Mandate S^SbST"1^ Responding to a last-minute appeal from the United , Nations Security Council,' Egypt decided to permit renewal of the mandate of United Nations peace¬ keeping forces in Sinai for three months.

B'rith, said that the statement by Allan- McEachen, Canada's Secretary of State for Ex¬ ternal Affairs, "in total thrust represents a morally and politically courageous stand supported by the overwhelming majority of Canadians." McEachen in making the announcement to the House of Commons said -that he had sought UN Secretary General Kurt Waldheim's cooperation and that. Waldheim "has un¬ dertaken to study the situation in order to clarify his position." The Foreign Secretary added that the Canadian government believes that "this Congress cannot be held successfully anywhere this year." At the UN, the 22-member Com-. • mittee on Conference, which includes ■ Canada, has decided to hold a meeting to consider all the options in¬ cluding postponing ■ the ' conference.. The Canadian govern¬ ment's decision came after strong opposition in the country to admitting representatives of the Palestine Liberation Organization to Canada to attend the conference' as observers. The opposition was voiced within Prime Minister Pierre' Elljott Trudeau's own Liberal party as well as the opposition Conservative and New Democratic parties. In addition, the provinical government . of Ontario, whose capital is Toronto, Federation Leaders Meet In Israel To Adopt Budget B'nai B'rith To Silence Dissident Staff WASHINGTON (JTA) - The top - level personnel policy committee of B'nai B'rith International has Urged "strict disciplinary action" against any member of its professional staff who takes a public position in opposition to any "Supreme Lodge policy." The new initiative, broad in its wording but specific in its . application, is directed against employees of B'nai B'rith or B'nai B'rith Women who advocate any kind of accommodation between Israel and the terrorist Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO), or even public discussion of the issue. Earlier this year the B'nai B'rith Board of Governors took a policy position which declared "unconditional support of the government of Israel in its refusal to negotiate with the PLO." This govern¬ mental policy, which has been questioned by a "few'' leaders of the political op¬ position in Israel and by left - leaning critics in America, may, according' to the proposed action, no longer be debated or discussed by B'nai B'rith professionals in any public forum. The sponsor of the proposal, which must be ratified at the forthcoming meeting of,the Board of Governors in Houston, Texas, is New York Attorney Lawrence Peirez, long prominent in the affairs of the Anti-Defamation League and how chairman of the personnel policy committee. "In these times of peril for the. people and State of Israel," notes- Peirez, "we can no longer. allow our • employees to take positions which are inimical to our interests as we perceive them." The action is in-. tended as a warning to B'nai B'rith" staff' that vague slogans about "free speech" and "academic freedom" do not apply to those whose salaries are paid by the, dues of the half-million strong. B'nai B'rith family. Although the ruling does not yet apply to B'nai B'rith members, it is the hope of the sponsor that they will voluntarily accept the discipline which is being imposed upon the professional staff. B'nai B'rith is the first American Jewish organization to take this pragmatic position as an affirmation of the ideal of Jewish solidarity. Should the leadership of B'nai B'rith vote favorably on the measure, it is anticipated that they will urge - other Jewish organizations to initiate similar action within their own ranks. JERUSALEM - The fourth Annual Jewish Agency Assembly recently concluded its proceedings in Jerusalem, which brought more than 80 Jewish com¬ munity federation leaders of' the United States and Canada to join with 200 other leaders from communities of the free world to "deal with Israel's massive human needs," "and to adopt a budget to meet those needs." Ben1 M. Mandelkorn, Executive Vice-President of the Columbus Jewish Federation, represented Columbus as one of the 80 American delegates at the Assembly. Mr. Mandelkorn served as professional aide to one of the eight com¬ mittees of the Jewish Agency, the Rural Set¬ tlement Committee. The Assembly is the ultimate governing body of the Jewish Agency, which allocates funds raised for humanitarian programs in Israel through federation . supported United Jewish Appeal campaigns in the United States, and the Keren Hayesod in other free world countries. On his return to Columbus, Mr. Mandelkorn reported that the Jewish Agency has adopted a "needs budget" of $701 million for the current fiscal year of 1975-76. Of that amount, it defined $541 million of priorities to conform to the identified prospective income. "The Assembly urged an all-out effort to obtain, the full .sum," Mr. Mandelkorn Ben M. Mandelkorn stated, "and our current Cash Mobilization is a response to the manifest needs so clearly expressed in Jerusalem." Among the larger items in the priorities budget are the following: Immigration and Ab¬ sorption: $97,991,262. The (CONTINUED ON PAGE 10) refused to host the con¬ ference if the PLO attended. McEachen told the House that since Toronto was approved by the UN General Assembly as a site for the conference "there has been a steady deterioration of the atmosphere in which in¬ ternational conferences are held." He cited the "discord" which marked the last General Assembly, the UN Industrial Development Organization, the In- ternational Labor Organization and. the In¬ ternational Women's Con- ' ference meetings and declared they were marked by "excessive confrontation on issues that were not related to the subject matter • of the conferences." He also- cited "the public outcry for - or against admission to Canada" of the PLO ob- ' servers and said the government could not ignore ! the risk of public disorders." , McEachen also added that : Canada would "resist" any ! attempt to exclude Israel ; "or any other country" from 1 the proceedings of the next General Assembly which | opens Sept. 16. In Jerusalem, the Israeli ' government praised the' . Canadian decision. A, Foreign Ministry spokesman said by its decision the Canadian government - disassociated itself from the practice of exploiting in- ' ternational conferences for political purposes. "Israel ' appreciates the fact that the government of Canada made a public declaration of its ' . adherence to the univer¬ sality of the UN. and of its . opposition to any attempt to adversely affect the par¬ ticipation in the UN General Assembly of Israel or any other country," the statement said.
