Begin Publicly Discloses Israel's
Military Aid to Lebanese Christians
y
,
TEL AVIV (JTA )—Pre-
mier Menahem Be gin M on-
day disclosed for the first
time officially that Israel is
providing military aid to
the Christians in southern
Lebanon. The Premier said
if it were not for Israeli aid
the Christians would long
ago have been "wiped out"
by the Palestinian terror-
ists.
Begin's disclosure was
made to 100 Jewish leaders
from the U.S. and Canada
participating in the 1977 Je-
rusalem Leadership Confer-
ence of the Israel Bond Or-
ganization.
"We help than militar-
ily, - Begin told the group
who were assembled in the
Knesset. should not be a
secret. Public opinion in the
United States and through-
out the Christian world
should know it. Without our
military help the Christian
minority would have been
totally wiped ()it long ago. -
The Premier also said
"when the barrage is
opened on the Christian vil-
lages we train our fire on
the origins of the hostile
fire and then it quiets
down."

Meanwhile.
cers
Christian army officers
said Monday that they were
"encouraged" by Begin's
statements when he visited
the Golan Heights recently
that Israel would never
desert the Christians in
south Lebanon. -We are
sure now that Israel will
stand by us when needed,"
the officers said. "It was
good to hear such words
said by Begin."
The artillery and automat-
ic weapons war between
the Palestinian terrorists
and the Christian villagers
continues in southern Leba-
non. The firing can be
heard in Israel, especially
during the night, when it in-
tensifies. About 24 persons
were reported killed or
wounded Sunday night.
Early in the week a
fierce battle took place in
South Lebanon between Pa-
lestinian terrorists and
Lebanese Christians.
Although a truce calling
for total case-fire was sign-
ed in Shtoura recently, the
terrorists have "in-
tensified - their artillery at-
tacks against Christian vil-
lages, according to Saad
Hadad, a Lebanese major
who crossed into Metullah
last Friday.
Israeli Awarded
NJ H Fellowship
DENVER—Israeli physi-
cian Dr. Shmuel Kivity has
been awarded the first Har-
old Lane Fellowship in pe-
diatric allergy and immuno-
logy at National Jewish Hos-
pital and Research Center
in Denver.
The Lane fellowship pro-
vides funds for one year of
advanced research ' and
training in the field of pe-
diatric allergy and immuno-
logy.
Hadad said that his vil-
lage of Merj Uyun, on a hill
facing Metullah, and other
Christian villages are al-
most completely cut off. A
shell that exploded in the
village last Friday night
killed one person and in-
jured five. The injured
were brought to the - good
fence - for treatment.
Hadad charged that the
Syrians have reversed their
position and are providing
the terrorists with supplies,
advisors and long-distance
artillery.
Saying that he was appeal-
ing to the "world's con-
science," Hadad declared:
"Why do they aid the Pales-
tinians whom they call refu-
gees, although they are the
kings of Lebanon now? We
are the ones who are suffer-
ing."

Dulzin: Agency Must Be Ready
for Soviet, Syrian Immigration
JERUSALEM (JTA) —
Jewish Agency Treasurer
Leon Dulzin told United
Jewish Appeal leaders in
Houston, Texas Sunday that
the Agency cannot risk
being unprepared for any
unexpected liberalization in
Soviet or Syrian policies.
Speaking from Jerusalem
in a live telephone hook-up
to the UJA's Southwest Re-
gion Leadership Institute,
Dulzin said that although
only 20,000 immigrants are
expected in 1977-78, the Jew-
ish Agency must be gre-
ed with the necessary in-
raAructure and budget to
support 30,000 to 35,000 im-
migrants should the current
curbs on emigration from
the Soviet Union and Syria
be abandoned.
In any case, providing the
new immigrants with hous-
ing, employment and sup-
port services requires ad-
vance planning and cannot
be left until the immigrants
arrive, Dulzin explained.
"With immigration we
always have to be prepared
for more," he said. "Immi-
gration is an un-
loown....We're fighting to
get our Soviet brothers out.
Right now, they're only let-
ting out 1,200 to 1,300 a
month," he said.
On Syrian Jews, Dulzin
said: "Hopefully, if peace
negotiations advance, , this
issue will be one of our
major conditions...that they
will be allowed to go...and,
hopefully, they will come to
Israel."
UN Group Votes to Assist PLO
GENEVA (JTA)—Acting
on the recommendation of
its policy and program
coordinating committee,
the United Nations Econom-
ic and Social Council (ECO-
SOC) adopted a resolution
last Thursday calling for as-
sistance to the Palestinians
and cooperation with the Pa-
lestine Liberation Organiza-
tion.
The
resolution
was
adopted by a roll-call vote
of 34-1 with 11 abstentions.
The United States cast the
sole negative vote. Abstain-
ing were: Austria, Canada,
Denmark, France, West
Germany, Italy, The Nether-
lands, New Zealnad, Nor-
way, Portugal and the
United Kingdom.
The ECOSOC called once
more upon the UN devel-
opment program and the
specialized agencies and
other organizations within
the UN system "to continue
and intensify, as a matter
of urgency and in coordina-
tion with the Economic
Commission for Western
Asia, their efforts in identi-
fying the social and econom-
ic needs of the Palestinian
people."
The ECOSOC urges these
agencies and organizations
"to consult and cooperate
closely with the Palestine
Liberation Organization;
the representative of the Pa-
lestinian people, with • a
view to establishing and
fully implementing con-
crete projects to ensure the
improvement of the social
and economic conditions of
the Palestinian people."
The resolution was spon-
sored by Yugoslavia on be-
half of the Council mem-
bers which are members of
"The Group of 77."

of Arabat al-Batuf in cen-
tral lower Galilee is built

uprooted. It appeared that
a kerosene-like substance
was used to burn some
trees, according to the Har-
rison police.
"Stick people - up to 'six
feet were also painted on
the greens, similar to fig-
ures doodled on paper, ac-
cording to John Traynor, su-
perintendent of courses.
Lt. Albert Della Rocco of
the Harrison police depart-
ment attributed the damage
to "criminal mischief." The
vandalism did not seem to
indicate anti-Semitic senti-
ments because "the club
has Christians and Jews.'

vandalism have occurred in
the past, it was "never to

Traynor said that van-

the case in this incident.
The cost of labor for re-
