Relations Reviewed Between America & PLO

WASHINGTON (JTA) -~
Although the Palestine
Liberation Organization has
^two offices in New York with
U.S. official consent and U.S.
Embassy officials in Beirut
are in communication with
the PLO terrorists there, the
State Department insists
that the United States does
not "recognize" the PLO.
This developed when the
Jewish Telegraphic Agency
asked the Department to
clarify its written response
of about 350 words to a pre¬
vious JTA question regard¬
ing reported fund-raising in
the U.S. by the PLO. The
statement noted that the
PLO established an "infor¬
mation office" in New York
in 1965 and registered with
the U.S. Justice Department
at that time as "a foreign
agent." ■'
It files reports every six
months with the Justice
Department, the response
said. The PLO observer
office, on the other hand,
was set up under a UN Gen-
- eral Assembly resolution. It
"is not reigstered with Jus¬
tice and rteed not be," the
State Department said.
Since the end of June, U.S.
officials have been in contact
with the PLO in Lebanon for
.""purposes ' of protecting
Americans at the Embassy
there, U.S. authorities have
said.
Asked by JTA whether the
contacts in Beirut,' together
with the PLO offices in New
c.York, add up to U..S. "de
'facto" if not "de jure" recog¬
nition of the PLO, the
Department's chief spokes¬
man Robert Funseth replied
"neither," He said the con¬
tacts did not constitute "sub¬
stantive" action of recog¬
nition.
, Columnists Jack Anderson
and Les Whitten reported on
Sept. 20, that the PLO re¬
ceived a check for $4984 from
persons in Virginia. The
PLO   observer   office   di-
- rector, Zuhdi Terzi, ad¬
mitted to them that he re¬
ceived the check, the colum¬
nists said, and that he for¬
warded it to Jacob Oubedi,
- the PLO's top fund-raiser in
Beirut:. •
' Oubedi, the 'columnists
said, signed a, thank you
note, written in Arabic on the
stationery of the PLO's UN
office and addressed to the
''Palestinian Committee in
theStateofVirginia."
Terzi also admitted, the

Ribicoff To Approach Sadat
Senators Minimize Israel's Ban
On Nuclear Reactor Plant Visit
By Gil Sedan
JERUSALEM, "(JTA) -
Sen. John Glenn (D. Ohio)
said Nov. .9 that "Israel
jprobably had her own rea¬
sons" for not allowing him
and ,12 fellow senators to
visit its nuclear reactor in
Dimona. The former astro-
columnists said, that" the
PLO funddrive reached into
many state's But" that" money
for. the PliO* was* scarce.
Funseth acknowledged as
'.'correct" that the PLO re¬
ceived the $4984.
The Department's . state¬
ment said the U.S". Mission to
the UN brought the matter to
the UN Secretariat's atten¬
tion and the U.S. Mission
itself "reviewed this matter
directly'' with Terzi.

