Reagan, interrupted in his meetings over the week- end with Mexico's Presi- dent Jose Lopez Portillo, approved the official state- ment despite the fact that it includes a threat to con- tinued U.S. military aid to Israel. Currently, this aid amounts to more than $1 billion worth of arms pledged in 1982. THE NUB of the U.S. repudia- tion of the raid is predicated on the fact that the Israeli strike was carried out by planes manu- factured in the U.S., and which were sold to Israel on the proviso that they be used for defense pur- poses only. Israel insists that its bombing of the Iraqi nuclear reactor was defensive. More than a dozen F16s and F15s were involved in the Israeli action. Israeli pilots, speaking only in Arabic, and identifying themselves as Jor- danians, flew over more than 60C miles of Arab air space to reach their target. They refueled in midair at some point in their 1,200-mile roundtrip. In a State Department state- ment here, Department spokes- man Dan Fischer declared, "The United States condemns the re- ported Israeli attack on Iraq. The unprecedented attack can not but add to the high level of tensions in the area.'' FISCHER ADDEDthat"U.S.- supplied equipment was em- ployed in violation of U.S. law, and a report to this effect is being made to Congress." U.S. intelligence sources meanwhile confirmed that the planes demolished the 70-mega- watt reactor. At the same time, the State Department empha- sized that the United States knew nothing about the raid until Prime Minister Menachem Begin telephoned U.S. Ambassador Samuel Lewis Sunday night in Jerusalem to tell him about it. That was only after all Israeli planes had returned safely from their mission. In the face of mounting inter- national furor over the raid. Prime Minister Begin said over Israeli radio Monday night, "We are not afraid of any reaction by the world ... We had to act to safeguard the safety and well- being of the Israeli people and its homeland..." WHEN RICHARD Allen, President Reagan's National Security Adviser, first told the President of the raid on Sunday Continued on Page & In Pans MitterandNot Likely To Okay New N-PUmt By EDWIN EYTAN PARIS (JTA) - The new French ad- ministration of President Francois Mitterrand will probably refuse to sign a new contract for the re- construction of the Iraqi nuclear plant bombed Sunday by Israeli planes. Reliable French sources said that "France will deplore the attack but re- fuse to renew either the former contracts or the actual work." Before his election, Mitter- rand said that, had he been in power, France would not have approved the Franco-Iraqi nu- clear agreements signed under President Valery Giscard D'Estaing. Since Mitterrand's election, May 10, leading mem- bers of his idministration have reiterated this view while stressing, however, that France will honor all of the previous ad- ministration's contracts and commitments. Many observers here believe that the Israeli raid has actually helped Mitterrand out of a thorny situation. NEGOTIATIONS between France and Iraq were started in 1975 when the then French Premier, Jacques Chirac, paid an official visit to Baghdad. Chirac and Iraq's "strong man," Saddam Hussein, agreed to ex- change oil for nuclear know-how. In 1976, the official agreement providing for the construction of the Osirak reactor was signed and in 1980 an additional agree- ment provided for French delivery of 72 kilograms and 93 percent enriched uranium which the French said was too poor to be used for military purposes.

In an exceptional announcement during the Shavuoth holiday at 4 p.m. (1400 GMIT), the Israel government said the action had been ordered as it had been learned from the "most authoritative and credible sources" that the reactor was intended, despite Iraqi denials, to produce nuclear bombs. The announcement said that the Iraqi President had himself announced, after the reactor had been slightly damaged by the Iranians a year ago. that the weapons it would produce would be used only against Israel, and the Iranians therefore had nothing to fear. ALL THE Israeli planes re- turned safely to base after their raid, the longest-ranged ever car- ried out by Israeli aircraft, apart from the Entebbe rescue operation. The government announce- ment said the bombs to be produced by the Osiriak reactor near Baghdad would be made from enriched uranium and plutonium, the type used at Hiroshima, and they therefore endangered Israel's very existence. It continued by saying the government had received two dates for the probable completion of the reactor construction, again from the "most credible sources" the beginning of the month of July, or the beginning of Sep- tember. Action had to be taken to destroy it now, as the reactor would be active and "hot" in a short while, and no Israeli Gov- ernment could accept responsi- bility for attacking a "hot" re- actor. Such at attack would have sent waves of radioactive material over the city of Bagh- dad, with serious consequences to the country's innocent population. THE ANNOUNCEMENT said the government had therefore waited patiently during construction of the reactor for the most propitious moment before it became too late to destroy it without danger to civi- lians, the announcement noted that the Iraqis, on the other hand, were ready to drop atomic bombs on Israel's civilian population. The raid was planned for Sun- day on the expectation that none if any of the between 100 and 120 foreign experts working in its construction would be on the site on a Sunday. The assumption was correct, and no foreign experts were hurt in the raid, the announcement said. (One French technicians was killed in the operation Ed.) It added that "two European countries" had agreed to help the Iraqis build the reactor "in return for oil." It did not name them but appealed to them to stop their as- sist ance in building reactors for the destruction of human beings. "Under no conditions will we allow the enemy to produce such inhuman weapons, the an- nouncement said. "We shall defend our people, in time and by all the means at our disposal," the Israel Government an- nouncement said. Continued from Page 1 Council of Jewish Community workshop.

