Rabbi warns Arabs
before marching
By ALLYN FISHER
Associated Press Writer
JERUSALEM - Rabbi Meir
Kahane, the U.S.-born member of
Parliament who wants to evict all
Arabs from Israel, said that resi
dents of an Arab town should “sit
quietly” when he and his armed
followers march in today.
Kahane announced the planned
visit to Um al Fahm in central
Israel earlier this month.
“There is no such thing as a
concept of an Arab village in Is
rael,” Kahane told a news confer
ence yesterday. "Um al Fahm is a
Jewish village temporarily occu
pied by Arabs. This is a Jewish
country. Um al Fahm has no right
to exist. *
“I advise the Arabs to just sit
quietly,” he said. “We will cer
tainly not start trouble. It they
start the violence, they will be
responsible for what happens.”
Officials in the town of 26,000
have warned that a demonstration
by Kahane’s Kach movement may
lead to violence. Kahane said
many Kach members with gun
licenses would carry weapons into
the village.

Interior Minister Yosef Burg
said yesterday that Kahane can
not be prevented from going to Um
al Fahm because of his status as a
Knesset (parliament) member.
But Burg called Kahane’s an
nouncement about the planned
visit “a provocative statement
that constitutes an act of violence”
and likely would damage Jewish-
Arab relations.
Burg said there would be a large
police force in the village during
Kahane’s march.
Some liberal Israeli Parliament
members have said they would
demonstrate in Um al Fahm today
in solidarity with the Arabs and
against Kahane.
Kahane, 51, founded the Jewish
Defense League in New York,
immigrated to Israel in 1971 and
was elected to the Knesset July 23
on his fourth try. He retains his
American citizenship.
He said his followers visited Um
al Fahm on Monday and handed
out fliers in Hebrew.
The notices, also distributed at
the news conference, ask Arabs to
fill out coupons and send them to
Kahane’s office in exchange for a
promise to help them obtain visas.

Plutonium security plan meets protest
By BILL McCLOSKEY
Associated Press Writer
WASHINGTON Two members of Congress
are protesting Reagan administration plans to pay
for a military escort and other security measures
for a shipment of 400 pounds of plutonium from
France to Japan.
“With our budget deficit soaring and our do
mestic programs cut to the bone, I don’t think we
can afford to be picking up these kinds of tabs,”
Sen. William Proxmire, D-Wis., said in a
statement.
He was commenting on a letter of complaint that
he and Rep. Richard L. Ottinger, D-N.Y., sent to
budget director David A. Stockman. Neither legis
lator nor any administration official could provide
a cost estimate for the security measures.
Japan wants to transport more than 400 pounds
De Lorean associate
indicted for drugs
FLEMINGTON, N.J. (AP) - A
grand jury yesterday indicted the
personal secretary of former auto
maker John Z. De Lorean on two
counts of cocaine possession and
conspiracy to distribute the drug,
the county prosecutor said.
Cynthia Lee Brady, 30, was one
of four people arrested.in a hotel
room in Clinton Township on June
27, said prosecutor William Palle
ria.
Brady, who lives on De Lorean’s
estate in Far Hills, was charged
with possession of eight grams of
the drug, Palleria said. Brady is
free on $15,000 bail and arraign
ment is scheduled for Sept. 7. •
“She’s still working at the
house,” said a woman who an
swered the telephone at the De
Lorean residence who identified
herself only as Carter.
A co-defendant, George Covey of
Big Bear, Calif., was indicted yes
terday on one count of conspiracy
to distribute cocaine. He agreed on
Aug. 15 to plead guilty and was
of fissionable plutonium on a cargo ship from
France for use in a Japanese research reactor.
The United States has approval rights on the
shipment because the plutonium came from en
riched uranium the United States originally sup
plied to Japan. After it was used in Japanese
reactors, it was sent to France to be reprocessed to
extract the plutonium.
Proxmire and Ottinger wrote Stockman that the
administration had agreed to pay for “consider
able additional security,” and said Japan should
reimburse the United States for all the costs.
The letter quotes Energy Secretary Donald P.
Hodel as saying “the cargo vessel will be contin
uously monitored and will be'escorted by U.S.
military units in designated areas, to minimize
response time in the event of an incident.”
A Proxmire spokesman said the timing and
exact route of the plutonium shipment was secret.
being held in the Hunterdon Coun
ty jail on $25,000 bail, the prosecu
tor said. A sentencing date has not
yet been set.
Charges were dropped against
the other two people arrested, 1
John Kamen, 21, and Wendy Koch,
20, both of Bridgewater, Palleria
said.
The arrests followed a raid by
Clinton Township police and mem
bers of the Hunterdon-Sussex-
Warren Tri-County Narcotics
Unit. During the raid, packets of
cocaine were seized in a room at
the Fountain Motel and in Brady’s
purse, the prosecutor said.
Police had received a tip from
an employee of the motel who had
seen drug paraphernalia in the
room where the raid was con
ducted.
De Lorean, 59, was acquitted
Aug. 16 of conspiring to distribute
$24 million worth of cocaine.
Brady faces as a maxiumum of
12 years in prison if convicted,
Palleria said.
Panhel votes on two
new rush procedures
By JEANETTE KREBS
Collegian Staff Writer
Two new procedures for rush,
which begins this week, were voted
on at the first Panhellenic Council
meeting last night at Delta Tau Delta
fraternity, 429 E. Hamilton Ave.
Maryellen Kiernan, rush coordina
tor, explained to Panhel members'
about a different bidding system and
post offices for rush this fall.
The bidding will be done by individ
ual rush counselors this year instead
of by each sorority, Kiernan said.
Kiernan said the role of the rush
counselor will be bigger this year. On
Bidding night the women will meet
with their counselors, receive'their
bid, then go to the HUB and meet as
one panhellenic group. They will then
be separated into rush groups.
“We want the rushees to know that rush mixer in the HUB Ballroom

Energy Department spokesman Philip D. Keif
said the Japanese are bearing almost all of the
cost of the shipment, including rebuilding a ship
especially to handle the plutonium properly and
keep it secure during the trip. He said the United
States will pay for “a little extra security.”
“We decided we want to make sure the shipment
is protected very well,” Keif said in a telephone
interview. He , said the Energy Department be
lieves the measures are “well worth the effort.”
He said the Defense Department, which will
provide the security, estimates the costs will be
“incidental and minimal” because U.S. naval
vessels already will be “tracking and monitoring”
along the route.
“This is Japanese plutonium, traveling aboard a
Japanese cargo vessel, destined for a Japanese
research reactor,” Proxmire and Ottinger wrote.
Independent residents complained
in the past about being disturbed by
the large numbers of sorority mem
bers going to the dormitories on bid
night, Kiernan added.
She also said some rushees who did
not receive a bid in the past were hurt
if a sorority came to give their room
mate a bid.
The hours for the rush post office
will be shorter this year to enable the
different sororities to prepare for
rush parties that are held later on the
same night, Kiernan said.
Patty Wolf, Panhellenic Council
president, said this year’s rushees
seem enthusiastic and she is pleased
with the 347 women that have already
registered prior to the official begin
