THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS Friday, July 3, 1981 12 Caricatures 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. Market Viewing Facilities Available Technion Honors Canadian Donor for your party By SAM FIELD Call 399-1320 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."

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.

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."
