Israel Officially Charges Syria With Murder of Israel! POWs • United Nations (JTA)-:lsrael has officially charged Syria with the "crimes of murder and "mutilation committed on the persons of Israeli prisoners of war, officers and men of the Israel Defense Force who were taken prisoner by the Syrians in the region of the Golan Heights." The complaint was submitted by Israeli Ambassador. Yosef Tekoah to Secretary General
Oa Workers Oppose Embargo WMUl«t«l (JTA)-The OU, Chemifil and Atomic Workers Union, an API^CIO affiUate with a|)pro]umate!y 175.000 •nembcrs tn the United States and Canada, has urged the U.S. government "not to yield to the blackmail of oil producing Midtfe Elast nations." The text of the resolution s^d that "American foreign affairs should be carried out on tlie basis of high princip!es and IM>t influenced by fear of immediate inconvenience or even hardship which might be caused by disruption in the world •aovement of petroleum." EJveti from the standpoint of narrow •elf-interest of the United States, the resolution said, "any concession" to the Arab states on the basis of the ArabIsraeli conflict "would be on'y « down payment leading to further demands."
Kurt Waldheim and the International Committiee of the Red Crt)8s In Geneva. According to the Israeli envoy, "After the Syrian forces that had penetrated the region of the Golan Heights had been driven back, Israel Defense Forces discovered proof that 28 Israeli soldiers, who had been taken prisoner by the Syrians, had been murdered In cold Wood after their capture by the soldiers of the Syrian Army." The IsraeU diplomat provided the particulars of the localities and of llie number of murdered IsraeU POWs found in ihem: the bodies of 11 Israeli soldiers were found at the Hushneyah crossroads; 7 bodies were found at Husimeyah village; 3 bodiea were found at Tel Faris; and at least 7 Israeli POWs were murdered by the Syrians at the Israel Defense Forces strong-point on Mount Hermon. "In light of the condition in which tite bodies were found, it is dear that U>e Israeli soldiers were murdered systematically and in cold blood after they had been taken prisoner," Tekoah stated in his report. "They were blindfolded, their hands were bound, ind in certain cases their legs also." The Israeli envoy added: "So as not to cause additional anguish to the families of the murdered men, tlie Government of Urael has refrained until now from bringing these
dreadful facts, in all their tragic detail, to tlie knowledge of the general public. Since, however, the story has been widely reported in the preSs, tjie Government of Israel regards it as its bounden duty to bring the shocking findings which have come to light to the knowledge of the international Committee of the Red Cross. The Government of Syria bears unequivocal responsibility for tliese methodical crimes. "The Government of Israel calls upon the International Committee of the Red Cross to Uke, at once, the necessary steps to condemn the barbaric and disgusting crimes that have been described, and to ensure that proper and full protection be extended to Israeli prisoners of war." Tekoah stated. "It demands that every means be taken immediately to guarantee the health, welfare and honor o( the Israeli prisoners of war held captive in Syria."

r BELATED BOUQUETS ^ E«Utor't Nate: The following I- letter was received this week from Carl Alpert, our corresr pondent in Israel who contributes a regulkr column to Th* \ Jewish Press. i Some years ago, I think, the I Jewish community of Boston conducted a Jewish self-survey. ? It operated m a very large ; budget, and the results hardly seemed worth the expense. What you presented in your t_ Rosh Hashona issue (just ar• rived) is FAR superior. If there are any thinking Jews in Omai ha, they now have ample mat«-ial for thought and discus» sion for months to come. Congratulations. J Cari Alpert I Haifa, Israel r
"-WE DO CARE ^BOUT PEACE!" The yejir 1948 marked the be{ ginning of Israeli independence. That same year I was bora to a Jewish family in Tehran, the capitol of Iran. In 1956, the Sinai war broke at which time I realized that the Arabs were not fighting against individual Israelis, but against the whole Jewish nation. I realized that I beleaged t« tte Jewish nation, and tkat my life and my future was not independent of the state of Israel. In the summer of 1987. I was the witness to another Moody war. Israelis claimed victory, but no family was happy about the supposed victory. Israel was hurt economically and emotionally and the victrfry could not i be used to cover their injuries. These wass were not finished. : A new war started, "The Guer[ ilia War." This time the war was at home . . . letters with bombs inside them, bombs at bus stations, stores, supermarkets, schools and universities caused death and injuries to Many peo0e. Later this war was caj^ried :, out of the Israeli boundaries. This year on October ft anE. ©ther historic^ disaster oc|~"ejirred. It is slgfificant that it f began on the Jewish holy day I of Yom Kippur and during the f-. libMlem holy month Ramadan. (Fasting is a part of both of f Uiese holy observances.) I was at TUeret Israel Synagogue in Lincoln when my friend told me about tlie war. I couldn't believe it. In tta* afternoon when I listened to the radio I couldn't stop my tears. I wonder if the8e_young boys are fighting for their nation or for the benefit of some politicians of a stronger country. Are these soldiers guarding their nation or being used "as tools for testing other countries' new war equipment? It seems to me that the battles are the laboratories of super powers. QQ has been used as a very effective tool against Israel. Any country which supports Israel will not get oil, although Arab supporters will be aUa to enjoy the super supply of There an at least 14 large Arab countries wUefa are not densely populated.