We never get tired of talking about Jewish organizations and the Noah's flood of awards they give to non-Jewish personalities. We never get tired because today's Jewish hero in the Gentile com- munity is tomorrow's bum. Remember Dorothy Thompson the darling of th Zionist set who overnight turned anti-Israel, anti-Zionist and allegedly anti-Semitic? The ex- amples of this kind of metamorphosis are legion and, one would think, of sufficient magnitude to warrant greater caution on the part of Jewish organizations who operate on the principle that things are far more kosher on the other side of the fence. Comes now Yeshiva University's planned award to J. Peter Grace, the prominent industrialist, at a Yeshiva dinner June 16 to honor Grace for his "out- standing leadership in civic and humanitarian en- deavors .'' The dinner is now canceled. Why? Not much reason other than the fairly-well documented allegations that Grace is connected with one of the most notorious "desk murderers" of the Holocaust, Otto Ambros, a director of the I. G. Farben Chemical Co. during World War II. Farben operated the slave labor concentration camp, Buna Monowitz. Remember? (Sec our rtiftfttottMpMN^t When will our Jewish leaders and organizations ever learn? Reagan Does It Again; New Envoy's Taste in Question There is nothing like a meshumud (a convert from Judaism) when it comes to Jewish self-hatred Such us the case with Robert Neumann, who is Presi- dent Reagan's new appointee as U.S. Ambassador to Saudi Arabia. Neumann is careful to let everybody know that he was imprisoned in a Nazi concentration camp in 1938 because he opposed Hitler the 65-year-old Neumann was born in Vienna. He is also careful to let everybody know that he is not Jewish. He puts it this way: "A great majority opposing the Nazis in my time were not Jewish.'' There would be nothing wrong with it if he were assumed Jewish, Neumann recently told an inter- viewer. Still, reports the interviewer, Neumann re- peatedly makes the point that he is not. But the fact is that Neumann was born Jewish and converted to Catholicism at age 17, which is cer- tainly his privilege. But how about the fact that, as vice chairman of Georgetown University's pres- tigious Center for Strategic and International Studies, Neumann long called for the U.S. to open a dialogue with the Palestine Liberation Organization. "Palestine," he has said, "is the core problem" in re- solving the Arab-Israeli dispute. What is more, how about President Reagan's appointing such an "objective'' soul as Neumann to be this nation's envoy to Saudi Arabia, whose king recently called for a jihad (holy war) against Israel? Coming on the heels of the President's contro- versial nomination of Ernest Lefever as Assistant Secretary of State for Humanitarian Affairs, the appointment of Neumann seems to be of the same ilk. Lefever, among other things, has been accused of allegedly believing that Blacks are intellectually in- ferior by their genetic nature a thought for the Guinness Book of Records for a human rights ad- vocate. ~ Jewish Floridian of Tun pa BtiamaaaOTOcr MM Haodaraoc Blvd..

