LONDON (JTA)-Pre-
mier Shimon Peres of Israel
proposed last week that the
/•economically advanced and
industrial nations of the
world give impetus, to the
Middle East peace process
by backing a new "Marshall
Plan."
'■' Addressing the Royal, Institute of International Affairs at Chatham House, the
Israeli leader urged the U.S.,
Europe and some nations of
the Middle East to enlistln
such a venture. If the cause
of peace is to be furthered,
then the infrastructure and
industrial base of the countries involved must be
broadened, he said, adding
that the project should be
launched even before the
region's political problems
are solved. -
The Marshall Plan, initiated by Secretary of State
George Marshall in the immediate aftermath of World
War II, saw the U.S. contribute sniife '$iybiHfbn""to1yar'a'
the physical and economic
reconstruction of a Europe
devastated by six years of
war. It is largely credited
with the economic revival of
the West European nations
and stemming the advance
of Communism.  The U.S.

Senator Lee I. Fisher (D-
Cleveland) will introduce a
bill in the Ohio Senate which
would increase the criminal
penalties for crimes involving ethnic vandalism and intimidation. The measure is
modeled after legislation
drafted by the Anti-Defamation League of B'nai B'rith.
This legislation is designed
to confront a recent upsurge
both of vandalism against
houses of worship, schools
and other institutions and
acts of ethnic assault, threat
and^harassmentjjljese, include a series of racially-
based crimes in Cleveland
ranging from cross-burnings
to bombings; the vandalizing and harassment of a predominantly-black Baptist
Church in Columbus by the
white community which surrounds it and an increase in
anti-Semitic harassment experienced during 1985 by
Ohio's Jewish communities.
"Ethnic bias crimes
generally have a more devastating effect upon the victims and upon an entire segment of a society than do
similar crimes committed
for other reasons," said Alan
S. Katchen, director of the
Ohio-Kentucky-Indiana
Regional Office of the Anti-
Defamation League. "These

for these crimes, therefore,

Peres, in his address,
warned the Palestinian peo-
j)le that they have to choose
between violence and a commitment to peaceful dialogue. He vowed that Israel
will never negotiate with the
Palestine Liberation Organization but noted that there
are many responsible
Palestinian leaders in the
West Bank and Gaza Strip
who could join King Hussein
of Jordon "on the journey to
peace and the negotiating
table."
