THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS Despite War, Israel in Good Economic Shape, Aridor Says NEW YORK (JTA) — Is- rael Finance Minister Yoram Aridor told a gather- ing of prominent Israel Bond leaders that, despite the problems caused by the Lebanese conflict, Israel is in good economic shape and can sustain itself. "Although we have many problems due to the enor- mous cost of the war and the diversion of manpower from industry and other work sectors to the military, Is- rael expects to overcome these obstacles in time," Aridor said. Aridor spoke at a Greater New York leadership luncheon meeting which was held to mobilize Bond monies for Israel's emer- gency development needs. Thirty top Israel Bond lead- ers attended the gathering, which resulted in the sale of more than $3.2 million in Bond subscriptions.

We had to levy taxes of nearly a billion dollars to cover the cost of the war. Some say that this adds to the sacrifices already being borne by our people. But when we in Israel speak about sacrifice we mean the human sacrifice. And we sacrificed more than 330 soldiers in this war. This loss has hurt us more than anything else. "So when I ask you to help us, I am not requesting your aid in helping to pay for the cost of the war. Israel will do that. What I am requesting is that you help us strengthen our economy and take care of other vital needs so that we can con- tinue our normal lives in Is- rael." In response to a question on chances for peace now that the conflict in Lebanon is ending, Aridor said: "There is a new sun rising above the Middle East and, for the first time since Camp David, there is a hope for Peace. But this will depend on a free Lebanon, without any foreign intervention — no PLO, no Syrians and no Israelis. Without the PLO and its Soviet influence, a peace treaty is possible be- tween Israel and Lebanon and perhaps with other Arab states. Orn•••••• If you're not . wearing it, sell it.

Resolution at UN UNITED NATIONS (JTA) — Egypt and France have renewed their efforts to stir interest in their jointly-sponsored plan which calls on Israel and the Palestine Liberation Organization to mutually recognize each other and let the PLO participate in negotiations for the solution of the Palestinian problem. The Egyptian Ambas- sador to the UN, in a letter to Secretary General Javier Perez de Cuellar, asked that the Egyptian-Franco draft resolution be resubmitted for a vote in the Security Council. The joint Egyptian- French draft, which details the new plan by the two countries, was first intro- duced July 28 in the Secu- rity Council but it was held in abeyance because of strong American and Israeli opposition and due to an emergency resolution which was introduced in the Council July 29 demanding an end to Israel's seige of Beirut. The Egyptian envoy on Monday reintroduced the provisions of the new initiative which calls on the Security Council to: "Reaffirm the right of all states in the region to existence and security in accordance with Secu- rity Council Resolutions 242 (1967); Reaffirm the legitimate national rights U.S. Will Honor Habib; Evacuation of PLO Ends WASHINGTON (JTA) — Special Presidential envoy Philip Habib will return to Washington next week to receive the Medal of Free- dom, the nation's highest civilian award, from President Reagan at the White House. Habib, who helped negotiate the removal of the Palestine Liberation Organization terrorists from west Beirut, will also discuss the situation in Lebanon with the President and Secretary of State George Shultz. State Department deputy spokesman Alan Romberg said it was not known whether Habib, who was brought out of retirment by Reagan to deal with the situation in Lebanon, would return to the Middle East. White House deputy spokesman Larry Speakes said Tuesday that Habib would be at the President's "disposal." Meanwhile, Romberg announced that with the departure of nearly 700 PLO terrorists by ship to Tartus, Syria on Wed- nesday, the evacuation of the terrorists, which began Aug. 21, has ended. He said that during this 12-day period, approx- imately 8,300 PLO mem- bers left Beirut. This in- cluded 3,850 who went to Syria, 1,100 to South Yemen, 1,000 to Tunisia, 850 to North Yemen, 600 to Algeria, 500 to the Sudan, 260 to Jordan and 130 to Cross-Border Druze Wedding KIRYAT SHMONA (JNI) — For the first time since 1948, an engagement cere- mony took place between and Israeli Druze soldier and a Druze girl from Leba- non. The soldier met his fian- cee while serving in Opera- tion Peace for Galilee. She will arrive in Israel for the wedding in a few days. The couple will live in Usfiya, Israel.-- The smallest deed is bet- ter than the grandest inten- tion. —Larry Eisenberg Iraq. The PLO terrorists were transported aboard eight Greek and Cypriot mer- chant ships which made a total of 15 trips from Beirut, Romberg said. In addition to the 8,300 listed, the Inter- national Red Cross took ap- proximately 175 sick and wounded terrorists to Cyp- rus and Greece aboard the hospital ship Flora. Some 2,600 members of the Palestine Liberation Army and 3,600 Syrian troops left Beirut for Syria by land. of the Palestinian people, including the right for self-determination with all its implications, on the understanding that to this end the Palestinian people shall be repre- sented in the negotiations and, consequently, the Palestine Liberation Organization shall be associated therein; Call for the mutual and simul- taneous recognition of the parties concerned." Diplomatic sources con- firmed that consultations were underway between members of the Security Council on a possibility of an official Council meeting to vote on the resolution. Egyptian and French offi- cials reportedly met with U.S. diplomats here to dis- cuss the issue this week.
