Israel, Syria May Sign Accord Soon JERUSALEM, (JTA) Israel and Syria are expected to sign a disengagement accord in Geneva, possibly this week, and Israeli officials have not discounted the possibility, raised by a senior US. official, that final details of the accord might be negotiated in direct IsraeliSyrian talks in Geneva. These developments emerged following a dramatic breaklbrough achieved by U.S. Secretary of Slate Henry A. KUsbiger In kli latest round of shuttle diplomacy between Jerusalem and Damascus ever the weekend. Slate Department spokesman Robert Anderson, a member of Kissinger's entourage, indicated today that Israel and Syria have, In effect, agreed on a disengagement line. Asked by reporters whether both countries had expressed a favorable attitude to the same demarcation line, Anderson replied, "Ves." Israeli information Minister Shimon Peres anticipated the

agreement when he said "I ihinic the line of separation offered by the U .8. is of such a nature thai both sides could accept It." According to unofficial reports, the tentative agreement shapes up as follows: Israel will return to Syria all of the Syrian territory it captured in the Yom Kippur War last October, will Kacuate some Syrian territory captured in the 1967 Six-Day War including land in the Rafid area on the southern Golan Heighta, and the Syrian side of Ml. Hermon which will be turned over to a United Nations force. The deserted town of Kuneitra. capital of the Golan Heights, will be included in the UN buffer zone but Kuneitra will be restored to Syrian . civilian administration. Three strategic, hills overlooking Kuneitra and protecting nearby Israeli settlements will be retained by Israel, sources here stressed. Israel has agreed to return some small villages.

The French and West German governments also issued statements deploring Israel's retaliation raids Thursday and Friday against Lebanon. In Vienna the Socialist International expressed sorrow. Bruno pitlerman. prfsldeni of the organization, •aid that what happened to the children In Maalot can happen tomorrow to other children and their parents. He appealed to all humanists to light against the slaughter of children. In Amsterdam, Pr. Marga Klompe, the chairman of the Dutch branch of the international Roman Catholic organization, "Justitia et Paa," cabled PLO leader Yasser Arafat protesting the lerrorist act. The president of the United Church of Christ and the interreligious affairs director of the National Conference of Christians and Jews spoke out forcefully this week against the massacre at Maalot and castigated fellow Christians and member states of the United Nations for keeping silent or failing to punish terrorists in face of continuing outrages.

MAALOT, (JTA) - torael buried the victims of the Maalot massacre on May 16 aa the entire northern area of the country was placed on alert against further terrorist outrages. The 20 teen-age students slain May 15 iru({ie Netiv Meir school building in Maalot were laid to rest near the graves of other youthful lerrorist victims — the children murdered in a school bus ambush at Avivim three years ago. The three members of the Cohen family murdered in Maalot and a soldier killed in the assault on the terrorist-held school building were buried in separate graves. Collective funeral services, with Israel's chief rabbinate officiationg, were held in Safad, home of most of the victims. More than 10,000 persons converged on the liny mountain hamlet in central galilee. Cries for vengeance and death to terrorists rang out over the anguished weeping and the chanted prayers for the dead. President Ephraim "Katzir and Deputy Premier Ylgal Alton, representing the Israeli government wei-e unable to complete their addresses. Throughout the country.

shocked and stunned citizens piecing together the reports of the tragic events were asking why the school building in Maalot was left , unguarded even though security authorities knew that terrorists had infiltrated Israel and were in the vicinity; why the youngsters were permitted to take their camping trip close to the Lebanese border at a time when terrorists acts were expected in connection with the 26lh anniversary of Israel's independence; and whether the frontal assault on the school building was tt}e right way or the only way to try to save the hostages. I^mier Golda Meir refused to comment when she was asked bluntly on a television interview whether there had been no way to avoid the tragedy at Maalot, Investigation The Cabinet has adopted a resolution to establish a commission to investigate the Maalot incident. Unlike the Agranat Commission, the new inquiry unit will not be a judicial one but will be made up of "public figiires." A similar commission headed by former police Inspector Plnhas

Kopel, was established following the Munich tragedy two years ago. Premier Golda Meir, who suggested creating the new commission, will decide who will serve on it. It will not deal with the military aspects of the tragedy since this will be covered by military authorities.

