Ambassador Blum, the
evening's guest speaker,
reminded the audience
that the two-year an-
niversary of the signing
of the Israeli-Egyptian
peace treaty would be
marked on March 26 and
he recalled the events of
the peace process.
Blum said the treaty was
an historic breakthrough in
Israel's relations with the
Arab world and I believe
this treaty has set in motion
an irresistable process.
"We have created an im-
pressive array of new facts
on the ground," he said, and
he listed the exchange of
ambassadors _between Is-
rael and Egypt, airline
flights, tourism and the be-
ginnings of trade, cultural
and agriculture exchanges.
Blum also listed the prob-
lems that have been
encountered in the normali-
zation process. He said Is-
rael believes normalization
is an outgrowth of peace-
making, while Egypt be-
lieves normalization is a
concession, a gesture to Is-
rael.
"Many in Egypt are
reconciled to a pragmatic
peace with Israel, but not
to an ideological peace
with Israel," he said.
He added that Israel has
made all of the material
concessions in the negotiat-
ing process — Sinai oil,
Sinai airbases, Sinai set-
tlements and Sinai land —
and Egypt has cut off the
autonomy negotiations four
times during the last year.
"Yet it is Israel that is
constantly accused of being
intransigent," he said.
Blum said Egypt and the
other Arab countries have
raised numerous obstacles
to peace during the last two
years, including the long-
dormant issue of the status
of Jerusalem.
Mezada Victims Mourned
TEL AVIV (JTA) — Is-
rael mourned the dead in its
worst maritime disaster as
the first group of survivors
returned home to tell of
their harrowing hours in
lifeboats battling gale force
winds and 24-foot seas after
the bulk carrier Mezada
sank in the Atlantic near
Bermuda on March 8.
Of the 35 persons aboard,
24 are known or presumed
dead, among them the mas-

"The elections in the
U.S. were called a reason
to stop negotiating and
then the transition period
between administrations
was blamed. Now theIs-
rael elections are upcom-
ing.
"Egypt has been stal-
ling," Blum said, "while Is-
rael has been adhering to
the letter and the spirit of
Camp David."
He added that Egypt has
been deliberately misinter-
preting the Camp David
agreement for two years
and "has tried to create a
PLO state in everything but
name. Sadat even called for
a PLO government-in-exile

ter of the 19,000 ton ship,
Capt. Gera Levin, _whose
remains were returned to
Israel and buried at Haifa
last week.
One of the saddest ac-
counts of the disaster was
given by Mali Staier, the
only woman aboard the
Mezada who told how her
husband, the ship's wireless
officer, drowned just as re-
scue was at hand.
Mrs. Staler, 26, was one
of eight survivors re-
scued by the Indian
freighter Damodar
Tasaka. They were
landed at Gibraltar last
week and flown to Israel.
The 666-foot Mezada,
bound from Ashdod to Bal-
timore with a cargo of
potash, began taking water
on March 7 after heavy seas
smashed a hatchcover.
Early the following morn-
ing the order was given to
abandon ship.

Europeans to go ahead with
their divisive Middle East
initiative."
Blum, however, was op-
timistic about the future,
but called for increased vigi-
lande and solidarity on the
part. of world Jewry.
Sol Drachler, executive
director of the Jewish
Welfare Federation, an-
nounced that the $15 mil-
lion Campaign opening
figure represented $1.4
million more than in 1980
from the same donors. He
said the Campaign had
14,566 pledges, but had
more than 8,000 others to
be contacted.
Drachler said that De-
troit's three-year total of
additional contributions for
Israel's Project Renewal
was now at $5,528,688.
That figure for Project Re-
newal is second only to New
York City.
Mondry concluded the
meeting by referring to
newspaper reports this
week of increasing anti-
Semitism in Poland and
