Sherman To Head CJP
Trades And Professions Div.
Joel B. Sherman has assumed
the chairmanship of the Trades
and Professions Division for the
1975 Campaign of the Combined
Jewish Philanthropies of
Greater Boston and Israel
Emergency Fund.
In making the announcement,
Sherman H. Starr, 1975 general
campaign chairman, noted: "At 34,
Joel Sherman is one of the youngest
men ever to head this important CJP
division. But his accomplishments
as a dynamic campaigner and his
record of service to the community
have earned him this key position."
Mr. Sherman and his wife, Sue,
returned this Monday from Israel.
There they participated in a United
Jewish Appeal National Campaign
Cabinet Study Seminar, along with
several fellow Bostonians; Mr. and
Mrs. Bert Rabinowitz, Mr. and Mrs.
Maurice Cohen, Mr. and Mrs.
Bertram R. Paley and Dr. and Mrs.
Leon Jick.
Relating his experiences in Israel,
Mr. Sherman said: "We met on a
personal level, with Israelis from all
walks of life. What was clear is that
the average Israeli feels much more
strongly than ever before that there
is a real interdependence between
the people of Israel and the Jews of
Joel B. Sherman
America. There is an understanding
that American Jews and Israelis are
truly one.
"Interestingly enough," he noted,
"we discovered a growing
recognition among Israelis of the
importance of building strong
Jewish communities here in the
United States, with particular
emphasis on Jewish education.
"We also saw how the Yom Kippur
War and its aftermath have wor-
sened all the problems that already
existed. The number one problem,

Allon Says
War Is Not
Inevitable
NEW YORK, (JTA)--Israeli
Foreign Minister Yigal Allon
told a group of American Jewish
leaders that while a new Middle
East war is possible it is not
inevitable. He said that while
preparing for war Israel must
also seek to avert a war by
political means.
Allon's remarks were made at an
off-the-record meeting with
members of the Conference of
Presidents of Major American
Jewish Organizations at the Jewish
Agency office here just before his
departure for Israel.
According to a source, Allon
stressed that the United States has
no Mideast peace plan and will not
try to impose a settlement on Israel.
He said his meetings with Secretary
of State Henry A. Kissinger, Defense
Secretary James R. Schlessinger,
Treasury Secretary William Simon
and Vice president Gerald Ford had
been very good, constructive, useful
and fruitful with satisfactory
results. Allon reportedly said that
"some of these results are already in
my pocket" and expressed con-
fidence that the others were being
considered favorably.
Allon said that thanks to the
special relationship the United
States enjoys with Israel, the U.S. is

PLO To Open
Office In Moscow
TEL AVIV, (JTA) -The
Palestine Liberation
Organization (FLO) will open
an office in Moscow, according
to a communique issued in the
Soviet capital at the end of five
days of talks held there between
FLO chief Yasir Arafat and
Soviet officials. The com-
munique also reportedly called
for the FLO to be represented at
the Geneva Mideast peace talks
on the same basis as other
participants. The communique,
in effect recognizes the FLO as
the sole representative of the
Falestinians.
Despite this announcement
there was some speculation
here that the USSR's support of
the FLO was more perfunctory
than all-embracing in view of
the fact that Arafat was not
received either by the high
Communist Farty officials or by
Foreign Minister Andrei
Gromyko.
Peres Colls Situation Grove
TEL AVIV, (JTA)-Fears of a new Middle East war erupting
before the end of the year continued unabated over the weekend
with Defense Minister Shimon Peres declaring that the
graveness of the situation "compels us to present the harsh truth
to the people." Peres said the Arab states have swung into
preparation for war aided by an intensive Soviet arms supply
especially to Syria and Iraq.
His remarks to a meeting of Labor
Party branch leaders at Beit Berl
came a day after he had charged
that Soviet helicopters had violated
Israeli airspace in an attempt to
photograph Israeli naval vessels and
that Egypt and Syria have been
violating the disengagement
agreement.
War warnings were also issued by
Information Minister Aharon Yariv
and Premier Yitzhak Rabin. Yariv
said that even if Israel is ready to
make major concessions to the Arab
states this would not ensure peace
since the major obstacle is the
refusal by the Arabs to accept
Israel's right to exist. But he
stressed that every opportunity
should be made to reach a political
settlement since there is no
guarantee that another war will
bring peace.
Rabin late last week warned that
if substantive action for peace is not
taken soon, the danger of war will
increase. He said that a possible
date for the resumption of war could
be in October or November when the
mandate of the United Nations
Emergency Force (UNEF) must be
renewed. The Arabs, he said, may
use this provision as a pretext to
create a situation to force the UNEF
to leave the buffer areas and thereby
free their military forces to unleash
another attack against Israel.
"In April, 1967, I did not believe
there would be war," Rabin told

Prime Minister's Club
Former Chief of Staff of the Israel Defense Forces, General
David Elazar, will be the keynote speaker at a dinner for foun-
ding-members of the Prime Minister's Club of Israel Bonds on
Tuesday evening, August 27, at Belmont Country Club.
Announcement of the dinner was
made by Bertram C. Tackeff,
president of the exclusive- club,
which is comprised of individuals
whose pace-setting purchases of
Israel Bonds provide vital in-
vestment funds for maintaining
Israel's domestic growth.
In underlining the importance of
the club, Tackeff stressed, "In order
to raise the unprecedented amount
of loan dollars necessary for
revitalizing Israel's badly depleted
economy, it is imperative that we
enlarge the ranks of the Prime
Minister's Club."
"In Greater Boston, we seek to
enroll this year a maximum number
of founding members and urge all
those who can make this substantial
commitment to Israel to join us in
this crucial endeavor.lt is important
