African ©@yntri@s JERUSALEM, (JTA)-Defense Minister Ariel Sharon visited several African countries before he flew to Washington last week to sign the strategic cooperation agreement with the U.S., it was disclosed today. Informed sources here linked the two visits. They said Israel's cooperation with several African countries would increase, due partly at least to the "new and enhanced standing" conferred on Israel by entering a formal strategic relationship with the U.S. . NEW YORK (JTA)--A new Soviet documentary film on the Nazi massacre at Babi Yar "distorts history" by virtually ignoring the murder of approximately 100,000 Jews, according to. the Anti-Defamation League of B'nai B'rith. ADL associate director Abraham Foxman said the 70-minute film, like the Soviet memorial at the massacre site near Kiev, neglects the principal victims of the World War II slaughter. - - WASHINGTON (JTA)- The State Department released a joint statement by the United States and Israel last Friday which said the participation by four European countries in the Sinai peacekeeping force is based only on the Israeli-Egyptian peace treaty and cannot be linked to the Venice declaration of the European. Economic Community (EEC). The' statement, read by .Department Deputy spokesman Alan Romberg, said that it was being issued after both Israel and the U.S. reviewed the "clarification" which Britain, France, Italy and The Netherlands sent the U.S. last month. The Europeans had originally linked their announcement on the Multinational Force and Observers (MFO) which v/ill patrol the Sinai after Israel's final withdrawal next April with their , support for the 1980 Venice declaration which calls for Palestinian self-determination and the participation of the Palestine Liberation Organization in the Middle East peace talks. Last week's joint statement said that the European clarification explained "that they (the Europeans) recognize that the function of the MFO is as defined in the relevant Egyptian-Israeli agreements and includes that of insuring freedom of navigation through the Strait of Tiran... ; and that they have attached no political conditions, linked to Venice or otherwise, to their participation." A senior State Department official, who briefed reporters on condition that his name not be used, said he believes the joint statement will "facilitate" the participation of the four countries in the Sinai force. He said that Leamon Hunt, a retired foreign service officer who has been named director general of the MFO, will go to the four countries to work out details of. their participation. The senior official stressed that the U.S. is committed to the Camp-David process, including the ongoing negotiations for autonomy for (CONTINUED ON PAGE 11) ■r -» * <; i » , - ~n .» ft l\-\ " *• I *r* ) .

(JTA)—Governor Edmumd Brown, Jr. has appealed to President Reagan to officially ask Soviet President Leonid Brezhnev for a report on Raoid Wallenberg, the Swedish diplomat who saved 100,000 Jews in Hungary from Uie. Holocaust. . Brown made the appeal at a meeting of the Board of Directors of the Simon Wiesenthal Holocaust Center at the Yeshiva University of Los Angeles, commemorating Wallenberg and his role during the war years. Reagan recently awarded Wallenberg honorary U.S. citizenship for his heroic actions in issuing counterfeit Swedish passports to Jews in Hungary. Wallenberg disappeared in Budapest in 1945 where he had been a representative of the American War Refugee Board attached to the Swedish Embassy. The Soviet Union has claimed that Wallenberg died in prison. However, former Soviet prisoners as well as many prominent individuals around the world believe that Wallenberg is still alive. .Brown told the meeting that for 35 years "Jews all over the world have attempted to learn the fate of Raoul Wallenberg. Although all efforts have failed, many who have pursued this search believe that Wallenberg may still be alive. Dead or alive, Jewish people all over the world cry out for word of his fate... Raoul Wallenberg, a non-Jew, is a symbol of world concern for the millions of Jews who died during the Holocaust." In a related action, the Simon Wiesenthal Center paid tribute to the Swedish diplomat by presenting its Simon Wiesenthal Humanitarian Laureate, in absentia, to Wallenberg. Nina Lag- .qrgrfq, Wallenberg's sister, accepted the award on her brother's behalf. Wiesenthal, the Nazi-hunter, told the 1,200 national leaders from the arts and business communities attending the award ceremony, that (CONTINUEDON PAG^9] LONDON (JTA)-Shlomo Argov, Israeli Ambassador to Britain, clashed last week with Eric Heffer, one of the most powerful politicians in the British Labor Party, who had savagely attacked the election campaign of Israel's ruling Likud bloc. The clash took place after a speech by Israel's Labor Party leader, Shimon Peres,' to a fund-raising dinner of the British Labor Friends of Israel. Peres was the key speaker but his remarks were largely overshadowed by Argov's defense of Premier" Menachem Begin against Heffer's attack. Heffer had harked back to the tumultous scenes at some of Begin's election rallies which had been prominently screened on British television.. He called then* frightening signs of the intolerance being encouraged by the present Israeli government. Argov, who had been scheduled to give merely a brief message of greetings from his government, passionately rejected Heffer's complaints, and asked him whether he would like foreigners to judge Britain as a whole by some of the scenes which he had recently witnessed on television here,. Even before Argov*s intervention, last week's dinner, at the House of Commons, had been marked by the political strains between the British and Israeli Labor Parties. Peres had started his own speech by playing down differences between Israel's government and opposition over foreign policy - andbitterly attacked the policies of Britain and its European partners. Heffer, however, said that while he supported Israel he could not support Begin, whom he called "not very (CONTINUED OH PAGE 9) NEW YORK (JTA)-The Asian Games Federation has come up with a new method of keeping Israel out of international competition. At a meeting held last week, it decided to replace itself next year with a new sports organization to be known as the Olympic Council of Asia (OCA).
