Israel Is Expected at London
Talks Despite Sadat Position
NCSJ Will Monitor
the Moscow Olympics
NEW YORK — Eugene Gold, chairman of the National
Conference on Soviet Jewry (NCSJ), has announced the
formation of an Olympic Committee to evaluate the 1980
Moscow games.
In announcing the committee, still in formation with
representatives from the American Jewish community and
members of the sports world, Gold said, "It was recently
reported in the American press that the USSR through our
Moscow Embassy has told the American Administration
that no exit visas will be issued after January 1979 because
the Soviet visa offices will be 'too busy processing foreig-
ners' applications to attend the Olympic Games.' "
Olympic Committee Chairman Sol Goldstein, who
also serves as the NCSJ secretary, warned that such a
step would "guarantee a major clash surrounding the
Olympic Games."
During previous sports events in the USSR, most notably
the 1973 University Games, Soviet Jews were forbidden
from attending sports events.
"The committee will see that Soviet Jews are not singled
out for punitive punishments, detentions, or harassment,"
Goldstein pointed out. Members of the committee have
already met with NBC-TV President Robert E. Mulholland
regarding coverage of the event. NBC-TV negotiated exc-
lusive rights to telecast the Moscow Olympics at a reported
cost of $85 million.
"The Olympic Games have traditionally been a
symbol of international cooperation and friendly
competition between nations of various political per-
suasions. Clearly," Goldstein noted, "any Soviet at-
tempt to weaken the Soviet Jewish emigration move-
ment under the guise of the Olympic Games would be
political and moral travesty and will be met with both
public and private protests."
The NCSJ Olympic Committee plans to exchange infor-
mation and recommendations with various similar com-
mittees that have been formed in Western Europe, Mexico
and South America.
JERUSALEM (JTA) — Israel received Egypt's peace plan for the West Bank and Gaza Strip on
Wednesday. While the initial reaction of officials here was that the Egyptian terms are extremely hard,
consensus was that the plan contained no pre-conditions that would prevent Israel from participating in
the proposed foreign ministers conference in London later this month.
The Egyptian plan was presented by U.S. Ambassador Samuel Lewis and White House aide David Aaron
to Premier Menahem Begin and Foreign Minister Moshe Dayan. Begin told reporters later that Israel had
always advocated negotiations without pre-conditions. His remark was taken as a hint that the Cabinet on
Sunday will authorize Dayan to go to London for a meeting with Egyptian Foreign Minister Mohammed
Kaamel and Secretary of State Cyrus Vance.
According to the Cairo press, the plan proposes the return of the West Bank to Jordan and the
Gaza Strip to Egypt for a five-year interim period during which security issues would be
negotiated between Israel and the two Arab states.
At the end of the interim period the Palestinians would exercise their "right to self-determination."
The plan differs sharply from that proposed by Israel which would grant local self-rule to the West Bank
and the Gaza Strip while retaining Israeli military control of these territories. After the five-year interim,
Israel says it would be willing to review its relations with the parties but will make no commitment now to
withdraw, even partially from the territories.
Dayan, meanwhile, expressed opposition to Shimon Peres' projected meeting in Vienna this Sunday with
President Anwar Sadat of Egypt. He told the Knesset Foreign Affairs and Security Committee that the
government alone, not the leader of the opposition, should handle contacts with Cairo. Peres retorted that
the meeting was being held under the auspices of the Socialists International and that Begin had raised no

Planned Detroit Protest Motorcade Sunday
Tied to Chicago Anti-Nazi Demonstrations
Detroit's Labor-Community-Interfaith Council Against the Nazis is sponsoring a motorcade demonstration on
Sunday in front of Detroit's Nazi bookstore, 20807 Fenkell. The motorcade will assemble at 2:30 p.m. at Stoepel Park,
W. Outer Dr. and Evergreen.
Paul Boatin, chairman of the coalition, said the demonstration is tied in to demonstrations in Chicago tonight and
tomorrow to protest Nazi plans to march in Marquette Park tomorrow.
The Chicago Council Against the Nazis sent representatives throughout the Midwest this week to coordinate the
counter-demonstration.
Anti-Nazi demonstrators in Chicago will meet 7 p.m. tonight at the West Englewood Methodist Church,
2000 West 68th St., Chicago, for a mass meeting. The groups will gather at noon Saturday at 71st and
Hamilton to parade to Marquette Park.
5350, or Daymon Hartley, 875 - 2319.
Detroiters interested in going to Chicago can call Boatin, 849 - 3866 or 842 -
Boatin said the Nazis occupying the Detroit bookstore have promised the landlord to be out of the store by July 17. He
said, however, that the coalition does not believe the Nazis, and will continue its efforts to get the Nazis out of the store.
Service With Love Plans Parties for Volunteers and Aged
The free program was begun in March 1976 with 13
clients and a handful of volunteers. The volunteers make
the calls from their own homes, or from Sinai, six par-
ticipating churches or from three participating senior citi-
zen centers.
The Service With Love program updates its records
for health needs
on each client dai y. Transportation
ranspo
are provided and social service agencies are con-
t.: 7.ted whenever necessary.
The organization has a number of documented incidents
in which the Service With Love telephone call saved the life
of an elderly person. The volunteers telephone the client's
relatives, neighbors or emergency services when the tele-
phone is not answered at the appointed time.
According to Rose Greenberg, who began the research in
1971 that ultimately led to the Service With Love Program,
"These calls are not just a check in, but are warm, friendly,
reassuring. This call directly alleviates the loneliness and
fears of being hurt or dying unnoticed.
"This little call interrupts that cycle of destructive feel-
ings — of isolation, alienation and depression. It brings the
aged back into a world of reality — of socializing on a
one-to-basis."
She added, "Our volunteers are given in-depth

Shirley Gruber, Service With Love chairman.
Sinai Hospital's Service With Love program will celeb-
rate more than two years of staying in touch with the lonely
or handicapped aged next week.
A series of luncheons will be held to bring together the
330 elderly "clients" with the more than 200 volunteers
who call them seven days a week.
but they are required to report daily to our hospital
supervisory volunteers.
"From within our Guild Office we follow up on all our
clients' needs — from life and death emergencies to such a
simple request as wanting a visitor."
According to Jane Blumberg, president of the Sinai Hos-
pital Guild, "We have come to recognize the very real need
of the aged to be involved in recreational, pleasurable ac-
tivities — to feel wanted and a part of the world outside
their homes.
"Sinai Hospital, in celebration of its 25th anniversary
year, is sponsoring such a community service by planning
the Service With Love week of parties to provide enter-
tainment for the aged and to honor their devoted volunteer
tee r callers."
Volunteer transportation has been arranged for all of the
elderly who may need it to attend the party in their area.
More than 350 persons are expected to attend the first
party, 11:30 a.m. Monday at Temple Israel. That affair
will be for the volunteers and clients of the Sinai Hospital
Guild, Greater Christ Baptist Church, Asstunption Grotto
Parish and St. Thomas Aquinas Church.
Other parties will be held: Tuesday, Pearl Wright
Center, Royal Oak Township; Wednesday, Hazel Park
Multi Purpose Center, Thursday, Oak Park, Royal Oak and
Southfield satellites- at the Oak Park Community Center;
Friday, Dearborn Heights satellite at its center.
