Leader Urges Action Against Neo-Naiism
BONN, (JTA)—The Chairman of West Berlin's. Jewish
community, the largest in Germany, urged West European
leaders to take coordinated, decisive action against the
spread of neo-Nazi violence. The community leader, Heinz
Galinski, made his statement in the aftermath of the fatal
bombing of a synagogue in Paris and of the rash of rightwing
"terror in France, West Germany and Italy.
Galinski charged that the French authorities were too soft
Jri dealing with anti-Semitism. He has been warning for some
time against rightwing and leftwing terrorism in Europe.
.West German police have uncovered terrorist plots against
him and other Jewish leaders.
Palestinian Arab Is Chief Suspect
PARIS, (JTA)—French police are looking for a Palestinian
Arab with a Cypriot passport as the likeliest suspect in last
Friday night's bomb attack against a Paris synagogue. The
police say they have conclusive evidence that the man, whose
identity was not revealed, bought the motorcycle which
-carried the bomb used in the attack. Four people died in the
explosion and 33 more were injured.
'Formal'Autonomy Talks To Resume
. WASHINGTON, (JTA)—Discussions will be , resumed
"formally" on West Bank-Gaza autonomy starting on an unspecified date this week in Washington, the State Department said last week. The announcement appeared to contradict official Egyptian reports that the talks will be resumed
liere Oct. 14, but only to discuss "modalities" on how; to
proceed with the negotiations that Egypt broke off in August.

WASHINGTON, (JTA)—President Carter has signed into
law legislation authorizing the permanent continuation of the
U.S.. Holocaust Memorial Council, saying it "should
" symbolize" America's commitment against allowing "such a
crime' against decency, civility and humanity" to occur

without dissent, will bring about the establishment of a
permanent national museum in Washington and annual
national observances of the Holocaust.

iegin: Israel Takes 'Grave' View of New Pact
By David Landau and
Yitzhak Shargil
JERUSALEM,
(JTA)—Premier Menachem
Begin said that Israel takes
a "grave" view of the new
Soviet-Syrian friendship and
military cooperation pact
and of "the growing Jordanian involvenlent in the Iraqi
war efforts" against Iran.
Speaking to reporters at
the Defense Ministry, Begin
said it was safe to assume
that Syria and the Soviet
Union have signed a secret
agreement that parallels
their publicly signed accord.
He contended that this
affected the entire free
world and that he would
discuss it with President
Carter when they meet in
Washington next month.
Israeli analysts said that
President Hafez Assad of
Syria apparently decided
that he had to enter into a"
formal pact with the Soviets,
something he hesitated to do
before, because the Iraqi-
Iranian war left Syria
isolated ' among the Arab
states, air of which except
Libya, are supporting Iraq.
Because of Syria's long-
-standihg'rivaify-with* Iraq;'
Assad also may have felt he
could not allow Iraq to draw
closer to Moscow as a result
of the war.
But the Israelis believe it
is altogether unlikely that
Syria would join the war by
taking military action
against Iraq. This is because
Iraq has portrayed the war
as an Arab struggle against
non-Arab power and Assad,
heading a minority Alawite
Moslem regime, could
hardly cast his lot with the
non-Arab side in actual
combat.
With respect to Jordan's
assistance to Iraq, Begin
suggested that there is a
danger that the Iraqis will
sell Soviet war equipment to
Jordan as a gesture of gratitude and "this would present
a direct danger to us.*' He
implied that the U.S. should
cancel its proposed sale of
tanks to Jordan. Deputy Premier Yigael Yadin also
warned that King Hussein of
Jordan was making a
serious mistake when he
joined Iraq against Iran.
Meanwhile, the Jordanian
port of Aqaba is a scene of
heavy activity. But Israeli
circles believe that Amman
is simply trying to impress
the world that its backing for
Iraqi is in earnest. They
point out that so far, only one
Iraqi-flag ship with war
material—from an Eastern
European country—discharged cargo at Aqaba. It is
believed to have consisted of
anti-aircraft guns and
ammunition. Nevertheless,
Jordan has become a supply
route for Iraq, avoiding the
Persian Gulf and the Iranian
navy. But a shortage of
trucks io carry the equipment from Aqaba to Bagdad
has caused a bottleneck and
the cargos are piling up on
the Aqaba docks.
Israeli military planners
are taking account of the
possibility that the Iraqi-Jordan relationship will lead to
heightened tension between
Jordan and Syria. Israel is
Noted fimmmi Mmmlk To
deeply troubled by Jordan's
logistical support for Iraq
which could broaden into a
full-fledged alliance and
King Hussein's increasingly
h3rd line and warlike
statements in recent months
aimed at Israel. The Jordan-
Jan media has'referred to the
Persian Gulf war as a prelude to the "purification of
Jerusalem from the infidel."
TheJU.S. and Britain have
already warned Jordan-
against any serious
involvement in the Persian
Gulf war.
(On a BBC television
interview, Hussein
confirmed that his army has
been put on a state oTalert
and that supplies were
reaching Iraq by way' of
Aqaba. However, he said,
there were "no imminent

Tufeld, a noted Jtussian Re-
fusenik. >
Tufeld, son of promient
Moscow activists, Vladimir
and Isadole Tufeld, decided
to emigrate to Israel as a
teenager. A participant in
—Jewish* activities, '-he-was-
beaten up after leaving the
Moscow synagogue in 1973
while two Russian policemen
, looked'on. Jn 1976, Igor was
arrested and served a 15-day
sentence for "holligatiism"
for participating in a
demonstration to protest the
denial of visas .to Refuseniks.
In 1977, Igor received his
exit visa! He now lives in
Jerusalem, where he studies
International Relations at_
the Hebrew University and"
campaigns for the release of
his - parents and other
Refuseniks.
His father, Vladimir, has
been  demoted  five   times
g from his position as an elec-
* trical engineer when he
became a Refusenik because
-he has refused to capitulate
to his superiors demands
that he resign. Instead, Tufeld protested in writing to
Soviet authorities that he
was forced to leave because
of his desire to live in Israel.
As officially sanctioned
harassment of the Tufelds
- continues, Vladimir faces
another, more deadly,
"Catch 22" situation. Recently hospitalized following
a suspected heart attack, the
hospital administration successfully ejected him and
withheld needed medical
treatment when his Refusenik status was discovered.
Tufeld has received
neither proper medication
nor written confirmation of
his illness from the hospital,
resulting ih the institution of
legal' proceedings by supervisors who charge that Tufeld is feigning illness. In ad-
