JERUSALEM (WNS) — Four terrorists penetrated
into Kibbutz Shamir at the foot of the Golan Heights
killing three women before they were killed in turn in a
battle with kibbutz members. Two of the terrorists
were killed almost instantly by Uzi Tzur, a paratrooper
who was a member of the kibbutz. The other two with¬
drew to the kibbutz bee-house and killed the three
women, two of them members of the kibbutz - Edna
Mor, 20, mother of one child, and Shoshana Galili, 60, a
grandmother. The third was a 22-year-old volunteer
from New Zealand. The third terrorist was killed by
the kibbutz members while the fourth died when the
explosives he was carrying blew up. Army units also
rushed to the scene. Gen. Mordechai Gur, Chief of
Staff, said the terrorists entered from Lebanon dressed
as "hippies" in civilian clothes. He said they found
documents on them showing they had five targets,
including Shamir, although it was not known if they
had planned to attack all five. The terrorists also had a
large quantity of explosives, sub-machine guns, hand
grenades and ammunition. In Damascus, the Popular
Front for the Liberation of Palestine - General Com¬
mand led by Ahmed Jibril, the same group responsible
for the Kiryat Shemona massacre, took credit for the
attack.
WASHINGTON (WNS) — Syrian President Hafez
Assad, interviewed on American Television, said that
Syria has gained in its disengagement agreement with
Israel a three-step movement by which Israel will
pullout of all Arab territory it occupied on the 1967 Six
Day War. He said disengagement "constitutes a step
which should lead to the next stage and this stage in
turn should lead to the full withdrawal of Israel from
our occupied territories and to the restoration of the
national rights of the Arab people of Palestine."
Meanwhile Sen. Henry M. jackspri (D. Wash j warned
that the "heavy Soviet presence in Syria makes; the
disengagement agreement accord ''very fragile."

Nixon Leaves Israel, Promises
Aid And Nuclear Technology
JERUSALEM (WNS) —
President Nixon left Israel
after a 25 - hour visit in
which he promised lpng- -
term military and economic
aid and that Israel would
receive peaceful nuclear
technology. At a state dinner
given him in the Knesset,
Nixon; stressed that his
travels to. Arab countries
would in no circumstances
lead anyone to conclude that
America's friendship and
support for Israel is any less.
He said U.S. support of
Israel was strong before his
Administration  and  will
continue to be after he leaves
office. But he said Israel has
a choice now of either
standing firm and accepting
the status quo or it can take a
bolder course and recognize
"that continuous war in this
area cannot be a solution to
Israel's survival. Nixon at
the dinner also paid tribute
to former Premier Golda
Meir. He also praised the
contributions of Jews in
America and noted that Dr.
Henry A. Kissinger was not <
named Secretary'of State
because he was a Jew but
because he was the best man
for the job and has proven
this since taking up the post.
Israeli President Ephraim
Katzir in a toast to Nixon
praised the American
President and also noted the
parallels between the U.S.
arid Israel as democracies
which were settled by im¬
migrants, and had been
havens, for the homeless and
hopeless. He also noted that
both countries shared a
pioneering spirit.
In a joint statement issued
at the end of talks between
the Rabin government and

adopted a resolution, with
only the Rakah Communists
dissenting, calling on the
government to make the
facts known throughout the
world. The government
reportedly is already
preparing a "Black Book,"
detailing the mistreatment
of Israeli prisoners,- to'be
released soon in several
languages.
Peres told the Knesset that
the Chief Medical Officer
fdund in examining returned
POWs that . the "vast
majority of prisoners were
exposed during the im¬
prisonment to severe

analysis that the INS has
"failed to conduct a
thorough, result-oriented
investigation" of alleged
Nazi war criminals living in
the United States. "It ap¬
pears," she asserted in a
letter to INS Commissioner
Leonard. Chapman, "that
whatever additional action
INS has taken was hot the'
result of a more vigorous
and systematic investigation
but was solely in reaction to
my initial inquiries or in
response to them." She
reiterated her demands for a
full and competent in-,
yestigation of the alleged
criminals. Ms. Holtzman
had alleged that 60 reported
war criminals are in the U.S.

CAPITOL SPOTLIGHT
De Funis Case Arguinents Make It Historic Issue
(Article Three)
by JOSEPH POLAKOFF
(Copyright 1974, JTA, Inc.)
With the U.S. .Supreme
Court haying ruled his
complaint was moot because
he was being graduated
regardless of any decision it
made, Marco DeFunis, Jr.'s
case against the University
of Washington Law School
has passed into legal history
as   an    indecisive    and
I preliminary lawsuit of, the
crisis in opportunities for a
•I professional education in
I America. Nevertheless, the
issues, and the arguments
! about them appear, to form
. an unshakeable foundation
for the future case on which
the high court will ultimately
make its definitive decision.
Justice William Brennan
described the issues  as
■', "sharply defined and fully
canvassed." The same can
be said for the arguments
which were; prepared by
some of America's leading
legal scholars including
former Special Presecutor
Archibald Cox of Harvard
who backed the school, and
Yale's Alexander Bickel who
supported DeFunis.
In his preview of the case
for the American
Association of Law Schools,
the American Law Institute
and   the   American   Bar
Association, University of
Virginia Law School.
Professor D. Brock Hornby
defined "the precise issue"
as being "whether the
University of Washington
School of Law can take race
into account in selecting the
members of its entering
class in order to achieve
minority representation in
the law school'' and posed
the question as being "is
reverse   discrimination
constitutional?" The
significance of the case,
Hornby pointed out, is "what
, flexibility is open to higher
education generally and
professional schools in
particular, to increase the
representation of minority
groups in their student
bodies." (In this connection,
he noted parenthetically that
the enrollment of Black and
other minority freshmen
appears to be slowing).
The opposing views are
first seen in the clash bet¬
ween DeFunis' lawyer, Josef
Diamond of Seattle, and
Washington State's Attorney
General Slade Gorton.
Preferential treatment for
minority applications,
Diamond argued, violated
DeFunis' right to equal
protection of the laws.
Automatic classification by
race, without attention  to
