Eitan, who was chief of military operations at , the time, is accused in this case of having ordered his troops to take no prisoners, mean- ing that any captured ter- rorists were to be killed. Eitan, who is on a 10-day visit to the U.S. as guest of the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, had no com- ment. An army spokesman, however, denied emphati- cally that any such orders were given. The latest case involves former Lt. Col. Aryeh Sadeh, who commanded an engineering battalion in the Litani Operation. He was convicted by a military court of having ordered his men to kill one of three Arabs cap- tured by his unit. He was sentenced to 30 months imprisonment and reduced in rank to Captain. An appeals court incresded his punishment to five years imprisonment and demoted him to the rank of private, but Eitan intervened, or- dered the original lighter, sentence restored and ele- vated Sadeh to major, just one rank below his original one. The entire • case was cloaked in secrecy. It was acknowledged by the mili- tary authorities last Friday CONGREGATION BETH ACHIM 21100 W. 12 Mile, Southfield Presents An Evening of Superb Entertainment SUN., NOV. 18, 1979 at 8:00 P.M.

The British periodical had apparently received the information from MK Uri Avneri of the leftist Sheli faction, the-same source that exposed the similar case of Lt. Daniel Pinto sev- eral months ago. Pinto, who commanded a platoon during the Lebanese operation, was convicted of the torture- murder of four Lebanese civilians and was sentenced to 12 years imprisonment, later reduced to eight years, and stripped of rank. Eitan cut that sentence to two years, including time al- ready served. _By coincidence, Pinto, who received additional time off for good behavior, was released from jail on Friday, just as the Sadeh story was breaking. Sadeh did not deny that he had ordered the execu- tion of a prisoner he be- lieved to have been a ter- rorist. But he insisted, ac- cording to the Spectator story, that he was carrying out the spirit of the ordered given at a briefing by top army officers that no ter- rorists be taken alive. His wife, Yaffa, who is cora- paigning for her husband's release, said in a radio interview that those orders were given directly by Eitan. An army spokesman said that strict orders were given not to harm prisoners, in- cluding any terrorists who might given themselves up. He said all operational or- ders contained detail in- structions of how captured terrorists should be treated and transferred to interro- - gation centers. Housing Speedup Sought in LONDON (JTA) — David Levy, Israel's absorption and housing minister, gave notice here that he is de : termined to introduce more efficient foreign building methods into Israel in order to speed up new accommo- dations for immigrants and Israeli citizens. Levy said that one of the foreign property developers who was interested in in- troducing new building methods into Israel was Leon Tamman, treasurer of the World Sephardi Federa- tion. In the public sector alone this year, construc- tion had begun on 20,000 units, compared with 7,500 in 1978 and 5,000 in 1977. In the private sec- tor, construction had begun on an additional 25,000 dwellings, he said. In the past two years, he noted, 40 percent of new- comers had been absorbed in developm-ent towns where immigrants of the 1950s were now absorbing the immigrants of the 1970s.

It said it would act in con- cert with other leftist, pro- gressive and "revolutionary circles" to compel Israel to evacuate "occupied Arab territories" and comply with other United Nations resolutions relating to the Palestinian people.
