Meanwhile, leaders of the
nine European Economic
Community (EEC) coun-
tries put their full weight
behind President Carter's
call for the creation of a Pa-
lestinian homeland, urged
Israel to recognize the "le-
gitimate rights" of the Pa-
lestinian people and said
the Palestinians should be
represented in Middle East
peace negotiations "in an
appropriate manner to be
worked out in consultation
between the parties con-
cerned."
In a major political state-
ment at the EEC's summit
meeting in London, the nine
also said Israel „should give
up territory occupied since
1967 while the Arabs should
recognize Israel's right to
secure and recognized
boundaries.

on the Mideast which he
told the President could be
"misinterpreted" as a
"blueprint to be imposed"
as well as raise Arab expec-

At the outset of the meet-
ing, newsmen heard Carter
tell the delegation that
there was a chance a
Middle East peace could be
achieved "within the next
number of months." He
said the U.S. continues to
have unswerving support
for Israel while at the same
time there had to be open,
frank and sometimes dis-
puted discussions between
the two countries.
Carter said that he had
outlined concepts that will
be difficult for the Arab
leaders to accept. "It is ac-

SMALL BEQUESTS
BUILD A
STRONG ISRAEL
If the tradition of including the Jewish
National Fund in the Will of every Jew were
invariably followed, sufficient resources would
be accumulated to ensure the future of the
young Jewish State on a sound basis of land
development, social weVare, and justice.
A bequest to the Jewish National Fund
should be as* traditional as having a Blue Box
in one's home.
You may want your bequest to be
dedicated to afforestation, to a village, a
Nachlah, to a children's play area, to perpetual
yahrzeit or kaddish, or to some form of
permanent tribute in the names of persons
dear to you.

National Fund, 22100 Greenfield, 968-0820.

Eban Trip to United States
JERUSALEM—The
Labor Alignment is in a
furor over a proposal by
the Likud government to
send former Foreign Min-
ister Abba Eban to the U.S.
to explain Israel's position
to American officials and
the public.
Eban, A labor member of
the Knesset, has discussed
the suggestion with Foreign
Minister Moshe Dayan and
seems inclined to accept it.
But many members of the
Labor Alignment say it
would be outrageous for
Eban to speak in America
on behalf of Likud.
Yitzhak Navon said that
many people in the U.S.
would not understand the
subtle but important differ-
ence between the national
concensus over the need for
secure borders, meaning no
return to the 1967 lines, and
the general attitude of
Likud.
Eban has countered such
arguments by stressing that
if he accepted the Likud
proposal he would express
his own ideas and Likud
knows exactly what his
ideas are.
Eban has discussed the
matter at length with Labor
Party leader Shimon Peres
and will also sound out
American Jewish leaders
before deciding whether to
make the trip.
Last week Eban stormed
out of the Knesset after
Labor refused to seat hirri
on the Knesset Foreign Af-
fairs and Defense Com-
mittee.
Eban, who was slated to
be foreign minister if Labor
had won the May 17 elec-
tions, was passed over in
favor of Peres, former Pre-
mier Yitzhak Rabin, former
Foreign Minister Yigal
Allon, former Justice Min-
ister Haim Zadok, former
Minister of Commerce and
Industry Haim Barley, Yitz-
hak Navon and Meir Talmi
of Mapam.
Political analysts believe
that the Alignment will
eventually allow Peres to re-
sign the post in favor of
Eban.
Airport Attackers
Are Secretly Tried
TEL AVIV—Two West
German and three Arabs
went on trial before a se-
cret military court Wednes-
day, accused of trying to
shoot down an Israeli air-
liner with missles at the
Nairobi, Kenya, airport last
year. The five were caught
by Israeli agents a few
days after the foiled attack,
and they were held secretly
until last March, when it
was announced they would
go on trial.
An unconfirmed British
newspaper report said last
year that Ugandan Presi-
dent Idi Amin, who is on
bad terms with neighboring
Kenya, had given Soviet an-
ti-aircraft missles to the
five.

The Hebrew term "min-
hag" generally is translated
as "custom." It means a
way of conduct ; the man-
ner in which responsible
Jews conducted them-
selves.
The force of certain cus-
toms became binding in ac-
cordance with Jewish law.
This indicated the power of
the organized community in
generating laws through
procedures which pious
people adopted as their way
of life. These ways eventu-
ally gained the authority of
law as they became the
way of life for the Jewish
people.
