All seats were filled and there was a long waiting list, airline sources said. The national air carrier had been grounded since September, except for a scattering of cargo flights, and was placed in the hands of a temporary receiver pending a decision whether to liquidate it or reorganize it on a more efficient basis. A far- reaching agreement between Histadrut, the receiver and management made the.resumption of service possible. But it was' by no means certain that the airline's new schedule would be me.t or that other flights would follow. Toronto Plans Holocaust Museum MONTREAL (JTA)—The designer of a Holocaust museum for Toronto, which will cost an estimated $750,000, said it will be the first to deal with the Holocaust in the context of the sweep of Jewish history, Morley Markson, the designer, said the projected Holocaust museum will celebrate the history of the Jews from the days of the patriarchs and will pay tribute to Israel, Jewish culture, customs and religion. Jewish Leaders Meet With Paris Mayor To Express Concern Over Anti-Semitism NEW YORK (JTA)-A delegation of American Jewish leaders, representing the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations, met with Mayor Jacques Chirac of Paris recently to express their concern over terrorism and anti-Semitism in France and their solidarity^with the policies of the Israeli government, many of which are opposed by the French government. Chirac answered their questions and explained his own positions. The .interview, at Chirac's Hotel Carlyle suite, was arranged through Mayor Edward Koch of New York and Israeli Consul And Trade Commissioner Calls For Increased Business Dealings With Israel his aides. Kock was Chirac's guest in Paris in 1978. He is a prominent figure in French national politics which go beyond the office of Paris Mayor. The 15-member delegation of the Presidents Conference made it clear that they are dismayed over manifestations of anti-Jewish terrorism and anti-Semitism in France in recent months, particularly since Israel's campaign in Lebanon. Chirac insisted that anti- Semitism is virtually nonexistent in France. He said only a fraction of one percent, of the French population could be called anti-Semitic and that French Jews are regarded as Frenchmen without qualification. By Judith Franklin /.".'. Chronicle News Editor Shmuel Ben-Tovirri, 'Consul and Trade Commissioner to the United States and director of the Government of Israel Trade Center (G.I.T.C.), was Tn Columbus recently to promote trade with and investments in Israel. for investments in Israel.

The Israel Chamber of Commerce would establish a channel of communication between business people in Israel and their Columbus counterparts, he explained, and would disseminate information about opportunities calling address for people seeking information," he added. Columbus business people and Israel are not strangers, he noted. Many, a bank included, are already doing business with Israel. Ben-Tovim feels that the benefits of such associations are great. He pointed out that Israel, compared with other countries, has a very high percentage of skilled labor that is not as expensive as in the United States. Israel, holding numerous agreements which allow for duty free export of goods, is also an ideal distribution center for marketing products to European and other countries, he said. Moreover, he noted that, while the Israeli market itself is not huge, by any standard, it can still be very profitable and should not be overlooked. The government of Israel is anxious to promote trade agreements, Ben-Tovim said, and "offers incentives such as tax concessions and other financial programs to reduce the cost and risk of financial investments." U,S. interest in Israeli industry already exists, he pointed out, as evidenced by last year's $1.25 billion In Israeli exports to this country, up 30 percent over the previous year, in spite of the recession. He would like to encourage business people, especially those in the Jewish community, to expand existing philanthropic relationships with Israel into business ones. He gry again. Instead, teach him to fish. Then he will never starve."

Chirac recalled that he had received Mayor Teddy Kollek of Jerusalem on a four day official visit to Paris last year despite opposition from the French government and protests from the Arab diplomatic corps. Concedes Terrorism. Is A Problem Chirac conceded that terrorism was a problem and said he has been trying, during the past six years, to persuade previous governments and the present government of Socialist President Francois Mitterrand, to act more vigorously against "We went to the Jewish terrorism, but without much ' (CONTINUED ON PAGE 3) SUCCeSS. ' ' The Jewish' delegation stressed the strong-support in the American Jewish com- . munity for Israel's opposition to a Palestinian state, its rejection of the Palestine Liberation Organization as a participant in the Middle East peace process and its assertion that Jewish settlements in the occupied territories are neither illegal nor an obstacle to peace. They reiterated support for Israel's position that Jerusalem must remain a united city under Israel's sovereignty. They expressed dismay over continued Arab refusal to come to the peace table with Israel. They said this was the overriding impediment to peace. They also expressed continued support for the Camp David peace process which the French government has dismissed as no longer viable. Chirac agreed on the PLO. He said he had never met with PLO chief Yasir Arafat, opposed such a meeting and also opposed the opening of a PLO office in France. He said he regarded himself as a great friend of Israel but he does not agree with the policies of Premier Menachem Begin's government. According to Chirac, there must be an end to settement in the occupied territories. French Ex-Cabinet Minister Charged With War Crimes to documents on which the charges are based.
