Settlements Do Not Pose Ihsurmpun table Problems WASHINGTON, (JTA) President Carter said that "any' move toward making permanent the settlements In the occupied territories or the establishment of new settlements obviously increases the difficulty of an ultimate peace." But, he added, "It Is not an Insurmountable problem." In a news conference July 28, Carter repeated an earlier statement that "the establishment of new settlements or the recognition of existing settlements to be legal both provldeobstaclestopeace." But he said It was an obstacle that."can be overcome" and .expressed optimism that' a Geneva _ con' fercJice:.wouldvJstill" be reconvened in the near future. In what was seen here as a conciliatory gesture toward Israeli. Premier Menachem Begin, Carter seemed to play down the Importance of this week's American-Israeli skirmish over Israel's legalization of three settlements on the West Bank. He said he did not think it Is fair to "overly criticize" Begin and cautioned against overemphasizing or exaggerating the significance of recent developments. Menachem Begin raised the issue with the President during his recent discussions.

Israeli Pupils Provide Catering For Presidential Dinner Parties NEW YORK, N.Y. - If ever you should be privileged to attend dinner at the official residence of Israel's President Ephratm Katzir be aware that the gourmet dishes which will tease your palate may originate in the kitchens of Beit Zeirotn Mizrachi - a girls vocational high school sponsored by American Mizrachi Women. This was the outcome of a recent exhibit put on by the

girls of this school which annually graduates a class of outstanding chefs and fashion designers. Also on exhibit were fashion knits conceived and produced by the school's design and knitwear students whose bright and imaginative styles are immediately snapped up by such fashion houses as Polgat and VltalgoforInclusion In their latest catalogues.

Mizrachi are for the most part from large Oriental and Sephardi families of limited means and little opportunity for economic advancement. At BZM they are given an unprescendented opportunity • mostly on scholarships — to develop marketable skills which are currently in high demand in Israel. Frequently the dishes and designs of the students are influenced by the traditional foods and fashions of their own Sephardi backgrounds - thereby adding a special dimension of flavor and originality to their work. When Nina. Katzir visited the latest exhibit she was overwhelmed by the taste of the cooking and the sumptuousness of the presentation^ Offered the students' catering services, the First Lady repUed"It'sadeal!"

The remains were taken to the Institute of Forensic Medicine in Tel Aviv for positive Identification. According to the Egyptians they were discovered during excavations to widen the Suez Canal. Some Israeli circles Insist that only 14 Yom Klppur War dead are still missing and believe the figures of 19 may be, due to an error by the Egyptians. The experts will try to solve the puzzle.

Only G-d Knows The President of the United States and the Prime Minister of Israel have met, and millions of words are being written about this historic occasion. One incident during this meeting really stands out in our eyes. • ' President Carter noted that the first official act - of the Begin. administration was to rescue 66 homeless Vietnamese refugees and give them a home. Menacbem Begin said later that Israel's response to the emergency "was a natural act to us. We have never forgotten the hopeless terror and humiliation of Jewish, refugees trying to find a haven in the final days before World War II." Israel's compassion also is evident to the world at the Good Fence wheje medical help and trade are offered to thousands of thankful "Lebanese Christians. What kind of people are these Israelis? Jews know. The rest of the World? Only G-d knows.

HAIFA — Israel is anxious lor — Indeed, needs — peace, but U under no Illusions about Arab intentions.'We must be prepared tor any eventuality. Such preparation takes several forms. One, naturally, Is to assure maximum military strength to repel an enemy blow, and to launch a counter-offensive as required. No less important Is the defense of the home front and the whole economic structure which is bound to be affected from the impacts of war, direct and Indirect. Without panic, without fanfare, without dramatic heroics, Israel has set up an efficient and thoroughly systematic organization to meet any eventuality. An appraisal of what has been done is most reassuring. . Let's be realistic. Long range m i s s i l e s and sophisticated weapons in the hands of the enemy can bring the horrors of war directly into the heart of Israel's big cities. Furthermore, disruption of roads, communications, power lines, food, water and fuel supplies, can serious-

ly cripple the national economy. It is the task of the home front to maintain morale and to carry on its dally life as close to normal as possible, while concenlraUng on those essential operations designed to back up the military. For this purpose an "Emergency Economy" authority has been set up— Melach In Hebrew. General -headquarters is in smooth operation. Local control stations are well staffed. Test emergencies are called from

time to time to check the degree of preparation. The staff sits up nights thinking of any possible emergency that they might not have previously anticipated; that must bs prepared for too. The Authority will have power to assure that bakeries, for example, will have manpower to man their ovens, raw materials, and transport to assure delivery of their product to the public. Should t h e r e be a breakdown in the communications system, an emergency