Golda Wants No Eulogies JERUSALEM (ZINS) - In an emotional and dramatic meeting with the Knesset delegation of her Labor Party, Premier Golda Meir explained that she was resigning from office because of widespread public dissatisfaction with the regime. She told her colleagues of a sealed envelope containing her last will and testament. "I am prepared right now to reveal some of its contents," Golda added, citing these excerpts: "I ask that no eulogies be delivered; that no streets or institutions be named after me, because all this will not help."

15,000 Participate in Demonstration at U.iV NEW YORK, (JTA) - More than IS.OOO people solidly packed Dag Hammarskjold Plaza opposite the United Nations last tweek in a solemn demonstration of mourning for the victims of the May 15 massacre at Maalot. The demonstration began calm and almost silent at first, the anguish and horror written on the faces of the participants rather than expressed in words. But as the day progressed and more thousands poured into the area, en&tions took hold and crowds pushed into the UN grounds, shouting "We will not leave'' to police trying to disperse them. Eight demonstrators who chained themselves to the UN fence were arrested by police. Hundreds of Hebrew school pupils from throughout the New York melropolitjm area were in the throngs.

U.S. Will Provide Haven for Syrian Jews WASHINGTON, (JTA) The United States is offering haven to Syrian Jews if they are able to get out of Syria, it was disclosed last week. The offer is contained in a new letter defining VS. policy on the matter of Syrian Jews which has been drafted by the State Department for circulation to persons inquiring about their plight. "In addition to trying to help Syrian Jews through dipk>matic channels, the U.S. policy is that any Syrian Jew who reaches any one of seven designated countries may enter ttie United States under provisions of the Immigration and Naturalizalon Act as

either refugees or on the basis of family relationships," a State Department spokesman said. "The purpose clearly is to facilitate entry into America for Syrian Jews able to get away from Syria," the spokesman said. Of the seven designated countries, only Lebanon is contiguous to Syria. The others are Austria, Belgium, France, West Germany, Greece and Italy. Once a Syrian Jew reaches one of those countries, he is eligible to apply for conditional entry into the U.S., an official said. He cautioned, however, that the processing of such applicatUms "may take a long tinne."

Mailagrams signed by Morley Zipursky, president of the Jewish Federation of Omaha, were sent to President Richard Nixon; U N SecreUry General Kurt Waldheim; Nebraska Senators Carl Curtis and Roman Hruska; and Congressman John McColUster. Depk>ring the sanaetess murders, the wires asked for continued efforts to halt terrorist acUvities.

A group reptMenting all ages and aajpneiits of the community compiled the following community statement: Does Ike worM kave a coascleace?

The Omaha Jewish Community asks the quastkm because we abhor the continued violation of the moat basic of human rights — the right to live. We believe the people of Israel should have that right.

^/locfamation, We, the Jews of Omaha hereby lisue a call to the leaders of the Soviet Union. Indifference in the past had led to generatioiu of Jew* in different parts of the world who suffered diicrimliution, oppresaion and genocide. Soviet Jews today face a cruel choice; To suffer economic and socUl pressure if,they apply to emigrate, or to forfeit their individual rights to retain their religious and cultural identity. To Soviet Jews we pledge our continued soiktwity, and wc give our promise to remain vigilant. We call upon the government of the USSR to rvdrasa all wrongs by: 1. Releasing the Jewish Prisioners of Conscience who languish in Soviet labor camps, and whose only real crime was their wish to emigrate to Israel. 2. Allowing those Soviet Jews who have been waiting, for many years, to immediately emigrate. 3. Permitting all Soviet Jews who wish to do so to leave for Israel, or any country of their choice, to rejoin family and to live as Jews. 4. Removing vague and arbitrary emigration procedures, by regularizing and standardizing the process, in an open form. 5. Making available the institutions, schools, textbooks and materials necessary to teach the beliefs, the languages, the history, the practices, the culture and Che aspirations of the Jewish people. In the name of humanity and Justice, we voice our hope that the gavemmeat of the U8^^ ra«Md'l^'t|# e^|L',

Israeli Air Force Jets Hit Terrorist Strongholds TEL AVrv, (JTA) - IsraeU Air Force Jets attacked terrorist strongholds In southern Lebanon. Israel's Chief of Staff. Lt. Gen. Mordechai Gur, said the targets included concentrations of El Fatah and Fatah headquarters; headquarters, workshops and training areas of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine; the PFLP-General Command and the Popular Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine. The two latter organizations were

directly responsible for the terrorist massacre at Maalot. Gur told newsmen that the bombing and strafing raids, could be considered retaliation for the Maalot outrage, though he noted that Israeli warplanes had been pounding terrorist targets in southeastern Lebanon before the Maak>t events. Reports from Beirut claimed that Israeli jets bombed and machinegunned Palestinian refugee camps at Tyre and Sidon and severely damaged residential blocks.

