A founding body of the UJA was the Na- tional Coordinating Commit- tee for Aid to Refugees, NYANA's predecessor. The special campaign will be run by local federations, who will raise money and turn it over to the UJA. Fund- raisers are expected to ask for donations in cash, rather than pledges, in order to make money immediately available for resettlement. Half of the funds raised in the special campaign will be available for domestic needs and half for overseas needs. The overseas portion will include money for the Joint Distribution Committee and the Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society. Both provide services for Soviet emigrants when they arrive at migration facilities in Western Europe, and both are reporting huge deficits. The 50-50 split was insisted upon by the UJA and its ma- jor beneficiary, the Jewish Agency for Israel, as a way of protecting the integrity of the UJA as a fund-raiser for Israel and enhancing Israel as a destination for Soviet Jews. Local federations are not bound to take part in the campaign, but most of the close to 180 federated com- munities in the United States are expected to do so, accor- ding to UJA's Rothstein. Los Angeles, New York and San Francisco have already begun special efforts to raise resettlement money. Israel Attacks Spur U.S. to Question PLO CECI ORMAN JEWELRY • 14 Mile & Farmington Rd. New York (JTA) — The United Jewish Appeal has of- ficially launched a special campaign to raise $75 million to resettle Soviet Jews in the United States and Israel. The campaign, to be called "Passage to Freedom," was formalized at a recent meeting of UJA campaign of- ficers and the heads of agen- cies most severely affected by an enormous influx of immigrants. Specific plans for the cam- paign remain sketchy, but are expected to be worked out among various Jewish fund- raising and service agencies over the next few weeks. The first major events of the campaign could begin as ear- ly as the first week in April, according to Raphael Roths- tein, vice president of UJA. The campaign is a response to the largest Soviet Jewish emigration in 10 years. If emigration levels reached in January and February are maintained through the rest of the year, more than 30,000 Jews could be let out of the Soviet Union in 1989. Local Jewish federations are often responsible for most of the services needed by Jewish immigrants, from English classes to housing to health care. Ordinarily, UJA raises funds primarily for services in Israel and, on a smaller basis, the overseas relief ac- tivities of the American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee. But UJA does have a tradi- tion of helping immigrants. It funds the activities of the New York Association for 36" x 48'• Rectangular Table w/Apron. Leaf extends table to 66." 1 ON $52e , Reg.

Responding to last week's attempt by members of the Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine to in- filtrate northern Israel, State Department spokesman Charles Redman said, "The United States views with con- cern the increasing number of Palestinian attacks in South Lebanon, most recently by the DFLP. "We recognized from the beginning that some groups and factions, particularly those based in Damascus, were opposed to the positive evolution in PLO attitudes toward Israel, and would be trying to undermine the U.S.- PLO dialogue and block movement in the peace pro- cess." "Nonetheless, if the PLO leadership cannot or will not exercise such control, it raises questions regarding the com- mitment undertaken in the name of the PLO — indeed questions about the PLO's -\
