Sadat Makes Plea For Peace; Says He is
Against Terrorism But Admired Hitler
LONDON (JTA) -
President Anwar Sadat of
Egypt made a plea for peace
in the Middle Bast in a BBC
Television interview July 16
declaring, "I am ready for a
peace agreement with
Israel." The interview was
conducted by Lord Chalfont,
a former Tjmes
correspondent and Minister
of State at the Foreign Office
in Prime Minister Harold
Wilson's first ad¬
ministration. Asked if he
was ready to recognize
Israel's right to exist, Sadat
replied: "I have accepted
Resolution 242, which in¬
cludes a recognition of the
existence of the State of
Israel, and this answers your
question. I was ready for
peace two years ago, and I
am ready now. There is only
one point on which I must
insist. The Palestinians
should attend the Geneva'
conference and have their
say there. This is my only
condition."
Asked about terrorism, the
Egyptian President replied:
"I am against terrorism and
violence. But put yourself in
the place of the Palestinians.
Let us put the real problem
on the table and solve it.
There are a million Arab
refugees living in tents, what
do you expect from them in
their situation?" At that
point Sadat revealed that
because he objected to
violence he personally in-
tervenced to prevent the
Queen Elizabeth 2 from
being torpedoed , by
terrorists last year. The
steamship was carrying 590
American Jews to Israel to.

niversary of the Jewish
State. "I personally," he

Pinhas Sapir, Jewish Agency
Chairman Will Visit Columbus
The newly elected
Chairman of the Jewish
Agency and Israel's former
Minister of Finance,
PINHAS SAPIR will visit
Columbus, Ohio on Sunday
July 28th to address a
leadership meeting of the
COLUMBUS x JEWISH-
FEDERATION. He will be
visiting key communities
across the United States
during the month of July.
At a special meeting called
for 10:30 A.M. at the Melton
Building at 1175 College
Avenue, Mr. Sapir will
examine the current Jewish
needs and the humanitarian
goals the American Jewish
community must set for
itself for 1975 on behalf jof the
people of Israel.
"It is planned that this
meeting will provide a direct
dialogue between the people
of Israel and Columbus
Jewish leadership," ex¬
plained Millard Cummins,
1975 Campaign Chairman,
"in order to foster a com¬
plete understanding of the
extraordinary dimension of'
leader. I stayed up until 3:30
a.m. when I was'sure that
the captain of our sub¬
marine, who had the order to
torpedo the QE2, had
received my order, and the
Egyptian submarine was on
its way back to Alexandria."
Sadat did not name the
Arab leader, and Lord
Chalfont stated here that
Sadat had not told him the
name of the Arab, leader
even privately, but most
people assumed it was

WASHINGTON (JTA) —
Discussion here of Henry A.
Kissinger's future is not
whether he will resign as
Secretary of State but when
and why he will step out of
the position he assumed only
last Sept. Resignation
"within weeks," some of the
country's principal con¬
servative voices are now
saying. He will leave ' the
Cabinet, they say, to help
former New York Governor
Nelson A. Rockefeller, his
prime political sponsor and
friend, groom for the
Republican Presidential
nomination in 1976. Liberal
commentators agree
Kissinger may leave but for
different reasons. The
Secretary, they say, has
incurred. President Nixon's
displeasure for being
identified daily in the media
as. a diplomatic magician
and as America's number
one hero, for moving world
diplomacy at his pace. The
implication is that the
President simmering in
domestic problems, is a "yes
man" to his subordinate on
foreign policy which the
President cherishes as his
domain of eminence in the
historical record.
A French source said the
President could not and
would not allow Kissinger to
continue in his Cabinet after
hearing the Secretary lay
the blame on the military of
both superpowers for the
failure to reach agreement
on nuclear weapons at the
recent Moscow summit
conference. The French
analyst compared
Kissinger's remark with that
of ' Jacques Servan -
Schreiber, Minister of
Reforms in the new Cabinet
of President Valery Giscard
d'Estaing. The popular
minister was critical of the

human needs facing Israel's
people during this post - war
period.
"The basis is not so much
a case of Jewish survival in
Israel, but a case of the
quality of that survival. At
this meeting he will clarify
the American Jewish
community's role in
assuring effective support of
vital social welfare and
immigrant programs in
Israel. We urge," stated Mr.
Cummins, "the attendance

