Enthusiastic responses to the call to action in behalf of the current Allied Jewish Campaign mark the inaugura-
tion of the 1980 Allied Jewish Campaign, scheduled for the dinner meeting at Adat Shalom Synagogue on Wednesday
evening.
Adding interest to the appearance at the meeting of former Israel Foreign Minister Moshe Dayan is the first
anniversary of the signing of the Egyptian-Israeli peace accord at the White House on March 26, 1979.
Campaign General Chairmen David Handleman and Irving R. Seligman noted that reservations have been
pouring in for the dinner, which is likely to be the best-attended opening meeting in the 54-year history of the
Campaign.
Also on the opening meeting agenda are a welcome by Jewish Welfare Federation President George M. Zeltzer,
progress reports by the chairmen of the nine Campaign divisions and an announcement of Campaign totals to date.
Rabbi Efry G. Spectre of Adat Shalom will deliver the invocation.
For reservations, call the Jewish Welfare Federation, 965-3939.

Next Week for Wallenberg
NEW YORK (JTA) — Simultaneous demonstrations will be held
on the East and West Coasts to marshal public opinion in support of
Raoul Wallenberg, the Swedish diplomat who saved 20,000-50,000
Hungarian Jews from death during World War H and who is believed to
have been imprisoned in the Soviet Union for the last 35 years.
Avron Brog, chairman of the New York regional board of the
Anti-Defamation League of Bnai Brith, announced that the demon-
stration sponsored by the ADL's New
York regional office and the United
States Free Wallenberg Committee,
will begin at the ADL national head-
quarters followed by a candlelight proc-
ession to the nearby Isaiah Wall across
from the United Nations.
During the demonstration, an at-
tempt will be made to telephone Yuri
Andropov, head of the KGB, the Soviet
Union's secret police, and appeals will
be written by authors Elie Wiesel and
Isaac Bashevis Singer.
In San Francisco, a candlelight ce-
remony will be held at the same time

WASHINGTON (JTA) — The White House announced Wednesday that President Carter
will meet separately with President Anwar Sadat of Egypt and Premier Menahem Begin of
Israel in Washington next month but the "exact dates are undecided."
Presidential Press Secretary Jody Powell, who made the announcement, said, "The purpose
is to review the progress and pace of the autonomy negotiations for the West Bank and Gaza. The
negotiations are being conducted in accordance with the provisions of the Camp David accords."
It was later learned that President Carter is also planning to meet with King Hussein of Jordan.
His acceptance is questionable, but Begin and Sadat accepted.
A short time later, at a second briefing, Powell announced that Special Ambas-
sador Sol Linowitz, President Carter's envoy to the autonomy talks, was going to Egypt
and Israel this week to meet with the leaders of those countries and will then go to
Alexandria to attend the plenary session of the autonomy negotiations next week. The
last plenary session was held in the Hague on Feb. 28-29.
Powell said, "The purpose of his trip will be to pursue the negotiations and, of course, to that
purpose has now been added the preparations for the meetings" of President Carter with Sadat
and Begin in April.
Asked whether the President is averse to a summit meeting of all three leaders and why
they will be meeting separately, Powell replied, "The reason for these meetings is that all of the
parties to the Camp David accords felt that the time was appropriate, given the importance of
the issues under negotiation and the May 26 goal, and for the architects of the Camp David
accords to discuss the progress made to
date and explore means to move forward.

format I described," Powell said.

`Effi-Ashraf Duet Show' Hails Peace; Unresolved Issues Remain
By PHILIP SLOMOVITZ
"Effi and Ashraf" have formed a team. They share the American platform. They
--peak for peace in the Middle East and they aim to generate confidence in the historic
Asks of their two nations. Yet, the end result is not solvent. There remain the differences.
Some are drastic and irreconcilable. All, however, await the result of negotiations.
"Effi" is Israel's ambassador to the U.S., Ephraim Evron. Ashraf is Egypt's ambas-
"-,ador to the U.S., Ashraf Ghorbal. They came to the Economic Club of Detroit on Monday
as a team, representing their respective governments, speaking
authoritatively on the developing situation in the Middle East
and the quest for peace which has to be reached over a thorny
road. The good will was in evidence at the Economic Club
luncheon meeting at Cobo Hall in which some 900 participated.
So were the thorns.
Ambassador Ghorbal, witty, eloquent, sociably congenial,
defined the joint appearance of diplomats of two countries which
were at war only six years ago as a "duet show for Effi and
Ashraf." Effi is the affectionate term for Ephraim in Israel.
"Duet" meant unity in one respect: that of confidence
expressed by both that the peace effort will not be aban-
doned, that the aim for amity is sincerely rooted in the
slogan emphasized by Ambassador Evron: "No more
war."
EPHRAIM EVRON
In fact, Ambassador Gorbal made a very important state-
ment at the press conference that preceded the addresses at the luncheon. Asked what
does he anticipate in the event of President Sadat's "retirement," and how does he
envision the future reactions to the Egyptian move for peace in the Arab world, the
Egyptian ambassador was emphatic: "The course is irreversible," he declared. He said
the desire for peace is not that of one man or one party but of the entire people of Egypt.
Therefore the policy is firm. He expressed a confident hope that the irreversible trend
also will be one leading to an eventual acceptance of the peace by all nations in the area.
Differing views, in spite of the emphasis both men gave in
their expression of faith that peace will not be undermined at
the May 26 deadline on negotiations regarding the status of the
so-called West Bank, the Judea and Samaria in the language of
Ambassador Evron, entered into the discussion. Evron main-
tained that Israelis have a right to settle in the Judea-Samaria
district, in the interest of the aspired neighborliness that must
be established between Arabs and Jews. Ghorbal held to the
views promulgated by the Arab negotiators, opposing any
Jewish settlement, demanding that the existing ones be aban-
doned.
More serious was the dispute over Jerusalem On this score
Ghorbal leaned on what he termed American policy linking
7t4.411 East Jerusalem with Jerusalem in the "occupied territory"
category. He insisted th-at when Arthur Goldberg was U.S.
