38 Friday, December 31, 1976 THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS Quakers Give Speakers List for Planned Pro-PLO Parley WASHINGTON (JTA) — The American Friends Service Committee has listed its speakers for its conference here Feb. 11-14 which is aimed at promoting United States recognition of the Pales- tine Liberation Organi- zation. One of the speakers is Sabri Jiryis, the PLO rep- resentative who was or- dered to leave the U.S. Nov. 30. The State De- partment said last week that Jiryis left the coun- try and that any applica- tion to return would have to be examined in light of the fact that he listed false information on his original visa application. Among speakers listed by the Committee in a brochure • are Max Ticktin, vice-chairman of Breira and assistant na- tional director of Bnai Brith Hillel, and Arthur Waskow, of the Institute for Policy Studies. Both were among five Jews who met with Jiryis and another PLO repre- sentative in Washington in November. Other speakers include Richard A. Falk, of Princeton University, and Prof. Matti Peled, of Tel Aviv University. Meanwhile in. New York, the Conference of Presidents of Major Arabs Said to Block Trade Union Hearings on Territories American Jewish Or- ganizations, in a state- ment of consensus, said last week it "vigorously opposes and deplores any meetings — official or un- official — with the Pales- tine Liberation Organi- zation." From Beirut it was re- ported that Syrian Presi- dent Hafez al-Assad has assured Yassir Arafat and other Al Fatah lead- ers that they may main- tain leadership positions in the Palestine Libera- tion Organization. In return, Arafat as- sured both Syria and Egypt that the PLO would be cooperative and flexi- ble in Middle East negotia- tions expected next year. Meanwhile, Ugandan radio reported that Pal- estinian terrorists will strike at world targets next year to avenge the Israeli rescue at Entebbe. Liberal Party Head Ale) r Rose . .
