Until last weekend, Begin had
intended to present his govern-

binding Knesset resolution that
no Jewish settlement will ever be
removed as part of a peace agree-
ment with any Arab country.
BUT HE abandoned that idea
when informed by Peres that
Labor would not support such a
resolution. Although the govern-

by the Knesset, its adoption by a

All four were on a list of 13
names of Jewish prisoners that
the A JC group handed to General

in Buenos Aires. Subsequently,
AJC in New York heard from a
high Argentine Foreign Ministry

names on the list would be re-

The 1982 Tampa Jewish
Federation-United Jewish Ap-
peal annual campaign has topped
the $825,000 mark, according to
George Karpay, general chair-
man and Lois Older, Women's
Division chairman. On a card-for-
card basis, the 1982 figure is ap-
proximately 25 percent ahead of
the 1981 campaign.
"With nearly $200,000 remain-
ing from contributions to the
1981 campaign and with a con-
certed effort to reach new pros-
pects, the possibility of the
Tampa Jewish community reach
ine $1 million dollars is certainly
realistic," Karpay reported.
While the needs for Tampa,
national and worldwide Jewry,
including Israel, require a
minimum of $1.2 million in 1982,
Pakistan Bars Commission;
Group's Head is Jewish
By EDWIN EYTAN
PARIS (JTA) Pakistan
has barred a European Parlia-
mentary commission from en-
tering its territory and meeting
with Afghani refugees because
the head of the commission is a
Jewish deputy associated with
Israel. The European Parliament
in Strasbourg said it cancelled
the visit which was due to have
gone to Pakistan last week.
The group barred from Paki-
stan is chaired by Paris Gaullist
Deputy Gerard Israel, secretary
general of the Alliance Israelite
Universelle. He is also one of the
lay leaders of the Council of
Major Jewish Organizations in
France (CRIF).
Pakistan informed Belgium,
whose Foreign Minister currently
heads the European Economic
Community's Council of Minis-
ters, that it will not permit
Gerard Israel to enter because of
his "close links with Israel." Bel-
gium tried through its ambassa-
dor to Pakistan to have the
decision shelved.
When Pakistan refused, the
European Parliament decided to
cancel the mission altogether.
Several deputies have asked
Western European governments
to reconsider their financial help
and humanitarian assistance to
the refugee camps in Pakistan.
breaking the $1 million plateau
will be a milestone in community
history. Karpay cautioned "that
we still have a difficult task
ahead of us to reach the million
dollar mark and it will take the
cooperation of our most dedi-
cated workers and leadership as
well as the desire on the part of
our contributors to make
maximum commitments to the
1982 campaign."
Last week, over 50 campaign
volunteers worked each evening
to contact all prospects who had
not made their 1982 pledge.
While the campaign was
scheduled to conclude by Apr. 30,
Federation officials plan to con-
tinue their efforts through the
next several weeks in an attempt
to bring the campaign to its suc-
cessful conclusion.
"Unless a minimum of $1 mil-
lion is raised, the Tampa commu-
nity will find itself in the most
undesirable position of not being
able to allocate badly needed
funds to Tampa agencies," said
Gary Alter, Tampa Jewish
Federation executive director. "If
you have not as yet responded by
making a 1982 campaign pledge,
you are urged to not let down
your fellow Jews and the thou-
sands of people who depend upon
our community support, by
making your financial commit-
ment today," Alter concluded.

The artists rendering of the
new 85 unit Mary Walker Apart-
ments now under construction is
pictured above. Sponsored by
Tampa Jewish Federation Hous-
ing, Inc., the seven story building
located on Mission Hills Drive
and 50th Street, near Temple
Terrace, will be ready for occu-
pancy in Jury or August, 1982,
according to Link Elozory,
Tampa Jewish Federation
Housing Inc.Board President.
The 85 apartment units for the
elderly, including 10 units for the
handicapped, is being funded by
the Untied States Department of
Housing and Urban Develop-
ment (HUD). The building was
designed by Jacob Gottfried of
Gottfried and Garcia, AIA.PA.
The apartment site is on property
which was owned by Sol Walker
and subsequently sold to HUD.
Walker, who instigated the
project and provided the initial
seed money and off-site costs, has
donated 2.4 acres of land ad-
jacent to the apartment project
to the Tampa Jewish Federation.
The Housing Board of Directors
has voted to name the project
"Mary Walker Apartments," in
memory of Walker's late wife.
Project administrator for the
Mary Walker Apartments, Juli-
ette Rodriguez, is currently re-
cruiting volunteers to help when
the apartments open. Anyone in-
terested in joining a volunteer
corps is asked to contact Ms.
Rodriguez at 870-1830.
