Stance JERUSALEM (JTA) — A group of Israeli activists on behalf of Soviet Jewry has urged the International Olympic Committee (IOC) to boycott the 1980 Olympic Games in Moscow. FAY, Even Though You Made The HARD NINE You're MY TEN Love, AL Nobel Peace Prize winner Prof. Andrei Sakharov, center, now banished to Gorky, spoke up strongly and fearlessly for the rights of Jews in the USSR.

(313) 358-5444 The group, which calls it- self "I Am My Brother's Keeper," cabled the IOC in Lake Placid, N.Y., saying they have evidence that Soviet authorities will take new steps against Soviet Jews. (The IOC voted this week to keep the Games in Moscow.) A spokeswoman for the group said that it had re- ceived a telephone call from one Jewish activist in the USSR and a letter from an- other warning of dangers facing Jews. She quoted the letter as saying: "We are living in hard times. We are ques- tioned by the KGB and are afraid they plan to throw us out of Moscow before the Olympic Games." Meanwhile, 25 Knesset members of various factions signed a petition calling for a boycott of the Games. The petition was initiated by Geula Cohen, a former Herut MK who has joined the ultra-nationalist CASH FOR DIAMONDS GOLD PLATINUM JEWELRY SEE US FIRST FOR THE TOP DOLLAR Ildentairn CreotiveJeAelers in the Franklin Plaza Aesten at 12 Mile Roaiii Southfield 356-2525 Daily 10-6 Thurs. 10-8 Tehiya faction. The petition cites several reasons for boycotting the Games in Moscow — the Soviet inter- vention in Afghanistan; the treatment of Andrei Sakharov; and foremost, the treatment of Soviet Jews seeking to emigrate. In New York, the critical problems of the plight of Soviet Jews, the U.S. re- sponse to these problems, the present state of East- West relations, anti- Semitism in the USSR, im- plications of recent emigra- tion trends, the 1980 Presidential campaign and the Olympics are among the subjects to be covered by the National Conference on Soviet Jewry at a national leadership policy confer- ence April 13-15 at the In- ternational Inn in Wash- ington, D.C. Donald Lefton of Miami is conference chairman. Co-chairmen are Joel Sprayregen of Chicago and Nan Wood of the National Council of Jewish Women (New York). A highlight of the confer- ence will be an awards dinner at which Mrs. Rosalynn Carter, who has been nominated to receive the NCSJ Solidarity Award "for her support to the Con- gressional Wives for Soviet Jewry, an NCSJ affiliate, and for her expressed con- cern on behalf of POC Ida Nudel," will be honored. Ms. Nudel is serving a four-year term in exile in Siberia. Among the speakers scheduled to address the conference are Lev Ulanovsky, a former He- brew teacher and physicist from Moscow who arrived in Israel last October, and Eduard Kuznetsov, one of five prisoners who were ex- changed by Moscow and Washington for two Soviet spies last April. In addition to the scheduled sessions and workshops, attendees will have the opportunity to par- ticipate in the vigil for Soviet Jews, held daily in front of the So iet Embassy since 1970. Ability involves respon- sibility; power, to its last particle, is duty. Newsweek foreign corre- spondent Arnaud deBor- chgrave spoke to the Eco- nomic Club of Detroit on Tuesday at Cobo Hall. He stated in his address that Isreal cannot turn over the West Bank to the Pales- tine Liberation Organiza- tion because the PLO is influenced by the KGB — the Soviet secret police. He told Alvin Kushner, Jewish Community Council executive director, follow- ing his speech, "I am finally and thoroughly convinced that the KGB controls the PLO." De Borchgrave, who has been unsympathetic to Is- rael, stated in his speech that George Habash, leader of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, is a terrorist. DeBorchgrave talked Al Change Brings Protest El NEW YORK — El Al, Is- rael's national airline, re- cently decided to change its turquoise-colored, first- class stewardess uniforms in favor of a new style. The woman's division of Histadrut registered a pro- test after hearing rumors that the new outfits were to be slinky, tight-fitting dres- ses. After El Al published some of the designs under consideration, which were along the lines of modestly cut, formal gowns, the Palestinian Society for Preservation of the Family charged that the designs were stolen from Palesti- nian folk art. Despite the protests, the airline intends to go ahead with the changes. Yearbook Report Details Action Against Nazis NEW YORK — Increased neo-Nazi activities in the United States in recent years have been met by a Jewish communal response involving mass action, widespread educational ef- forts, and increased rejec- tion by Jews of the ab- solutist concept of free speech for Nazis espoused by the American Civil Liberties Union, according to a report in the 1980 American Jewish. Year- book. This change by the Jewish community from a previous history of attempt- ing to counter Nazi activi- ties through the quarantine approach — ignoring most Nazi incidents in the hope that the Nazis, bereft of publicity and media atten- tion, would disappear — is detailed in the report, titled "Jews, Nazis and Civil Liberties." More than 4,000 Jews left the Soviet Union every month in 1979. Allied Jewish Campaign funds helped them settle in Israel and elsewhere in the West. Florida Group Installation Set about peace in the Middle East, saying that peace between Israel and Egypt would have come in spite of the Camp David ac- cords, but that the key to peace was solution of the Palestinian problem on the West Bank. He said that King Hus- sein of Jordan was the key to this problem and the U.S. missed an opportunity to solve it by not pushing for a solution before the Arab summit in 1974 tied Hus- sein's hands on the West Bank.