With little surprise, the American media have focused considerable attention on Prime Minister Begin's visit to Washington. Contrary to the many alarmist descriptions published immediately following his election, the press has recently taken a more sober and objective look at the new Prime Minister and Dispositions. . ' • "-«" A few weeks ago, U.S. officials and commentators were forecasting "confrontations" and "show downs" in Begln's meetings with Carter, The New York Tunes, however, predicted in its July 18 editorial, that "those who await the sounds of battle will be disappointed." Both- leaders' political and diplomatic interests, the Times explained, "are inextricably bound. Israel's survival depends ultimately on a supportive United States; American interests in the Middle Bast require a responsive rather than hostile Israel." Perceptive portraits of Begin and the post- election mood in Israel were published in the New York Tunes Magazine (July 17) by CBS correspondent Marvin Kalb and, the Times Jerusalem correspondent, William Farfell. Kalb relates that "though I had been to Israel and the Arab states many times, I had never before found (he Israelis to be so distrustful of an American President." This concern, Kalb suggests, is echoed by Begin for whom "only one thought could reverberate through his mind— the security oI.Eretz Israel would be the security of the Jewish people."

Reaction to Pressure * Reacting to the unsubtle pressure the Administration exerted on the Israeli government prior'to BeghVs arrival, the St. Albans (Vt.) Daily Messenger questioned "what Carter is demanding of the Arabs other than that they begin negotiating with Israel in reach of a 'durable' peace. If anything, the

wavering of Israel's hitherto number one ally, the United States, may revitalize Arab determination to'drive Israel Into the sea.'" ' Statements by Egypt's Anwar Sadat that even divine intercession would not make him open his borders with Israel caused The Richmond Times Dispatch to remind the Administration "that by no means Is all of the 'recalcitrance'on the Israeli side." Columnist Mark Gayn (Toronto Star, July H) said that U.S, pressure on Israel has been • a result of the unfair "extremist" branding of Begin: "Look at the extremist, Washington said, we'll have to be tough with him." Gayn continued: "And tough it has been, denying Israel the right to say what the Arabs have been saying freely. For both the Jews and , Arabs, extreme positions may be intended solely for bargaining purposes... But while the White House has chosen to brand Begin as a zealot, it has gotten into the habit of describing the leaders of Egypt, Syria . . . as moderates." < .

PLOMilKons Following Time magazine's report iast weekjthat Palestinian terrorist groups earned $90 million last year in blue-chip Investments The Omaha World Herald noted that "the money the Palestinian terrorists take in goes for. lucrative investments and weapons, not for humanitarian relief of their own people. There's a new chapter of the Book'of : Hypocisy." ; - "- r ^ -

radio network is ready. If power lines are destroyed, local generators are standing by to feed Juice into operations which must go on — bakeries" again snake a good example. Without creating panic, housewives have lor some time been advised, and are constantly being reminded, to be sure to have a basic supply of food essentials at home — not hoarding but emergency supply, rotated from time to time to keep them fresh. If buildings are bombed, emergency shelters and blankets must be ready for evacuees — now, not hunted for when the need oeeura. I n s t r u c t i o n s , announcements, signboards, all must be prepared now, for every contingency. Community supplies'must be cached away, efficiently, but without being too obvious and without creating hysteria. Indeed, all this has been done in such low key that the public Is hardly aware. . Side by side with Melach is the Civil Defense Patrol, which is already a tightly organized network of citizens who, rifles over their shoulders, patrol practically every street in the country every night. My wife and I smile ruefully at our monthly "stint of duty; It seems so unnecessary today; But In case of real ^ need, a well-oiled, smoothly operating system has been set up. It won't have to be Improvised under pressures. ' '

The Written Word. . . By Morris Maline Omaha can be proud ol Ben Belmont, the first Jewish athlete from this community to participate In the Maccabiah Games in Israel. He lost his bout, with an Israeli fighter, but emerged as a silver medal winner.

des monies IMSWW seetioi Community Relations Commission Report Editor's Note: The following Is the third part of our reports by each agency presented at the Jewish Welfare Federation's Annual Meeting.

