NEW YORK (WNS) — Herbert Klein,- the White '
House Director of Communications, said on a local
radio program here that President Nixon "did discuss
the issue of Soviet Jewry and American concern was
made known to all top Soviet leaders as well as those on
lower levels" during the Moscow summit talks last
month. In Moscow, the President's advisor of national
security affairs, Dr. Henry 'Kissinger, had told
newsmen that the President had "mentioned" the
issue during the summit talks. In Seattle last week,
Sen. John V. Tunney (D., Calif.) speaking at a UJA
dinner, said "it does not appear that the President even
raised the issue of the treatment of Jews by the Soviet
government." He said that if the President did raise
the issue, "he has kept it a well guarded secret."
TEL AVIV (WNS) — The "Histadrut-owned Koor
Industries, Israel's largest industrial holding com¬
pany, has signed an agreement with the giant
Japanese firm of Koichi Ishikawa for the establish¬
ment of a joint trading company, to develop commerce
between the two countries and to expand their com¬
merce in other parts of.the world. The agreement is
expected to'double Israel's import from Japan next
year and to "increase the importance and development
of Eilat, its major outlet for trade to Asia and.Africa.
The pact is viewed here as a major breach of the Arab
League boycott-which has prevented,many Japanese _.
•• firms from-large'scale trade with.Israel. %  '
- NEW YORK (JTA) — The" first break in the Hurok
bombing case is expected to occur by month's end, the
JTA learned this week. Three members of the Jewish
Defense League have been subpoenaed to appear in
Federal Court June 30. Their lawyer, Barry Ivan
Slotnick ofJWanhattan, declined to identify them other
than to say two are male and one is female. A Jewish
secretary was killed and four people were injured in an
explosion Jan. 26 in the offices of Sol Hurok, the Jewish
impresario. Anonymous callers, referring to Hurok's
importation of Soviet artists, told news media: "This
culture destroys millions of Jews. Cultural bridges of
friendship will pot be built over the bodies of Soviet
Jews, Never again." Although "Never again" is the
JDL slogan, the group denied responsibility, deplored
the incident and suggested it was the work of "Com-
munist provocateurs."

UNITED NATIONS (JTA)
— Lebanese President
Suleiman Franjieh's
disavowal of responsibility
for the Tel Aviv massacre
was described this week by
Israeli Ambassador Yosef
Tekoah as "an unabashed
attempt to misconstrue facts
and evade the obligation
incumbent on the Lebanese
government to put an end to
terror operations from
Lebanon." In a letter to
Yugoslav Ambassador
Lazar Mojsov, Security
Council president for June,
Tekoah charged that
Lebanon's disavowal was an
attempt to "conceal the
facts, confuse public opinion -
Columbus a loyal and ef¬
fective group of wom^n; 'to
extend its aid to the UJFC in
matters of > communal
concern; to conduct an
annual campaign among
women on behalf of the
UJFC to meet J[ewish
communal obligations,
nationally, loOlly' and
overseas;,, to provide for
continuity a^d. development
of leadership, arid to provide
for creative ' and in-depth
education for\ effective un¬
derstanding of the. total
Jewish community."
The reactions arid
recommendations which will
emanate from this day long
dialogue will help determine
(gg^TI^M^D Qt?PAGE »). 7'
and: disclaim
respon¬
sibility" through "cynical
callousness and... contempt
for Lebanon's international
obligations." Pointing out
that the Lydda Airport
massacre "was conceived,
planned" and'-^'r^anized in
Lebanon by the Popular
Front for the Liberation of
Palestine based in Beirut,"
Tekoah asserted that it was
"an established  and  well-
known fact" that Lebanon
has been "4"ow'n8 its
territory to become a center
of Arab terror irganizations
and a base for international
terrorist opera ions."
In        Fatafiland        in
southeastern  Lebanon,  the
Israeli  envoy 'noted,   there
exists a 5000-njember "base
of terror operations against
Israel," and I "Lebanon's
capital, Beirut!, has become
the   seat   of/ the   terror
organization^'   headquar¬
ters." Denying this, Tekoah
'said, "Is wilfully distor^fng
facts   and   ignoring,   the
criminal activities in and'out
of   Lebanoh  .that   have
already resulted in the loss
of numerous human lives."
In addition to the Lydda
action,    he   'noted,    the
hijackings of a Sabena jet
last montli and of) a Luf-
thansa   jet!   in  Feb.   were
carried   out   by   terrorists
trained      iri"     tebanon.
