JERUSALEM (JTA)-- Foreign Minister Abba Eban said this past weekend that Israel /rejected Egyptian President Anwar Sadat's refusal to extend the Suez cease-fire but that what mattered was that thiere' should be no renewal of shooting. Eban spoke at a- press conference shortly after Sadat announced in Cairo that his government would accept no further extension of the cease fire which expires at midnight Mar. 7, local time - 5 p.m. New York tiifie. Sadat said however that this "did not mean that political action will stop and guns will start shooting." He    said
diploinatic peace initiatives will continue. Eban said Israel did not sh^e Sadat's approach ahd held that the ceasefire (Mntinues to ,(?xistl by 'j'ii^uie of '^6^.8661^^ Council's re£»l(iitiraf^()fiFivie, 1967.which' established the cease-fire that ended the Six; Day. War. Eba'h said that resoliitioii had binding force and could not be abrogated by either party.-Sadat said he decided against a'further truce extension after a secret' visit last week to Moscow. Israel meanwhile released today the full text of its note submitted to United Nations mediator ' Gunnar Jarring on Feb. 26 for transmission to Cairo. Eban said at his press conference that the Israeli note was more positive and con¬ structive than the note Egypt sent to Jarring earlier.
Both notes represented the replies by Israel and Egypt to Jarring's initiative of Feb. 8 in which he presented both sides with a detailed questionnaire on their respective terms for peace. According tp Eban, the Egyptian reply, which has been praised for "sincerity" and reasonableness by some Western diplomats in recent days, was
free navigation' through the Straits of Tiran although it stipulated navigation rights for Israeli ships and cargoes through the Suez Canal. Eban replied that Israeli terms stated in the note did
not purport to be com¬ prehensive. He conceded that the Sharm el-Sheikh strongpoint which controls navigation through \the Straits of Tiran Was a vital Israeli interest. The question
and Eban's reply raised a territorial issue, the im¬ plication being that Israel was determined to maintain a presence at Sharm el- Sheikh and therefore there

Why Israel Cannot Accept An Enforced Peace
By David Horowitz
UNITED NATIONS. (WUP)—It should be clear to every soundminded person that so long as the Soviet Unionj. the major.supplier of military-'.'hardward to the.i UAR aiiid Syria, persists inr Its present ani-Israeli, anti- Zionist policy in a manner reminiscent of Herr Goeb- bel's diatribes' during the Wazi era, and so long as the Arabs hold the  threat  of
Russian SAM-III missiles over the heads of the Israelis and at the same time tolerate and encourage the presence ot the terrorists— so long as 'such' a perilous situation'exists, it would be foolish for the Jewish State to bud^e from its current stated stand.
Tliat stand may be sum- m^ up in the following reply given by Premier Golda Meir to a Newsweek in¬ terviewer last week: \
"We want to sit down and discuss borders that are secure and recognized. The borders we had between 1949 and 1967, according to the armistice agreements, were not recognized as final borders, though we were quite content to go on living in them. The Arabs said throughout these years that Israel had no borders. Now they say they ^want the borders they said we didn't

both Israel Bonds and UJA.
Nutis led the enthusiastic discussion into various areas of campaigning for 197l,but alwa/s can/e back to the prime purpose pf the evening - to establish a quota for Columbus and Israel Bonds.
As a result of the thinking of the leadership at that quota setting meeting, Nutis issued the following statement, "Based on Israel's intense need for Bond dollars and on the large areas of untapped resources available to Israel Bonds here in Columbus, the combined leadership of Columbus has undertaken to provide $1.5 million dollars in cash for Israel in 1971r This will not be an easy task, but it is a task which has been accepted and a quota which will be met."
