Blum: UN Censure of PLO
Example of Double Standard
or write:
MIDWEST COMMODITY CORP.
The statement by the
Council president, Porfirio
Munoz Ledo of Mexico, con-
demned the June 19 killing
of two Fiji soldiers of the UN
Interim Force in Lebanon
(UNIFIL) by PLO ter-
rorists, but the statement
did not refer to the PLO by
name, but to "armed ele-
ments," a UN euphemism
for the PLO.
Blum recalled, in his
charge, on Friday that most
of the 64 UNIFIL casualties
died directly or indirectly
from PLO actions.
Blum said that this was
still "the first time that
the Security Council has
at all seen fit to pro-
nounce itself when the
PLO has been responsi-
ble for the killings. In that
sense," he remarked, the
statement "is a new de-
parture and a welcome
one."
The victims were among
nine Fijian troops captured
by the PLO in a clash near
Kana village in south
Lebanon after the soldiers
stopped a Palestinian at a
roadblock. They were shot
in the back while trying to
escape.

UNITED NATIONS,
N.Y. (JTA) — Yehuda
Blum, Israel's ambassador
to the United Nations, has
charged that a statement is-
sued here by the Security
Council president, which
indirectly censured the
Palestine Liberation
Organization was "yet an-
other demonstration at the
United Nations of the dou-
ble standard in everything
involving the PLO."

NEVER TO BE FORGOTTEN
une, 1944: Raoul Wallenberg,
age 32, son of a prominent,
Christian Swedish family,
arrived in Budapest,- Hungary as a
representative of the War Refugee
Board. During the following seven
months this heroic young man was
personally responsible fOr keeping at
least 20,000 Jews from being
transported to extermination camps
and saving another 70,000 from
violent death in the ghetto. He con-
fronted and outsmarted Adolph
Eichmann who had been dispatched
to Hungary to speed the "final solu-
tion." He issued thousands of protec-
tive passports which stated that the
bearer was awaiting transfer to
Sweden. He even boarded trains that
were awaiting departure to
Auschwitz, handing out passports
and unloading Jews onto the plat-
form. He organized a raid on a
prison and freed Jews held in
custody. He rented 32 apartment
houses, raised the Swedish flag over
them as safe houses for endangered
Jews. He established a network of
hospitals, nurseries, and soup kit-
chens. All in a brief seven months of
tireless and courageous activity.
j
January, 1945: Russian troops oc-
cupied Budapest and Raoul
Wallenberg was taken into custody
on suspicion of spying fin- America.
Within a week Swedish authorities
were assured by Moscow that
Wallenberg was safe. Subsequent
rumors that he had been murdered
were denied.
1955: After years of refusing to
answer enquiries as to Wallenberg's
whereabouts and condition, and even
denying knowledge of him at any
time, the Soviets announced he had
died of a heart attack in 1947.
From 1955 to the present: Periodic
and continuing reports via the prison
grapevine and from released Soviet
prisoners indicate that Raoul
Wallenberg has been seen in a series
of Russian labor camps, prisons, and
psychiatric hospitals. The evidence is
not conclusive, but is too significant
to dismiss - lightly.
Wallenberg Committees have been
formed in a number of countries,
determined to get factual evidence
from the USSR as to his fate, and to
effect his release if he is still living.
The American Committee, having
worked quietly through diplomatic
channels for the past three years, is
now preparing to launch a national
campaign to make the story of this
heroic man known to all. The U.S.
Congress has before it a resolution to
declare Wallenberg an honorary
citizen of America. The resolution
was prepared and presented by Con-
gressman Tom Lantos of California,
who was himself saved through
Wallenberg's intervention.
The world has the right to know
the truth of his fate. If he is still alive,
even after 36 years of imprisonment,
we demand his release. Regardless,
we honor his name. We are forever
indebted to him for his compassion
and courage.

Elections Halt M.E. Negotiations
JERUSALEM (JTA) —
President Reagan's timeta-
ble for Middle East
peacemaking allows ample
time for Israeli coalition-
making.
According to a source in
the government of
Menahem Begin, the U.S.
President invited Egypt's
President Sadat to meet
him in Washington in
August, and Israel's prime
minister — whomever it
might be — to follow in
early September. Until Sep-
tember, therefore, no sig-
nificant diplomatic move-
ment is expected.
This pre-planned hiatus,
the source added, will effec-
tively freeze any notion that
Britain's Foreign Secretary
Lord Carrington might
have of reviving the Euro-
pean initiative at this time.
Lord Carrington took
over Tuesday as chair-
man of the European
Council of Ministers for
the next six months. He is
one of the most ardent
and energetic advocates
of the initiative, but he
can scarcely attempt to
move ahead with it be-
fore the new government
has been formally estab-
lished in Israel and be-
fore Reagan has met with
the two main Mideast
protagonists.
Similarly, the summer
hiatus will apply to the
long-dormant autonomy
talks.
More Jews Fill Executive
Positions Bell Official Claims
NEW YORK — Although
progress has been made in
_opening America's "execu-
tive suite," some corporate
doors are still closed to
Jews, according to William
Ellinghaus, president of the
American Telephone and
Telegraph Co.
Ellinghous was among
the participants attending a
conference of the New York
Regional Task Force on the
Executive Suite, a joint
project of the American
Jewish Committee and the
Federation Employment
and Guidance Service.
"It is in the best interest
of business to stand up and
be counted among those
working to eliminate reli-
gious discrimination," El-
lenghaus said. "Nothing
works better than the con-
stant reminder that top
management is interested
and concerned. Action is the
bottom line, but commit-
ment is the obvious
motivator."
