PLO Problems TEL AVIV, (JTA) - The Palestine Liberation Organization's claim that it is the sole representative of the Palestinian people has been dealt a severe blow as a result of the Lebanese war, according to Shlomo Avineri, the director general of the Foreign Ministry. Speaking at B'nal B'rith House here, he said that the previous seeming unity of the PLO has been rent by infighting and by its conflicts with various Arab countries. Part of the PLO, Avineri noted, is in conflict with the Syrians and one part of the PLO Is battling another part.

The honesty, done albeit with a light touch, was refreshing, and hardly anyone could take offense even though no holds were barred.

By Joseph Polakoff WASHINGTON (JTA) - President Ford rficciAscd to about. so. editors, of American Jewish newspapers at an unprecedented 35minute questions-and-answer session in the White House Thursday, Oct. 14, that two of the four weapons systems he agreed recently to provide to Israel "have not yet been delivered to our own forces." He said that the systems are "very sophisticated in their application and development" and that "it may take some time" before they are actually turned over to Israel. "Hie President added, "I hope this development will lead more to deterrence than to utilization for war" and that he also hoped "both sides" would realise this, a reference to suggestions from his questioners that Arab countries, particularly Saudi Arabia, might now request similar weapons. Ford said he did not believe any significant requests have been made by other countries for such systems and observed that "they could buy them elsewhere." He did not amplify that remark. The President told the editors that "The list of weapons requested by Israel Is a list gone over by me personally and b in the process of implementation by the Department of Defense." Asked if letters of notification of ths transfer of equipment will go to Congress during its current recess or be delayed until after the new Congress convenes In January, Ford replied, "We win certainly do what is required" under ties relationship between Congress and the Executive branch. The arms agreement with Israel which has aroused criticism from as yet unidentified sources at the Pentagon and the State Department was one of a variety of topics for the President's comments in the Blue Room of the White House. The President was introduced by Max Fisher of Detroit, an industrialist and national Jewish leader who Is chairman of the "People for Ford Committee." He addressed the editors briefly and then took questions for about 35 minutes. Afterwards, the President mingled with the editors and answered several other questions. He pledged thathls "ground rules" for dealing with Israel and the Middle East conflict were "no imposed solution, no insistence on one-sided concessions," the "closet consulta-

tion", with Israel and "very substantial military"and economic aid" to that country. Ford stressed that "any settlement in the Middle East should come in direct negotiations" between Israel and the Arabs and that a solution by the U.S. and the Soviet Union "U not T therigntway."\ The President was asked whether U.S. support for Israel Is "a special case and exception within a general American posture of withdrawal in foreign affairs." He replied that it was not an exception but "a part of a global . strategy to achieve or to maintain peace on a global basis and the support of Israel is an Integral part of achieving a permanent and just peace In the Middle East." . Ford told the editors that his orders to the Department of Commerce, to disclose the names of American corporations complying with the Arab boycott became effective as of Oct. 7. He said that was "the decision I agreed to. It is prospective rather than retroactive" because he did not want to change the rules in the middle of the game. ' • . He noted that his executive orders last year did not require the Department of Commerce to name companies complying with the boycott but as of Oct. 7 "evcvyUdy iuwws it will be public." Asked what percentage of the Jewish vote he thought he would win on Nov. 2 and whether be expected to carry New York State, Ford replied "I wouldn't be the best Judge" of what part of the Jewish vote he would receive. He noted however; that be has always bad "excellest relations" with the Jewish community. He said he thought be had "a good chance" to x carry New York In the elections. .'..'/'• Asked about the request for political asylum by the Indian Jewish leader Elijah Jhirad whose extradition has been requested by the New Delhi government, Ford said the case was still in the Judicial process and that he would consider it when it came before him. Robert A. Cohn, editor of the St. Louis Jewish Light and president of Urn American-Jewish Press Association, thanked the President for accepting the Association's request for their meeting. -^ The editors were addressed by James Lynn, . director of the Office of Management of the Budget. They were guests of the Administration at a reception at Taylor House and were Invited to a reception at the Israeli Embassy here Thursdaynlght. , • ..

