PLO Takes Seal: Bombs Found
UNITED NATIONS, N.Y. - In top photo, Farouk
Kaddoumi, representative of the Palestine Liberation
Organization (PLO), walks toward his seat after the
United Nations Security Council voted to allow the
PLO to participate, with the rights of a U.N. member
nation, in the Council's debate on the Middle East. The
vote was ILto 1, with only the United States voting
against the proposal. Israel has announced that it
would not ask to take part in the debate.

next to the U.N. headquarters just hours before the
Security Council began its debate on the Mid-East.
Police were able to disarm the bombs, which they say
could have inflicted injuries in a radius of SO feet. No
group or individual has claimed responsibility for
planting the explosives.

UNITED      NATIONS,
(JTA)       —      Prospects
increased that the Arabs and
their supporters will come
up    with    a    relatively
moderate draft resolution in
the current Security Council
debate on the Middle East
which the U.S. would find
difficult to veto on grounds
that   it   impairs   progress
toward peace and  which,
according to sources here, is
aimed  at  creating  a   rift
between Israel and the U.S.
The anticipated  resolution
would ask for recognition of
the "national rights of the
Palestinians" and  thereby
open   the   way   for   PLO
participation -    at        a
reconvened    Geneva
conference, the sources Said.
Meanwhile,    an    Israeli
official   confirmed   to   the
Jewish Telegraphic Agency
that     Security     Council
President   Salim   Ahmed
. Salim of Tanzania, has. been
hi contact with Israel's UN
Ambassador Chaim Herzog
urging him to participate in
the Council  debate  which
Israel is boycotting because
of the presence of the PLO.
The Council voted 11 - 1 on
Jan. 12 to seat the PLO
v delegation. The U.S. cast the
only negative vote. Britain,
France and Italy abstained.
The vote was procedural and
not' subject  to  veto.   The
delegates    who    favored
■ admitting   the   PLO   to
participation with the rights
of  a   UN   member   state
except the right to vote,
explained, that their position
was  based on what they
Abzug Denies Claim of Anti-Israel Or
Anti-Semitic Trend In Women's Liberation
\
i
By David Friedman
NEW YORK, (JTA) -
Rep. Bella Abzug (D. NY)
strongly rejected Jan. 15 a
claim that there was an anti-
' Semitic or anti-Israel trend
in the women's liberation
movement. "I know of no
evidence of it and if there
were evidence, it (anti-
Semitism) would be
crushed," she told some 100
women attending a day-long
conference on Zionism
sponsored by the American
Zionist Federation at the
America Israel Friendship
House. Abzug, a leader of the
feminist movement, was
challenged on' the < anti-
Semitism issue after she
spoke about the
Internationa] Women's Year
Conference in Mexico City
which she attended as an
official Congressional
observer. She said the clause
in the "Declaration of
Mexico" calling for the
elimination of Zionism was
not a feminist measure but
was adopted by delegates
who represented
governments, not women,
at the United Nations-
sponsored conference in
Mexico City. Several women
told Abzug that they had
found anti-Semitic and anti-
Zionist ideology expressed at
local feminist meetings.
They charged that Judaism
was being blamed' for
oppressing women.
I have never seen or heard
what you described," Abzug
replied, noting that she has a
strong consciousness both as
a woman and a Jew and
would recognize any anti-
Semitic trend. She said there
are probably anti-Semites in
the women's movement just
as there is in society as a
whole but stressed that the
movement's leaders such as
Karen DeCrow, president of
the National Organization of
Women, have strongly
condemned the anti-Zionist
moves by the United Nations
General Assembly. Faye
Schenk, president of the
AZF, said if the women who
raised the question found an
anti-Semitic trend in local
organizations, it was up to
them to oppose it personally
on the local level. Rachel
Jacobs, executive director of
(CONTINUED ON PAGE 12)
regarded as "precedents"
for such action. U.S.
Ambassador Daniel P.
Moynihan, however, insisted
that the seating of the PLO
was "illegal" because the
PLO was not a state, did not
recognize Israel and did not
accept Security Council
Resolutions 242 and 338 as
the basis of peace
negotiations.
Shortly before midnight on
Jan.  13 two bombs  were
discovered at the Iraqi UN
Mission. -Police   sources
indicated they were similar
to  the  three pipe  bombs
discovered at the entrance to
a   subway   service   tunnel
under   the   UN   library
building Jan. 12. The two
bombs at the Iraqi Mission
were    found    after    an
anonymous      caller
telephoned   WCBS-TV   at
11:08 p.m. that there were
bombs at the Mission. The
caller,   a   man,   identified
himself as a representative
of the "Jewish Underground
Army." More than'an Hour
' later, CBS radio received a
call from a man who said he
represented the "Jewish
Armed Resistance Strike
Movement" of the Jewish
Defense League. The caller,
apparently unaware that the
bombs had been discovered
and    dismantled,     said,
according to CBS' sources,
"We would like to accept
responsibility     for     the
bombing    of - the    Iraqi
Mission." He also said "We
would also like to say it is
quite possible several more
bombs are placed around the
city. W« are not saying this
is definite but the UN had
better  watch out."  the
bombs at the Iraqi Mission
were found propped against
a   door   leading   to   the
Mission's    basement
entrance.   According   to
police, they were wrapped in
black plastic sheeting and
were    concealed    in    a
shopping bag. Seven persons
in the building at the time
were evacuated. Meanwhile,
a UN spokesman announced
that   three   more   bomb
threats were telephoned to
the UN.
The Council sessions are
expected to be presented
shortly with either
amendments to Resolutions
242 and 338 or additional
provisions which will call not
only for the recognition of
Palestinian rights but for
PLO participation < at
Geneva. The new proposals
may also demand Israel's
withdrawal from all
occupied territories within
one year and a return to its
pre-June, 1967 borders under
penalty of UN sanctions. Still
another possible resolution
is one calling for the creation
of a Palestinian state on the
West Bank and Gaza Strip,
sources said. If the U.S. finds
itself unable to veto all of
these possible resolutions,
Israel, would be more
diplomatically isolated than
ever before, which,
apparently, is the Arab aim,
the sources said. The U.S.
has'said it would veto any
resolution that it sees as
impairing progress toward
peace. It may thus block a
measure calling for Israel's
evacuation from all occupied
territories since Resolution
242 does not make such a
demand, at least as it is
interpreted by the U.S. and
other Western countries and
Israel. It calls only for
Israel's eventual withdrawal
from "territories" within the
framework of a peace
settlement. The resolution
also does not mention the

