NEW YORK (JTA) — The director of the Wash- ington office of the Council of Jewish Federations stressed Wednesday that the CJF, one of four na- tional organizations which each received $1 million dollars from the outgoing Department of Energy (DOE) special counsel, did not seek out the money. The Reagan Administration announced over the weekend that it wanted re- turned any of the funds not yet spent. Mark Talisman also said that the $1 million was made available to the CJF on a contractual basis. He said the contractual agree- ment provided that the funds, slated to help needy families to cope with winter fuel bills, were to be distrib- uted on a non-sectarian basis. Other contractual terms were that the funds would go directly to the most 'needy households and that the entire $1 million dollar would reach needy be- neficiaries, with no de- ductions for administrative expenses. Talisman said that when the allocation of the money by Paul Bloom, the outgoing DOE special counsel, became public last week, leading to re- ports that the new Energy Secretary James Edwards wanted the $4 million returned to the federal government, he met with Eric Fygi, the acting DOE general counsel, "to ascertain the facts." Talisman said that on the assumption that the $1 mil- lion grant to the CJF was valid, he had arranged for a study of areas of below- average temperatures. Talisman said his office took the position that the change in federal adminis- trations did not affect the contract signed by the CJF for distribution of the funds. Bloom said, when the $4 million distribution became known., that he had done nothing wrong in sending the money to the Salvation Army, the National Council of Churches, the National Conference of Catholic Charities and the CJF. Talisman added that he had made a survey of all CJF-affiliated federations, with the goal of setting up a system for prompt distribu- tion of the federal funds to the most needy families, covering about $750,000 of the DOE grant, but that the checks had not been mailed, pending the requested statement from Fygi. Talisman said he as- sumed that the CJF was one of the four beneficiaries of the federal funds because it was known that "we have an effective delivery sys- tem, without red tape and without bureaucracy." : detroit's Original dinner theatre • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • A Comedy directed by Jimmy Launce Performances: Wednesday Matinee Friday & Saturday Group Rates & Performances Available 643-8865 Reservations Lower Level Somerset Mall SPIRO'S Court Rules Israel Has Right ( CONEY ISLAND to Buy E. Jerusalem Utility 25920 GREENFIELD JERUSALEM (JTA) — The Supreme Court ruled this week that the govern- ment has - the right to pur- chase the East Jerusalem Electric Corp., but only that part of the Arab-owned util- ity located within the con- fines of Jerusalem. The ap- peal by the corporation against any change in its status was upheld with re- spect to its operations in the occupied territories. The corporation let it be known that it would chal- lenge that part of the ruling that favored the govern- ment if the latter moved to take over the power plant. The appeal was filed with the high court after the gov- ernment announced a year ago that it planned to exer- cise its right too.purchase under the corporation's original franchise and merge the East Jerusalem utility into the Israel Elec- tric Corp. The franchise was granted during the British mandate in Palestine. The East Jerusalem Electric Corp. serves both Arab and Jewish customers, the latter since the Six-Day War when Jewish settlements began to appear on the West Bank and to prolif- erate in recent years. The court, however, or- dered the entire matter re- turned to the minister of energy for reconsideration and urged that before he makes a final decision he allow representatives of the corporation to present their argument. The court also called on all parties to maintain good will and a moderate approach," indicating that it hoped the government " CO _ R. LINCOLN 9FR-4060 MON.-SAT. 6 a.m. to 9 p.m. would make an effort to re- solve the issue by mutual agreement with the owners. An energy ministry spokesman claimed, how- ever, that the ruling meant that the government can take over the corporation because its generators are in East Jerusalem. In that case, the spokesman said, a body would be set up to handle- power connections for consumers in the occu- pied territory and collect bills.