Lebanese J responsibility   is
"especially gravje"" Tekoah
continued,! because "it has
not only failed to act against
the criminal activities of the
terror organizations but has
entered into a pact of
cooperation with them,"
signed in Cairo on Nov. 3,
1969, and "observed in . . .
letter ahd spirit by the
government of Lebanon."
Tekoah declared: "If
(Lebanon) does not take
effective measures to
eliminate terror activities' on
and from its soil it must be
considered as consciously
violating the obligations
incinnbent on it... When the
government of Lebanon
-resolves to terminate these
activities ' and takes
measures to bring this about,
the crimes against humanity
perpetrated by the .terror
groups from its "territory will
stop."
It was understood that
Israel is not asking for UN
sanctions against Lebanon
because it holds .out no hope
for their being voted, Israel's
approach, it was understood,
will be to put pressure on
Lebanon, through third-,
party nations, to eradicate
terrorism.
Charge Undermining Action Of
Pilots To End An* ^Terrorism
NEW YORK (JTA) — The
American Jewish Congress
this week charged the
chairman of the Civil
Aeronautics Board with
"undermining" action by the
Air Line Pilots Association to
end air terrorism by
boycotting countries that
protect   hijackers.    Phil
Baum, AJCongress assistant
executive director, rejected
the position f-eportedfy taken
by CAB chief Secor D.
Browne that ''international
diplomacy jshould be left to
government   pfficials."
of the pilots association
could end "most air
terrorism"\ quickly,
especially if backed up by
"comparable action" by
airline management. Baum
added     that     Browne's

Anti-Terrorist Bills Introduced
WASHINGTON (WNS) —
More than 30 Represen¬
tatives of both parties in¬
troduced legislation! which.
calls for severe measures
against air terrorist groups
and countries which provide
sanctuary for them. The bills
were prepared by Rep.
Herman Badillo, New York
Democrat. Earlier, Sen.
Jacob'Javits (R„ N.Y.)
.assailed Egyptian Premier
Aziz Sidky for gloating over
the Lydda Airport Massacre
Baum said, governmental   "Hesitancy     demonstrates
action "could ,take years"   the lack of resourcefujness-
and determination which
accounts for the failure of
our government to devise
any effective steps to
counter air terrorism." He
said the. AJCongress was
calling on the airlines and
international1 civil aviation
groups to follow the lead of
the pilots> and,establish "an
industry-wide} (policy to seal
off any country'that refuses
to cooperate in the
prosecution, and punishment
of those who endanger the
lives and safety of air
passengers."
and called upon the govern¬
ment to investigate the in¬
volvement of /Lebanoa and
Egypt in that/affair "and, if
necessary, nave American
airlines cancel flights to both
those countries. The State
Department {condemned the
Premier's lauding of the
massacre and formally
protested to Egypt.
President Nixon sent a
personal message of con¬
dolence to Israel's Premier
Golda Meir. ii
Knesset Warns i^rab States Of
Responsibility For Terrorism
J^JtUSAl^^'jTA) -
Th'e'l(l Knesset on,'June 5
warned' Arab States aiding
and harboring terrorists that
theycwfould be held fully-
responsible for terrorist acts
against Israel. A resolution
, to that effect was adopted
with no opposing votes and
abstentions by only, two
members of the pro-Moscow
New-Communist (Rakach)
faction. 7 The\   operative
. paragraph of the resolution
states that Israel, will take,
action against such states in
the exercise of its right .of publjc foruni^of the Knesset
self defense. The resolution   was not av'sliita'ble,place to ,
was passed after a debate
during which premier Golda
Meir rejected calls from
some Knessei 'members for
, immediateretaliation. for the
massacre at Lydda Airport
May 30. Zevulon Hammer of
the Rational Religious Party
urged Israeli counter^
terrorist activities inside the
Arab countries sheltering
them. Mrs. Meir warned the
chamber: not. to adopt
resolutions calling for
•specific action. She said the-
discuss such; plan's.; (The
Premier aiso'' 'sharply
rejected contentions by some
MKs that security measures
at Lydda Airport were
defective. She said she knew
of no grounds for such
criticism. She admitted that -
Israel was surprised by the
methods employed im the
Lydda attack and the nature
of the perpetrators. But"
there can be no blaming
anyone for it, she said..
