McGovern Criticizes Nixon Policies In Middle East 7 NEW YORK — Senator George McGovern criticized President Nixon's Middle 'East policy this month, charging that "the danger to Israel ... - has increased"'' since Mr. Nixon took office. Sen. McGovern told 800 persons who filled Temple Shaaray Telfila, a Reform congregation on Manhat¬ tan's Upper East Side: '/'When the present Ad¬ ministration took office, the Resident called the Middle East 'the most critical foreign policy problem after Vietnam.' Yet the Middle East is no closer'to peace today than it was then — and - the danger to Israel, in many respects, has increased." ° Sen. McGovern explained: "Secretary Rogerapnd the State Department reversed the policy of the previous Administration and tried to impose a settlement through' a concert of outside powers. "This effort not only failed. It helped stoke up the arms rapp, strengthened the forces 'of aggression and terrorism, and made it far more difficult for the Israelis to gain acceptance for the only kind of negotiations which can bring peace:' direct negotiations, without preconditions, between the' nations of the Middle East themselves." ,-The South >, Dakota Democrat also criticized the Nixon administration for having "hesitated" , in providing military < aid to Israel. "The mosl effective guarantee of both, 11 the present cease-fire and of a permanent peace is the modern deterrent of the Israeli • armed forces," he declared. "When we have hesitated' in- our- military support of Israel, the fragile fabric of peace has been weakened. When we have supplied this help, conditions have stabilized." ' ' In an apparent reference to recent White House pressures -against'. Israel, Sen. McGovern declared: "Our sale of weapons should not be made con¬ tingent upon Israeli agreement -to American diplomatic demands. It should be an ongoing com¬ mitment based solely upon the military requirements of the day." • Sen. McGovern was equally critical of Ad¬ ministration policy on Jerusalem. "I was distressed when the United States joined in voting criticism of Israeli administration of Jerusalem," he states. "In the last 20 centuries, Jerusalem has never seen better rule than it sees today under Israeli administration and should continue under it." "Furthermore, the UjS. should recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel and move our embassy there."

Governor's Dinner Saved In Spite Of Bad Weather With the completion of the 1972 Campaign, Campaign Chairman, Gordon B. Zacks announced an extensive effort called "Operation Clean-up" to complete all outstanding contributions -' and to secure pledges from all who have not made a gift this year'. Zacks said that ' the Campaign is currently' ih excess of almost $200,000 ahead of last year on a card for card basis. He projected new .'all time high levels for , the 1972 Campaign. "However, we*wi|l fall short of our hoped for goal, which was realistic ip terms of the tremendous needs iii Israel." He quoted Pinchas Sapir, Israel's Finance Minister. "One million dollars a day in cash is needed to maintain Jewish Agency programs for' new immigrants. The financial burden of caring for the 70,000 immigrants who will come this year is overwhelming ... In this hour of need, we turn to American Jewry and we know they will not disappoint us." "Operation Clean-Up" is crucial. All contributors commitment and if possible make an increased gift at this time. Gordon B. Zacks said that every family in the Greater Columbus Area has an obligation as a Jew to help other Jews in need. This is not a responsibility of only some Jews—each and every person has the responsibility to participate in this tremendous world-wide "humanitarian effort. The monies contributed will find their way to the four corners of the earth, wherever there are Jews in need.

Dividing., up we work, Patron Hosts were called to Contact their •table guests; radio and TV stations were asked to an¬ nounce the change on the air. Beauty shops were called to alert their customers. Grocery stores had signs put on the windows. A guard was placed at the executive mansion to redirect guests. Long distance calls were made to out-of-town guests. The caterer was-redirected to Tifereth .Israel and the firm handling the physjeal arrangements sprang into the gap to help set up the Tifereth Israel Social Hall as close to the floor plan of the Governor's Mansion as possible. The real test of the ^committee's work came at the time of tho dinner itself. The Jewish community of Columbus puMod together in an emergency,' Of the close to 300 guests who had made reservations only four did not make it; Not only was the evening a beautiful one where the guests took part in the moving and impressive lighting of Israel's Menorah oft State, but the guest speaker, Minister Jacob Barmore -'stirred the guests to "unprecedented purchases of Israel Bonds. The unof¬ ficial total for the evening was '$707,800, primarily in purchases by individuals.