purchases, while the percent of uneducated people in. these countries remains very high. They contend that the main reasons for these wars are refugees and the land captured by Israeiies. I believe if tbey really care so much about their brothers," they could accept them into their lands and try to edacate them, since they have the ability to do so; and need not wait for their supposed enemy to solve tUs problem. Surely the land problem could most effectively he solved by negotiatioB and not with Mood. It is fortunate that American people do realize the Mideast problems. But, it seems to rae that the majority of Americans, especially the young generation are very passive. Many of my American friends did not know about the recent American forces aleri and its reasons. I strongly believe that any person who cares about humanity and peace must support the peace negotiaUoas now going on between Aral^ and Israelis. Let us write to tbie leaders of the involved parties and encourage them toward the peace negotiation. Let's prove to them by our letters that we do care about peace and justice. Isaac Yemtevian Lincoln. Nebr. HRUSKA'S VIEWS In regard to th^ situation in Israel, I have had correspondence with Senator Roman Hruska, a personal friend, and I think you may be interested in what action he took and where he stands on tlie IsraeliArab conflict Senator Hhiska writes: "First, as to Senate Resolution 189. be informed I am a c«-sponsor of same. That resolution is pending in the Armed Services Committee of the Senate. So is the bill which seeks to authorize additional arms shipments to Israel. "For some 2S years the United SUtes has shown its support for Israel and its survival. There will not*be an abandonment now. "Steps taken which are much in order included: the military alert and the forceful direct message of the President to Soviet high officials; also Secretary of State Kissinger's personal conference with Israel's and Egypt's highest authorities. It has been said that the lesson o*f the Middle East crisis u the necessity of great power coop-
eration through the United Na> tions to put a quick and equitable end to the Arab-Israel conflict. That cooperation was made possible between the United SUtes and Russia only because of detente with the Soviets that was so laboriously but successfully achieved through the efforts of President Nixon and Secretary Kissbiger in recent years. VAll should now direct their efforts in tlte coming talks so that they will be fruitful; so that they will eventually bring about workable and acceptable agreements and solutions." J. J. Friedman LIVING HISTORY Once again eVents in the Middle East have erupted with force and violence. We of the American Jewish Historical Society are making an urgent request of individuals and organizations to save and preserve all written and printed materials relating to the role of American Jewry in the current crisis. We urge that this be done so that the originaL source materials from which the history of this period will be written may be available to future historians. We partlculariy wish to preserve items which would help tell and ex^ain the outpouring of aid now taking place. We are fearful that ephemeral material will not be saved, and we urge you to collect and send to us items like the following: 1. Leaflets 2. Brochures 3. Handbills 4. Form Letters and Form Telegrams 5. Press Releases 6. Photographs 7. Posters and Signs 8. Bullethu r In addition, we urge you to save diaries, memos, correspondence, telegrams and the like in your own records and archives. Letters to and from Israel are of vast Importance also, and should be preserved. Wo would be honored to serve as a depository of such mar terlal, If you so wish. We are establishing a special collection of this material and will appreciate any items you can forward to our Library at 2 Tboniton Road, Waltham, Mass. 02154.

