ALLAN President GEMOLOGIST DIAMONTOLOGIST Call to Conscience' Issued at Annual AJC Meeting NEW YORK (JTA) — The American Jewish Con- gress, in a sweeping state- ment of principles and go- als, has issued a "Call to Conscience" that rejects "both the politics of selfish- ness and the politics of de- spair" and urges a "fellow- ship of commitment and ac- tion" for a "world based on justice and the rule of law." The statement, issued at the AJCongress' annual meeting here, welcomed the debate in which "Americans are engaged in a profound rethinking of many long held policies and the very purpose of government." On the domestic scene, the statement affirmed that "government must continue to be an active force for enhancing social justice and human dignity." On that score it decried the growth of "moral vigilantes whose political agenda consists of a dangerous imposition of government control, in the name of religion, over the classrooms, free speech and women's right of choice." In foreign affairs, the AJCongress statement expressed "gratification" Give Your Windows the Works with the Administra- tion's "announced inten- tion to act decisively against terrorism, both domestic and interna- tional," but rejected "the suggestion that somehow the campaign against terrorism must be at the expense of the campaign for human rights." The statement reaffired "our commitment to the survival and prosperity of Israel," and called on the Administration to "oppose the reject" efforts to under- mine the Camp David peace process. Al Friedman of Michigan was a delegate to the meet- . ings. Israeli Cow Sets Record TEL AVIV (JTA) — "Zabda," Kibutz Hefetz Haim's prize cow, has set a new Israel — and probably world — record by increas- ing her record daily milk output of 50 kilos to 62 kilos (136 pounds) of milk on a good day. The Israel Dairy Associa- tion was recently told that Israel holds the world's re- cord for average milk prod- uction per cow with an av- erage of 8,092 kilos of milk each in 1980. Kibutz Hefetz Haim holds the Israeli re- cord, with an average of 9.658 kilos for each of its 315 milch cows. Zabda last year produced 14,000 kilos. The kibutz farmers say their success — and that of their cows — is due to the care they take with the special diet they provide.

Fire Kills 3 TEL AVIV (JTA) — Three people died and four were injured last week in a fire which autted a shoe fac- tory on the fourth floor of workshop building in the center of Haifa.

Firemen said that about 300 people had been in the building on Herzl Street at the time. They were evacuated safely while firemen confined the blaze to the fourth floor. Jerusalem Scene of Clash of Police, Ultra-Orthodox JERUSALEM (JTA) — About 15,000 ultra- Orthodox Jews attacked police on the Ramot Road Saturday afternoon in a continuation of distur- bances that have plagued the area on several success- ive weekends. Saturday's demonstra- tion was led by Rabbi Yit- zhak Weiss, chief rabbi of the Eda Haredit, the um- brella organization of the ultra-Orthodox in the Mea Shearim quarter. While foreign and local television crews filmed the disorders, the demonstrators launched sporadic assaults on the ranks of mounted and foot policemen, chanting "Shab- bes, Shabbes." The police drove them back with water cannons. The demonstrations are to protest vehicular traffic ' on the Sabbath along the Ramot Road where it passes through the religious quar- ter. Disturbances have oc- curred regularly since the road was opened in 1978 linking Jerusalem with the northern suburb of Ramot. In recent weeks how- ever, they have become confrontations between religious zealots and the police rather than with Sabbath violators. Some observers here link the latest Ramot Road dis- turbances to the visit of the Belzer Rebbe, Yisochur Dov Rokeach, to the U.S. where his life was allegedly threatened by members of the rival Satmar Hasidic sect. The Eda Haredit and the Neturei Karta in Jerusalem are closely iden- tified with the Satmar Hasidim. In Nevi, York, the entire block on Second Avenue in midtown Manhattan where the Consulate of Israel ,is lo- cated was a sea of black hats and long black coats last week as some 4,000 ultra- Orthodox Jews, mostly members of the late Satmar thia from Hasidim Williamsburg section Brooklyn, demonstrate!' against the government of Israel and demanded the re- lease of ultra-Othodox Jews arrested during violent in demonstrations Jerusalem the previous weekend. The demonstration was an unroarious denunciation of Israel and Zionism. Many of the Hasidim wore yellow stars on their arms, symbol of ignominy imposed on Jews by the Nazis. Others were dressed in prison uni- forms and hundreds wore sacks over their traditional black garb, the Jewish sym- bol of mourning. About a block away, some 200 ultra-Orthodox women staged a demon- stration of their own, separate from the men according to their tradi- tion. Previously, about 400 Satmar Hasidim milled outside the building de- nouncing Israel as _"Nazi" and protesting a "pogrom" by the Israeli police against their people in Israel. The Hasidim claim that 42 ultra-Orthodox Jews were arrested and are still con- fined in Jerusalem. Thatcher Allows Ministers to Meet Arafat, PLO Chiefs LONDON (JTA) — Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher has publicly given her fellow ministers carte blanche to hold talks with Palestine Liberation Organization chief Yasir Arafat or with other PLO representatives. Mrs. Thatchees state- ment, virtually confirming that a British-PLO meeting is inevitable, will trigger strong protests by the Jewish community. Gre- ville Janner, MP, president of the Board of Deputies of British Jews, has called a meeting of the communal leadership to consider her statement. The Israeli Embassy has commented angrily on the disclosure that Benjamin Strachan, the British Am- bassador to Lebanon, had a 20-minute meeting with Arafat in Beirut last week. The Embassy accused British diplomats of "con- sorting with assassins." Israel is already at loggerheads with Britain over her leadership of the so-called European in- itiative on the Middle East. Despite wide- spread public distrust of the PLO, the most - inf- luential British news- papers, such as The Times, The Guardian and The Financial Times, support the- European call for involving the PLO in Middle East peace negotiations. But they also recognize that Israel's Labor Party seems as strongly opposed to PLO participation as is the present Israeli govern- ment. Meanwhile, the London PLO representative, Nabil Ramlawi, has announce'' that he plans to open a PIA office in Dublin, capital of the Irish Republic. Pro-Arab Group Aims at Blacks WASHINGTON — The Palestine Congress of North America held a policy roundtable on "Domestic Implications of the Mideast Crisis and U.S. Policy" ear- lier this month.
