2 Federal Grants
For NY Poor
Norwegian Cabinet Decides
Against Expulsion of Eyal
NEW YORK — (JTA) — Two
federal grants totaling almost
$500,000 to help the Jewish poor
in New York City were an
nounced this week by Sen. Jacob
K Javits (R.N.Y.).
One grant of $300,000 will
provide legal services for the poor
in the Brooklyn Jewish community
and the other grant of $198,542
will coordinate and set up
programs for the poor.
Javits, speaking at a press con
ference in his office here, said the
funds will come from the Office of
Economic Opportunity. If the
programs are successful, they will
be funded by other federal agencies
if the OEO goes out of existence,
he said.
The money was made possible
by a new law, sponsored by Javits
and Rep James H. Scheuer
(D.N.Y.), which provides funds for
areas not reached by the regular
poverty programs or for poor peo
ple living in areas not designated
by the federal government as
poverty neighborhoods. Javits said
that most Congressmen have no
idea that there are Jewish poor
since most of the Jews they meet
are wealthy.
The $300,000 grant will be ad
ministered by the Jewish -Urban
Legal Services Corp. Its acting
chairman of the board. Dr. Marvin
Schick, said there will be a staff of
12 full-time lawyers aided by law
students and the Legal Aid Socie
ty. He said the funds will be used
especially to help Jews who are dis
criminated against because they
are observant.
The $198,542 grant will be ad
ministered by the Hasidic Corp.
for Urban Concerns. David
Earber, its director, said that it is
dividing the funds to give $40,000
to the Metropolitan Coordinating
Council on Jewish Poor, $32,000
to the United Talmudical
Academy, and $30,000 to the

LOS ANGELES, (JTA) —
Standard Oil of California has ask
ed its stockholders and employees
to support “the aspirations of the
Arab people" and “their efforts
toward peace in the Middle East."
Standard Oil Chairman Otto N
Miller said in a special letter that
the U S. should support the Arab
position because Middle East oil
reserves are vital to “the future
welfare of the Western World."
Miller's message, dated July 26, is
being mailed to Standard's 40,000
employees and 262,000
stockholders.

UNITED NATIONS, (WUP)
— The feverish attempts by the
Arabs, the Soviets and their friends
to push through a new anti-Israeli
resolution that would have, in es
sence, superceded the balanced
resolution 242, was thwarted by
U.S. Ambassador John Scali when
at the closing meeting of the
Security Council Thursday mor
ning, July 26, he cast his second
veto on the Middle East situation.
Mr. Scali had tried desperately
to have the eight-power draft
modified by several amendments
so that he would not have to cast
the veto. But it was to no avail.
The eight sponsors, headed by self-
righteous India, refused to budge
Thirteen members of the Council,
including Britain, France and
Australia, voted for the resolution.
China, while present throughout
the debate, did not participate in
the vote. The resolution was not
strong enough for Peking which is
seeking to win over the Arab world
from the Soviets.
In explaining his veto, Mr. Scali
told his colleagues in the Council
that "the resolution was highly
partisan and unbalanced. Its adop
tion." he said in a meaningful tone,
"could only have added another
obstacle to getting serious
negotiations started between the
COPENHAGEN, (JTA) —
The Norwegian Cabinet, meeting
in special session in Oslo Aug. 3
the first time a major oil company
has taken such a strong and public
stand on the Arab side of the Mid
dle East issue. Executives of the in
ternational oil companies which
have large petroleum reserves in
Arab states traditionally have
preferred to work behind the
scenes in urging U.S. government
support for the Arab governments.
The letter suggested that all
citizens urge the U.S. government
to work for peace in the Middle
East. The letter, which
recommended that the U.S. “work
more closely with the Arab
parties. It would have contributed
another impractical and cosmetic
result invoking the unreal rather
than the real world."
The dynamic U.S. Ambassador
went on to explain that “if this
resolution had passed, it would
have changed fundamentally, it
would have overturned. Security
Council resolution 242. It would,
in other words, have undermined
the one agreed basis on which a
settlement in the Middle East
could be constructed. That is why
my Government felt compelled to
veto the resolution."
Coming to the heart of the issue
before the Council, he spoke of his
many attempts to have the one
sided resolution amended. One of
the amendments he had proposed
to the Council members, he said,
went “to the heart of the distortion
which the resolution voted on
would have perpetrated if it had
been accepted." He then referred
to operative paragraph 2 of the
resolution which, he stated, "treats
in isolation the Israeli presence in
territories occupied in the 1967
conflict. It speaks of ‘The’
territories ignoring the significance

was passed — of the omission of
this definite article —- the word

Israel by name.
Miller's letter did not disclose
his company’s strong dependence
on the Middle East as a source of
supply. Saudi Arabia and Iran
together provided 61 percent of
Standard's world-wide production
of crude oil in 1972.
Terrorists Kill 3
At Athens Airport
LONDON, (JTA) — lour
Arab terrorists, including two
women, threw hand grenades
into the transit lounge at
Athens Airport killing three
persons and injuring about 45,
according to reports reaching
here from Athens.
The dead were identified by
Greek authorities as Jean
Sallad and Albert Kirsten
of New Jersey and Wolf
gang Ullhogan, Vienna law
yer.
The injured, not immediately
identified, were rushed to near
by hospitals.
The terrorists seized about 35
hostages and tried to bargain
for their freedom before releas
ing the hostages and surrender
ing to authorities.
The terrorists mistakenly
believed the passengers were
boarding two TW / A planes
bound for Israel
Yigal Eyal" from Norway.
At the close of the meeting,
Norwegian Foreign Minister
Dagfin Vaarvik declared that
Norway had no "formal proof’ of
the complicity of Israeli officials,
although he said “some indications
permit us to suppose a certain link
between them and this affair"
It had been reported that Eyal
would be expelled after two Israeli
suspects were arrested at his home
following the murder of 30-year-
old Mohammed Boushicki. Eyal
had reportedly been declared per
sona non grata by Norwegian
authorities and his expulsion was
considered imminent. According
to the French paper, Le Monde,
the Norwegian government decid
ed not to expel Eyal “in order to
attenuate the political implications
of the affair".
I eMonde quoted the Palestinian
news agency “Wafa”, which con
gratulated Norway for its “noble
attitude" and denounced the
"shameful attitude of French
police and authorities when faced
with Zionist terrorism". The
Palestinian agency was referring to
the murders of pro-Palestinian
militants in Paris, Mahmoud el
Hamshari and Mohammed
Boudia, and whose murderers have
not yet been found. Le Monde also
quoted the weekly magazine,
“Africasia", which declared that
the lives of nine Arab personalities
are currently threatened by
"Zionist terrorists".
According to “Africasia",
French police have warned the
nine of possible assassination
attempts and offered to protect
them. The nine include Dr. Adel
Amer, the director of the Paris
Bureau of the Arab League; the
new Paris representative of the
Palestinian Liberation Organiza
tion Mahmoud Saleh; the PLO
representative in Geneva; Daoud
Bar.ikat; Arab journalists in Paris,
and leaders of the Paris Union of
Palestinian Students.
