Mitterrand Asks EEC To Investigate Syria PARIS (JTA) - President Francois Mitterrand said last week that France will not sell arms to Syria and called on the 12 member- state European Economic Community (EEC) to investigate Syria's possible participation in terrorist activities in Western Europe. Speaking at a nationally televised press conference, he said that if the charges against Syria are established, "there should be no compromise whatsoever with states that export terrorism abroad." Mitterrand said that if Syria's involvement was proved, "Europe should close ranks against crime and adopt special measures." Britain's Foreign Secretary Sir Geoffrey Howe had called for a ban on arms sales, the cancellation of economic aid and the recall of all European Ambassadors from Damascus. The Foreign Ministers of the EEC member states, who met last week in Luxembourg, failed to agree on joint action against Syria or even on the publication of a joint communique condemning Syria's alleged involvement in the attempt to blow up an El Al jet at London's Heathrow Airport last April. Eleven of the Ministers issued a statement expressing outrage but failed to mention Syria by name. Greece refused to approve even this watered-down communique. All joint EEC statements must be decided unanimously. Mitterrand called on the governments of the 12 na- (CONTINUED ON PAGE 9) International Red Cross Erects A Barrier To The Recognition Of Israel's Magen David Adom State Of Israel Bonds Holds Annual Golda Meir Luncheon GENEVA (JTA) - The International Red Cross Movement appears to have erected a permanent barrier against recognition of Israel's Magen David Adom (Red Shield of David) as a humanitarian agency by its decision last week to change its official title to the International Red Cross and Red ^Crescent Movement; Israel Jewish organizations The Golda Meir Club of State of Israel Bonds recently met at a luncheon as the guests of Eleanor Resler, Reva Shaman, Bella Wexner and Eleanore „.,ia _.

Representatives of Swedish Jewry had expressed concern recently over re- . ports in the Stockholm press that the government had re* ceived an asylum request from Linnas. The U.S. Department of State ruled last " year that Linnas was ineligible for asylum in the United States. Georg Andersson, Sweden's minister of immigration, in disclosing his govern ment's decision, stated that materials provided by the U.S. government showed that American courts "have _ conducted extensive inquiries which proved that Linnas had a leading role in a Nazi concentration camp." Noting that "war crimes cannot by compared to any other kind of criminal activity," Andersson declared that the Swedish government wanted it understood that "Sweden will not .and cannot become a haven for war criminals." ; Linnas, 67, is currently in federal custody in New York, pending a U.S..

Pinhas Eliav, the Israel . government delegate, said restriction of recognition to Christian and Moslem emblems means that Israel is excluded from the various international societies which coordinate aid for victims of natural disasters and armed conflict all over the world. He maintained that the Magen David Adom, which sent observers to the conference, fulfills all criteria for full membership, except for its emblem. Israel has been seeking full membership, to no avail, since the Red Cross Movement was reorganized in 1948-49, in the aftermath of World War II. Eliav, lddging- a strong dissent from the conference consensus, noted that the six-pointed Star of David was symbolic of Jewish history, creativity and Jewish suffering, as well as being a religious symbol, as are the cross and crescent. "To our regret, we encountered a lack of readiness and misunderstanding and even the same political hostility which was and still is manifested against the emancipation of the Jewish people as a nation," Eliav said. Non-' recognition of the Israeli symbol violates the principles of the international humanitarian movement, he said. He warned, that "the revised statutes will further aggravate the situation by crystallizing even more the imposition of two religious and civilizational emblems on our global humanitarian movement." Yehuda Amichai To Speak At Israel Open University Israels master poet, Yehuda Amichai, will be the speaker for the second Israel Open University program on Wednesday, Nov. 12, at 8 p.m. at the Leo Yassenoff Jewish Center. The Israel Open University, sponsored by the Israel Department of the Columbus Jewish Federation in cooperation with the Community College for Adult Jewish Studies, is continuing its series of programs focusing on different aspects of life in Israel. This; program will also be part' Of: the Jewish Center's Book Fair. Amichai has been accorded international recognition upprecedented for a modern Hebrew poet. Individual poems have been translated into more than 20 languages and volumes haye appeared in German, French, Swedish, Spanish, Catalan, as well as English. He has been voted a foreign honorary member of The American Academy and Institute of "Arts and Letters. Harper and Row has published The Selected Poetry of Yehuda ^Amichai, a repre sentation of all his published verse. He teaches literature and creative writing at the Hebrew University and makes frequent personal appearances abroad. "We are indeed fortunate to have someone uf Yehuda Amichai's stature lecture for the Israel Open University. We hope the public will take advantage of the exceptional opportunity," stated Judy Genshaft, chairwoman of the Israel Open University. This program is open to the entire community at no charged'5*'»' »V.:,: Another strong dissent was voiced by Daniel Lack, representative of the World Jewish Congress, which has observer status at the conference. "The use of the emblems associated in the eyes of many with the two great religions of Christianity and Islam enshrines the religious polarization that propels the emblem crisis into unprecedented proportions of gravity," he said. "The joint and exclusive use of the Red Cross and Red Crescent in the very title of the movement . . renders permanent an anomaly which contradicts the letter and the spirit of the Red Cross philosophy by ,the reciprocal and mutual reinforcement of these two signs as the symbol of religious polarization and exclu- sivism," Lack said. Orthodox, Reform In Co-operative Effort WASHINGTON (JTA) — The Orthodox Agudath Israel of America and the Reform Union of American Hebrew" Congregations (UAHC), in a rare cooperative effort, have helped ensure that persons wearing yarmulkes will never be barred from the Senate's visitors' galleries. The effort came about, according to David Luchins, an aide in the New York office of Sen. Daniel Moynihan (D. NY), after a constituent told Moynihan that a pass to the gallery he received from Moynihan's office barred persons wearing hats. This is not true in the House where the gallery passes read: "Hats may not be worn by gentlemen ex^ cept for religious reasons." Luchins told the Jewish Telegraphic Agency that no one wearing a yarmulke has ever been barred from the Senate galleries. This was pointed out also by Moynihan in a letter to Ernest Garcia, the Senate Sergeant- Of-Arms. B^it Moynihan added, however, "The rules as set forth on the pass could lead a Jewish or Sikh guest to forego visiting our chamber." Moynihan suggested changing the pass wording to . include the House exception to which Garcia agreed.
