WASHINGTON (JTA) —
President Reagan, while
stressing his commitment
to maintain strong ties be-
tween the U.S. and Israel,
urged American Jews this
week to support the sale of
U.S. arms to Jordan.
"Such assistance to Jor-
dan does not threaten Israel
but enhances the prospects
for Middle East peace by re-
ducing the dangers of the
radical threat" from Syria
and Iran, the President told
the 2,000 persons who
attended the fourth na-
tional United Jewish Ap-
peal Young Leadership
Conference at the Washing-
ton Hilton Hotel.
Reagan discussed a wide
range of issues, including a
re-affirmation of the "long-
standing American corn-
mitment" that the U.S.
"will neither recognize nor
negotiate" with the Pales-
tine Liberation Organiza-
tion until the PLO recog-
nizes Israel's right to exist
and accepts United Nations
Security Council Resolu-
tions 242 and 338.
But he did not mention
his proposed constitutional
amendment for voluntary
prayer in public schools
which he had been urging
before various groups in re-
cent weeks.
Although Reagan was
applauded several times,
the audience was silent as
he expressed the need for
American arms to Jordan as
a means of promoting peace
between Israel and its Arab
neighbors. "Jordan is cru-
cial to the peace process,"
the President stressed.
"For that very reason,
Jordan, like Israel, is con-
fronted by Syria and faces
military threats and ter-
rorist attacks. Since the se-
curity of Jordan is crucial to
the security of the entire
region, it is in America's
strategic interest — and I
believe it is in Israel's
strategic interest — for the
U.S. to help meet Jordan's
legitimate need for defense
against the growing power
of Syria and Iran."
Reagan said that "Arab
governments and the Pales-
tinian Arabs must decide
whether to reach peace with
Israel through direct
negotiations." He said he
believed that if the Arabs do
step forward, "Israel will
once again have the courage
to choose peace."
However, Reagan reiter-

ated his belief that his Sep-
tember 1, 1982 Middle East
peace initiative "remains
the best option for all par-
ties." He said: "It is time for
the Arab world to negotiate
directly with Israel to rec-
ognize Israel's right to exist.
We hope the government of
Israel will understand that
continued settlement ac-
tivity in the West Bank and
Gaza will make the peace
process more difficult.
Peace can only come
through the give-and-take
of direct negotiations."
While Reagan did not
mention his Administra-
tion's opposition to proposed
legislation in Congress to
move the U.S. Embassy in
Israel from Tel Aviv to
Jerusalem, he did say that
the "status of Jerusalem"
was one of the issues to be
negotiated in the peace
talks. "Only the U.S. can
advance this process," he
said.
The President also noted
that Israel's closeness to the
U.S. was demonstrated at
the United Nations where
even the NATO allies vote
with the U.S. only six out of
10 times while Israel joins
the U.S. nine out of 10
times.
Reagan received a stand-
ing ovation when he re-
. peated his pledge, "If Israel
is ever forced to walk out of
the UN, the U.S. and Israel
will walk out together."
He said that the anti-
Zionism expressed at the

RONALD REAGAN

UN "is just another mask
for vicious anti-Semitism,
and that's something the
U.S. will not tolerate." He
declared that "silence is
never an acceptable re-
sponse to anti-Semitism,"
adding that the U.S. Am-
bassador to the UN, Jeane
Kirkpatrick, has "defended
Israel and stood up for
human rights with persis-
tence and courage." Reagan
also rejected anti-Semitism
in the U.S.
The President urged
"support" for "Soviet Jews
in their struggle for basic
rights" and called on "all
Americans to observe the
International Day of Con-
cern for Soviet Jewry" this
Thursday.
Reagan noted the "near
standstill" of the emigra-
tion of Soviet Jews and the
ban against learning He-
brew in the USSR. He speci-

fically mentioned the
plights of Jewish activists
Anatoly Shcharansky, Lev
Furman and Iosif Begun.
The President concluded
his speech by saying, "This
Sunday, as Jews the world
over observe Purim, they'll
celebrate not only the an-
cient deliverance of Jews
from the wicked, but a mod-
em joy as well — the mira-
cle of the state of Israel.
Permit me to join you and
all Jews in your fervent and
triumphant affirmation —

Israel Timber Industry Growing

Jewish National Fund

JERUSALEM — Israel
may soon have a timber in-
dustry based on the newest
lumberjacking technology.
Twenty-nine-year-old
Yoram Kaplan of Kibutz
Lotem hopes to establish a
modern sawmill to boost
production of wood chips
and timber panels from
trees thinned out of Jewish
National Fund forests.
The maintenance of JNF
forests includes regular
pruning of the lower
branches after trees have
stood for five years, and
these offcuts are basic
material for woodchips.
From the 10th year of a for-
est's life, thinning opera-
tions to maintain the proper
spacing of trees provide ex-
cellent raw material for the
panelling Yoram wants to
produce.
Kibutz Lotem cradles a

hilltop some 20 miles
northwest of Tiberias, close
to the development town of
Carmiel. It is one of 14 rural
moshavim and kibutzim in
a region of Galilee known as
the Zalmon Bloc for which
the Jewish National Fund
prepared land infrastruc-
ture and access roads.

Michigan Club.
Meets in Florida •

Lotem — a Hebrew ac-
ronym for lotus flower —
is slated to house 100
families. It is presently
inhabited by 25 families
from a variety of urban
backgrounds in Israel,
who completed a year's
training in kibutz life at
Kibutz Gevat near Haifa
before moving to their
new homes in August
1980.
Having been trained on a
kibutz before coming to the
fledgling settlement, Kap-
lan was initially inclined to
view forestry as rather ex-
citing. Two years of lumber-
jacking experience have
changed that drastically.

Michigan Socialites of
Broward will meet 8 p.m.
Wednesday at the Broward
Federal Bank, 6736 N. Uni-
versity Dr., Tamarac, Fla.
Entertainment and re-
freshments will highlight
the evening. Former Michi-
gan residents in Florida are
invited. For information,
call in Florida, Rose Fox,
722-3215; or Rose Abrams,
721-9214.

"Believe it or not," he
said, "working each day
with the raw material of na-
ture here has refreshed and
deepened my feeling for the
land. Above all, it has let me
see for myself how impor-
tant it is to develop this
Galilee area," he says, ges-
turing toward the distant
hills.
He intends to see that the
future sawmill benefits

from the experience of other
countries. He is planning to
spend a year learning the
finer points from the legen-
dary lumberjacks of
Canada, and he will also
tour Sweden and Finland to
see their forestry systems.'
Kibutz Lotem's future,
like all new Israeli villages
in the Galilee, depends on
the community's ability to
attract at least five new
families each year. This
summer, only three families
joined, although the
number of new arrivals will
grow as more development
funds become available.
