70 Friday, October 29, 1976 THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS Largest Delegation From U.S. Joins 1st UJA Parley in Israel JERUSALEM (JTA) — The largest delegation ever of American Jewish leaders — more than 3,000 of them — were joined by 4,000 Israelis at the Yad Eliahu Sports Stadium in Tel Aviv Monday for the opening of the first United Jewish Appeal national confer- ence ever to be held in Is- rael. The event turned into a mass demonstration of solidarity with Israel, a theme stressed by Presi- dent Ephraim Katzir. Katzir spoke to the de- legates about Israel's ex- ternal and internal prob- lems. He urged a joint campaign to open the doors for the immigration to Israel of Jews in the Soviet Union and those still in Arab lands. He stressed, however, that Israel's future re- quired the immigration of Western Jews as well. He did not ignore the shortcomings of Israeli society. He said the coun- try needed the joint efforts of world Jewry to over- come them. He predicted that in the long run, Israel would enjoy peace and .cooperation with its neighbors. Mayor Shlomo Lehat of Tel Aviv said in greeting the UJA delegates that Israel's main problem was no longer to secure itself because Israel will "live forever." The main problem, he said, is to learn how to live together and he asked for in- creased aliya. Frank Lautenberg, general chairman of the UJA, observed in his speech that whereas some say that Israel is a burden, "We say that - Is- rael is not a burden but a source of inspiration to freedom loving people everywhere." He was referring to re- mark made by U.S. Gen. George S. Brown that Is- rael was a military "bur- den" on the U.S. Lauten- berg pledged that the American-Jewish com- munity would continue to support Israel with grea- ter zeal and greater effort than ever before. "We want to tell the entire world that our lives are tied to Israel by eternal ties." Former Premier Golda Meir was unable to ad- dress the UJA opening as originally planned. She was discharged Monday from Hadassah Hospital in Jerusalem where she was treated for an intes- tinal infection and is now convalescing. Writers Seek UN Conscience A group of distin- guished writers and ar- tists, including 1976 Nobel Laureate Saul Bel- low, have written letters to major newspapers throughout the United States expressing the hope that the current session of the United Na- tions General Assembly "will not re-enact the macabre tragedy of last year's session." The letter, which ap- peared in the Wednesday editions of the Detroit News, said the writers were referring specifi- cally to the "infamous" _UN resolution "smearing Zionism as racism." The writers traced the history of the UN, which they said was formed to combat the venom created by Hitler. They called on the Western nations "to prevent the re-enactment of last year's action." The letter was signed by Edward Albee, Cleve- land Amory, Bellow, Col- leen Dewhurst, Julie Harris, Norman Mailer, Bernard Malamud, Louise Nevelson, Leon- tyne Price, Robert Raus- chenberg, Beverly Sills, Raphael Soyer and John Updike. Israel Will Get Some Arms Approved by President Ford TEL AVIV (JTA) — U.S. Deputy Secretary of Defense William Cle- _ments confirmed four of the items on Israel's military purchase list ap- proved by President Ford. Two of the items that Israel will receive are al- ready in use by Israel's armed forces — the M-60 heavy tank and 155 mm Howitzers. The new items are air-fuel cluster bombs, sometimes refer- red to as concussion bombs, and infra-red sen- sor systems for night fighting, known as FLIR. He said Israel would get delivery of the re- quested items in due time but reiterated that some weapons will take up to three years for delivery. He also told newsmen that he saw no reason why a mutually advantageous --zAment for the co- -- production of parts for the new American F-16 jet fighter in Israel could not be reached. Clements reportedly had discussed that mat- ter at a meeting with Premier Yitzhak Rabin but apparently no ag- reements were reached. Booth Newspapers Sell to Newhouse The Booth family, major stockholders in Booth Newspapers, Inc., has urged its stockhol- ders to sell the company to Samuel I. Newhouse, president of Newhouse Newspapers, for $47 a share. The family will realize a profit of $18 million more than a similar offer from the Times Mirror Co. who also was urging the Booth family to sell. The family controls 34 percent of the company's stock. 1 u. 3 7 T - , , Canada Will Reveal Boycott Collaborators . OTTAWA (JTA) — Sec- retary of State for Exter- nal Affairs, Donald Jamieson, speaking in the House of Commons, said that the Canadian gov- ernment will make public the names of any Cana- dian companies comply- ing with the Arab boycott of Israel and will deny fi- nancial and other support to such companies. Jamieson explained that companies comply- ing with the boycott will be deprived of such help as obtaining government financing or market in- formation. He added that such a refusal of government support would be a very serious handicap and an effective deterrent to cooperation with dis- criminatory provisions of an international boycott, but "despite sanctions by the Canadian govern- ment, certain firms may nonetheless agree to boycott clauses for par- ticular projects. All Canadian firms that ac- cept boycott clauses will be required to report all instances of their comply- ing with boycott provi- sions. Information ob- tained from such reports will be made available to the public." Jamieson also remarked that "the government rec- ognizes that Arab coun- tries consider their boycott of Israel to be a legitimate economic weapon in view of the con- tinuing state of war bet- ween Arab countries and Israel. Canada, however, seeks to improve its rela- tions and to develop its trade in peaceful goods with all nations." Meanwhile, in the Township of North Bergen (N.J.) has adopted a resolution instructing the township's purchas- ing agent to limit his deal- ings to firms which do not comply with the Arab boycott against Israel and urging other municipalities to adopt the same restriction. In New York, the recent partial disclosure by the Department of Commerce of American firms who have received Arab boycott requests was cal- led "inadequate" by Dr. Joseph P. Sternstein, president of the 120,000 member Zionist Organiza- tion of America, who reit- erated his demand for the complete and unrestricted publication of the list of all companies which have complied with the Arab boycott "past and pre- sent." In Washington, Sen. Adlai E. Stevenson, D-Ill., Hebrew Daily NEW YORK (JTA) — Final preparations are underway for the publi- cation of the first Hebrew-language daily newspaper in the United States. A spokesman for the Is- rael Daily Herald, Ltd., the company behind the new paper, said the first issue is expected to ap- pear toward the end of November. predicted that there would be Congressional action next year dealing with the U.S. response to the Arab boycott of Is- rael. * * * LONDON (JTA) — Fif- teen British industrial companies are at present holding discussions with the Israel economic mis- sion in London with a view to investing in Is- rael, economic counsellor Amos Lavee disclosed.

Smaller expanding companies, as well as bigger concerns, are being approached. Monument Unveilings Unveiling announcements may be inserted by mail or by calling The Jewish News, 17515 W.
