By David Landau JERUSALEM (JTA) - Premier Menachem Begin confirmed this afternoon that he and Foreign Minister Moshe Dayan have postponed their visit to Washing^ ton for a week as a result of yesterday's terrorist massacre. He' affirmed that the outrage need not affect the current Middle East peace process. He said the White House would announce shortly a new date for his meetings with President Carter that were to have begun this Tuesday. Begin-Carter Talks To Focus On Council Resolution 242 JERUSALEM (WNS) - The simmering differences between Israel and the United States over a number of vital issues,-including. Israeli settlements on the West Bank, the Palestinian issue and the interpretation of United Nations . Security . Council Resolution 242, may come to a head when Premier Menachem Begin of Israel and President Carter meet in Washington. Of Campaign Report UjF Drive Raises Approx. $2,300,000 To Date The 1978 United Jewish Fund Campaign has raised approximately $2,300,000 to date, according to B. Lee Skilken, general campaign chairman. This figure represents over a 12% increase on a card-to-card basis when compared to- last year's campaign. "If this pace continues, Columbus will undoubtedly top its announced goal of $3 million," Skilken Stated. The 1977 UJFC raised approximately $2.72 million. Skilken urges every Columbus Jewish resident who has not made a contribution to this year's fundraising drive to do so now! The needs or Jews in Columbus, nationally, and overseas continue to multiply and costs increase on a daily basis. Therefore, it -is imperative -that every Jew accepts his f B.Lee Skilken responsibility to help our brethren the world ovpr live in peace and dignity, he said.' The various divisions of the campaign have been actively involved in educating their members on the1 increased needs of the Jewish people as well as doing the (CONTINUED ON PAGE5) these issues, the Israeli government's interpretation of 242 loomed as the most serious issue that will be taken up during-the meeting of the two chief executives. In addition,- a major source of concern for Begin is on the home front where he faces a split within his Cabinet on the settlement issue and strong criticism from the opposition Labor Alignment over his reading of 242. Meanwhile, Assistant Secretary of State Alfred L. - Atherton ended the current phase of his shuttle diplomacy in the Middle East and flew back to, Washington without coming perceptibly closer to a joint declaration of principles acceptable to both Israel and Egypt. He also failed, for the time being at least, to persuade Jordan to join the Israeli-. Egyptian peace, process. Atherton had a final meeting with Begin and Foreign Minister Moshe Dayan Mar. 7 at which he briefed them on the results of his latest talks with President Anwar Sadat of Egypt in Cairo the day before. Atherton made no statement to reporters when he landed at Ben Gurion Air- • port. But before taking off from Cairo he indicated that some progress had been made in "narrowing, the gaps" between Israel and Egypt "with respect to a comprehensive peace settlement in the Middle East." He indicated he would be returning to the region after the Carter-Begin talks. Other American, officials told reporters in the Egyptian capital that some movement had been made toward narrowing the differences over. .Israeli-. withdrawal, from occupied Arab territories but that the issue of self-determination for the Palestinians "are about where they were." On his latest shuttle from Jerusalem to Cairo, Atherton delivered a personal letter from Begin to Sadat. It was Begin's reply to a letter (CONTINUEDON PAGE 5) At a press conference after today's Cabinet meeting, Begin said that 11 terrorists were believed to have carried out the attack which was sea-borne from bases in Lebanon, that six were killed, two captured and three unaccounted _ for- and believed to be a't large somewhere in central Israel. He said the curfew imposed on. the greater Tel Aviv area to protect the civilian population would remain in effect until all terrorists were rounded up. The dawn-to- dusk curfew affects some 300,000 persons. It was lifted from 2-5 p.m. local • time Mar. 12 to enable people to go shopping. Begin said that 37- Israeli civilians died in the terrorist assault and 76 were injured, including nine policemen, some of them critically. A later report put the number of injured at 82 and indicated ' that there may be additional fatalities. An army spokesman said Mar. 12 that 29 of ..the .injured ha,yejbeen discharged from hospitals. Begin stressed that the killers came from El Fatah, "the main constituent of the so-called PLO," that the attack originated from terrorist bases in Lebanon and was master-minded by "Abu Jihad," the pseudonym of the terrorist who heads. El FatatTs military arm. Sylvia Schecter To Receive First life With Dignity' Award Justice Leonard Stern, Chairman of the Selection Committee for the Eleanor and Jack Resler "Life with Dignity" Award, announced that the first recipient of this annual award is Mrs. Joseph (Sylvia) Schecter. Justice Stern stated that the Selection Committee unanimously agreed that Syl- ,via Schecter Exemplifies the criteria set forth "in the Resolution of the Board; that of "providing loving care and "Life with Dignity" to the Residents of Heritage House and emulates in her own life the support of Heritage House." 'The "Life with Dignity" Award will be presented to Mrs. Schecter by Eleanor and Jack, Resler at the Sixteenth 'Annual Meeting of Heritage House to be held Mrs. Joseph Schecter this Sunday, Mar. 19 at 1:30 p.m. Mrs. Schecter's involvement with the needs of the Jewish elderly of Columbus began with the Woodland Avenue Home. At that time, (CONTINUED ON PAGE ID Begin side-stepped repeated questions about possible retaliatory action by Israeli forces. "Such a question cannot be answered," he told one reporter, adding, "What I can say is that those who kill Jews in our time cannot enjoy impunity." He said there had been no appeal from the U.S. to Israel to show restraint and not launch massive reprisals. He repeated several times that Israel "would not forget" yesterday's slaughter. An army spokesman denied a BBC report of a retaliatory air raid on Lebanon. He said no Israeli planes carried out any action across Israel's borders. Begin said, in reply to questions that all aspects of the security forces' preparedness and how they handled the attack once it begun would be "examined." Questions have been raised in the Israeli media as to how the terrorists penetrated Israel's sea defenses and their progress along themain Tel Aviv-Haifa highway in a hijacked bus and the final shoot-out at a roadblock near Tel Aviv when the tous was set afire. Begin revealed that 25 of the dead were found in the bus, their bodies charred almost beyond recognition. The Premier was grim and at an emotional pitch when he addressed the reporters. ■ He denounced the PLO and - the Soviet Union which, he said, supports and arms- them, in equal terms, likening both to the Nazis in their determination to destroy Jews. The PLO, he noted, is headed by Yasir Arafat who was accorded recognition by the United Nations and applauded in the General Assembly. He called on the entire world "to stop and think" about this, saying it only confirmed what Israel has been arguing for "years — that the PLO is a Nazi movement ... the basest, ever to arise . .. whose sole aim is to kill Jews." "They -never attack military installations," he said. "They come to kill civilians . ..
