Gemayel Calls for Lebanon Advisory Vote
Jewish Student's Pledge
By HERZL B. SHUR
PARIS
(JTA) —
President Amin Gemayel of
Lebanon on Monday called
. for the United Nations to
conduct a referendum in the
areas now occupied by sy-
rian and Israeli troops to de-
termine the attitude of the
inhabitants there toward
the presence of the troops.
Gemayel said he was cer-
tain that such a referendum
would show that the inhabi-
tants of the areas would
support the Lebanese gov-
ernment in its call for the
departure of all foreign
forces.
Gemayel, who arrived in
Paris from Washington
.where he met with
President Reagan and other
top Administration officials
last week, told a press con-
ference at the Elysee that a
Is
it asking too much
for Jewish students everywhere
to make this pledge. . . .
I must take some time out
To learn what Jewish history is all about.
And if I get to appreciate it well,
My birthright, I shall never sell.

referendum is needed "to
make the nation's voice
heard." He said that "in the
occupied area, liberty and
democracy are suppressed
and the nation's voice is
gagged."
He said the Lebanese
army is ready to assume its
responsibilities throughout
the country. The army,
Gemayel said, will enter the
Shouf Mountains region,
where Druze and Christian
Phalangists have been
fighting for the last few
weeks, as soon as the Is-
raelai forces leave that
area.
Gemayel met with
President Francois Mit-
terand. They reportedly
discussed the possibility
of having France partici-
pate in a peace-keeping
mission in the Shouf
Mountains.
Mitterrand,
French
sources reported, said the
2,000 French paratroopers
now serving with the mul-
tinational force could be re-
deployed to the Shouf area
only after the local warring
factions — the Druze and
the Christians — agree to
support the central
Lebanese government's re-
quest for the presence of
French troops.
The sources also said that
before the Mitterrand gov-
ernment commits itself to
such a move, it would seek
the support of the other
three countries participat-
ing in the multinational
force: the United States,
Italy and Britain.
Hand-Picked Audience Cheers
Lebanon's President Gemayel
In spite of an announced
boycott by nine Arab organ-
izations in the Detroit area
and his two-hours-late arri-
val, President Amin
Gemayel of Lebanon was
greeted by a hand-picked,
cheering audience on Sun-
day for his speech in De-
troit's Masonic Temple Au-
ditorium.
Gemayel blamed Leba-
non's current problems on
its occupation by Syrian and
Israeli soldiers. He said,
"Laughter and song will re-
turn to our native land"
when foreign troops have
left Lebanon.
He told the audience of
2,000 that there was no rea-
son for Lebanon to be reborn
or rebuilt because "your
Lebanon has never been de-
stroyed."
Gemayel gave a similar
speech on Saturday in
Houston.
Ghassan
Tueni,
Gemayel's national polit-
ical adviser and pub-
lisher of the An Nahar
newspaper, told report-
ers that meetings this
week between U.S. lead-
ers and Israel's Foreign
Minister Yitzhak Shamir
and Defense Minister
Moshe Arens were "cru-
cial" for Lebanon.
Tueni said the U.S. made
"the expected statements"
last week after Israel an-
nounced its plans for a rede-
ployment in Lebanon, an
action the Lebanese fear
will lead to a permanent di-
vision of Lebanon into Sy-
rian and Israeli spheres.
While there were no
demonstrations at the
heavily-guarded Masonic
Temple, a small group of
Arabs gathered miles away
at the suburban Dearborn
City Hall to stage a protest
rally.
Rabbinical Group Orders JDL
to End Seige of NY Herut Office
NEW YORK (JTA) —
Rabbi Dov Fisch, executive
director of Herut USA, has
confirmed that he had ob-
tained a restraining order
from a rabbinical group
which forced eight members
of the Jewish Defnese
League to end their
takeover of the Herut office
in Manhattan.
Rabbi Fisch said the JDL
members entered the Herut
office on July 14, ordered
the Herut employes to leave
and announced a takeover.
A JDL spokesman said the
JDL had taken over the
office to bring about the re-
lease from jail of Israel
Fuchs, 19, a member of
Rabbi Meir Kahane's Kach
Party in Israel. Kahane was
a founder of the JDL in the
U.S.
Rabbi Fisch told the
Jewish Telegraphic Agency
that Fuchs, who had been
arrested four months ago on
charges of having fired a
gun at an Arab car near
Hebron, was sentenced on
July 12 to 39 months in
prison. Rabbi Fisch said he
had not been in the Herut
office when the takeover oc-
curred. Called to the Herut
office, the rabbi said, he told
the JDL members that he
would not call the police but
that he would also not
negotiate with the JDL dur-
ing the takeover.
Instead, Rabbi Fisch
called the Rabbinical
Council of America,
largest of the Orthodox
rabbinical groups, but
was informed that its Bet
Din (rabbinical court)
could not act quickly to
give Rabbi Fisch a "Ktav
Ikul," a restraining order
which he wanted to serve
on the JDL members
holding his office.
Rabbi Fisch, who also
serves as rabbi for a small
Havurah on weekends, said
he then reached the Rabbin-
ical Alliance, another Or-
thodox agency, and spoke to
Rabbi Herschel Kurzrock,
who is director of the agen-
cy's Beth Din.
After some discussion,
Rabbi Kurzrock arranged
for a temporary restraining
order, to be in effect pending
a hearing of the Bet Din, set
for July 17. Rabbi Fisch
then went to his office and
handed the document to
Fern Rosenblatt, the JDL's
new national director, one
of the JDL members holding
the Herut office, who was a
leader of the takeover
group.
Rabbi Fisch, a former
member of the JDL, said he
was upset that the JDL
members "did not even have
the courtesy to ascertain
that I was unsympathetic"
to the sentencing of Fuchs,
simply taking over his
Herut office. "They im-
mediately decided to in-
timidate me and talk to me
under the gun."
After Ms. Rosenblatt
led the other JDL mem-
bers out of the Herut
office, ending the occu-
pation, she returned
alone to talk to Rabbi
Fisch who agreed to send
a telegram to Israel's At-
torney General, Yitzhak
Zamir describing the
takeover of the Herut
office and asking Zamir
to look into the Fuchs
case.
On July 17, Rabbi Fisch
and several JDL members
met at the Young Israel of
Kensington, where the Bet
Din had been scheduled but,
on being informed by tele-
phone by Rabbi Kurzrock
that the Bet Din would not
meet, Rabbi Fisch and the
JDL leaders reached an in-
formal agreement to let
matters stand, pending the
convening of the Rabbinical
Alliance Bet din.
Prison Blast
Injures 10
TEL AVIV (JTA) — Ten
inmates of the Beersheba
prison were wounded Mon-
day, two of them seriously,
when a hand-made grenade
exploded in a corridor of the
prison's criminal wing. Se-
curity prisoners are held in
another wing and were not
affected by the blast.
Prison authorities attrib-
uted the incident to a set-
tling of old scores in the
overcrowded jail.
There have been several
cases of stabbings with
home-made knives but this
was the first case of the use
of explosives. The grenade
was made of nails, bits of
glass and metal scraps
packed into a tine, with exp-
losives smuggled in from
outside.

of individuals.
