LONDON — The streets of London are jammed with cars, buses and
shoppers.
One can hear a cacophony of languages on the downtown busy streets
where the overflow of conjestion from London’s 17 million population
congregates.
In the famous department stores Indian women jeweled and bearing
their caste identification stride through the stores. Arabs abound in
Harrod’s making huge purchases like the British pound was Monopoly
play-money.
Behind the scenes there is a sinister game of intrigue underpinning the
Arab’s conquest of British public opinion.
Britain is how underselling the Arabs by more than $4 per barrel on
OPEC oil. The recent meeting held by OPEC in Vienna to cut production
will not change the glut of oil.
Nigeria and Libya are desperate to to raise cash and may be forced to
further reduce their selling price and to increase production instead of
reducing it.
Meanwhile the pro-Arab lobby in Britain is still striving to influence
British public opinion.
A study published this week by the World Jewish Congress in London
finds especially that the PLO “has been unable to enlist a broad based
grassroots movement in the country.
WJC’s Institute of Jewish Affairs based here, examined 10 anti-Israel,
pro-Arab groups highly active in Britain including the General Union of
Palestine Students, the British Anti-Zionist Organization and the Council
for the Advancement of Arab-British Understanding. See jess jawin Page 14
Israel Troops Have 2 Battles:
Remove Yamit Settlers, Squatters;
Stop Continuous W. Bank Violence
Israeli troops were again
poised late Wednesday to
enter Yamit, the Sinai
settlement, to dislodge
squatters and settlers who
refuse to move in prepara-
tion for the Israeli turnover
of the Sinai to Egypt on
April 25.
With the United States
Field Mission, which has
been stationed in the Sinai
since 1976, the atmosphere
is entirely different.
Among the 134 civilians'
manning their posts is Clay
Jones, 33, of Dallas who is a
security officer at the base.
Clay told a reporter recent-
ly, “It’s been great here.
There’s lots of R and R”
[recreation and relaxation].
The U.S. outfitted its base
with tennis, basketball, tel-
evision, movies, a weight
room, exercise and play
area. Besides the spacious
living quarters, all private,
are air conditioned and
according to one news
report “seems more like a
country club than a base
camp.”
But it was more than just
a “camp” for “R and R.”
Before Camp David it
served as an operations base
for the electronic warning
system in the area. Follow-
ing the signing of the Camp
David accords in 1979 it
undertook limited recon-
naissance and verification
tasks.
After the Field Mission is
disbanded the site will
revert to the Egyptian
government. Supplies and
equipment will go to the
State Department for reas-
signment to U.S. embassies.
Though the U.S. person-
nel have had a feeling of the
good life at the base while
doing a credible job at
helping to keep the peace,
the realities of the day-by-
day situation are entirely
different.
While Israel is fighting
with Yamit holdouts and
National Religious Party
squatters and supporters of
an entrenched Sinai policy,
the government also has to
contend with the mounting
unrest on the West Bank.
The escalating demonstra-
tions and outbursts are seen

Passover: Wednesday at Sundown
Orthodox Leaders Say They Would
Regret The Disappearance Of
Reform And Conservative Jews
NEW YORK [JTA] - The
rabbi of one of the nation’s
major Sephardic synagogues
has asserted that not only
would Orthodox Jewry not
welcome the disappearance
of Conservative and Reform
Judaism, but also that the
Orthodox movement “should
be frightened by such a
possibility.”
Marc Angel, rabbi of New
York’s Spanish and Portu
guese Synagogue, took that
positon as a participant in a
symposium on “The State of
Orthodoxy” in the spring
issue of “Tradition,” the
scholarly publication of the
Rabbinical Council of Amer-
ica, a major Orthodox
rabbinical association.
Angel added that “even if
it could be shown that
non-Orthodox movements
would unquestionably disap-
pear, this would hardly
warrant any sense of ‘tri-
umphalism’ ” on the part of
Orthodox Jewry.
“With all our theological
differences, yet we are part
of one Jewish people and
work together in so many
ways for the benefit of the
Jewish community here,
abroad and especially in
Israel,” he declared.
He posed the dilemma as
he saw it in these terms: “It
is not a happy prospect that
the overwhelming majority
will lose their Jewishness. It
is also extremely unlikely
that vast numbers of the
non-Orthodox community
will move into Orthodoxy in
the relatively near future.”

Passover Haggadot will
be open at sundown next
Wednesday to repeat the
recitation of civilization’s
most dramatic story of
freedom.
Stemming from the his-
toric and biblical deliverance
by Moses of his people from
the slavery of Egypt, it is
ironic this year that the
holiday will be a prelude to
the deliverance of the Sinai
desert, complete with im-
provements, to the Egyptian
people by the state of Israel.
Metroplex Jewry will
share in the joys of the
celebration in congregations
in Dallas, Arlington and
Fort Worth. Several syna-
gogues are holding commun-
ity seders.
Home hospitality is being
offered to military personnel
and newcomers to the area
in the perfect spirit of Elijah
for whom a special cup of
wine is set at the Passover
table.
Passover is celebrated in
all Jewish homes the world
over. To guarantee this the
American Jewish Joint Dis-
tribution Committee (JDC)
has shipped Passover sup-
plies to small Jewish com-
munities throughout the
world including a shipment
to Falasha Jew’s in Ethiopia.
Passover supplies will also
be distributed to the small
Jewish community in Egypt
for the fifth consecutive
year. For 32 years before
that, Passover supplies were
distributed by the Interna-
tional Red Cross.
Officials estimate that
there are 300 Jews in Egypt,
divided between Alexandria
with 100 and Cairo with 200.
Wherever possible JDC
provides matzah manufac-
tured in Israel. Of all the
communities receiving Pass-
over supplies, Rumania re-
ceives the largest amoung.
Other communities re-
ceiving Passover supplies
were in Greece, Italy (for
Soviet emigrants), Yugo-
slavia, Melilla and Cueta in
Spanish Morocco, Portugal,
Spain and Lebanon.
In addition to the ship-

PASSOVER SUPPLIES — A shipment of Passover supplies to the estimated 500
remaining Jews of Egypt is shown being loaded here in Jerusalem, before its departure.
The shipment to Egypt included 2,000 pounds of matza, 200 bottles of sacramental wine,
100 pounds of matza meal and 200 pounds of macaroons.
This year the American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee [JDC] shipped over 200
tons of Passover supplies and will provide Passover cash grants to the needy in over 30
nations around the world.
