The resolution noted that "The Ethiopian Jews are amongst the oldest continuous Jewish communities in existence" and that "this ancient group is in danger of actual physical extinction unless immediate assistance is forthcoming from a generous and powerful country like the United States" which "has always been a haven for the persecuted and downtrodden of other countries...'-." Over 100 Killed In Blizzard In Lebanon TEL AVIV (JTA)—A severe winter storm with blizzard conditions has taken over 100 lives in Lebanon where Israeli troops are helping in rescue operations, it was reported last week. In addition to clearing roads, including the section of the Beirut-Damascus highway which they control, the Israel soldiers were extricating people from villages buried in snow drifts yards deep and from stranded vehicles.

The Governing Board, following the deliberation of some 100 delegates from' 27' countries who met earlier this month in Washington, has also recommended that WJC member communities participate in the observance as well. SPECIAL TO THE JTA Barbie's Escape From By Vatican, CIC*" * TEL AVIV (JTA)-Rumania Chief Rabbi Moses Rosen, making a reversal from an earlier statement, asserted here that the new Rumanian law requiring all emigrants to reimburse the government for the free secondary and higher education , they had received, would in fact be applied to those Jews seeking to make aliya. "Just as I announced then (last November) the positive approach of the authorities in Bucharest, I feel obliged to report... on the change that has taken place in Rumania and that the new law also applies to Jews," Rosen told reporters. The publication of the new directive last November caused widespread consternation among Jews around the world. The Reagan Administration has repeatedly warned that the education tax could affect Most Favored Nation Trade status to Rumania on the grounds thatthe new law violates the terms of the Jackson-Vanik Amendment to the Foreign Trade Act which links trade with Communist bloc nations to their emigration policies Following the publication of the tax law, Rosen asserted that the Rumanian government, for many decades, has made a'distinc- ' tion between "emigration" and "aliya." He added that Jews seeking to emigrate would therefore be "treated in a totally different way." Rosen told reporters here that his earlier statement was made after he received assurances from Rumanian officials "at the highest level." He said the Rumanian government did not collect the tariff from some 40 Jews who left the country since the tax was announced. But since then, Rosen added, he has been informed that the authorities resumed collecting the tax from Jews emigrating to Israel. Rosen was speaking against the background of a report last week from Bucharest which quoted an unidentified Rumanian government- official dismissing press reports that Jews and ethnic Germans would be exempt from the education tax. "The decree does not make any distinctions and applies to Rumanian citizens who want to settle abroad," the official was quoted as saying. "It's logical and moral that all citizens reimburse society for investments made for their education." V E.

NEW YORK (JTA)- Further confirmation of the knowing role of the Vatican in the escape of Barbie—as well as scores if not hun-. dreds of other SS genocid- ists—came in a hitherto "Top Secret" 35-page set of State Department documents which have come into , my possession, largely by way of my Freedom of Information requests over the past five years. It is an internal memoran-' dum, classified "Top Secret" and dated May 14, 1947. Copies are shown to have been sent to the head of the "American Legation in Vienna" and to the then U.S. Secretary of State, five-star General George Catlett Marshall. The State Department has refused to discuss this report, , The title of the "Top Secret" report is "Illegal Emigration Movements In and Through Italy.'' Its author was Vincent La Vista, an international lawyer, then (1947) military attache to the American embassy in Rome and already a skilled intelligence/diplomatic State Department officer. The "La Vista Report" as it became known in American intelligence circles, broke down into precise detail more than 22 permutations of SS, Nazi Party, ethnic collaborators who were knowingly guided safely through the Vatican's "monastery route." The La Vista Report also noted in detail the names and political backgrounds of the high-ranking members ' of the Roman Catholic hierarchy who master-minded the war criminals' escape routes along which Barbie successfully fled. Alois Hudal, Bishop of Elia, resident of Collegio Teuton- ica de Santa Maria dell' Anima in Vatican City. Hudal personally had welcomed many SS escapees. Hudal defied public criticism of a high cleric's intercession in behalf of wanted Nazi mass murderers: "I am neither police nor cara- binieri," hesaidinl947. "My Christian duty is to save whoever can be saved." Hudal's background, address and telephone numbers—along with the fact of his "directing" the escapees from the Munich/Augsberg/ Austrian region—are carefully recorded in the documented pages of the "Top Secret" La \ ista Report. can countries as well. .. with people of all political beliefs as long as they are (CONTINUED ON PAGE 11) Edwin M.

In making his appointments, Ellman stated that he has selected three community leaders to be his "partners" in the special peoplte- to-people fundraising day on Wednesday, March 16. "Diane, Norman and Gary agree that Jewish needs are best communicated oh a one- to-one basis at a highly personal level: My three partners ,in this revitalized fund- raising effort hope to solicit strong Columbus Jewish community support. They will be joined by other partners in helping to sustain our Jewish lifeline." Partners Day is the Advance Gift section's organized day of face-to-face fundraising for the United Jewish Fund and features a three part program which begins with a breakfast kick- off at 8 a.m. and concludes with a Victory Cocktail Party at 5 p.m. The interven ing time combines partnered solicitors visiting prospects to solicit a United Jewish Fund gift and to further extend the concept of partnership in helping to build a strong Jewish community.

The poll was conducted by telephone between Feb. 11 and 16 and surveyed 1,248 adults nationwide. According to the poll, 80 percent of those surveyed agreed with the claim that "unless Israel punished those who allowed the massacre to take place, then Israel will lose much of its claim to being a moral, democratic country." Seventy-two percent agreed that "by keeping Sharon in his Cabinet, Begin has created a real doubt that his government is really ad- itting it was wrong" to 1 ive allowed Lebanese hristian Phalangists into e refugee camps, the poll id. Furthermore, 67 per- nt maintained that "since 1 ;gin has not really gotten rid of Sharon, Begin should dissolve his government and call an early election to let the people of Israel decide whether Begin has done the right thing about the Lebanese massacre," the poll reported. But according to the poll, many Americans, 62 percent of those surveyed, still view Israel as basically a friendly state. The poll noted that in Nov. 1982,72 percent, and in 1981, 81 percent, viewed Israel as a friendly state. ".il t-»^ « ^ frUfC+ti t ivt4*-I*J*H(9,aP*