New Rabbi Was Once a Protestant HAIFA - He is the rabbi of a c o n g r e g a t i o n which numbers over ten thousand persons — yet he had never seen a Jew, face-to-face, until he was 22 years of age. He is Rabbi Aharon ShearYashuv, recently chosen to minister to the students and staff on the Mount Carmel campus of the Technion, Israel Institute of Technology. I meet him often, and am always impressed with his cheerful smile, his modesty, and the spirit of strength and confidence which exudes from him. No one, gazing at, his bearded countenance, could suspect the story behind this man. . -

"The cpongeltice American policy on arms exports effectively takes decislonmaking out of Washington's hands and delivers it to foreign governments in coalition with their own and American special-interest groups," comments The New York Times (Sept. 29).

The Chicago Sun-Times (Sept. 29) takes a firm stand on the boycott and the arms sales. "The ideal solution to both is clear: The United States should get out of the dirty business of adding to arms proliferation throughout the Per• slan Gulf area and the United States should refuse to let Arab governments dictate U.S. economic policies." The Kansas' City Star (Sept. 25) acknowledges that a proper ."stand of principle;' opposing the Arab economic boycott might have a "certain cost." But "there is at least a reasonable expectation" that the Arab states "will buckle, in practice U not publicly. "If they do not, it will not be the first time, that American business has been asked to pay a price in dollars for behaving responsibly. As the. scandal of International corporate payoffs ' has demonstrated, there is more Involved in foreign commerical relations than simply the numbers on the bottom line. Decency and large policyobjectives also enterthe calculation." The Administration would have been wiser to postpone all of the recent massive arms sale to Saudi Arabia so that a new Congress could more accurately reflect current "views of its constituents. - When the new Congress reexamines our arms sales, it should do so more Bothered

A majority of the American public would agree that our nation should be free: • From the threats of embargo, boycott and interference with our government's legitimate efforts to protect the right of American businessmen to trade freely with other countries. • • From arbitrary cartel-imposed price .boosts which inflate the living costi of all Americans.

He was born 36 years ago to a Protestant family in a small German village. There were no Jews in the village. When the-sensitive boy first heard the story of the Holocaust, and of what his people the Germans had done to the Jews, he was shocked in a real sense. Drafted into the German army, he refused to don the uniform which had become a symbol of Inhumanity. He was exempted for pacifist reasons, and enrolled at a Protestant theological school. But the more he studied of Christianity the closer he felt drawn to Judaism. This, he found was the source. All else was pale imitation. He began to attend synagogue on Saturday —. church on Sunday.

Time, Energy and Devotion Build Mew Center

Norman Batt

Dan Katzman

By Barbara Simon The old Center no longer stands at 20th and Dodge. It was a fine building and cultural haven that resulted from the dream of our 192O's Jewish citizens, - In addition to the spirit of Jewish identity and the concept of a place where all Jews of the city can gather, the old Center passed oh a very real legacy lo us. The proceeds of the sale of that building constitute a $700,000 endowment fund for the present building. It is the tangible gift from one generation's efforts and dreams to ahother. . Our current board of directors plans to keep that gift intact as a symbol, says Norman Batt, immediate past president of the board. "It Is a symbol of the hands reaching out to help our continuing Jewish community — from one generation to the other." Batt also comments that there are four stones and a cornerstone from the old Center in storage. In a December ceremony, near Ilanukkah, the cornerstone will be set in a copper-lined opening reserved for it on the Center theater wall. The cornerstone, which has the names of the builders of the old Center engraved on it, will seal a time capsule to be placed inside the space. Batt is hopeful that the other stones, which are from the decorative cornice which topped the old building, will become part of a memorial to the six million Jews who died under Hitler. This memorial is currently bsing discussed by the board. Old gives'way to new, with memories and memorials lingering on as our ties to the past. Who got the Idea for the new Center going? What were the events that made it possible? Chuck Monasee headed the study committees that brought over 300 Omaha Jews together In a series of meetings to plan-and give suggestions for the new Center (the architect changed the plans asa result). . . ' • ' . . : Dan Katzman headed the entire project: he assigned the other, committees, organized the fund raising ("first we taxed ourselves," he said), and kept the spirit going. . Art Goldstein chaired the site selection committee. : Morley Zlpursky, vice-president of the Federation In 1971, beaded the architect selection committee, raised a lot of money ("we all fund raised," he said,), and helped to plan where the Center would be. Murray Newman headed the fund raising committee. Norman Batt thought he was just going to be on the architect selection committee, but he ended up supervising the entire construction phase of the building, working on the site for parts of almost every day, dealing with strikes, change orders and delays. Nick Newman "gave it heart and soul," according to Katzman. He was Federation President in 1971; had returned from a trip to Israel just after the '67 War filled with fervor about the uniqueness and beauty of the Jewish heritage, and he gave the drive to build-the new Center its "moral and financial substance," according to Katzman. In a twist of tragic irony, Nick Newman died of cancer the day the cornerstone was layed for the new building. , These are the men whose driving enthusiasm began the flow of energy and dollars which resulted in our magnificent Center building. , .,.:.

