JERUSALEM � As diplomatic
negotiations continue in Beirut,
Israeli officials claim that the
Palestine Liberation Organization
has been stalling for time in order to
fortify its military and political
positions.
The Israelis are now calling for a
new Lebanese government which,
they hope, would call for the
departure of armed "foreign" forces
from the country.
The United States is growing
concerned about the delay in the
negotiations. The U.S. agreed that
the PLO had to leave Beirut, but so
far no Arab country has agreed to
take them.
CJP Leaders To Hold Special Meetings
To Report On Mission To Israel
More than 20 Boston Jewish com-
munity leaders are taking part this
week in a unique fact-finding
mission to Israel and Lebanon, and
will report on their findings in a
series of special meetings to be held
upon their return.
The trip, sponsored by the Com-
bined Jewish Philanthropies of
Greater Boston will take partici-
pants to many of the places that
have made headlines in recent
weeks.
Community-wide meetings to
report on the mission have been
scheduled as follows: Monday, July
19 at 8:00 p.m. at Temple Sinai in
Sharon; Wednesday, July 21 at 8:00
p.m. at Temple Emunah in Lexing-
ton; and Thursday, July 22 at 8:00
p.m. at Temple Mishkan Tefila in
Chestnut Hill. All interested mem-
bers of the community are welcome.
Prior to departure, Ruth Fein of
Boston, president of CJP and leader
of the mission said, "Participants
will see first-hand the effects of
Israel's 'Peace for the Galilee'
action on Israel's economy and on
the lives of Israeli and Lebanese
civilians. While much has been
written about recent events, much of
what has been reported in the Amer-
ican media does not reflect the
whole story.
"With the help of top government
and military leaders," Fein said,
"our group will have a rare oppor-
tunity to look behind the scenes and
talk at length with some of the
leading decision makers as well as
Israelis and Lebanese from every
walk of life."
For security reasons, the Boston
group's itinerary had not yet been
finalized before departure. The plan,
however, calls for the delegation to
visit former PLO strongholds from
which terrorists bombed northern
Israel. They will also visit towns that

Israel Protests French
President's Statement
PARIS (JTA) - Israel's Am-
bassador to France, Meir Rosenne,
lodged a formal protest against
President Francois Mitterrand's
reported comparison between the
Israeli occupation in Lebanon and
the World War II massacre carried
out by the Nazis at Oradour-sur-
Glane in France. Rosenne report-
edly told Foreign Ministry Secretary
General Francis Gutmann that any
parallel between the two is "absol-
utely inadmissible."
The Israeli government reacted
promptly to Mitterrand's statement.
President Yitzhak Navon called it
"a sacrilege" and Foreign Minister
Yitzhak Shamir instructed Rosenne
to lodge a formal protest at the
Elysee Palace where the envoy was
due to meet Mitterrand's special
adviser, Jacques Attali.
French sources said the meeting
with Attali, which had been sched-
uled for some time, was cancelled
apparently as a sign of French
anger. The Elysee Palace Chief of
Staff, Jean-Louis Bianco rapped
Israel this afternoon saying "The
Israeli authorities failed to check
their facts before protesting." He
added: "The president, who has
always shown his attachment to
Israel, does not need to reaffirm it
once again."

Bond Delegation To Israel
Pledges Extra $100-Million
Two local leaders were part of a
delegation of Israel Bond leaders
who participated in an emergency
economic mission to Israel and
Lebanon at the invitation of the
Israeli government.
The group concluded their stay
with a pledge to Prime Minister
Menachem Begin to raise an
additional $100-million in the next
ten weeks so that Israel's economic
development will not suffer.
The delegates, who came from the
U.S., Canada, Western Europe and
other countries, conferred with the
prime minister, Finance Minister
Yoram Aridor, Foreign Minister
Yitzhak Shamir and other top
government ministers. Represent-
ing the Boston area were Melvin A.
Ross, New England Region chair-
man of Israel Bonds, and Ralph
Kaplan, Deputy chairman of the
Greater Boston Bond campaign. The
participants in the emergency
economic mission were invited to
come to Israel and to visit Lebanon
by the Israeli Government.
In a joint statement, Ross and
Kaplan, said, "We stand with the
people of Israel in their struggle for
the achievement of their objective to
live in peace and security. We came,
we saw and we learned."
"Upon our return home, we have
started working on an emergency
summer campaign to accelerate
payment of outstanding Bond com-
mitments and to marshal the sale of
new Israel Bonds to be paid over the
next three months. Working in
concert with General Chairman
Robert Boyer, Cash Mobilization
Chairman Robert Gray and leaders
of the local Campaign Cabinet, Ross
and Kaplan are helping to spearhead
the emergency campaign in order to

WASHINGTON (JTA) - The
stated intentions of Israel's military
incursion into Lebanon has the over-
whelming support of American
public opinion, according to the
latest Harris Poll.
By a majority of 76-14, Americans
supported the stated objectives of
the Israeli military action in
Lebanon "to have all non-Lebanese
military powers � Israel, Syria and
the PLO � leave that country and
allow the Lebanese to rule them-
selves and to control their own
country militarily," the poll said.
However, the majority of Ameri-
cans � 54-41 percent � oppose
sending U.S. troops to Lebanon to
act as part of a peacekeeping force
in south Lebanon in the 25-mile
buffer zone the Israelis want in
order to prevent the Palestine
Liberation Organization from
launching rocket and artillery
assaults on northern Israeli settle-
ments.
A 49-48 percent plurality of men
favors sending U.S. troops, but
women oppose U.S. participation in
any peacekeeping force in Lebanon
by 61-33 percent. The poll surveyed
1,255 adults throughout the country
by telephone June 18-22 and there-
fore did not have an indication of

Reagan's offer last week to send

Reinvestment Of Matured Israel Bonds Crucial
"Matured Israel Bonds do not earn interest for the investor after
the maturity date and, only when redeemed and reinvested
promptly, do they continue to help Israel. Neither the Bondholder nor
Israel benefit from Bonds that have reached maturity."
This important information is emphasized by Lesner M. White,
Reinvestment chairman of the Greater Boston Israel Bond Organi-
zation, who urges Bondholders to check their vaults and records
immediately for matured Bonds which may have been forgotten or
overlooked.
For information on reinvestment, contact the Boston Israel Bond
office at 723-2400.
