WASHINGTON — U.S.
Secretary of State Alexan-
der Haig told a Congres-
sional committee on Wed-
nesday that the U.S. is
studying American partici-
pation in a Sinai peace-
keeping force. During the
1979 Camp David meetings,
the U.S. guaranteed that an
international peace-
keeping force would be es-
tablished when the Israelis
pull back from the Sinai
completely next year.
Haig said an attempt to
organize a UN Sinai
peace-keeping force "fell on
the spear of a Soviet veto"
and the United States now

"I can assure you that I
doubt seriously Israel
would ever withdraw
from the Sinai without a
peacekeeping force with
which they can take some
security comfort," Haig
said.
"It may indeed require
some American participa-
tion in that peacekeeping
force," he said, adding that
it too early to say if a U.S.
presence will be required
and noted that "we have a
year to work it out."
MDA Rescue
in Herzliya
TEL AVIV -- When two
Arab construction workers
were found unconscious
after breathing poisonous
fumes all night long from a
makeshift heater they had
set up in a public shelter, an
MDA (Magen David Adorn)
paramedic team from the
Herzliya MDA station was
called in and successfully
resuscitated the workers.

Manv readers of this column
responded Id toy appeal nearly a year
ago for letters to Soviet authorities in
behalf of this brave young man.
Many of you sent me copies of those
letters to President Breshnev and
Ambassador Dobrynin. I am sure
that when you sat down to write, you
did so with a haunting feeling that it
might be nothing more than a futile
gesture. I am sure that many others
considered writing and then decided
against it because it seemed so foolish
to think such a gesture might possibly
penetrate the Soviet penal system.
I assure you those thoughts were in
my mind when I had the opportunity
last summer to visit Russia and make
a - personal appeal in behalf of
Mendelevitch and others to the
Ministry of Justice in Moscow. Since
returning home many have asked,
"Do you think it did any good?" I
could only answer, "I don't know:
All we can do is try.''
Now, at last, Iosif is free and in
Israel. Did our efforts have any . in-
fluence oh this belated decision of the
Soviet authorities to grant his
release? No one can say. There were
many fortes of pressure i.td t)ral

OSCAR BRAUN'S
Equally strong, was the
condemnation of anti-
Semitism in the Soviet
Union by Novak's deputy,
Richard Shifter, the U.S.
alternate delegate, when he
explained why his country
abstained from voting on a
resolution condemning
Nazism, apartheid and all
forms of racism. He charged
that the resolution was a
Soviet-inspired "political
ploy" that did not take suffi-
cient notice of the re-
"Friends are needed when
alone, not when everyone
approves," he continued. "I
was in Israel only once, in
1975. (Mayor) Teddy Kollek
was my host. I was engaged
on a study on the future of
Jerusalem. My two
youngest sons were with me
and we spent six wonderful
days. I was impressed by the
quality of the Israeli in-
stitutions, amazed to see so
much greenery, such a de-
veloped agriculture, so
agricultural competition
from Spain, especially in
citrus fruit.
The EEC says Israel is
being treated equally with
the rest of the Mediterra-
nean countries.
The EEC announced,
however, that it. will open
an 'office in Jerusalem in
addition to one planned for
Tel Aviv. The EEC coun-
tries have flatly refused Is-
rael's demand for a
Jerusalem office since 1978.