Scott calls himself a "moderate" Republican, but his supporters come from both sides of the aisle and from all persuaaiona. A witty and intellectual man, this

greatest deliberative body in the world, it is essential that at all times we recognize the leavening effect of humor and good win and importance of remembering that we exist only through mutual amity, cooperation, and tolerance of dissent."

I Potent Poppy Plants | JERUSALEM, (JTA) - It took almost 40 years for the Jerusalem police to discover that the poppy plants which decorated the cok>rful King David Hotel garden could be uaed to produce opium. But then, when the discovery was finally made, it was with ouUide help — American security officers who escort Secretray of SUte Henry A. Kissinger while residing in that hotel. They were the ones who made the discovery and brought it to the attenUon of the Jerusalem police.

^kim

Police arrested two of the hotel's gardeners, but they were not sure they had anything to do with it. Only after questioning them did the police find that the plants have been growing in the garden for the last 40 years. "It could very well be," said the Jerusalem deputy poUce chief," "that they were just growing there for beauty."

i*t-^lr€»«»p€^€*l The Industrial Removal lOffice was created in l«Ol Iwdcf the auspices of the fjewish Agricultural and |bidu8trial Aid Society. lU > was that of removing JfJewiah refugees from the [(Crowded cities of the eastern f aeaboard and finding homes for them in the interior of the country. Agents were dispatched to find prospective jobs and sponsors for Jewish immigrants, local committees were organized and a specific allowance was granted for each family and individual settled under the auspices of the Industrial Removal Office. The I.R.O. also administered the so-called Galveston Plan, through which an attempt was made to settle immigrants in the interior through the creation of a port of entry in the south. More than S,(IOO immigrants were processed through Galveston by 1912, some of whom eventually settled in Omaha.

The grim events of Maalot are still fresh in our minds, and the frustration and helplesanen experienced by all of us as the news nitered back 10 this country^ still remains. The adjectives used by public people to describe the massacre contain an element of deja vu — as if these descriptions have been used before on other occaaaioos in our history and the brutal realization that they will probably be used again. And yet, even during this lime of mourning while V eacn of o us in his own way each I^HjMuaes to reflect on the past l^ndsp spectilate on the future, r^lhela.1 the tasks confronting us in the future weeks and months must be carried out. The events in Maalot should be used to evince public demands for some remedy. It seems that the responsibility for the Maalot atrocity rests with three groups; (1) Palestinian terrorists; blame for the Maalot massacre as in the case of Kiryat Shmona, lies with all Palestinian terrorists, masqiHirading under the g«iue of "Palestinian titerationists." (2) Arab governments: bUme also lie* with Arab governments Including Lebdaon. Vgypt. .Saudi

The revelation of Torah at Sinai has been acknowledged by Jew and non-Jew alike as having a monumental effect on the thoughts and acts of man. Ilie moral teachings of this code of laws are preserved not only on the scroll of the Torah, but within virtually every attempt to establish a meaningful system of ethics and government, from Justinian's Code to the American Coostitutloo.

and southern United States. Added to this were countless Jews who came In these locations according to the "magnet theory," having been attracted to a particular place by friends and relatives who had arrived previously.

Paasover freed the Jew from slavery In Egypt. It was hi* Declaration of Independence. But to enjoy his new found freedom, the Jew needed laws. He had to learn that with liberty cornea responsibility, and that without laws there is no freedom.

Omaha representative of the I.R.O was the Reverend >•' E^u Fleishman, a native n Uthuania who had lived first in Sioux City and who came to Omaha in IM as a mohel and shochet.

It is (itthig that Jews who introduced these guides of behavior to the entire worid should set aside a holiday to remember the event, to rejoice in it and to pray for the day when all mankind will recognise the tragic waste brought about terrbtism and lawlessness.

