TEL AVIV (WNS) - The harassment of Israeli, ;
athletes at the World University Games in Moscow did
not prevent a warm friendship from developing bet¬
ween an Israeli basketball player, Yehoshua Schwartz,
and Russia's .outstanding gymnast, Olga Korvot. The
tall, bespectacled Schwartz and Miss Korvot, both of
whom speak English, met at various events and went
to dances together. Olga also visited the Israeli
athletes. Schwartz, declaring "we now good friends,"
said he plans to maintain contact by correspondence
with the beautiful gymnast. :„
OSLO (WNS) - The Norwegian Supreme Court has
ordered new hearings for one of the Israelis ap¬
prehended in the Oslo apartment of Israeli security
attache Yigal Eyal shortly after the slaying .of/the
Moroccan citizen, Ahmed Bouschiki. In overruling
earlier decisions by lower courts, the Supreme Court
noted that they had failed to evaluate the applicability
of the Vienna Convention regarding diplomatic im¬
munity. The Supreme Court sustained a motion by the
prosecution that all hearings and court proceedings in
connection with, the murder by held behind closed
doors. - "'..     v
LONDON (WNS) - Moscow Radio has defended
aliya from the Soviet Union in two separate broad¬
casts. In its general Arabic service Moscow radio
denounced a Lebanese newspaper report accusing the
USSR of helping the enemies of the Arabs. "It is the -
Zionists and imperialists who always tell the Arabs
that the Soviet Union has deserted them,'' the radio
said. In its broadcastserviceto Algeria; Moscow"Radio
denied that because Jews are allowed to go to Israel
this justifies equating the USSR with the US in regards
to the Arabs. "After all, only 42,000 Jews have left the
Soviet Union for Israel but about 800,000 Jews have left
the Arab countries for Israel."

ICAO Condemns Israel For Airliner Interception
Claim Airlines Pay Blackmail To Terrorists
«■
fn
JERUSALEM, (JTA) —
Official sources condemned
as unbalanced and one-sided
the resolution adopted on
Aug. 30 in Rome by the In¬
ternational Civil Aviation
Organization (ICAO) con?
demning Israel for;; in¬
terception of a Lebanese
airliner Aug. 10 and forcing
it to land at an Israeli air-
base. The 128-member ICAO
general assembly adopted
the resolution by a vote of 87-
1 with four: abstentions.
Israel cast the lone negative
vote and Ireland, Thailand,
j Singapore and Bolivia, ab¬
stained 'on the resolution
which also warned that if
Israel repeats the action the
ICAO will take measures
against her. The con¬
demnation followed similar
actions in the United Nations
Security Council and the
ICAO council in Montreal. In
condemning the ICAO's
resolution, official sources
stressed that the convention
did not take into account the
background of the in¬
terception, nor did the
delegates pay attention to
tiie protection given by Arab
states to the terrorists who
endanger the security of
civil aviation. Several Arab
countries voilated the in¬
ternational law concerning
civil aviation many times,
the sources pointed out, but
no action has ever been
taken against them.
However, the general belief
in Jerusalem was that the
Arab delegations in Rome
failed in their efforts to
impose sanctions on Israel.
Many Western countries,
headed by the United States,
convinced  the  Arabs  to
Waldheim Pessimistic About
Quick Mideast Breakthrough
-GENEVA, <JTA).~United-
Nations Secretary General
Kurt Waldheim flew to
Damascus last week on the
first leg of a five-nation
Middle East tour he has
undertaken at the initiative
of Egypt and for which he
held out little prospects for
any immediate
breakthrough to resolve the
Arab-Israeli dispute.
Dr. Waldheim reviewed
the Middle East situation
with his special Mideast
envoy, Ambassador Gunnar
V. Jarring shortly after he
arrived here yesterday and
met with Dr. Jarring again
this morning before..taking,
off for Syria. He told
newsmen here that "I do not
expect to return with a
solution to this very com¬
plex, difficult and tragic
problem, nor is it my in¬
tention to present specific
proposals." Waldheim
added that his Mideast visit
"does hot replace the
mission of Ambassador
Jarring."
His less than optimistic
assessment of the situation
was contained in the in¬
troduction to his annual
report to the UN General

Israeli Athletes Silent On
Moscow Games Harassment
TEL AVIV (WNS) -
Israel's 32-member team,
greeted with flowers and
kisses, returned from the
World University Games in
Moscow with little to say
about the harassment they
received when boos, catcalls
and anti-Semitic ephitets
were hurled at them during
most of the contests in which
they participated. The
athletes referred to a
statement issued in Moscow
by Adin Talbar, head of the
Israeli contingent, who
blamed the international
committee that organized
the games for permitting the
harassment arid for not
sending the observers they

TORONTO, (JTA) - The
B'nai B'rith Board of
Governors, at its mid-year
meeting here, urged the

resist pressures to alter its
policy toward Israel because
of the threatened shortage of
Middle East oil. A resolution'
adopted by the Board said:
"Ttie U.S. and the entire
West can ill afford to rely on
volatile and unstable
governments" for its energy
sources.