Oil and Anti-Semitism By BORIS SMOLAR The energy crisis has put national Jewish organizations on the alert. Groups engaged in the field of combatting antiSemitism in this country fear possible anti-Semitic and antiIsrael "fallouts" from discussions of energy problems, especially if gasoline shortages become more acute in the ensuing months and if Americans find their heating'oU in short supply. The allegation by eeftain American eiil companies that the shortage of fuel is dae to the fact that the U.S. gevenment is supporting Israel Is BOW considered by many Americans as a deliberate dlstortloB of the facts. By now a vast majority el Americans know that the energy proUem Is dne to moMp^y practkes by M companies, their faQore to build new reflnerles and the faUare of our government to overcome the eppesltton of the "e»viroBmenlallsts" to develop new oil resources. President Nixon told a conventi»n of editors last we«k that years before the rulers, of the oil-producAg Arab countries had threatened to cut their supply of oil to the United States, he warned Congress of an anticipated fuel shortage in this country and made his remedial recommendations which were not acted upon. Nevertheless, oil companies and pro*Arab elements in this country are proceeding with their campaign to impress Americans that the fuel shortage is due to the support given by the U.S. to Israel. Over and above this issue, anti-Semitic and anti-Israel ele-
The Moment of Truth
By CAAL ALPERT Haifa—Even Egypt's release of its Israeli prisoners has filled to bring any great joy to Israel. There is no elation, no exaltation, none of the feelings that swept the nation following the Six-Day War. The evergrowing mood is that if peace is hideed in the offing, it wUl be attained at a cost which will undermine our security and Inevitobly lead to another, and an even bloodier war. -Israelis are net wflHac te pay that price. If pressBrts are broegU to bear freas eatslde, eeBipdliBg Israel le «ecef« tbe Uad ef terms that are jLt^tal Bsaally dletaled by a vieterf"^^ ,«BS Mitiea le Ita grevdHag M^ ahjedly de'U$Mk tmemj, tbe faWie here will rlae ap agalBst GeUa MeIr anA the dewlBBBt |«Mr P.utr M4 sweep iBtoi efllee « fvr nare «•• treaUst geverwneat. i •'
Israelis have a long memory for history. They have lived through much of it. One of them, in a letter to the editor of Haaretz, gives voice to a sentiment which many are repeating these days: "Chamberlain sold the Czechs to the Nazis at Munich; Kissinger sold the South Vietnamese to tlie Communists, and now he's trying to sell us to the Arabs and the Soviet Union." Peace is very dear to the Israelis. Many of our men have been killed, and many more maimed for life, seeking it. But to yield and withdraw and back into an undefensible little ghetto will not bring peace. It will be an act of delayed suicide. We have no iOtisions as to what the Arabs are really seeking. The woiM paid a great price for Chamberlala's "peace hi s«r thae," b«t It appeara the wmM kaa Mt learaed tnm Ustery.

ments in this country are beginning to project as a major thesis the notion that American Jewish "self-interest" groups working on behalf of Israel do so to the detriment of American interest*. Thte "divided loyaHy" faMlnnatioa may, It Is feared, appear with faKreaslBg frequency la the months ahead when a scapegoat will be sought as the strain of the oil crisis will grow, nobility reduced and physical discomfort lacreased. Jewish alertness Is therefore necessary. Peteatlal Arab Menace The blackmail practiced now by the rulers of Arab oil countries is giving food for thought to thinking Americans. They are beginning to see the Arab feudal oU-ri(h sheikhs as a potential menace to the entire civilized world. It is no secret that King Faisal of Saudi Arabia has a personal Income of mwe than $1,000,000 a day as his share in oil profits. He does not spend any of this money for the wel* fare of his people but keeps accumulating it in banks in the United SUtes, SwitzerUnd and England. Within a decade he will have so much money — and nothing to do with it — that he wiU be aUe to buy ODntrolling interesU In leading European and Amer« lean enterprises. This is also the case with other sheildis in the smaller oil-producing countries. They will thus be able to impose their will on any country in which they will hold power on industrial life by remote control, or they will create there economic chaos and unemidoyment, since the loss of money doesnoCmean anything to them, being replenished each day by oil income. For thinking Americans, the oil crisis is now no longer an issue involving Israel. It U more than that It is the beginning of an organized serious challenge of a few Arab rulers to the United States and to aU civilized ilemocratlc countries.

