THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS GOP Lauds Platform Plank's `Very Strong' Support of Israel (Continued from Page 1) The U.S. "will con- tinue" to defend "any na- tion subjected to such outrageous assaults," the plank also . said. In addi- tion, the United States should withdraw promptly "if that body fails to stop its increasing politicization." The U.S. has warned that it will leave the International Labor Organization be- cause, among other +1-lings, it has allowed the to enter as obser- vers. George Klein, New York industrialist who was assisting Fisher-in coordinating the Ford campaign nationally, with heavy emphasis on the New York area, said he was especially pleased with domestic planks that oppose quota systems and offer hope of federal aid to parochial schools. Klein also welcomed the absence in the Middle East section of any men- tion of Palestinians. A possibly subtle effort in this direction was wiped out in the discussions of the plank by the full committee last week when Sen. Hugh Scott of Pennsylvania, the Re- publican leader in the Se- nate, demanded changes of language in two places from "all parties" to "all nations" and "between the parties" to "between the states' . involved. "We do not want to be interpreted as negotiating with the PLO and Yasir Arafat," Scott declared. "we do not want to negotiate with parties but with nations." David Lissy, a lawyer from Philadelphia on Ford's White House staff, indicated that he found high enthusiasm for the platform in his talks with up to 75 of the Jewish de- legates at the convention. The adoption by the platform committee of the minority report re- garding the constitu- tional amendment for equal rights for women (ERA) was especially pleasing to Pat Goldman, of Washington, D.C., who is spearheading the Re- publican Womens Task Force here and Mrs. Joan Miller Lipsky of Cedar POOL CLOSINGS $115 for average residential pool call Now for appt. 557-2657 S & 0 POOL DOCTORS Tom Stubbs Chemical Equipment Accessories & all repairs Mark Orechkin `Morality in Foreign Policy' Amendment Hits Kissinger KANSAS CITY (JTA) — The Republican na- tional convention's ap- proval by voice vote of Ronald Reagan's "moral- ity in foreign policy' . amendment to the party's platform was generally regarded as a psychologi- cal harpooning of Secret- ary of State Henry Kis- singer which the Ford Administration felt it had to accept to avoid further hostility from Reagan supporters. Kissinger arrived in Kansas City Thursday. Other Cabinet members were at the convention since Sunday. Kissinger's belated visit was set last week long before he knew the Administration would not contest the bitter at- tack on his diplomatic style. Although he was a target for the Reagan forces for months, Kis- singer was not personally named in the amend- ment. The amendment con- centrated on attacking current Soviet-American new address 135 pierce birmingham, michigan 313/642-3860 formerly Barbara's Stationery • Bar Mitzvas • Bat Mitzvas • Confirmations Boutique Items • Weddings CANDID PICTURE SPECIAL 12-8x 10 Color Photos With Album 69.95 up to 20% off on invitations Black and white Copy special 5x7, reg. $10.00, Special Passport Photos in color while you wait 2 for 5.00 6.00 Bel-Crest Studio =Ea Rapids, Iowa, who brought the issue to a head within the platform committee. ERA has won the early and consistant support of many Jewish national women's organizations and it has been endorsed in Republican Party plat- forms since 1940. In the platform sub- committee's deliberation this year, however, a majority opposed en- dorsement. Mrs. Lipsky fought it through the full committee and had en- dorsement restored. At the close of Tues- day's session, Rabbi Is- rael Miller, a vice presi- dent of Yeshiva Univer- sity and the immediate past chairman of the Con- ference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations, gave the benediction. 23352 Farmington Rd.

The Middle East was not mentioned either in the amendment itself or by the array of pro-amendment speakers that preceded its acceptance. However, Reagan's campaign man- ager, John Sears, told the Jewish Telegraphic Agency on Monday that the amendment did have implications bearing on the area. The Sinai Agreement Kissinger engineered be- tween Egypt and Israel, the original U.S.- Egyptian discussion on American nuclear equipment and the un- certainty of U.S. contacts with the PLO and the out- look for post-election tac- tics in the Mideast were noted as incidences of the Kissinger style that has invoked criticism. Meanwhile, Sears answered a complaint from an Egyptian newspaperman Wednesday on why Reagan's previously ex- pr essed views on "Palestinians" are not in- cluded in the Republican plank on the Middle East by saying the GOP platform is a "party document as well as a candidate document." Sears replied that "other positions taken by Reagan in the past" are "not quite included" in the platform. The JTA asked Sears to interpret the Ford leadership's decision not to oppose the "morality in foreign policy" amendment to the platform and whether dropping the fight indicated the Administration con- sidered Secretary of State Henry A. Kissinger as "ex- pendable". Pointing out that Kissinger is not mentioned in the amendment, Sears said he thought the Ford peoples' decision was "more a matter of politics" to avoid another roll-call vote.

Herzl. Accompanied by Prof. David M. Maeir, director general of Shaare Zedek, Poher viewed several of the projects which are being supported by mem- bers of the French com- mittee. Other friends of Shaare Zedek in France have become founders of the new medical center, and their names will be permanently inscribed in the 10-story building when it opens in the fall of 1977. During his tour, Poher said he was especially in- terested in the modern emergency systems for detecting smoke and fire within the building, and in instances where French hospital design was used as a model for the new Shaare Zedek.
