Jerusalem (JTA) — The parents
of missing Israeli servicemen
have urged a visiting Red Cross
official to continue efforts to un-
cover the fate of their sons.
The request came when the
president of the International
Red Cross, Cornelio Somoruga,
met in Tel Aviv with the families
of Israeli servicemen missing
from the war in Lebanon, which
began in 1982.
Yona Baumel, the father of Is-
raeli MIA Zacharia Baumel, said
after the meeting that he told Mr.
Somoruga that he had gotten in-
formation confirming that his son
is alive. Yona Baumel added that
he asked the visiting official to
concentrate his efforts on the new
information.
Mr. Somoruga said the meet-
ing with the parents of Israeli
MIAs was useful.
"We were able to make small
progress with some information
we got, particularly from the par-
ents," he said.
Mr. Somoruga also met with
the family of missing Israeli air-
man Ron Arad, whose plane was
shot down in 1986 over Lebanon
and who was believed to have
subsequently been held in cap-
tivity in Iran.
German Chancellor Helmut
Kohl, who was visited the Mid-
dle East, said Germany had no
new information on the fate of
Mr. Arad.
He said that at Israel's request,
Germany had attempted to ob-
tain information about Mr. Arad
from Iran, but that no new leads
were obtained.
Internet Users
Eliminate Pauses
Jerusalem (JTA) — An Israeli
company has developed software
that allows users to have the
equivalent of telephone conver-
sations over the Internet.
The company, Vocaltec, said
the new version of its Internet
phone eliminates the need for
each party to wait until the oth-
er has stopped talking before re-
sponding.
The new software will elimi-
nate pauses similar to those in
conversations over citizens band
radios.
Company President Elon
Ganor said Vocaltec is trying to
get the product out on the mar-
ket.
Mr. Ganor said NETCOM On-
line Communications Inc., a U.S.
Internet service provider, will dis-
tribute the new Internet phone, '\
valued at $69, free of charge to its
110,000 subscribers.
