UNITED NATIONS, (JTA) - The Security Council
adopted a resolution extending the mandate of the
United Nations Disengagement Observer Force on the'
Golan Heights for another mx months until Dec. 1. The
vote was 12-0. China, Libya and Benin did not par¬
ticipate in the vote. The current mandate expired May
31. -
TEL AVIV, (JTA) - Doctors of Ichilov Hospital said
May 25 that, Likue leader Menachem Beigin was
recovering well from the illness that caused his
hospitalisation May 22 and would be fit to travel to
Washington for a meeting with President Carter if he
becomes premier, although he would have to limit
some of his activities. Dr. Shlomo Laniado, chief
cardiologist at Ichilov, told reporters, the patient was
feeling excellent. Beigin was transferred from the
intensive care unit to a regular ward and was allowed
out of bed. He Was to be released May 28.  ,
JERUSALEM, (JTA) - The Israel Pound was
devalued another L9 percent May 24 making it now IL
9.44 to the U.S. dollar. This was the 20th mini-
devaluation since June, 1975. The continuing
devaluation of the Pound is probably the cause of
another innovation revealed by ,the Ministry of
■ Finance, a IL 500 note. Up to now the largest bill was
the IL 100 note. The new note bears the likeness of the
late Premier David Ben Gurion against the
background of the college at Kubbutz Sde Boker, Ben
Gurion's kibbutz. The reverse side shows the'golden
gate of Jerusalem's Old City walls facing the Mount of
Olives.
NEW YORK,,(JTA) -A
special alert has been issued
to the Jewish community
regarding the anticipated
large-scale drive by the
Hebrew-Christian groups in
the metropolitan area during
the summer months. Ac¬
cording to Dr. Seymour
Lachman, chairman of the
New York Jewish Com¬
munity Relations Council's
Task Force on Missionary
Activity, there are verified
reports that missionaries
will be coming to New York
-from'other parts of the
country, beginning in mid-
June.
Lachman indicated that
among the groups known to
be organizing summer
campaigns are Jews for
Jesus. B'nai Yeshua and
Beth Sar Shalom. He said
these intensified efforts
follow months of' build-up
and training.
These groups, he added,
hope to reach out and en-"
snare people of all ages but
especially   those   in   their
teens and twenties who may
have been unable to secure street    solicitation,    ap-
employment or are other- pearanc'es of public events,
wise unoccupied at this time, and gathering places and at
There   will   be   extensive musical    and    dramatic
distribution   of   literature, programs, Lachman voted.

tions shows that the Likud
now has 43 seats in the
Knesset, an increase of four
compared to the previous
Knesset, and that the Labor
Alignment has 32 seats, a
loss of 19 seats. The final
count also shows that the
Democratic Movement for
Change has 15 seats and that
Rakah has five seats, an
increase of one.
The seats for the other
parties according to the
official results, along with
the seats they had in the
previous Knesset shown in
parentheses, are: National
Hebrew School, Beth Jacob Announce Graduations

Religious Party, 12 (10);

coalition of Moked and
several other left-wing
'groupings), 2 (in the
previous, Knesset,!' Moked

Flatto-Sharon, 1 (0); In¬
dependent Liberals, 1 (4);
Citizens Rights, 1 (3);
United Arab List, 1 (3); and
Poalei Aguda, 1(1).
The final count, which
included the army vote, also
shows that some 74,000
Israelis eligible to vote could
not cast their ballots because
their names were not in¬
cluded in the voter
registration list.
Justice Elijah Manny,
chairman of the central
elections committee, told the
Army Radio that "masses of.
voters, could, not^cast their-
ballots because .the Interior
Ministry did not prepare a
new voters' register." The
votes were the equivalent of
five Knesset seats.
According to Malcolm
Hoenlein, executive director
of the Council, the VI Found
it" campaign, which, in¬
cluded a $1 million-plus
media blitz has given added
impetus to the increasing
efforts of the Hebrew-
Christian groups. He
reported that respondents to
the ads, commercials and
posters that have inundated
the metropolitan area are
being referred to the New
York office of Jews for
Jesus.
Moreover, he said, many
churches have been enlisted
for door-to-door campaigns
in their communities.
Among those involved in
organizing and executing
this extensive follow-up are
leaders of the Hebrew-
Christian, missionary
groups, Hoenlein said: Other
major programs, he pointed
out, include: I
•"Shechinah '77": An
annual conclave of Hebrew-
Christian missionaries
which will take place June
17-18 at the Stony Brook
headquarters of B'nai
Yeshua-. ..Up ,to 10.00
.representatives of major
.missionary groups...from
around the country are
expected to participate.
They will share experiences,

JERUSALEM, (JTA) -
Two Israeli newspapers
reported May 25 that U.S.
officials have drafted
working papers calling for
Israel's withdrawal to its
1967 borders in two stages
with    various    security
. provisions.
Haaretz said that the
working papers were part of
Washington's preparations
for its overall proposals to
resolve the Arab-Isreli
Conflict. The afternoon
paper Yediot Achronot
confirmed the report and
added that the working
papers were prepared .by
middle echelon' State
Department officials to be
submitted to the top echelon.
(The   reports   were
^promptly denied "in
Washington May 25.
Replying to questions from
reporters, the, State
Department's chief
spokesman, Hodding Carter
said "No such plan has been
formulated. We're still
talking with the parties," he
said, adding that "we've
said the terms for a Middle
East settlement must be
negotiated by the parties.")
_ In Jerusalem, the new U.S.
ambassador, Samuel Lewis,
also denied the existence of a
U.S. Mideast peace plan in
response to questions about
the report in Haaretz. "I'm
quite sure it's not true," he
said to reporters as he was
emerging from a meeting
with Premier Yitzhak Rabin
whom he called on after
presenting his credentials to
President    Emphraim
-• Katzir. He added that it was
"peculiar" that such pur¬
ported peace plans are
published in Jerusalem
"when we don't have any
peace plans in Washington."
But well-placed Israeli
sources, while not
questioning the formal
accuracy of the Am¬
bassador's denial, tended to
believe that the content of
the ideas reported in
Haaretz did to a large degree
reflect, current thinking in
the State Department. "
According to Haaretz,
which' did not identify its
sources, the elements of the
U.S, working papers are:
. Israel will be called upon
very shortly to specify'
precisely its demands on the
"future   of   the   peace,"
