In his letter, Mann explained that the Presidents Conference has sought a meet- Full Scale Letter And Telegram Campaign Recommended To Be Mobilized By Cols. - In response to the Carter Administration's recently adopted posture as an open advocate, for Egypt in the peace negotiating process, the Community Relations -Committee of the Columbus Jewish Federation has recommended thatra full-scale letter ..and telegram campaign be mobilized^to the White House by our community. This -recommendation is based on an assessment of the meeting held by " Ted Mann, Chairman of the National Jewish. Community Advisory Council, in his capacity as Chaiman of the Conference of Presidents of' Major Jewish Organizations, and a delegation of Jewish leaders including Rabbi Israel Miller; American Jewish Congress President, Howard Squadron; ADL National Chairman, Maxwell Greenberg; and Zionist Federation President, Rabbi Joseph Sternstein, who met recently for lengthy brief ings and discussions with top State Department officials, including Secretary Vance, Assistant Secretary Saunders, and "Special Afru? bas-ador Atherton. The NJCRAC Strategy Committee, in assessing the State Department meetings, has called for the highest priority to be given to community efforts aimed at securing authoritative and significant expressions of support for Israel from all sectors of the general community;. The Community Relations Committee of the Columbus Jewish Federation.concurs with the NJCRAC assessment and recommends that the community step up the campaign to include letters and telegrams to the White House. "The Administration is being unfair and onesided in rebuking Israel for rejecting the new-Egyptian demands which are inconsistent with the Camp David framework," said N. Victor Good- Melton Center At OSU To Sponsor Holocaust Course At Jewish Center The Melton Center for Jewish Studies at The Ohio State University announce- that it will sponsor a nine- week, non-credit course, beginning Thurs., Jan. 11, at 8 p.m., at the Columbus Jewish center. The title of the bourse is "The Holocaust: *rhe Nazi Extermination of -Six Million European Jews," and it will be taught by Dr. > Marc' Lee • Raphael, associate professor of Jewish history at OSU. The course will include a discussion of the historical roots and causes of the Holo- ,(#ust; an understanding of ', the Nazi practice of genocide and strategies of extermination, an examination of the h Dr. Marc Raphael victim's responses, and a probing of the responses to the Holocaust by the Church, western governments, and theologians. In addition to the lectures, there will be films, poetry selections and original sources and documents utilized during each session. Dr. Raphael has written three books "Modern Jewish History"; "Jews and Jusaism in a Midwestern Community: Columbus, Ohio 1840-1975"; Wnd "Understanding American .Jewish Philanthropy", /numerous scholarly and popular articles, and teaches a course on The Holocaust at "OSU. ^\ . / Registration' information may be obtained from the Melton Center for Jewish Studies by calling 422-0967. man, CRC vice-chairman. "When Israel agreed three weeks ago to the U:S. package, the Administration made no comment.

Mann said the members of the Presidents Conference have therefore asked him "to communicate our concern" to the President by letter. Mann stressed that "Egypt, not Israel, has sought to reopen and alter the draft treaty advanced by the United States on Nov. 21 .. . The^rfianner in which the blame was placed on Israel by our country was distressing." Mann stressed that "No sovereign state with any sense of its own self-worth could be expected to accept such pressure- Pressure which flies in the lace of yoyr own wise and significant assurances 'hat our country would never re- Byrd (D.-,-W.Va:->7 on his recent trip to the*Middle east, threaten Israel with a cut-off ofU.S.aid." "It seems extraordinary," continued Mr. Goodman, "that Israel should be accused of bad faith ior rejecting the Egyptian efforts to extract concessions beyond whatwas agreed to at Camp David, ft is regrettable that President Carter has apar- ently lent his support to these 'new Egyptian demands. Peace is still possible—if the United States returns'to its role as mediator rather than as the advocate of Egypt," concluded Mr. Goodman. , The CRC is recommending that all concerned individuals and ..their organizations immediately undertake a letter and telegram campaign which reflects the following four points; Mattn.chargedHhat Israel is being asked to accept "mueh less" than a real peace. "The treaty alterations demanded by Egypt and supported by the United States permit Egypt to retain the option to make war on Israel and make the implementation of the treaty conditional on agreement over the terms of "autonomy for the- Palestinian Arabs in the West; .Bank—Gaza territories." Mann stressed ,to Carter that "We still _hope for an opportunity to meet with you and offer any assistance we can in the effort lo bring peace to the Middle Easf." Meanwhile, a State Department official has sent a letter to Rabbi Moshe Feinstein, president of the Union of Orthodox Rabbis of the United States ahd Canada, asserting lhat the U.S. has "no intention of imposing our own suggestions on c. her of the parties" in the Egyptian-Israeli negotiation. .
