(212) 689-7600 Toll Free 800-223-7676 NEW YORK (JTA) — United Nations Secretary General Kurt Waldheim last week rejected a request by three rabbis and two nuns to permit them to stage a hunger strike at the UN on behalf of the Ameri- can hostages in Iran and four Catholic women mur- dered in El Salvador. The request had been made in a telegram to the Secretary General in light of the fact that he granted permission to Mayors Fand Kawasme of Hebron and Mohammed Milhim of Halhoul to hold a hunger strike on UN premises to protest their expulsion by Israeli authorities. One of the rabbis involved said his group rejects Wal- dheim's argument that the mayors' protest was allowed because their case was the subject of three Security Council resolutions. The group vowed to continue their efforts.

Ambassador Israeli Yehuda Blum telephoned Waldheim last week and called the mayors' hunger strike "an unfriendly act toward Israel.” Blum said Waldheim broke a well- established practice by allowing a demonstration inside the UN. Meanwhile, the mayors ended their hunger strike after six days follwing an appeal to them by Wal- Wallenberg Sabbath Set MIAMI — The American Anti-Nazi Association has issued a call to all churches and synagogues to devote part of their services Jan. 17-18 as a tribute to Rauol Wallenberg, the Swedish Christian who risked his life to save thousands of Jews in Budapest during the last months of World War II. Rabbi Rubin R. Dobin ex- plained that the weekend coincides with the 36th an- niversary of Wallenberg's disappearance in Budapest. He was kidnapped and im- prisoned by Soviet troops in 1945. After inquiries were made about his where- abouts, the Russians first denied any knowledge about Wallenberg. They later changed their story and admitted holding him but claimed that he died in prison in 1947. However, there have been many reports from eyewitnesses who claim to have seen Wallenberg many years after that date. On Jan. 15, formal hear- ings will convene in Stoc- kholm, Sweden to hear tes- timony about the fate of Wallenberg. Oil in Israel?

Waldheim told the mayors he would con- tinue efforts to have the Security Council resolu- tions implemented. The mayors said they would continue the hunger strike elsewhere. The U.S. State Depart- ment announced that the mayors' case had been dis- cussed with Israeli prim,e Minister Menahem Begin.