Between IWI and 1917 a total of 2,135 Jewish refugees were settled in 23 Nebraska cities and towns by the I.R.O. Fleishman, assisted by a committee, met every train carrying refugees, and found housing for them, often in his own home until other arrangements could be made. For those lacking a trade or skill, jobs were found in the packing houses, smellers, and the Union Pacific Shops. Nearly all of those who came were un«ccustomed to hard manual labor. Many found the Omaha Jewish community loo small and suffered from loneliness and frustration, often wishing to return to New York where they could join their "landsleule."

Responding to Maalot By HOWARD WEIN8TEIN OMAHA CRC DIRECTOR, REGIONAL ADL DIRECTOR

With new and painfd nmindar* of the evils of terrorism anil lawkaaneu, Jews throiigbout ttic world prepare to observe -Ac Featival of Shavuot, comfflemorating the giving of laws to the Jews at Shiai, thousands of years ago.

Arabia, Libya, Iraq and Syria who have encouraged, financed, armed and harbored the terrorists. In this context, it is important to note that the leader of the terrorist gang who carried out the Kiryat Shmona massacre, Ahmed Jibril, was invited to meet with President of Assad of Syria, following the massacre, where he was warmly received and given moral support and encouragement for additional terrorist act*. Finally, responsibility for Maalot must, in the last analysis, also rest with the United Nations, including the Security Council. By adopting belligerent and anti-Israel resolutions and by its vole following the Kiryat Shmona atrocity, it virtually invited the terrorists to strike again. This is a very brief analysis of the situation. I am urging that telegrams and letter should be sent to Presidedt Secretary of State Kissinger, and Ambassador Scali (U.S. Representative lo the United Nations), urging taiaedisle sad ceacrete actiea t«^ preveat Arab governments from collaborating and sponsoring the terrorist gangs.

In Answer to a Letter By RUTH 8EUGMAN I received a letter recently from a reader, not a personal friend. He wanted to faiow if I, as one who had lived here so long, did not feel that we are fighting a losing battle and if, perhaps, it weren't time to throw in the sponge, forget the dream, bury the illusions and give the land to the Arabs. Let them squabble for possession. II was quite a crude letter, yet it bothered me. Non; of the people I know even ihink in these terms. True, there are always people who do leave Israel — disillusioned by a society that doesn't live up to their idealized conception of how Jews should behave to each other, disturbed by the rudeness, frustrated by the inane bureaucracy. Some cannot make a living: others are not ready to change their trade, profession or vocation. Some may just miss mother's apple pie.

those who take the trouble to write deserve a reply. Why do we sty? The SBiwer'is quite simple: for the ssme reatoo why most of us came — because we believe In the reality of a homeland far our people.

I was going to say "head", but Israel i< not the head of the Jewish people: it is iU heart? whose existence gives the pBlse4wat and life to a people scattered the ends:>f the earth.

Inside Judaica By Dr. Frederick Uchmaa \ Executive Editor Eacyclopaedia Jndaica Editor's Bate: 'Inside Judaic^" begins this week »» a regular feature of the Jewish Press. Prepared by the editorial staff of the Encyclopaedia Judaica, the questions and answer column will deal with many subjects of current Jewish interest. Readers are invited to submit Iheir own questions directly lo the Encyctopaedia Judafea at 10« East 40th Street, New York, New York, lOOlt.

Q. is there aa expUnatto* far flyrta's vlnOeat hostUlty lewards IsraelT A. The Encyclopaedia Judaica suggests two basic reasons for it. In the first place, Arab nationalism and its declared aim of destroying Israel became more vehement in Syria when, in 1996, the Pan-Arab Ba'alh Party came to power. As has happened in other countries, the struggle for political power In Syria found expression in the Uiatigation of clashes on the border with Israel. Moreover, the border between Syria and Israel, which la 41 miles kmg, differs from Israd's frontiers with other Arab sUte*. The Syrian forces on the Golan HelghU dominated not only Israeli settlonenta in the Huleh and Jordan Valleys, but also the aource* and streams of the Jordan River leading into Lake Kinereth. Supposedly demiliUrized zones along the major part of the border were continuously the cause for strt^gie* over their status and a constant aource of canfUct. The Syrian army wu Ihe only one of the Arab forces that In I9U succeeded hi holding on to territories originally apportioned lo the Slate of larael by Ihe UN Pariitioo Plan. For Ihese territories, Ralph ffunche, the UN mediator, si«gested a compromise between Israel's demand for Ihe complete withdrawal of Syrian forces and Syria's demand to keep the enth'e .area. This compromise called for demilitarized zones lo be evacuated by the Syrians but with normal civilian life maintained. The military aad peiiUcal struggle between Syria and Isrsei has never liace ceased. Among matters aader dispate have been the right *f Isfadi farmers to cnlUvaic land which, the Syrians cUlmtd. behiaged to them; rbhhig rtghu in Uke Kinereth; deveiopmeat projects, sack ss the drainage of Lake Haleh In iHt and, Uter, the digghig of a canal hi coonecthM with (he plan tor the JordsB-Negev Water Carriff. Syrian efforts to prevent Israel from using the Dan River sources led to serious border incidents in 19M. They were Ibllowed by Syrian water diversion plans which were finally stopped by Israeli attacks In lt«6^. Syria, the Encyclopaedia Judaica poinU out, was the first Arab stale lo support Ihe terrorist acUvitie* of El Fatah, aa far .back.as^. .,. ( , , .

