Police Chief
i- Resigns

Jerusalem (JTA) — Israeli
chief of police Rafi Peled has
resigned after the High
Court of Justice recom-
mended that the attorney
general investigate the pos-
sibility of making Mr. Peled
face a police disciplinary
court.
The court had previously
dismissed a petition brought
by a law student who was in-
censed that Mr. Peled had
not been punished for accep-
ting favors from Israeli
resort hotels.
The court saw nothing
criminal in Mr. Peled's ac-
ceptance of generous reduc-
: tions at the hotels, but it
suggested that the police
chief had not behaved in an
appropriate manner.
The court had also said
that an official rebuke ad-
ministered to Mr. Peled by
Police Minister Moshe
Shahal was insufficient.
The resignation of Mr.
Peled, who was appointed
police chief in February
1993, came as a surprise to
many observers here.
Although many expressed
regrets, President Ezer
Weizman applauded Mr.
Peled's announcement.
Mr. Peled "deserves our
respect as a first-rate officer
and police chief and for what
he has now done in resign-
ing. Good for him," said Mr.
Weizman.

Dutch Donate
To PLO Police

Amsterdam (JTA) — The
Netherlands government
has donated 4 million
guilders, the equivalent of
more than $2 million,
toward the maintenance of
the Palestinian police force
that will serve in the Gaza
Strip and Jericho.
The Netherlands has also
offered to train police in-
structors for the force in
methods of crisis control.
In addition, the Nether-
lands has given more than
$180,000 to assist Palestin-
ian women whose husbands
were killed in the Feb. 25
massacre at the Hebron
mosque.
These donations come in
addition to a promise of $25
million which Holland made
last December to Palestine
Liberation Organization
Chairman Yassir Arafat
toward construction of a
harbor in the Gaza Strip. LI

Have you hugged
a volunteer
today?

Day in and day out, volunteers make a difference. They
bring joy to the lives of the aged, extend a hand to new
immigrants, offer friendship to people with disabilities.
They are the extra eyes, ears and hands so necessary to
our Jewish Federation and community agencies.

Volunteers provide counsel, raise funds, run errands, sit
on committees, lend clerical help, stuff envelopes,
develop programs, • file archival materials, answer
phones, chart plans for the community's future. And
more.

Volunteers are not always recognized. Often, they work
quietly behind the scenes, performing community
service in many ways that are unseen by the public.

Volunteers provide the special ingredient that defines
the unique quality of our Detroit Jewish community.

The Jewish Federation of Metropolitan Detroit would like
to give a hug to all those individuals who devote their
time, talent and heart to our community and our people.

April 17-23, 1994
