liluntlu Speahino See Perlmutter's Column on Page Five Israel Charges: PLO Stalling To Fortify Military Positions JEWISH Tl A' /14 I Vol. XXXVII, No. 47 Thursday, July 15, 1982 Price 25C 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 Continued on Page Six Harris Poll Shows Support For Israel 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." The incident created by Mitter- Continued on Page Six 734-5000 RED CAB.

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.

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.
