WASHINGTON, (JTA) -
The United States govern¬
ment obliquely appeared to
take comfort in what did not
happen over the Labor Day
weekend at the meeting in
Cairo of Arab foreign
'ministers. The ministers
agreed on a general strategy
for pressing the United Na¬
tions General Assembly,
which begins its 32nd session
Sept. 20, to impose-severe
strictures on Israel but re¬
portedly" rejected a move to
suspend Israel from the
world body.
State Department spokes¬
man Hodding Carter refused
to discuss the Cairo meeting.
However, the Voice of
America (.VOA), which
takes policy guidance from
'Body & Soul-Ethics' To Be Discussed
During 19th Religious Emphasis Week
The Beth Jacob Congrega¬
tion, under the leadership of
Rabbi David Stavsky, is
proud to announce that for
the 19th consecutive year
-Beth-Jacob .will .host a Reli-.

(R.E.W.) program. This na¬

provides the entire Colum¬
bus community with an op¬
portunity to listen to and
question outstanding speak¬

As has been true-in the
past, this year's topic "Body
and Soul — Ethics" forces
the community, along with
the expert speakers, to con¬
front several controversial
problems. Issues such as
"pulling the plug," "inform¬
ing the patient of death,"
"testing of drugs on humans

It' is the purpose of the
Synagogue community to
seek Torah advice and wis¬
dom in handling such prob¬
lems. It is with this in mind
that Beth Jacob will wel¬
come Dr. Moses Tendler, a
professor at Yeshiva Col¬
lege. In addition to an inter¬
national reputation in cancer
research, Dr. Tendler is a
professor of Talmud at the
university; which, is affili¬
ated with the Rabbi Isaac
Elchanan Theological Semi¬
nary.
He has published more
than 50 articles on science
and religion and is a mem¬
ber of 14 professional organi¬
zations concerned with as¬
pects of. both subjects. Dr.
Tendler has not viewed reli¬
gion as.one part of his life
and biomedical research as
another, but has thoroughly
explored his religious teach¬
ings in an attempt to deter¬
mine how to handle the kinds
of problems raised in today's
sophisticated biomedical
professions.

Israel Shows Coo/ Reaction
Jo Latest Arab Resolutions
By David Landau
, JERUSALEM, (JTA) — Officials here reacted with
studied calm Sept. 6 to reports of a series of tough deci¬
sions taken by the Arab foreign ministers who met in
Cairo last week. Apparently there was a conscious de^
cision here not to engage in vituperative public ex¬
changes so soon before the foreign ministers of the
Mideast area go to New York and Washington later this
month to hold talks with President Carter and Secre¬
tary of State Cyrus Vance.
The Arab foreign ministers urged the upcoming
United Nations General Assembly to take strong mea¬
sures against Israel and intend to urge the world body
to condemn Israel's settlement policy in the occupied
territories. They have also approved a draft resolution
asking the UN to call on member states' to halt military
and economic aid to Israel; urging the restoration of
all rights of the Palestinian people including their right
to return, self-determination and the creation of a
Palestinian state.        .

Israeli Draft Of
Received, Arab
By Joseph Polakoff
WASHINGTON, (JTA) -
The United States acknowl¬
edged Sept. 7 that it has re¬
ceived proposals from Israel
to settle the Middle East con¬
flict and indicated its ex¬
pectations that the Arab go¬
vernments will submit
drafts for, discussion here
and in New York beginning
after the middle of this
month.
State Department spokes-
' man Hodding Carter said
PjeacpJ*lan Is
Proposals Due
Israel's   draft  was   trans¬
mitted "relatively receritly"
and that while none has yet
come from the Arabs, "it is-
entirely possible" that they •
will be forthcoming. He said
that Secretary of State Cyrus
Vance had asked the Middle .
East nations  to "give  us'
their ideas on the whole
range of negotiations."
With the Arab, Israeli and
Soviet foreign ministers to
meet with President Carter
and Vance, beginning in the

script obtained by the
Jewish Telegraphic Agency
did not identify the observ¬
ers.
The VOA noted that "what
did not happen" in Cairo was
"a rejection of continuing
American efforts to find a ■
. solution both the Arabs and
Israelis can live with. That
kind of stance would have
also included a campaign to
convince the UN member¬
ship* that Israel' in effect
ought to be declared a pariah
state. Also rejected was the
argument, advanced by
some of the conferees, that
the Arab states and the
Palestine Liberation Organi¬
zation   Should   look   away
' from Washington and de¬
pend mostly on the Soviet
Union."
That, the VOA continued,
"would have amounted to a
statement that the U.S. can¬
not move the Israelis who.
have undeniably hardened
■ the] Middle East situation by
legalizing"   Jewish   settle-'
ments on the West Bank.
The . Arab foreign
ministers, the VOA added,
"agreed' on a campaign ..to
, convince theTTfiJ-members to
halt all military and
economic aid to Israel unless
Israel publicly changes its
stance on the occupied terri¬
tories and a homeland for
Palestinian Arabs." Presi¬
dent Carter two weeks ago
told a news conference that
he had "no intention" of tak¬
ing such measures against
Israel.
The VOA also noted that
the "more moderate position
leaves at least some room
for negotiations" and that
there will be "surely plenty
of that during the UN session
when  Arabs  and  Israelis
