In the sec- ond half the Americans built up a ninepoint lead but blew it as the game came down to the wire. With three seconds remain= ing and Israel leading 90-89, Sims drove for the hoop and was fouled. While the panting fans from the U.S. cheered, the Israelis booed to distract the Black Jew from Long Island City High School. After an Israeli time-out, Sims stepped to the foul line, took a deep breath and calmly caged two foul shots giving the U.S. a point edge. The host quintet couldn't get the ball in play with three seconds left on the clock thereby giving America its first basketball championship in three Mac- cabiot. The U.S. for the first time in Maccabia history, emerged as overall top medal winner with a total of 192 compared to Israel's 190. The other competing na- tions were far behind the leaders in winning the cov- eted hardware. The U.S. swimmers fin- ished their stint for the games July 19 by adding four more golds to their staggering numbers. Three new Maccabia records were created by the Ameri- cans, including one by the 400-meter free-style men relay team, of 3 minutes and 34.36 seconds, beating the 1969 time of Mark-- Spitz's quartet. Wendy Weinberg started the day with a win in the 800-meter free-style women's event in record time of 9.03.46 breaking Nancy Spitz's 1969 mark on 9.40.5. Weinberg headed a U.S. sweep that saw Gayle Berkowitz and Norma Bar- ton finish second and third. Steven Pomerantz took the gold medal in the men's 100-meter free-style. Americans continued to dominate the highest brand of swimming ever wit- nessed here by making a clean sweep of gold medals July 17. Sam Franklin of Stanford University won in 56.70 in the 100-meter but- terfly to erase Mark Spitz's record. Two teammates, Po- merantz and Richard David- son grabbed the silver and bronze medals, behind Franklin. Hilary Bergman of the University of Alabama, won the 200-meters free-style in 1.55:01, his third gold medal to establish himself as the best free styler in the games. Norma Barton, 15- year-old Californian, beat out Olympic star Wendy Weinberg of Baltimore in the 100-meter butterfly in a new Maccabia time of 1.4:39.

Top-rated Steve Krulevitz of the U.S. whipped team- mate Larry Nagler in the men's tennis finals 6-3, 6-2. Despite their excellent play the men had to yield to the women for suspense in the double finals. Here in a tough two-and-a-half-hour match, South Africa's de- fending duo.;-; Ilana Kloss and Helen Weiner eked out a win over U.S. players Jodi Applebaum and Dona Robin, who led in the third set 5-3 and then blew the match.

Altogether, the U.S. snatched 10 gold, two silver and two bronze medals. , Rabbi Alex Sternberg, ka- rate coach, withdrew the U.S. from the competition after one day due to the fact that the games organiz- ing committee changed the rules governing the sport. Months ago, the rabbi was advised karate would be played under one set of rules only to find that pres- sure from European nations forced the games com- mittee to switch playing rules on the eve of the games. Sternberg refused to go along with the change and with the approval of the U.S. Committee Sports for Israel which sponsors the American athletes, with- drew his team from the play. The American wrestlers took nine medals in Greco- Roman wrestling and seven in free-style grappling. Is- rael didn't win a gold in this area while Canada sur- prised with four.

In a recent New York Times interview, reporter ALIZA BEGIN Howard Blum found Mrs. Begin, to be outspoken and opinionated. She spoke of her past and that of her, hus- band, when they fled Po- land when it was occupied by the Germans in World War II, when he was impris- oned in a Siberian labor camp and when she es- caped to pre-state Israel where she and her husband were reunited.

As long as you can fight back, you can learn to respect an opponent. The Nazis just slaughtered us. There was never an opportu- nity to fight back. " 'The same apples to the English, Our people were put in prison. Our people were brought to the gal- lows. But after war comes peace. " 'Look,' she adds with a smile, 'times change. Two weeks ago on Her Majes- ty's birthday my husband and I attended a party at the British Embassy and shook hands with the Brit- ish Ambassador. Nobody would have thought that only 30 years ago, there was a mice of 10,000 good English pounds on my hus- band's head.'

" Bomb Injures 11 in Tel Aviv Market TEL AVIV (JTA)—Elev- en persons were injured Wednesday today when a bomb exploded in the busy Carmel marketplace just off Allenby Rd. in the heart of Tel Aviv. Police detained several suspects, including a youth said to have tossed the bomb into a coffee- roasting shop while fleeing pursuers. An investigation is underway. The incident was the third in recent weeks in which shoppers were in- jured. Earlier bombings oc- curred in the Petah Tikva marketplace and in a Na- hariya supermarket, in- dicating that the per- petrators intended to cause maximum casualities. Wednesday's victims includ- ed a number of housewiN—g doing . their pre-Sabt shopping. According to eye wit- nesses, the 13-year-old son of a vendor noticed a youth of about 18 trying to shove a parcel under a cart. He alerted his father and neigh- boring vendors who pur- sued the youth. The latter threw the parcel into the coffee shop where it ex- ploded. to Blum: According "When she talks about the past, Mrs. Begin's tone and mood change. Her sen- tences rapidly spoken and cheerfully offered, suddenly become terse and emphat- ic. gshe no longer seems like a soft-spoken, carefully dressed grandmother, but rather a woman with very definite opinions that have been shaped by very pain- ful memories. " 'Never again will we be without means to defend ourselves,' she says, rapid- ly pounding her small fist on the coffee table for em- phasis., 'The most hor- rifying aspect of the Holocaust is that the Jews were just slaughtered. We were not prepared to fight back.'
