WASHINGTON, (JTA) -
Assistant Secretary of State
Joseph J. Sisco and Israeli
Ambassador Simcha. Dinitz,
making his maiden address
in Washington, differed
widely and sharply on May 7
in their assessments of the
origin of the Six-Day War,
the road to peace and other
elements of the Arab-Israeli
conflict. They addressed
some 2000 people at the
Sheraton Park Hotel" in the
climax here of Israel's 25th
anniversary celebrations.
Sisco, speaking first, said
that the vision of both Arabs
and Israelis "has often been
clouded by myths of the past
which have persisted in
obscuring the realities of the
present," and referred to
'lost opportunities" for a
settlement. A "myth" that is
now accepted as reality in
much of ttie Arab- world is
that the Six-Day War was the
result of unprovoked Israeli
aggression, 't% tne State
;,TDepartment'it foremost
Middle East specialist said.
"On the Israeli side, there
is the myth that the Six-Day
War was the result of a
calculated Arab plan to
launch a war. of destruction
against Isra£&' he added.
"In my view.VnSisco said in
one of manyj&fcssages that
seemed to stitgss'an even-
handed perspective to tbe
conflict, "the'most plausible
explanation is-that the Six-
Day War resulted from
improvised actions and
reactions by each side.
Combined with each side's
perception and suspicion of
the other's, the cumulative
weight of these actions and
reactions made inevitable a
war neither side deliberately
sought at that time." Sisco,
who expressed confidence
that the United States will
"remain steadfast in its
support , for Israel's
security,"' also described as
a "myth that security is
solely a function of the
physical location of
territorial bouhdaires." In
this connection, he quoted

OSU Establishes
Hebrew With Donation
BY BILL COHEN
Chronicle Special Reporter
The Ohio State University
Board of Trustees on May 7
officially created a
Designated Professorship of
Hebrew with the. goal of
turning out better Hebrew
teachers and students in
Columbus.
The new faculty post was
established by a donation of
$100,000 to OSU's
Development Fund from the
United Jewish Fund and
Council, which will support
the program for the next five
years. *
Robert Smith,1 OSU Vice
President for Development,
told The - Chronicle a
' prominent person may be
' named for the job at the next
Trustees meeting early in
June.
Hebrew teacher- training
will be one of tbe main
responsibilities of the new
post, according to Dr. Yehiel
Hayon, Chairman of the
Hebrew Program in the
College of Humanities.
The person who takes the
job "will have two types of
students," ^ata*~J3flyon,
"teachers who are already
teaching in the Jewish
community....and students
who are, at this point,
majoring in Hebrew at the
University and who see their
future as Hebrew teachers."
The second part of the job
will be acting as "a con¬
sultant to the Hebrew
schools in Columbus," ac¬
cording to Hayon. "He will
be visiting in the schools and
be evaluating what they're
doing."
Hayon added that long-
range goals of the program
are   to   develop   better
1 materials   for   teaching
Hebrew. Special courses in

officials and|
munity leaders, Dr. Hayon
explained he first got the
idea of establishing the
special post when his infant
son was born last Sep¬
tember, starting Hayon
thinking about ways of
improving Hebrew
education that his son may
enroll in in six years.
He  praised  the   Jewish
community for  a   "high

Beth Jacob Testimonial To
Honor Mr. Moishe Weinstock
On Sunday, June 17, Beth
Jacob will host its second
annual Testimonial Dinner
at which it-will honor Mr.
Moishe Weinstock, an active
and devoted member of the
Congregation for 41 years.
Although President Dr.
Charles Young announced
Mr. Weinstocks' selection-
over a month ago, the date
for the event could not be
firmed because of Mr.
Weinstocks' extended visit to
Israeli Foreign Minister
Abba Eban as saying that
"the question of boundaires
is one of the components of'
peace and not its sole con¬
dition." Finally, Sisco said,
"There, is the myth  that
peace can be made by proxy-
•that powers not party to the
conflict,      acting      in¬
dependently or through the
United     Nations,     can
somehow. substitute   for
negotiations between the    v
parties themselves. This   -
hasn't been the case in any of
the successful negotiations
of international disputes in
recent history,  and the
Middle East is not exception.
The United Nations and
outside powers can play a
responsible   role   in   en¬
couraging the parties to get
a    negotiating    process
started. But they cannot be
part of the process itself."
Speaking of v*.'lost  op¬
portunities"    that -haye^r-
"slipped through the fingers
of thosecbncerehed," Sisco
said  that   "perhaps   the
greatest opportunity" came
after the Six-Day War when *

Dr. Young explained that
ttie purpose of the Annual
Dinner was twofold: to
recognize meaningful,
consistent synagogue par¬
ticipation, and to generate
funds to support those Beth
Jacob programs which
benefit the entire Jewish
Community. He said that the
bulk of the proceeds will be

The Jewish community
must take Key '73 seriously
because it is a "systematic,
massive" effort to convert
all Americans, including
Jews, to fundamentalist
Christianity, according to
Rabbi Marc Tanenbaum,
National Director of _ the
Inter-religion Religious
Affairs Department of the
American' Jewish Com¬
mittee.
"Tanenbaum spoke to
Jewish community leaders
in Columbus May 3 after
participating in a Jewish-
Lutheran dialogue at Capitol
University,

Tanenbaum said' that in

youngsters.
In Los Angeles, Tanen¬

until Jewish leaders
protested. He added that a •

synagogue claims that ih'the,
past several i months; v 25 v
young Jews have joined the
"Jews for Jesus"
movement.
"Deceptive   means   of
reaching Jewish children
' have often been used-coke
parties, hamburger bashes,
and rock concerts," ac¬
cording to the Rabbi.
"The American Board of
Mission to the Jews now has
a larger budget than it's ever
had before in its 75-year
history," added Tanenbaum.
The "Jews for Jesus"
movement is a front for the
