Israel's United Nations
Ambassador Yehuda Blum
wrote a letter this week to
UN Secretary General Kurt
Waldheim charging that
teh PLO has undertaken a
"ruthless murder campaign
not only against civilians in
Israel but also against Jews
and the Jewish pebple
everywhere."
Approximately 2,000 per-
sons participated in a Vie-
nna rally on Monday to
mourn the two persons kil-
led in the attack, Ulrike
Kohut; 25, and Lotan Fried,
68. Members of the Aust-
rian government attended
the rally.
Several hundred per-
sons demonstrated in
front of the Rue Copernic
Synagogue in Paris,
which was the scene of a
similar attack last Oc-
tober.
In Rome, Vatican Radio
condemned the attack as a
"new wave of anti-
Semitism." Pope John Paul
II sent a personal letter of
condolence to the Vienna
Jewish community.
The Jewish Community
Council of Metropolitan De-
troit, through its president,
Mrs. Marian Shiffman, is-
sued a statement of sym-
pathy for the victims and
urged continued efforts
against all forms of ter-
rorism. A similar statement
was issued by the Greater
Detroit Round Table of the
National Conference of
Christians and Jews.
Palestinians -

JERUSALEM (JTA) — A

ers in the West Bank con-
demned the terror attack at

Ramallah journalist

Begin to Vigorously Oppose
AWACS Sale in Washington
JERUSALEM (JITA) —
Premier Menahem Begin
told his Cabinet Sunday
that he proposed to vigor-
ously oppose the U.S.-
AWACS deal with Saudi
Arabia even though this
would be to directly clash
with the wishes of the Re-
agan Administration.
In a Cabinet discussion
prior to Begin's talks in
Washington with President
-Reagan next week, the
- premier indicated that the
AWACS deal would be a
priority item on his agenda.
(Begin was confined to his
home by doctors this week
owing to a knee ailment.)
On the forthcoming
Washington talks, Israel
Radio quoted the pre-
mier as saying he would
"not be going with a
shopping list" but would
certainly want to discuss
with Reagan • Israel's
needs for military and
economic aid in the years
ahead.
Ministry sources said the
requests will total $2.5 bil-
lion for fiscal 1983, of which
$1.5 billion is for military
aid and $1 billion for eco-
nomic aid. U.S. economic
aid has been fixed at $2.2
billion for each of the years
of 1981 and 1982.
GOP Jewg
Nix AWACS
The committee of
37 leading Jewish
Republicans who in
1980 worked for the
election of Ronald
Reagan as President
issued a statement
Wednesday night
strongly opposing
the sale of the
AWACS jets to Saudi
Arabia.
The national group
includes Paul Bor-
man, Max Fisher and
Ed Levy Jr., the
prominent Detroit
Republicans.
