Israel Impresses Black Leaders
L
NEW YORK — "We
Black people, who want to
remain a nation, have a lot
to learn from this little
country where deserts are
turned into flourishing
lands."
This was the observation
of Bernard H. Jackson, spe-
cial assistant to the gover-
nor of New York, who
toured Israel last month
with 14 other members of
"One Hundred Black Men,"
a group of Black profes-
sional and business leaders
in New York.
The delegation was led by
Bruce Llewelyn, president
of Fedco Food Corp. and
board member of the Free-
'
dom National Bank in New
York. Their fact-finding
tour included meetings with
top Israeli officials and
visits to kubutzim and indus-
trial sites.
After visiting Masada,
Bethlehem, Nazareth and
'usalem, the group plan-
, trees in the American
National Bicentennial Park.
For Harold Sims, vice presi-
dent of Johnson & Johnson
Corporation, and Donald
Miller, vice president of per-
sonnel at Columbia Univer-
sity — both veteran para-
troopers in the United
States Army — a highlight
of the tour was a visit to
the Israel Defense Forces
paratroopers training
school.
The delegation also vis-
ited the "Good Fence," an
open point in the normally
closed Israel-Lebanese bor-
der, where Lebanese cross
the border to work, obtain
goods unavailable at home,
and receive free medical
services.
"We learned an impor-
tant lesson during our stay
in Israel," said Judge Her-
bert Evans of the Supreme
Court Appellate Division:
"Not taking 'no' for an an-
swer is the way to achieve
the impossible."

Solomon was chairman of
the board and chief execu-
tive officer of the Arlen
Shopping Centers Company,
the country's largest shop-
ping center development
corporation.
Freeman served as chief
assistant to James Schlesi-
nger, Secretary of Energy.
Last week the World Jew-
ish Congress sent a letter to
Secretary General Wal-
dheim asking him to ex-
plain. why the WJC had
been denied permission to
attend the apartheid confer-
ence.

Boycott Watch
NEW YORK (JTA)-
Three major Jewish organi-
zations have announced
they will keep a close
watch on the way American
companies respond to Arab
boycott demands.
The American Jewish
Committee, American Jew-
ish Congress and Anti-Defa-
mation League of Bnai
Brith said they plan to use
their findings to recom-
mend reulations for imple-
menting the law enacted
June 22.
Social Council as well as
the International Labor Or-
ganization, the Organization
of American States and the
Council of Europe, was not
told of the selection process
or why it was rejected and
others approved. He point-
ed out that the WJC has "a
commitment to work for
human rights generally."
At the same time, Herzog
said, the PLO was invited
despite its "anti-Semitism,"
and at its request the Com-
mittee for the Exercise of
the Inalienable Rights of
the Palestinian People has
also received an invitation
"even though its mandate
is in no way connected with
the conference and it was
originally not invited for
precisely that reason."