The Community Relations Commission functions to present the Jewish community in an effort-of public relations on issues of common concern. The Commission serves to establish regular communication with government officials, civic and religious organizations, the media and the public on issues in the areas of American Jewry, and Judaism: Israel and Soviet Jewry. The Community Relations Commission responded to issues in these areas by a varied program of activities. The Community Relations Commission has on going programs of activities in these various areas of Jewish concern. One program is the Speakers' Bureau which sends out qualified, " informed volunteer speakers on Israel, the Middle East, Judaism and related topics into the schools, the churches, and civic organizations. This year through a joint effort with the Des Moines public schools, the Speakers' Bureau has become an integral part of the inservice training for teachers and a unit is being developed on (he Holocaust for the use of high school history teachers. A program was also established through the Catholic diocese to provide mock Seders for Catholic churches. Our Scholar-In-Residence program was continued with the visit of Gavriel Zifroni, Israeli journalist, and we participated in this year's Israeli high school student delegation. These Israeli visitors spoke mainly to the non-Jewish community and were enthusiastically received. Our Social Studies Teachers' Institute on Israel has become an ongoing program that has led to many individual contacts in the school system. This program, which; brings resource material and information on Israel and the Middle East to local

The Arts Yaacov Kirschen: Cartoonist A little bit about the film: Maimonides set down' variously rated forms of "tzedaka".

teachers has been effective in encouraging and organizing units on modern Israel, Israeli literature, and Israeli music. The telegram bank has been expanded to continue liaison with the administration and our congressional representatives to keep them informed" of our concern for maintaining American support for Israel to continue to exist as a sovereign nation, and our concerns with Soviet Jewry. The Committee of Concern for World Jewry has been expanded to include representatives from Christian church organizations. The future of Jews in the Soviet Union and Indeed that of many Christian sects, is in more danger now than since the time of Stalin. Constant vigilance must be maintained to enforce a vigorous adherence to the Helsinki Agreement if human rights are to be achieved. The Des Moines Committee has been active in direct contact with significant legislators to maintain a strong American position in the establishment of goals of free emigration and the freedom of religious practices in the Soviet Union, Syria, and Argentina. A successful demonstration washeld In Ames at the appearance of a Russian orchestra to create public awareness of these problems. The media was used with several television interviews explaining cur position en the plight of Soviet Jews and a half-hour show was devoted to the experiences pf one Soviet Jewish family who have immigrated to Des Moines. A clergy awareness seminar was held on the topic of human rights in the Soviet Union to Inform clergy throughout the Des Moines area and to organize them for common action. The Des Moines Committee of Concern has allied itself with several activist committees in the United States so as to get the most up-to-date information and to respond with force in emergency situations. Contacts with the press are constantly being expanded so. as to establish a healthy working relationship with newspaper, television, and radio personnel, and we are encouraging members of the media to become participants in media tours sponsored by the Israeli government. . , The Community Relations Commission is promoting travel to Israel through cooperation with the National Conference of Christians and Jews and has been Involved in the organization of a university presidents' tour to Israel with two Iowa college presidents participating, The Community Relations Commission was extremely active in promoting strong federal anti-Arab boycott legislation by contacts with key senators and representatives and encouraging the continuation of Israel's "most favorad nation" status, military armaments appropriations, technological developments, -and co-production activities with the American government. This year we are increasingly faced with significant challenges in the areas of human rights In the Soviet Union, the changing face of American^sraell relations, and the increasing sophistication of, Arab propaganda. These challenges require that we present our case to the public, government officials, and the media with articulate vigor. It istomeet these challenges in the year ahead that the Community Relations Commission has undertaken these projects. '.--.., . Respectfully submitted, RosellndRabinowitz Commission Chairman