Hadassah Donor Event Will
Be Jan. 25 At Playhouse
Chapter President Beverly
Shafran and Donor
Chairman ■ Barbara
Weingrad have announced
that the 1976 Annual
Hadassah Donor Event will
take place Jan. 25 at 6 p.m.
at the Country Dinner
Playhouse, Tussing Rd.,
Reynoldsburg. The
evening's events will consist
of a cocktail party, combo,
buffet dinner and the
dynamic show "1776," which
has played to standing room
only crowds since the
beginning of December.
The donor event is the
culmination of an extensive
campaign to raise money for
two hospitals, led by
solicitations chairman.
Carta Paine. All donations
go 100% to Hadassah
projects in Israel. A donation
of $36.00 as a donor or $60.00
as a patron enables one to
attend this event. The
couvert for the evening's
activities will be $10.00 per
person. Mrs. Abe Shatz, 84
N. Merkle Rd. is in charge of
reservations. Transporta¬
tion Chairman is Mrs.
Jack'Stone.
"Linked Together For the
Good of All," the theme for
the Hadassah Annual Donor
Campaign .was chosen for
the significant emphasis it
places  upon  Hadassah's
work and for the dream of
Hadassah Women, that they
may in some way bridge the
gap of terrorism and war in
the Middle East by healing
and teaching both Arab and
Jew. Hadassah has been
alive and well in Columbus
for fifty-eight years,' and
during America's
Bicentennial year it seems
very apropos that Hadassah
should have, -a "Re-
Birthday," which took place
in Jerusalem on "Mt.
Scopus," with the
rededication of their "First
Hill of Healing."
Working under the capable
leadership of Carla Paine
