General Assembly voted overwhelmingly last week to recognize the state of Palestine proclaimed by Yasir Arafat in Algiers last month. It also voted to upgrade the status of Arafat's Palestine Liberation Organization at the United Nations. The vote on the combined resolution was 104-2, with 36 abstentions. Only the United States and Israel were opposed. The PLO, until now a nongovernmental observer at the world organization, has been raised to the level of a "Palestine observer delegation," which is midway between an independence movement and a non-member state. The resolution also "affirmed the need of the Palestinian people to exercise their sovereignty oyer their territory occupied since 1967." On another ballot, the General Assembly voted 138-2, with two abstentions, for a .resolution, calling on the U\N. secretary-general to help convene an. international conference under U.N, auspices,' with the participation of all parties to the Middle East conflict, including the PLO "oh an equal footing."

U Area police officers won't haVeto go far to find a'good meal on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day as B'nai B'rith Maccabee Lodge once again carries out its annual "Feed the Police" community service project. Nearly 50 lodge members will deliver food to 25 local police agencies in four central Ohio counties on Christmas Eve. -That evening and in the early morning hours of Christmas Day, the men of Maccabee Lodge will keep Columbus Police Department officers company, in their cruisers as they work their beats. * On Friday, Dec. 23, from 2 to 4 p.m., lodge members will cut meat at Rax Restaurant, 3075 E. Main St., just west of James Road. Four hundred pounds of meat, along with assorted cheeses, will.be put onto trays that will feed over 1500 officers. Christmas Eye at 8 p.m., lodge members will gather on the fifth floor of the Central Police Station on W. Gay Street to serve the officers. Other police agencies to be served include Bexley, Whitehall, Reynoldsburg, Gahanna, Worthington, Upper Arlington, Westerville, Granville, Ohio State University, Dublin, Grove City, Graridview, Groveport- Madison Township, Hilliard and West Jefferson as. well as the Franklin and Fairfield County Sheriff's Departments. ,"Feed the Police" began in 1971 when a group of Jewish men dropped off baked goods to officers at three eastside police stations. It's now the oldest program of its kind and has been implemented by other organizations around- the country. Maccabee Lodge has reqeived the Citizen's Commendation Award from the Columbus Police Department for its development of "Feed the Police." "Feed the Police" is funded by the lodge's annual budget as well as by private arid corporate contributions, including donations from Rite Rug, the F.O.P.A., Restaurant Food Supply, Pepsi-Cola, the Kroger Company, Major Fleet and Leasing and City of Columbus Treasurer's Office employees, i i if\ > , standing role models for the community-at-large." The Sports Hall of Fame was established in 1979 fo recognize Jewish individuals who have excelled in the world of athletics. Since its inception, 34 Jewish sports- persons have been recognized for their achievements. This year's inductees, according to Valinsky, are exceptional representatives of Columbus' Jewish athletes. For example, Barry Zacks excelled at football on both the high school and college levels; Arnold Levinstein, a Champion OSU tennis player, and Leonard Schiff, also a formidable tennis player and a partner, were the first Bexley High School students to win a state championship in any sport. Schiff went on to play four strong seasons at OSU. WBNS (Channel 10) TV sports anchor, Barry Katz, will serve as master of ceremonies for the induction ceremony. A native of Columbus, Katz is a grad uate of Eastmoor High School, where he played varsity, baseball, and of The Ohio State University. In addition, a Sports Memorabilia Silent' Auction has been added to the program this year. Many items, including two baseballs autographed by Sandy Koufax and Warren Spahn, and a basketball autographed by John Havilicek, are among the items available. Bidding will begin on Thursday, Jan. 12.. •. ;.y Also slated for the induction ceremony is a volunteer tribute to Irv Flox, Ben Golden and Sol Kaufman, who will be honored for their contribution to youth sports through coaching at the Jewish Center.

For more information, call the Center's Recreation and Wellness Division, 231-2731. A period of tension may be- ahead between the United States and Israel, especially if the talks with the PLO, being undertaken by Robert Pelletreau, the U.S.-ambassador in Tunisia, are seen as going well. At the same time, the decision frees the Bush White House of a commitment to Israel that has been upheld by the last three administrations, since it was first made in 1975 by then-Secretary of State Henry Kissinger. Jewish Community Campaign Prepares for Community Phase The Advanced Gifts phase of the Columbus Jewish Federation's 1989 Jewish Community Campaign, CommUNITY for the 90's, is in its final stage, as the 'Campaign approaches the $5.5 million mark.
