"We cannot wait for ter- rorists to attack us and hope to eliminate this scourge of our times with preventive measures, good prepara- tions, good intelligence and defensive action alone," Arens said at the closing session of the three-day Conference on Interna- tional Terrorism sponsored by the Jerusalem-based Jonathan Institute. "We must recognize that we are in a state of war," Arens stressed. "An unde- clared war, yet a real brutal unceasing war against Western society. To force ourselves in to a defensive posture, to exclude the op- tion of taking the offensive, is as suicidal in the case of terrorism, as it would be in any form of warfare." The Israeli official seemed to be agreeing with U.S. Secretary of State George Shultz, who told the conference's opening ses- sion that "it is time to think long, hard and seriously about more active means of defense — about defense through appropriate pre- Buy Direct from the Manufacturer For Additional Information luso Writ* or Cot Guffrey Products 6346 Orchard Lake Rd., Suite 205 W.

Differing opinions were voiced at the conference on how to form an organiza- tional umbrella to strike against terrorism. Yitzhak Rabin, former Israeli Pre- mier whose Cabinet authorized the rescue mis- sion to Entebbe in 1976, stated there is "an urgent need" for a new voluntary international organization of governments "that accept the principle of fighting ter- rorism." Such an organiza- tion would be headed by a U.S. Ambassador to the UN, Jeane Kirkpatrick, took exception to Wein- berger's view and said she did not view the UN Gen- eral Assembly as the organ- ization to deal with terrorist matters because a great many UN members support groups such as the PLO and the Southwest Africa peoples' organization which she called "terrorist groups." Other speakers at the conference included Sen. Daniel Patrick Moynihan (D-NY) and Binyamin Netanyahu, father of Jonathan Netanyahu, the Israeli soldier who lost his life leading the successful Entebbe rescue, for whom the Jonathan Institute is named.

On the other hand, U.S. Defense Secretary Caspar Weinberger suggested in his speech that the United Nations "might well be called upon" as the body to deal with terrorism, rather than creating a new inter- national organization for this purpose. .13 • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • George Shultz: wants preemptive measures ventive or preemptive ac- tions against terrorist groups before they strike." Shultz did not spell out what he meant by preven- tive or preemptive action. Arens made several suggestions to the audience of some 500 diplomats, legislators, scholars, jurists and journalists. He said hat the "cloak of legitimacy " around Palestine Libera- tion Organization offices in many countries must be removed and their status as diplomatic missions re- moved. He accused the gov- ernments of Libya, Syria, Iraq, South Yemen, and Iran of using their foreign legations to support ter- rorism while enjoying dip- lomatic immunity. "The nations of the free world should jointly warn Ben Kerner and Arnold "Red" Auerbach, two of the country's leading Jewish sports administrators, have decided to retire this year. Kerner, who for many years owned the St. Louis Hawks basketball team in the NBA, and sold the,quin- tet to an Atlanta interest, is about ready to throw in the sponge in his latest venture, namely, indoor soccer. The past three years he has headed up the St. Louis Steamers in the Major In- door Soccer League (MISL). Kerner was called in to show his promotional ta- lents to the people who were running the St. Louis team without too much luck at the gate, although the team itself was a contender. At the time he answered the MISL call, Kerner indicated that he would only hang around for a few years since he wanted to retire com- pletely from the sports world by the time he reached the age of 70. Mar- ried late in life, Bennie has two young children and wants to spend more time with them and with his wife, Jeannie. By applying his promo- tional skills with a willing group of people, the St. Louis team did very well at the gate during Kerner's tenure at. the head of the organization and he feels the time is right for him to step aside for younger man- agement. A friend and close associ- ate of Kerner's, albeit they had scraps and at one time exchanged punches for a fleet moment in St. Louis, Arnold "Red" Auerbach, president and general man- ager of the Boston Celtics basketball team likewise will call it a day. Arnold has indicated that he might con- tinue to operate the ad- ministration of the Celtics from his home in Washing- ton. He's reached the point in life where the constant travel between the two cities was getting a little too wearing for his nerves. Al- though he led the Celtics to several National Basket- ball Association (NBA) Championships, including this year's, as a coach and as an administrator, Auerbach never did move his family to the Hub.