An Open Letter to All Omaha Women The Women's Division campaign it in full swing. The Grand Giver, Advanced Gift, and Lifesaver divisions will complete their pledge cards December 9 while the Provider and Protector divisions will finish thetr^ pledge cards December 14. Now, to the woman who will be making her individual commitment this week and next. We, In the Women's Dlvisioi\ have done much to free our people, give homes to the liiiiiWlriiiii and hope to the hopeless. We take great pride in our accomplishmentsi However, we should take a moment to realize what we have done for ourselves through our involvement! There is much talk of Women's Ub. The $40 million dollars given to U.J A. last year by the entire United States Women's Division did not come from the woman who said her husband "gave at the office" and followed it by a "token" commitment of her own-satisfied that she had done her 'bit.' A little contemplation can only make us more devoted to the cause of Jewish survival and help each of us to find a way to help the Women's Division of Omaha meet its 1974 goal of 2Vi times last year's goal? We hope you will bear in mind that each woman's CARING SHARE must be at least 2>,4 times her last year'j commitment in order io meet the 1974 goal. You knowthere U only u»—the Holacaust of the Third Reich must not be repeated—Israel must live—we must Keep the Promise—if we are to affirm our own existence as women, as Jews, as individuals. Soon a Telethon Group will begin calling hundreds of women In the community. Please greet them cordinally and with the promise for a pledge of at least 2^4 times what you gave before.

We say this over and again, but we seldom act Jn that spirit," Rabbi Brooks laid. "So why not try an authentic change In form of worship, one which is perfectly within the spirit of the tradition and certainly possible in Reform Judaism?" According to Rabbi Broolts, two concurrent services will be held at Temple Israel oa December 14. One will be the regular prayerbook service, the other wOl be a Service of Study. Frplslnlng the Service—ot— Study, Rabbi Brooks said, "we will have abln-eviated elements of the basic prayers, a Kiddush. the Torah lesson and tha Kaddish. The rest of the time we will study together. There will be a guided lesson front the rabbi, with a chance for all to participate, by asking questions and talking together on a theme appropriate to the Sabbath and to real Jewish learning. In short, we will join our spirits and our minds," he said.

Following a very short business meeting, we had the pleasure of having Miriam Shrier giv» us a book review on the hilarious novel. "Sadie Shapiro's Knitting Book."- \fjf
Robert Kimmel Smith. Dont know which was more comical, the book or Miriam. But together, it made for a very enjoyable forty minutes. New'meml>ers at this week's gathering were Morris Abrams. Mickey Krupinsky. Dave Weiss and Joe Lazar. Welcome gentlemen. It was a pleasure to have Samuel Swartz back with us after a seige in the hospital. It should be mentioned that our group'was formed just one year ago with an initial attendance of 18 men. Today we are happy to report that we have 115 members. 0«r next meeUag will be held Weda«aday, Dec. 12 at Beth HI SyaagagM ia the Social hall.

New York (ZINS)-A recent Harris poll indicates that an everwhelming 79 per cent of the American people supports the U.S.-Soviet sponsored UN Mideast cease-fire. Only 4 per cent expressed oppoaitioji to it. An impressive 60 to 14 majority object to sending U.S. troops to the Middle East, even If Israel were Uaeatened by Russian armed forces. The contention that the U.S. should yield to Arab poUUcal pressure is rejected by the American people. By a pcefereoce of 50 to 26 per cent, the public disagrees with the statement that "we need Arab oil for our gasoline shortage here at home, so we had better find ways to get along with the Arabs, even though it means supporting Israel less." While large numbers of Americans express views sympalhetics to the Israel side, 67 per cent agree '.''hat we should not become over;Committed to Israel, or we 'coud find ourselves involved in another Vietnam, and that would be wrong."'

ADL Pamphlet on Oil Distributed Locolly compIlsfSng V: S; •elf-siiffi»^ ciency in energy: According to Howard Weinstein. Regional Director of ADL. "it is imperative that the United States not back down or submit to Arab oil blackmail aimed at forcing reversal of American support for Israel. If Israel suffers lack of aid from the United States, because of the boycott there are still no guarantees that Arab blackmail would cease and oil would flow once agaiif to the United States. We would be absolutely foolish to operate on that promise."