NEW YORK (WNS) — The B'nai B'rith's Anti
Defamation League has charged that Jews have
become victims of ethnic discrimination in college
admissions and Wrings nationally and in appointments
as high school principals in New York City. The
charges were made in two reports. One pointed to a "re
- emergence of racial and ethnic discrimination" in
colleges and universities because of federal "failure"
to take action "against preferential treatment and
quota systems. "The other report charged that in six
New York City school districts no Jewish principals
were named between Oct. 1969 and Oct. 1972 although
38 non -Jews were appointed.
WASHINGTON (WNS) — Secretary of State Henry
A. Kissinger and Commerce Secretary Frederick Dent
have been discussing whether American businessmen
should be allowed to participate in a Moscow exhibition
of police equipment. This was revealed by Dent who
said a decision will be' made soon on whether U.S.
firms should be allowed to sell the Soviets such items
as personal surveillance, observation and information
- gathering devices. Sen. Henry M. Jackson has
declared that he is outraged by the prospects of U.S.
participation in the exhibit and said his Senate sub¬
committee on investigation will look into the matter.
The Student Struggle for Soviet Jewry has charged
that U.S. participation would be a "completely im¬
moral act which only furthers the ability of the KGB to
wipe out any voice of dissent."
NEW YORK (WNS) - Dr. Joseph P. Sternstein, the
new president of the Zionist Organization of America,
has announced he plans to conduct an extensive
educational program to restore the "Zionist Com¬
mitment" to American Jews. Dr. Sternstein, rabbi of
Conservative Temple Beth Sholom in Roslyn Heights,
L.I., told a press conference the first step in his
program would be a series of seminars to expose young
adult Jews and their families to Zionism. The
ZOA leader noted that while he does not believe "if you
don't go on aliya, you are not a Zionist," the recent
decline in aliya indicates an overall decline in
American Zionist consciousness.

the Pacific. He was fired
immediately by d'Estaing,
the French analyst said,
"because no head of state
can countemance a subor¬
dinate telling the public that
his leader does not control
his own government. Can
Nixon be any different?"
In blaming the military for
failure on SALT at the
summit, Kissinger pointed a
finger at Defense Secretary
James R. Schlesinger, his
Harvard classmate who has
also risen phenomenally to
•the top of the government's
appointive hierarchy.
Schlesinger's thinking on
Soviet - American
relationship in matters-of
defense and armaments is

Emigrants Seek Help For
Relatives Still In Russia
By Tova Kamins
NEW. YORK .(JTA) —, "I
am speaking in the name of
all the (Soviet Jewish)
prisoners. The people are in
desperate straits. They have
waited 5, 7, 10,. years for
their beloved ones... We
demand the intervention of
international organizations
on the conditions of the
prisoners." These were the
words of Chaim Drori, an
Israeli citizen who-recently
emigrated from the Soviet
Union and whose brother - in
- law, Yosef Mendelevich, is
a prisoner in a Soviet labor
camp. Mendelevich was
sentenced to 12 years in a
labor camp in the first
Leningrad trial in Dec. 1970.
Drori, along with Mrs. Eva
Butman and Julia Dymshitz
came to the United States
last week to seek help not
Only for their imprisoned
relatives but all Soviet Jews.
Drori and Mrs. Butman held
a press conference July 18
with New York State
Commissioner of Human
Rights Jack Sable at his
offices in Manhattan. Julia
Dymshitz, who did not at¬
tend the press conference,
was in California talking
with officials and Jewish
groups there.
For the past 10 days, the
three have been meeting
with Senators, Congressmen
and other government of¬
ficials as well as some
United Nations officials to do
what they can to convince
the U.S. government that
action must be taken to
intervene on the part of Jews
in Soviet prison camps.
Those prisoners are living a
subhuman existence on food
that is not fit for human
consumption and in con¬
ditions akin to those of Nazi
concentration camps, they
