Speaking to nearly 1,700 persons at the 69th an- niversary dinner on behalf of Beth Yehudah Schools at Fairlane Manor, Lichtens- tein said "The UN is not now, never was and never will be a rational forum .. preventing conflict or .fos- tering economic develop- ment or enhancing human rights." Lichtenstein read a quote from William Penn, in which the Pennsylvania founder envisioned a "par- liament of princes" who would work for "the peace of Europe." "That dream will never be fulfilled," Lichten- stein concluded. He proceeded to de- scribe both the U.S. and Soviet Union's positions in the international forum. To preface his remarks, Lichtenstein said the "pro- liferation of nations" from 52 in 1945 to 158 today was a roadblock to achieving the goals originally set forth by the world body. "Most of these nations don't share the values of the American people, the Judeo-Christian tradition," he said. "They create a happy playground for the Soviet Union, with which most are not allied, most fear and most wouldn't want to submit to," but added that they still give the Soviets their support and their votes. He decried what he called the "disgraceful obscenity" of the Zionism equals ra- cism canard of the 1970s and called it "a symbol of the controlling bloc that dominates politics in the UN."

On the topic of why the U.S. should remain in the UN, Lictenstein said "it is our fate to remain in the UN. If we don't remain in the UN to defend freedom . . . I despair that there is any other defender, or coun- try that would so affirm the cause of freedom." Lichtenstein alluded to what he called the "strength of President Reagan" and gave examples that he said he felt boosted Reagan's popularity with the Ameri- can electorate: "Reagan has begun to build a foundation of U.S. foreign policy that meets requirements of our country that wins approval of most of the American electorate"; "He has a willingness to commit U.S. power, to commit force prudently, proportionate to a Jack Shenkman, fourth from right, accepts the Golden Torah Award of Beth Yehudah Schools at their annual dinner Sunday at Fairlane Manor.

Lichtenstein said recent events also have helped to "crystallize" Reagan's ap- proach to foreign policy: the shooting down of the KAL 007 airliner, Lebanon .and the Grenada "rescue mis- sion." He said all of these events had a common thread — the distinction between the Soviets' use of force for "in- timidation" and the U.S. use of force to "preserve freedom." Lichtenstein added that the "free and democratic state of Israel" is a "partner (with the U.S.) in making the distinction. The shared commitment to the cause of freedom, that is the tie that binds the U.S. and Israel." The dinner was the occa- sion to present the Golden Torah Award to Jack Shenkman, whose many gifts to the community and awards for his generosity were recalled during the presentation ceremonies. In celebration of the 43rd an- niversary of his marriage to his wife, Miriam, Shenkman donated a lib- rary to the girls' affiliate, the Sally Allan Alexander Beth Jacob School for Girls. The Ladies of Yeshivath Beth Yehudah were cited for their con- tributions totaling An appeal on behalf of the schools was made by dinner co-chairman David Holtzman, who was joined on the dais by co-chairmen Ivan Bloch, Spencer Par- trich, Mickey Shapiro and I. William Sherr. Rabbi Nor- man Kahn, administrator and executive vice presi- dent of the Beth Yehudah Schools, paid tribute to the supporters of the institu- tions and particularly sing- led out Fanny Laufer, pres- ident of the Ladies of Yeshivath Beth Yehudah. Mordechai Poss sang the anthems, David Silver re- cited Hamotzi and Dr. Joseph Goodstein chanted the Birkat. The dais was completed by Seymour Rabinowitz, chairman of the board of di- rectors; Jack Carmen, vice president; Dov Loketch and Dr. Phillip Friedman, members of the presidium; Rabbi E. B. Freedman, ad- ministrative director; Rabbi Shmuel Kaufman, director of scholarships and endow- ment; Rabbi Leizer Levin, president of the Council of Orthodox Rabbis; Rabbi Leib Bakst, rosh hayeshiva; Rabbi Avrohom Abba Freedman, assistant prin- cipal; and Rabbi Shmuel Strickman, principal. Blot on German-Israel Ties If Bonn Sells Arms to Arabs' JERUSALEM (JTA) — Deputy Foreign Minister Yehuda Ben-Meir warned of a "cloud" that could dar- ken Israeli-German rela- tions: the possibility that Bonn might sell advanced weaponry to Saudi Arabia or other Arab countries. Delivering a keynote speech on the opening day of the annual meeting of the Israel-Germany Friendship Association, Ben-Meir said Israel could not agree with nor acquiesce in such a prospect. Israeli sources forecast intensified dip- lomatic action by Jerusalem in the weeks ahead de- signed to forestall any arms sales. Recently, following Chancellor Helmut Kohl's visit to Saudi Arabia, Ger- man officials sought to dis- tinguish between offensive weapons, such as the Leopard 2 tank, and defen- sive weapons such as anti- tank devices and anti- aircraft systems. But Israel has declared firmly that it recognizes no such distinc- tion. Ben-Meir dwelt on the "special character" of the Bonn-Jerusalem relation- ship, a character molded by the Holocaust experience. Three thousand proverbs are credited to King Sol- omon. —I Kings 5:12
