Arafat— ( ontinued from page 1. they understand that they will not he sale from extradition or prose cution no matter where they may hide.” Lautenberg, Grassley and other senators had asked Attorney Gen eral Edwin Meese to consider Ara fat’s indictment for the murders of C'leo Noel, U.S. Ambassador to the Sudan, and Charge d’Affaires q Curtis Moore. Belgian Ambas sador Guy Eid was shot with the two Americans. Eight Palestinian gunmen of the PLO’s Black Sep tember division seized them at a reception in the Saudi Arabian Embassy in Khartoum. Investiga tors of the murders, including Charles Lichtenstein, former U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, unearthed what they believed was authentic information on a tape recording that indicated Arafat at Pl.0 headquarters then in Beirut, gave the gunmen orders to carry out the execution. It was believed from the start of the finding of the reported tape recording that high ( ontinued from page I. ing Polish violinist Bronislaw Huberman. He had spent several years persuading the first-chair musicians of Eastern European and German orchestras, who had lost their jobs as a result of the rise of Nazism, to emigrate to Palestine. The Palestine Symphony played its first concert on Dec. 26, 1936, under the baton of Arturo Tosca nini, who felt his participation in the birth of this orchestra was a way to demonstrate his opposition to Eascism. Since then, major soloists and conductors have performed with the IPO, enriching the cultural life of Israel and helping maintain the highest artistic standards of the orchestra. The orchestra’s role as Israel’s greatest cultural ambassador is more than matched by the effect of its performances on audiences in Israel, where concerts are routinely sold out.

Policy considerations in 1982 when Israelis were closing the ring around Arafat and his forces in Beirut are said to have enabled Arafat to escape with his forces to the north of Lebanon. Late news At a hearing of the Senate subcommittee on terrorism Wednesday, both Sen. Lauten berg and Sen. Grassley blasted the Department of Justice for its decision not to pursue the Arafat indictment. Assistant Attorney General John Bolton wrote the Senate that the U.S. lacked legal jurisdiction and sufficient evidence against Arafat. Bolton said that although much has been alleged about evi dence implicating Arafat in plan ning the takeover of the Saudi Arabian Embassy to murder Am bassador Noel and Charge Moore, the evidence currently available from key departments and agen cies within our government and from other sources is insufficient for prosecutive purposes. —Mehta— cert in Israel, called it “one of the most moving moments of my life” and said it is vital for the American community to help build the en dowment. Because the orchestra does not receive any substantial govern ment subsidy and until now had a very small endowment fund, many special programs and projects could not be covered from the reg ular operating budget. The Atlanta benefit and others like it around the country are expected to en hance the endowment fund to keep the IPO in the front ranks of musi cal excellence. “In view of our legal conclu sions that there is a U.S. constitu tional prohibition against indict ing anyone for these murders, un dertaking an exhaustive global search for additional detailed evi dence of Arafat’s complicity in the 1973 murders would divert pre cious investigative resources which we must devote to locating and apprehending those responsible for terrorist attacks in cases where we do have jurisdiction,” the letter said. It referred to the hijackings of the Achille Lauro and the Egyp tian and TWA airliners. I he Justice Department’s con tention that search for evidence against Arafat “would divert pre cious investigatible resources" was felt by knowledgeable sources here to be strikingly similar to views held at the State Department and by others in World War 11 when appeals were made to the Roos evelt administration to bomb the rail lines leading to Auschwitz and other death camps to save some of the inmates. At that time, U.S. officials held that the resources needed to be used for such bomb ings were required for other pur poses in the war. Public announcement of the con cert will be forthcoming soon with ticket prices for the remaining seats announced at that time. Invi tations for the $125 choice seats to benefit the endowment fund and including the gala reception will be mailed in June.