Soviet Parents Ask Aid^ Is"***©' Assails Japan's or Jewish Activist Son 1*'*o-Arab Position inniUa acUvist MiKhail Matlie at-;e«r-old engineer has be«a rep<»at«dly denied perto exit on the vague o( "security." In July 1972 Mikhail, his laEli, nwtber Tanya and 19year-old brother Pavel applied to leave for Israel. After three harsh refusals and an article In the local newspaper accusing them of being traitors t« the Motherland, all except Mikhail were finally permitted to emigrate in January-1973. But the campaign against Mikhail grew barsiier. His parents wrote SSSJ: "At Mikhail's factory, the KGB staged a general meeting to condenin our •on. As a result of this 'public campaign' be was deprived of his army officer rank. When we were given permission to leave for Israel, a visa department official assured us tlfiat Mikhail would soon join us. These assurances proved to be a fraud. Mikhail is still forcibly detained in Russia and his situation is ifetting menacing. We are very worried that Mikhail might be marked as the Vinnitsa KG^'s next victim, particulai-ly since he renounced his Soviet citizenabip and has bpen granted Israeli citizenship." At the beginning of November, Mikhail's parents' fears seemed to be coming true. Mikhail was summoned to the secret police and warned to stop Ms "Zionist propaganda" or be imprisoned. The threat is very real, MikhaU's friends point out. Earlier this year, his acquaintance Isaac Skolnik, a simple worker, was sentenced to seven years after he applied to go (o Israel.

Jerusalem (JTA)—The Foreign Ministry sharply assailed Japan for the pro-Arab stance it adopted last week and urged the Tokyo government to reconsider and revise "the new principles it has now formulated fo2 its Middle Eastern poljcy.*" An offlclal statement, charg^kjng Japan with knowingly adopting the "distorted" Arab interpretation ml Resolution 242 in surrender to Arab economic threats and pressure, was released here at the same time a similar note was handed to the Japanese Foreign Minister in Tokyo by the Israeli Ambassador, Eytan Ronn. The Foreign Mini*stry statement expresaed deep regret at the JaMikhaU Mager panese move. "We had not anha'l Mager at: USSR, Ukranian ticiptrted Japan responding to SSR, VinniUa, Karmeluka 37, threats for that can only invite apt. 6; and to Mlkliail's parents further threats," it said.

l/.S. Aviation Journal Blames Russia for Mideast, Oil Crises NEW YORK tJTA)-An Israeli diplomatic source aaid here that according to information in the hands of Israelis, Egyptian ground-to-ground missiles capable of carrying nuclear warheads, do not yet carry such warheads. Recently, the American magazine. Aviation Week, reported tJie existence of such missiles in Egypt. Referring to the energy crisis and the Soviet n>le In the Middle East, the source indicated that Russia is behind t(i'e Arab move to use the oil as a political weapon. According to the source this implicates the Soviets in an attempt to try to control the oil resources in the Middle East as part of its global politics. The source added that the
role of the Soviet Union in the recent war was not at all "in the spirit of detente." Pointing out the Russian's advice to the Algerian President Houari Boumedienne Uutt the Arabs, if reaching tiie 1967 lines with Israel should go on, the source said this shows how "moderate" is the role of the Soviet Union in the Middle Ea^t and what plans it has regarding {he survival of Israel. The source also said that the Arabs were prepared for a prolonged war in the hope that Israel would find itself without sufficient-arms. Had. not the United States come to the help of Israel, the source said, the war would have been much more cesUy (or Israel, especially in terms of human life.
the Japanese statement contended—that Israel must withdraw from all of the occupied areas, or from any of them, in the absence of prior negotiation and agreement on secure and recognized boundaries. Nor did it demand "recognition of the legitimate rights of llie Palestinian people" as the Japanese had "liie rights of the Palestinian people as biterpreted by many Arab governments and organizations means the elimihation of Israel," the atatemenr said. The formal note to the Japanese government said: "It is distressing to find a power like Japan yielding to Ibe pressure of our (Arab) enemies and to their threats against the' industry and economy of Japan and the sovereignty of free nations presuming to dictate changes in their policy toward Israel. It is hoped that the govemmant of Jap«ut will reconsider the new principlea which it has now formulated for its Middle Eastern policy and will see its way to revise them in the interests of a lasting peace."