With apologies, here goes.11) As far back as the Federation presidencies of Ernest A~ Nogg, Arthur Goldstein, Milt Abrahams, and Harry Sldman — spanning the years 1962-1968 — the conversation at board meetings often Included "should we or should we not build a new center? " Elmer Gross, Federation president in 1969-70, reports that by bis tenure the board was convinced that the 20th and Dodge neighborhood was so unattractive that Center members were afraid to go there, and that the situation had been bad for ten yean or more. The Center was running a budget deficit of over $100,000. * Irf the early GO'S there had been a hew Center planning committee, with Milton Livingston as chairman, but sentiment then was that the old building should be Bold before any plans were nude for a new one. •

"We were fired up and inspired," says Zlpursky. "In the years following the '67 War In Israel we became like the rest of American Jews all over the United States — part of a great outpouring of support for Israel — and ultimately eager for a better Jewish life here." . Katzman adds: "We had a fear — and we were convinced — >that the trend o( Omahans was to ignore the old Center. We were afraid It would be closed, and then we'd only have an office somewhere to carry on Federation business. I personally believe that the stronger our identification as Jews, the better Israel will fare — and you know I'm a zealot for the survival of Israeli" "The time was ripe," adds Monasee, "for a new generation to reinvest — the way the first Center builders had dohe—we saw the Center as an instrument for survival. We did It for ourselves and our kids." ' \ . ' "' Zlpursky agrees. "We became convinced that we needed to worry about the future for our children — that every generation has a responsibility to the next one," he says, • ; . - : - r;.:—..'-.'

Nearly 300 people met for months and discussed what they would like to have in the Center's various departments, from pre-school to senior adults, from library to handball courts.

The first drawings and estimates done by a California firm showed that the site, at 96th and Western, Just east of the Westroads, was too small. It was a sloping 10 acre plot, and Katzman recalls with a laugh that Nick Newman said, "Dan, they'll remember you and me for generations when they trudge . uphill from the parking area In the winter time!" Milt Livingston had died by this time, but the trustees for the Livingston Foundation agreed that the site should be changed to fulfill the needs of the community and the plan.

Two Prominent Men Discuss Situation NEW YORK, (JTA) •'. Although the growth of antiSemitism ana spread of antiJewish literature in Argentina have caused a great deal of concern to the Argentinian Jewish Community, they nonetheless have confidence _JnlheJuture_arid believe that • 'the situation will change. This assessment was made by Jacob Kovadioff, the d i r e c t o r of the South American office of the American Jewish Committee and for a long time active in Jewish affairs, in Argentina. . Interviewed recently by the Jewish Telegraphic Agency, • Kovadioff, who came to New York for consultations with 'American Jewish leaders, said the optimism of Argentine Jewry is the result mainly of t h e s t r o n g p u b l i c statements made by the nation's leaders denouncing the anti-Jewish propaganda and forbidding the publication of Nazi and anti-Semitic hate 'Jiterature;,

The most publicized action taken by the government was the closing of the Editorial Millcia publishing house in Buenos Aires, the key "organization spreading the writings of Nazis and local anti-Semites. But, according to Kovadioff, the notorious activities of Millcia will probably be resumed in the near future under a new name, Edidones Odal, since the government ban was directed specifically against Mfllcia.

Kovadioff also explained that Argentinian Jewry believes that the present situat i o n will change because "the majority of the population in 'Argentina is not antiSemitic." He pointed out that : the general press and the
