C 41417 11 20 Friday, April 11, 1980 THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS El Al Chairman Cuts Costs Capital Games: World's Nonrecognition Looks for Government Help of Jerusalem Is a Slur Against Israel HERSCH'S LAWN SPRAY Lawn Spray Liquid Fertilizer Weed Control 557-8888 z Licensed & Certified by State of Michigan WASHINGTON — Av- raham Shavit, the new chairman of El Al Israel .ra/dIrty 4e7rte2/tied, Capture Every Living Moment As It Happens VIDEO TAPE YOUR WEDDING and other Special Occasions CALL VISUAL SPECIALTIES • FOR FURTHER INFORMATION 476-4764 Airlines believes that gov- ernments must find a mid- dle ground between a "super monopoly" and the "chaos" of total deregulation in order to restore health to his airline and other carriers deeply affected by the air- line deregulation trend. El Al, which lost $40 mil- lion for the fiscal year end- ing March 31, averted a shutdown -last December when employees signed a labor agreement containing no-strike clauses and cal- ling for a reduction of staff and privileges in order to combat financial problems, according to Shavit. In other cost-cutting moves, the number of flight attendants on each plane has been reduced, pilots have taken pay-cuts and sales offices in the United States are being replaced with sales personnel who will work out of their homes in conjunction with travel agents. The airline will also begin an all-out effort to regain its share of the market which has dropped from 52 percent to 48 percent of all traffic in and out of Israel. New twice-a-week charter flights from New York to Tel Aviv and possibly from L.A. to Tel Aviv are being planned to help the ailing air. carrier. Jewish National Fund Council Invites you and your Mends to on EVENING IN HONOR of THE FIRST ANNIVERSARY of the , - • • EGYPTIAN-ISRAELI PEACE- TREATY By DAVID SCHWARTZ (Copyright 1980, JTA, Inc.) Everybody knows that Washington, D.C., is the capital of the United States. But which city is the capital of Israel? Most people know but not the United States govern- ment. It is in Jerusalem that the government of Is- rael has its headquarters; there you will find the Is- raeli president and premier and also the Knesset and the various Cabinet de- partments, but as we have said, the United States gov- ernment doesn't seem to know it. The U.S. Embassy to Israel is located in Tel Aviv. It can only be ignor- ance that causes America to make this mistake or is it something else? President Carter recently went to great pains to dis- avow the anti-Israel refer- ence to Jerusalem in the March 1 United Nations Se- curity Council resolution, but isn't the refusal of the United States to accept Jerusalem as the capital the same thing? . Bible Requires Counting Days By RABBI SAMUEL FOX (Copyright 1980, JTA, Inc.) The days and weeks be- tween the Passover and Shavuot are ceremoniously counted every evening. It is a requirement laid down by the Bible. Some claim this is to es- tablish the indispensible tie between the two holi- days. Passover emphasizes the aspect of freedom, as gained from Jewish slavery in Egypt. Shavuot em- phasizes the aspect of reve- lation which establishes our religious commitment. There can be no religious commitment unless one is free to accept it. Also, free- dom is meaningless unless one has some commitment without which his freedom would be that of the beast. Lookstein Chair Goes to Son NEW YORK — Dr. Has- kel Lookstein, was named Joseph H. Lookstein Profes- sor of Homiletics at Rabbi Isaac Elchanan Theological Seminary, an affiliate of Yeshiva University. Dr. Lookstein will hold the chair named in memory of his father, one of the in- stitution's earliest graduates who, as a stu- dent, alumnus, teacher, and trustee was associated with the university for some 60 years. MONDAY, APRIL 14, 1980 8:00 p.m. ZIONIST CULTURAL CENTER 18451 West 10 Mile Southfield, Michigan GUEST SPEAKER President of Wayne State University, Dr. Thomas Bonner is a nation- ally known historian and educator. He is the author and editor of 8 books and 50 articles on history and education. In March 1979, Dr. Bonner was invited by President Carter to attend the signing of the Camp David Accords in Washington. Since his appointment as President of Wayne State in August 1978, Dr. Bonner has established exchange agreements with the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and Egypt's American University. Killing Deplored REFRESHMENTS R(N I( Avf M( IH LEISRAf NEW YORK — Nathan Perlmutter, national direc- tor of the Anti-Defamation League, has called the mur- der of Archbishop Oscar Arnulfo Romero in El Sal- vador "another symptom of the epidemic of political ter- ror and violence which is destroying the fabric of or- ganized society in many areas of the world." Mayor Tedd Kollek of Jerusalem recently called upon President Carter to rectify this mat- ter and move the U.S. embassy to Jerusalem. When Israel in 1948 won its independence, some of the so-called great powers warned Israel against es- tablishing Jerusalem as its - capital. Ben-Gurion replied that he was sorry — he would like very much to please them but, he said, King David long ago made Juersalem the capital city of Israel and who was he to go against King David? Camp David, where Sec- retary of State Cyrus Vance no doubt has often conferred with President Carter, is named after him, so he must be of some importance. King David was a great military leader_, also a great states- man and poet. He wrote many poems which are still popular today. Ben-Gurion we think was right in decid-, ing that what was good enough for King David is good enough for him. The refusal of the United States to accept Jerusalem as Israel's capital city, as evidenced by its refusal to move its embassy there is we think wholly unjustified. It is a slap in the face of Israel and indeed of American Jewry as well. Can it be that oil is the cause of the trouble? It used to be that things had to be all right. Now it seems they must be "oil right."
