Begin is scheduled to meet with Carter in Washington next Tuesday and Wednesday. In a meeting with Begin last week, Dulzin stressed while the new U.S. law was "a positive and humanitarian bill," the premier should explain to Carter that - Soviet emigrants cannot be con- sidered political refugees since they all have exit visas to Israel. Dulzin told the JTA that al- though the law does not imply any specific benefits to Soviet Union to mean that new bill may be mistaken by Jews coming out of the Uoviet Union to mean that they will receive increased benefits and thus encourage the already very high drop- $; ::41 out rate. • LEON DULZIN Dulzin said he wanted to em- phasize that Jews leaving the USSR are not political refugees because they left it legally and are already citizens of Israel under the Law of Return. He said the dropout rate is endangering Soviet Jewish emigration. He noted . that recently Soviet authorities have been refusing visas for Jews whose relatives left the USSR with visas for Israel but then settled in the United States. "Every dropout prevents aliya of another Jew," Dulzin said. In an open letter to Haaretz, Dulzin again stressed the U.S. bill (Continued on Page 5) •: JERUSALEM (JTA) — Premier Menahem Begin drew a direct line Tuesday between the Misgav Am attack and the Palestinian autonomy talks. Accepting the Stephen Wise Award from an American Jewish Congress leadership mission, Begin _referred to Monday's events in Misgav Am as "a sad Pesach day." "Evil men who are bent on the destruction of Israel came to carry out a barbaric crime . . . It is only a warning to us as far as our future security is concerned. We knew it all the time. Perhaps now some others will understand it better." Begin spoke of fresh prospects for the future, apparently indicating his attitude to next "week's talks with President Carter. "Now we are negotiating the second part of the Camp David agreement. We want them to be prosperous, and they can be so, if everybody is truthful to that part of the Camp David agreement, as we have been to the first concerning the treaty of peace between us and Egypt." Carter sent Begin .a message of condolences following the terror attack in Misgav Am. Cart wrote that he was deeply shocked by the Misgav Am tragedy. Our thoughts are with you and with the bereaved families," he wrote. The message was delivered to Begin by U.S. Ambassador Samuel Lewis. Following that, the two men discussed recent political developments. Carter's complete message stated: "I am shocked and deeply saddened by the tragedy at Misgav Am. Please accept my heart-felt condolences, and those of all my fellow-Americans. Our thoughts are with you and the friends and families of the victims of the brutal act. Sincerely — Jimmy Carter." The U.S. State Department branded the incident-as a "senseless act of terrorism perpetrated by Palestinian terrorists."

Milliken has declared April 13-19 as "Days of Remembrance of the Victims of the Holocaust." His executive declaration stated: Persons of compassion and humanism throughout the world cannot forget the unprecedented atrocities committed against Jewish people during World War II. The annihilation of six million Jews and other innocent people was an incomprehensible and painful loss to all of humanity. The concentration and extermination camps at Auschwitz, Treblinka, Majdanek, Buchenwald and Dachau remain as grim reminders that prejudice, bigotry, oppression and hatred against any peoples is destructive and contrary to human morality. The epic Warsaw Ghetto Uprising and the courage and devotion of all righteous people who did not hesitate to risk and sacrifice their lives to preserve the dignity and lives of others are stirring reminders of the brilliant and soul-stirring drama of human greatness. Therefore, I, William G. Milliken, governor of the state of Michigan, urge all citizens to join with Shaarit Haplaytah -2 vivo rs of the Nazi Holocaust—the Jewish Community Council of Metropolitan Detroit and the Greater Detroit Round able of the National Conference of Christians and Jews in paying homage to the martyrs and heroes of the Nazi genocide, in order that we might remember the tragic lessons of these crimes against humanity. The annual Memorial Academy, jointly sponsored by Shaarit Haplaytah, the Detroit Round Table and the Jewish Council, will be held 12:30 p.m. Sunday at Cong. Bnai David. It is one of the highlights of a day-long series of ents at area synagogues and churches that will commemorate the victims of the Holocaust. Sunday marks Yom Hashoa — Holocaust Remembrance Day — and the beginning of a week of remembrance proclaimed by President Carter and the U.S. Congress at the suggestion of the President's Commission on the Holocaust. The Memorial Academy at Bnai David will include a candlelighting ceremony by survivors, led by Mrs. Leon Popowski. There will be memorial renditions sung by Cantors Louis Klein of Cong. Bnai Moshe and Chaim Najman of Cong. Shaarey Zedek, accompanied by Dr. Sholom Kalib. Brief remarks will be delivered by Leon Halpern, president of Shaarit Haplaytah; Marian Shiffman, president of the JCCouncil; Charles Benham of the Round Table; Henry Dorfman of the Holocaust Memorial Center; and Martin Water of Shaarit Haplaytah.
