Compensation
For Interned
Americans Ok'd
Jewish activists in the
Capitol expressed satisfaction
with last week's signing of
the bill providing compensa-
tion for Japanese Americans
interned in camps during
World War II.
The bill, which President
Reagan said helps "right a
grave wrong," will provide
$20,000 to every available in-
ternee. About half of the
120,000 Japanese-Americans
confined to camps are still
alive.
A number of Jewish groups
have been prominent in the
battle for Japanese-Ameri-
cans redress, including the
AntiDefamation League of
the B'nai B'rith, the Union of
American Hebrew Congrega-
tions, the American Jewish
Committee and the American
Jewish Congress.
"This is a very important
issue for all people concerned
about justice," said Judy
Golub, the assistant Washing-
ton representative for the
American Jewish Committee.
"We're proud of the role the
Jewish groups played in the
passage of this legislation."
Abie Nathan Reports
On Tlunisian Visit
WOLF BLITZER
) Special to The Jewish News
W
ashington — Israeli
peace activist Abie
Nathan says that of-
ficials in Prime Minister Yitz-
hak Shamir's office were
aware of his recent five-day
visit to Tunisia, where the
PLO still maintains offices.
Although Nathan denied that
he met with PLO Chairman
Yassir Arafat during the visit.
he would not deny that he
met with other ranking PLO
officials in Tunis during what
he called "a peace mission."
' Israel Radio had reported
that Nathan had met with
Arafat for five hours. But,
Nathan insisted, "I did not
meet with him. I would like
to meet with him. But I
didn't."
Nathan, who travels on a
British passport, refused to
discuss the exact details of his
latest peace mission, fearing
that too much publicity would
jeopardize it. He also did not
want to name the people with
whom he met in Tunis.
But he specifically noted
that one important. objective
was to try to win the release
of five captured or missing
Isfacli soldiers in Lebanon.
Before leaving Israel, he said,
senior Israeli military officers
had given him the five names.
"I'm trying to do something
right now that might help,"
he said, carefully selecting
his words. "It's very sensitive
and too important to talk
about right now.'
Informed sourct said that
Nathan urged the PLO to for-
ma ]ly endorse UN Security
Council Resolutions 242 and
338 as well as to accept
Israel's right to exist. He
reportedly also called on the
PLO to support a "cease-fire"
on the West Bank and Gaza
Strip. In exchange, he added,
the PLO and Israel should
open direct negotiations.
Nathan, who was on a trip
to Washington, insisted that
"people in the Prime Minis-
ter's Office" were aware of his
activities. He said he had also
telephoned the Israeli Am-
bassador in Washington,
Moshe Arad.
Asked about the existing
Israeli law barring unauthor-
ized meetings between Israeli
citizens and members of the
PLO, Nathan replied, "I will
go anywhere, do anything,
cross any border, if I feel that
some good will come out of it.
I am not going to sit around
and be quiet. The issues for
everyone concerned are too
important."
During his visit here,
Nathan met with Deputy
Assistant Secretary of State
for Near Eastern Affairs Ned
Walker; the deputy director of
the State Department's Is-
raeli Desk, John Holtzman;
Democratic Congressman
Mel Levine of California,
academics at the Carnegie
Endowment for International
Peace and others.
In 1968, Nathan, a pilot,
spent 40 days in an Israeli
prison after making an
unauthorized "peace flight"
to Egypt. In 1982, he inter-
viewed Arafat in West Beirut
just before the PLO leader
was expelled by surrounding
Israeli troops