General Assembly Adopts
Resolution Against Israel
Jan Peerce

UNITED    NATIONS,
(JTA)„ — The General. As¬
sembly adopted a resolution -
Nov. 9 condemning "the con- .
tinuing and increasing col¬
laboration by Israel .with the "
South    African    racist
regime." The vote was 91-20
" with'28 abstention^;
. IsraeLdid not participate
in the vote on that resolution.
L or on any of the nine other
resolutions dealing with
apartheid, as a protest •
against, the "selective and
dishonest process" of
singling out Israel's re¬
lations with the Pretoria '
government.    '«^ ,^
The 20 countries that voted
against the' anti-Israel
resolution were: Australia;
Austria; Belgium; Canada;
Denmark; France; Guate¬
mala; Honduras; Iceland;
Ireland; Italy; Luxem- '
bourg; The- Netherlands;
New Zealand; Nicaragua;
Norway;' Sweden; -United
Kingdom; United States;
and West Germany.
The resolution requested
the Secretary General to dis¬
seminate widely a special re¬
port by the special-commit¬
tee against apartheid on the
matter of Israel's relations
with South Africa. The Arab-
inspired resolution was the
culmination   of   repeated
. Arab attacks on Israel dur¬
ing the debate on apartheid
which began on Oct. 26.-
Israel's Ambassador to the
UN, Chaim Herzog, said in a
statement to the GeneraK
Assembly before the voting
that Israel would.not partici¬
pate in the voting on any of
the 10"apartheid resolutions.
He said this was because
the debate "hastoeen turned
into an- anti-Israel -issue, _
ignoring as it'does the major
moral problem of apartheid
which should be exercising
this body, because those who
prepared the resolution
against Israel (the Arabs)
are guilty of crimes with
which .they accuse-others;
because what we are called
upon to participate' in is a'
monstrous- act of deceit and
a cynical vote based on inter¬
national hypocrisy and un¬
scrupulous falsehood."
Herzog accused the Arabs
of turning the - debate on
apartheid-into a debate on
"the Middle East. He said the
Arabs have not the slightest
interest in advancing the
struggle against racial dis¬
crimination in the world and
that by their anti-Israel
drive, they prejudice "any
prospect to achieving con¬
sensus on what is close to the
hearts of the Africans."
Herzog reiterated that the
Arab states have economic
ties-with South Africa. He

and with Israel in particular,
were going to hinge on any
visit we make to Dimona,"
Glenn said. He said the pur¬
pose of the senators' trip to
Israel, Egypt and Iran was
to   discuss   problems'  of
"mutual interest." He said
he was  much more con- -
cerned  with   reaching  an
agreement between Israel
and her neighbors that would,
keep the area free of nuclear
weapons.
Glenn and Sen. Howard
Baker Jr. (R.-Tenn.) had ori¬
ginally requested permis¬
sion for the group to visit
Dimona from Washington
when the Middle East trip
was still in the planning /
stages. It was turned down
by Israel at that time but'the
senators repeated their- re¬
quest at a meeting with '-
Premier Yitzhak Rabin
when they arrived here.
Rabin said no. - -~
,. Israeli .officials explained ,
• that the refusal was a matter
of principle and that since
the Dimona reactor was
built with French know-how -
but no American assistance,
Israel did not feel obligated
to open it to inspection by the
American legislators.
Rabin was more flexible
when the senators raised the
question of Israel's refusal
so far to sign the inter¬
national   nuclear   non-pro- .

'You Don't Have To Be Jewish'
By Maurice Samuelson
LONDON, (JTA) — Every Sunday morning thou¬
sands of Jews here switch on their radios and prepare
to listen to a half hour of Jewish music, discussion arid
humor on Radio London. The audience represents only
apart of London's 200,000 Jews, but many of them have
become devoted followers of Michael Freedland. who
began the program five years ago. -
7 It is entitled "You Don't Have To Be Jewish", and
,Freedland claims that half the 300,000 people who tune
in are non-Jews. His program started shortly after the
_. BBC introduced local high frequency broadcasting in
theLondonarea. „   .        *
It is produced with the cooperation of the Board of"
Deputies of British Jews. However,.it is in noway a tool
of the Jewish establishment and also steers clear of the
more parochial controversies.
Over the past five years, Freedland has hosteda.dis-
" tJnguished collection of speakers, from former pre-,
- mieres Harold Wilson and Golda Meir to Lord Samuel,
the "Archbishop of Canterbury and Leon Rosten.
Although the program lacks a truly mass'following -r
because of wavelength rather than quality — it has be¬
come accepted as part of the London Jewish scene and
there would be a shrill outcry if it were to go off the air.
As well as covering the local scene, it keeps listeners
in touch with the rest of the Jewish world with just the
right mixture, of levity and solemnity. Freedland him¬
self is besf-when interviewing Jewish entertainers.
This is natural because of his special interest in them.
He is currently' writing1^ study of. Jewish entertainers ■.
to place alongjjide'his books op Irving Berlin, Al Jolson
• * and Sophie Tucker.