By Rkh Pearl Omaha - Fifty-five of Omaha's single young Jewish adults made Hanna Simerlak's first YAD party effort a success Saturday night when they showed up at the 8 Ltd. (Eight Umited) nightclub for a "party within a party." Rock music by the verytogether "Family Affair" group at the Westroads nightspot kept the dance floor overflowing as YAD members enjoyed the chance to be a group within a group. The idea by 2(»-year-oM Hanna also afforded Young Adult Division members a chance to enjoy a band whose fee would probably prohibit their playing for a private YAD funcUon. Al Sunday's brunch at EUie Yager's apartment, Hanna said she would work on another idea — that of having a "party within a party" on the "BeUe of Brownville" which cruises the Missouri River. Of more immediate concern to YAD members, however, is an overnight campout scheduled the weekend of June 1-2 at Camp Esther K. Newman at Louisville, Neb. For around $3.25 per person, YAD members will be able to enjoy a relaxing weekend in the outdoors at the Jewish Community Center camp. Other upcoming events include a brunch-meeting at

Fern Sperling's apartment June 9; horse rides and evening party the weekend of June IS and the big regional party at the JCC June 29-30. Detaila on all these events will be forthcoming.

Sandy Eisenberg Sasso, from Philadelphia, rtceived her undergraduate and graduate degrees from Temple University; Dennis C. Sasso Pauly, from Panama, has earned degrees from Brandeis and Temple Universities. The couple met and married at the College. After graduation, Sandy wlU be the Rabbi of the Manhattan ReconsUMctionist Havurah, New York, and Dsnnia will serve as Rabbi at the Reconstructioniat , Synagogue of the North Shore, Manhasaet, New Yoric

10th. Mrs. Schrager said ''that recent events in Israel show that the Yom Kippur war never ended. To what limits" of sacrifice must the people of Israel endure in an effort to live in peace?" she ashed. "Our responsibility is obvious," Mrs. Shrager added, "As a memorial to the Ma'alot tragedy we must show our faith in Israel — our faith in the very survival of our people whose continuity sacrifices outweigh our efforts by enormous proporUons." Mrs. Schrager urges Omaha women to fill out the forms included in the invitation and return them immediately.

Dan Bleicher Experiences Unusual "Year in Israel' By Janet Kaplan I Jerusalem: — Baking bread on the midnight shift, guarding a museum, washing floors, delivering food and cooking gas are not typical tasks for an American Reform rabbinic student in Jerusalem. But the Year-inIsrael, sponsored by Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion, has never been typical and this year it has been more demanding and more unusual than ever, Dan. R. Blek:her, son of Dr. and Mrs. Jerome Bleicher, faced the double challenge this year of being useful in a country that was involved in war while maintaining the intensity of his graduate rabbinic studies. Dan arrived in Jerusalem in June, 1973 to participate in the College's "ulpan" program — an intensive Hebrew language course designed to build up language proficiency prior to the beginning of the academic term in September. An accompliahed musician, Dan performs as a singer in

Daa Bleicher the Jerusalem Chamber Choir and has performed with the Jerusalem 'Broadcasting Symphony in recitals throughout the country. After the Yom Kippur War, he participated in the Memorial Service at Hebrew University held on behalf of the studenU who fell during the war. At the outbreak of the Yom Kippur War, Dan joined the ranks of civilian volunteers who helped keep local industries productive and city life operative. He volunteered to work in a pharmaceutical company packing antibiotic pills, and later served as a
