Addressing thousands in St. Peter's Square who were gathered for a special "day of prayers for peace," the pontiff appealed to Iraq to withdraw from Kuwait in "a gesture of peace that would bring it honor in history." A day earlier, addressing diplomats accredited to the Vatican, including the U.S. and Iraqi ambassadors, the pope said "peace is still possible." But he said it must em- brace a solution of the Pales- tinian question. "For decades, the Palestin- ian people has been sorely tried and unjustly treated," he said. "This is testified to by the hundreds of thousands of refugees dispersed in the re- gion and in other parts of the world, as by the situation of the inhabitants of Jordan and Gaza. "This people asks to be heard, even if it must be rec- ognized that some Palestin- ian groups have chosen to use unacceptable and con- demnable methods to achieve this," the pope said. 00 0 0000 0 0 .11•II ALL UNDER ONE ROOF 20% 661-3838i at the O O Groves High School Auditorium O O Prize Drawing for FREE Round-Trip Ticket — JFK/Tel Aviv/JFK courtesy of El Al Israel Airlines 'to IN THE ORCHARD MALL WEST BLOOMFIELD • O Located at the Northwest Corner of Evergreen and 13 Mile Roads Call Aleynu/Aish HaTorah for tickets — 737-0400 or mail to Aleynu/Aish HaTorah 32712 Franklin Rd.

They also want to make sine that local activities re- lating to the Gulf crisis, such as rallies or demonstrations, are coordinated nationally as tension builds in the Mid- dle East. The Conference of Presi- dents of Major American Jewish Organizations is set- ting up a "crisis response center" to monitor develop- ments in Washington, at the United Nations and in the Middle East itself. "Silence in this case is our enemy," Shoshana Cardin, the new chairman of the con- ference, said at a news brief- ing. "Sleep is not on our agenda." In conjunction with the Council of Jewish Federa- tions and the National Jew- ish Community Relations Advisory Council, the Con- ference of Presidents is es- tablishing a toll-free hotline for federation executives to call for information on the Gulf. This will complement an already set-up phone line for Jewish organizational leaders. The new hotline will be updated twice daily with the latest information on the Gulf crisis and Israel. Phone lines are scheduled to be installed this week, but no phone number is yet available. In addition, the CJF satellite network will be available to link national Jewish leaders in New York and federation leaders around the country with Israel, Marvin Lender, na- tional chairman of the United Jewish Appeal, an- nounced last week. Mr. Lender spoke during a satellite broadcast linking federation leaders from 70 communities across North America with UJA leaders and three Israeli officials: Eliahu Ben-Elissar, chair- man of the Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defense Com- mittee; Jerusalem Mayor Teddy Kollek; and Simcha Dinitz, chairman of the Jew- ish Agency and World Zionist Organization Exec- utives.
