Carter's Stubborness on Jets
Submerges M.E. Peace Issue
Memorial, Anti-Nazi
Protests on Sunday
The annual Holocaust Academy memorial service of
Shaarit Haplaytah — survivors of the Holocaust — which
is scheduled for noon Sunday at Cong. Bnai David has
become the focus of community-wide protests against re-
surgent neo-Nazi activity in the Detroit area and the
planned Nazi parade in Skokie, Ill. on June 25.
The Sunday memorial service at Bnai David will con-
clude with a car caravan to Clark Park in Detroit, from
which a march will be held on Vernor Hwy. to a 3 p.m. rally
at Patton Park. The marchers will pass the former Nazi
bookstore on Vernor which has now become the Anti-Nazi
Information Center of the Labor-Community-Interfaith
Council Against the Nazis, representing more than 30
organizations.
A spokesman for the anti-Nazi group emphasized the
rally's importance: "Just because the Nazis are out of the
Vernor Hwy. store does not mean they are gone. We have
heard rumors that they are seeking new sites in Detroit and
the suburbs. And we are also worried about other cities in
the U.S."

WASHINGTON — President Jimmy Carter's controversial "package" sale of warplanes to Israel, Saudi
Arabia and Egypt was expected to be submitted to Congress today, amid Congressional assurances that it
would "surely be defeated" if President Carter remains adamant in making the sale an "all-or-nothing"
package.
The proposal is being submitted to Congress amidst delicate Middle East peace negotiations between the
Carter Administration and Israeli Foreign Minister Moshe Dayan. Prime Minister Menahem Begin will be
in Washington Monday as guest of honor at a reception given by Carter to celebrate Israel's 30th
anniversary. From 600 to 1,000 American Jewish leaders are being invited to the reception, which is seen
as an attempt by the Carter Administration to patch up its dispute with Israel in an effort to get the stalled
Mideast negotiations moving again.
Before leaving for the U.S., Dayan said he would rather see the entire arms package scrapped,
including Israel's share, rather than see Egypt and Saudi Arabia receive the U.S. jets.
Sen. Frank Church (D-Idaho), the second ranking member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee,
told newsmen after committee members met with Secretary of State Cyrus Vance Wednesday morning
that if the President sticks to his package arms proposal it will be defeated.
Carter stated at a White House press conference Tuesday that if Congress rejects the sale of planes to any
of the three countries he will withdraw the entire package. He also refused to delay for more than two to
three days submission of the package proposal to Congress.
Sen. Jacob K. Javits (R-NY) said that if the President "insists on take-it-all or leave-it-all, the chances
are we will leave it all." He stressed that Congress wants to accommodate the President, but thatit wanted
to be shown more "trust" by the Administration than heretofore.
Church said the three main concerns raised by committee members at their meeting with

Allied Jewish Campaign Sets New Record
Last Year's Income Exceeded in $17,250,000 Projection for 1978
A new record in fund-raising for Israel and more than 60 local and national causes
included in the Allied Jewish Campaign was set with the announcement at the closing
meeting of the drive that the sum of $17,250,000 is assured for 1978 when the untapped
contributions are included in the assured goal.
The Allied Jewish Campaign - Israel Emergency Fund division chairmen announced
totals of $16,211,261 donated by 19,708 donors. Jewish Welfare Federation Executive
Director Sol Drachler reported later figures at the end of the meeting at Cong. Beth
Abraham Hillel Moses. Drachler included 844 additional pledges for a total of
$16,320,236 and he projected that with donations yet to be received from previous
contributors the 1978 Campaign will reach $17,250,000 to $17,500,000.
Only three other American Jewish communities raised $17 million this year,
and the sum already pledged in the Detroit Allied Jewish Campaign is a
peacetime record for Detroit.

The report of the Junior Division, which is composed of donors up to 35 years of age,
received special attention from the audience. Division chairman Jeffrey N. Bonin re-
ported that his workers had reached 136 percent of their goal and had contacted 680 new
donors for the Allied Jewish Campaign.
Campaign General Chairmen Phillip Stollman and Philip Warren emphasized in their
reports the major efforts of Campaign leaders, workers and staff to make the 1978
Campaign a success.
In a brief address, Detroiter Max M. Fisher, chairman of the board of governors of the
Jewish Agency and honorary chairman of the executive committee of the Jewish Welfare
Federation of Metropolitan Detroit, lauded the efforts of "the two Phils" and the Detroit
Jewish community.
"I feel like a stranger here tonight," Fisher said. "There are so many new people. Then I
thought how wonderful that was — a new bank of leadership who will do us and the world
great service. We have developed a great cadre of leadership and this is what makes the
movement so successful and Jewish life so meaningful."
Fisher added that "the task ahead will be difficult, but the road to peace is
irreversible. We are going through a time of 'bumps' buteglong as Israel has the
backing and support of communities like our own then peikee will come."
"It is not for me to judge where Israel's borders will be," Fisher stad in an apparent
admonishment to American Jewish leaders who have criticized some of the Israeli
government's Middle East peace proposals.
"I don't live in Israel and I don't have to fight in her battles. It is up to us to support
Israel. We do a tremendous job of rescuing Jews all over the world, but once we get them
to Israel we fail them because we don't have all the resources we need. The funds you raise
are vitally needed."
The 1977 Campaign chairman, Daniel Honigman, demonstrated the strength of De-
troit's Jewish communal leadership by introducing former Allied Jewish Campaign
chairmen or members of their families present. The aggregation represented 54 years of
campaigning in Detroit in which $280 million had been contributed.
Paul Zuckerman, who led Detroit's Campaigns in 1961 and 1962, and the 1967
emergency Campaign, and is now world fund-raising chairman for the United
Jewish Appeal, gave a toast to Israel on her 30th anniversary. "We come together
to taste for a moment the fruits of Jewish solidarity, the glorious achievements of
these first 30 years . . . Who of us has not throughout these 30 years increasingly
embraced Israel, if not as a heartland, as a homeland."
Stollman concluded the meeting by leading the singing of Hatikva, and admonished
the audience that additional contributors remain to be contacted. "Every dollar raised
from this point," he said, "may save another child. This is what is important."
