The blast occurred at 6:45 p.m. local time. The dead person was not immediately identified. Six victims were seriously injured, 17 sus- tained lesser injuries and the rest light injuries. Most of the victims were rushed to Shaare Zedek Hospital. Ben-Yehuda St., a main shopping center, is a narrow thoroughfare. According to police the explosive charge was concealed in the wheels of a bicycle parked in an area reserved for pedest- rians and was apparently set to detonate at a time when it would cause maximum civilian casual- ties. Hundreds of customers were leaving the shops along the mall which close at 7 p.m. and other crowds were lining up for the first show at one of the many movie houses in the vicity. Many people raced to the area after the explosion to render assistance but suc- ceeded only in blocking am- bulances and other emergency vehicles rushing to the scene. Only a short while before the blast, police were investigating a number of suspicious- looking objects on a side street about 60 feet away. After the explosion, police combed the area for addi- tional explosives and found a second bomb which was safely dismantled. WASHINGTON (JTA) — The United States, Egypt and Israel reached a solu- tion Wednesday for a peacekeeping force in the Sinai to monitor the with- drawal of the Israeli milit- ary in accordance with the Egyptian-Israeli peace tre- aty. Secretary of State Cyrus Vance, Egyptian Defense Minister Hassan Ali and Is- raeli Foreign Minister Moshe Dayan made the an- nouncement after two days of discussions in Washington. The agreement is subject to approval by the Egyptian and Israeli governments Israeli Seeks Data on Relatives Neville Mandel of Israel is in the U.S. looking for relatives whose surnames are Mandel and Planover. In a letter to The Jewish News, Mandel explained: "My father's family — Mandel — came from the Lechovich area in the `Minsk Gubernya' of czarist Russia. My great- grandfather was called Joshua Myer Mandel, and he ran an inn, probably in a village called Vedjma, near Lechovich. "My grandfather, Ab- raham (born in Lechovich in 1871), mar- ried in Baranovich, also nearby, and went to Scot- land with his family in 1908 or so. He had a brother, Yosef, whose offspring, and other members of the family, are probably in America. My maternal grandmother was Pearl Planover, daughter of Yehuda and Faige Planover. She grew up in Liverpool, England, but her parents came from Bes- sarabia. The name Planover is so rare that I should be interested to hear from any- one bearing it whose forebears came from Bes- sarabia or Romania in gen- eral." Persons with information about Mandel's relatives should write him at 444 E. 86th St., New York, 10028. and Vance said that in the case of the U.S., the Presi- dent and Congress. The three leaders out- lined in general terms that the force will be made up of Egyptian and Israeli military elements, with the U.S. civilian monitors now in place in the Sinai as a surveil- lance group to partici- pate with them. Unless the United Nations Sec-- urity Council goes along with this proposal, it was understood, the UN will not have representatives in the peacekeeping force. The agreement is essentially that reached by Premier Menahem Begin and Egyptian Pres- ident Anwar Sadat in Haifa earlier this month, plus the new element of American participation. Opening the news confer- ence, Vance said that the U.S. will carry out its role through the 200 civilians already in the Sinai at the electronic listening posts. U.S. aerial reconnaissance will continue with an in- crease in the aerial force. In 1948, the total Jewish population for Egypt, Libya, Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Yemen, South Yemen, Tunisia, Morocco and Algeria was approximately 926,000.

Fund president Mort Feldman appointed Dean Jerrold Michael as chairman of the appeal. In an address to the trus- tees, Michael pointed out that many parallels exist between the boat people and "our Jewish boat people of 1937-1939." As a result of the decision to launch the appeal, 195 responses have been re- ceived totalling more than $6,700. Preliminary meet- ings have been held with Indochinese volunteer relief agencies.