REPORTS of a renewed alliance between Saudi Arabia and the Soviet Union make little sense on their face. Second thoughts put the reports into two categories of possibility. The first would see such a resumption in diplomatic arrangement in much the same way as history teaches us to view the pre-World War II accord between Hitler Germany and Josef Stalin's Kremlin: 1) A desperate scrambling for time by the Saudis to shore up their crumbling imperial regime before, like Iran's, it falls prey to internecine struggle betweeen political and religious extremism; 2> A daring ploy on the part of the Russians to return to the Middle East arena in force, until. Leo Mindlin m now dominated by the United States, even if through some un- likely a back door as the royal house of Saud. In this scenario, the Saudis respond seductively. THE SECOND category suggests that the Saudis are attempting to put the squeeze on Washington, particularly in terms of the AWACS sale to them, which is meeting stronB opposition m the Congress but which is also causing anerv counter-offensive action in the form of threatening Ad- ministration warnings to the American Jewish commuity and the Government of Israel to abandon their orchestrated criticism of the sale. There is nothing like the potency of reports of a renewed Soviet-Saudi alliance to give the Administration and the Saudis whatever they want the Congress, the American Jewish community and Israel be damned. As of this writing, it is still too early to tell which of these two categories of possibility is correct, or even if both are wrong. Thus far, it can only be a matter of educated speculation but, if in the end, the reports are veitftd as true, we are all of us in for a heap of trouble. For both pos- sibilities are clearly linked, and cither one will show the real ex- tent of the weakness of Saudi Arabia and the collateral ab- surdity of the U.S. effort to cast King Khalid in the role of reliable and effective military ally. As for the Russians, there is no limit to the mischievousness they can make wherever they are invited in. A MORE "optimistic" view would be to focus on the second possibility suggested here in terms of raw power. If the news reports have been orchestrated to manipulate American' public opinion toward an underwriting of the Reagan Administration's decision to sell the Saudis a wide range of strategic weapons, in- cluding the AWACS, what is the purpose of the orchestration licyond the sale itself? The answer is more than an act of successful Saudi manipulation Continued on Page 9 Electronic Miracles on Israel's TV Screens Friday, June 12. 1981 Volume 3 10 SI VAN 5741 Number 23 The director lifted his finger. Moshe Dayan spoke into the mi- crophone, and the electronic signal was launched on an mazing journey. By wire it ascended to the roof of the studio and from there was beamed by microwave to the ground station at Emek Haelah, not far from Je- rusalem. At that point it was im- mediately given a good shove into space, and leaped 36,000 miles to the Atlantic Satellite circling the earth. It bounced neatly off the Satellite and by adroit maneuvering that would be the envy of any billiards player, hit the receiver at Etam. in West Virginia, another 36.000 miles away. From there to the ABC Studios in Washington and thence to millions of television sets all over America was child's play compared to the previous steps of its journey. The entire procedure took something like 58 seconds. That was an on-the-spot live interview with Gen. Dayan by a team from ABC's "Issues and Aiwwm" which we watched, but it was a little different from luiidivds of other similar broad- casts which take place regularly from the House of Magic, better known as the Herzliya Studios. When M argot Klausner founded the Studios in 1948 for the production of films, this at a time when the guns of the War of Liberation had not yet been silenced, people thought she was crazy. Since then the Studios have produced well over a thou- sand feature films, and countless thousands of documentaries and television program. WHEN SHE later borrowed to the hilt, and put $500,000 into linking her Studios with the Western world through Comra- sul, lilt-. I he Communications Satel- :i friends thought she had had a mental breakdown. The value of such a connection in this age of electronic media no longer needs explanation. Mrs. Klausner died a few years ago. but her aggressive and creative general manager. Yit- zhak Kol. became president of the company, and carries on. The Studios are a family corporation owned by the son and daughter of the founder. Kol not only runs the business but he also produces, stages directs and thinks up new' projects If one looks carefully, the rambling grounds, just off J "**. h*rt of downtown Herzliya. bear a resemblance to Uie old style Hollywood lot. It was here that the Blaumilch f V ,built for KMwmTs famous fUm; here rose a replica of Jevyes,A,/. Here, soon, will be shot much of a new four-hour film IhJP?ramountLto be broadcast in the U.S. in the fall. It will be known succinctly as "Golda" affiliate Berkey Pathe Hum- as United Studios of Israel. They level "fifm mn?POly n h,*h ve f,lrn and teIevision production because of the wealth ' i-ulod equipment they liiivi mcumulated, and the skill lul pioksMonal manpower they have attracted.

Next time vou see u live broadcast from Israsi remember that 36.000 miles up - and back again. Yitzhak Kol now has his eyes on acquiring the rights lor a second television channel one which will provide a much-needed injection to official Israel TV which, he feels, has become jaded for lack of competition.

Sam and Sarah have two (hildren. both of whom are orried and beginning to develop eir own financial security. Sam ,. Sarah have lived in their ersonal residence for over 25 .ears; it is debt-free and has [ppreriated significantly in value Iver the years. Sam is interested In making some kind of present Endowment gifts to the Founda- tion for the benefit of his Federa- tion's Endowment Program, but le does not feel that he can afford i part with any of his cash or se- curities at this time. Sam would ike to make a gift during his life- time to secure the advantage of a lurrent income tax charitable (eduction. Q: How can Sam and Sarah Donorwitz get an income tax lharitable deduction without Presently giving anything away? A: We have often heard the ex- pression, "Having Your Cake ^nd Eating it. Too." The above iluation fits that description. It . not only possible to achieve the Hijective sought by our hypothe- tical donor, but in many cases it I' quite feasible from an income lax and estate planning point of liew. The tax laws provide a means In which a taxpayer, without /presently" giving away any- thing, may obtain a current income tax charitable deduction and ultimately benefit a chari- table organization. This objective may be accomplished without the necessity of setting up a trust, with little or no cost in making the gift and without depleting the size of the estate that passes from spouse to spouse (in a very real sense it may increase the amount of the estate that passes tax free to a surviving spouse). There is no magic or slight-of-hand in- volved here is how it works. A person may give away a "re- mainder" interest in a personal residence or farm. This, in effect, is a contribution of the absolute ownership of a personal residence or farm which takes effect at some time in the future. Although the right to ownership is vested in the present, the actual right to possession of the property by the Charitable Organization does not occur until some time in the future, i.e., on a certain date or on the occurrence of an event such as, the death of the donor or his survivor. Therefore, Sam and Sarah Do- norwitz, since they own their personal residence jointly, could execute a deed transferring their personal residence to Sam for life and on his death to Sarah for her life, remainder to the TOP Jewish Foundation for the benefit of their Federation. What are the advantages of making such a gift? Gift of Future "Remainder" Interest provides donor with income tax charitable deduction in year he executes and records the deed (makes the gift). Amount of deduction based on act uarially calculated value of re- mainder interest ultimately passing to charity. Because donor and spouse retain a "life estate" in the personal residence, they have the absolute right to the use, oc- cupation and enjoyment of their personal residence until surviv- ing spouse is deceased. Value of personal residence will be included in donor's gross estate for estate tax purposes. However, such value if offset by an estate tax charitable deduction. Effect of including value of personal residence in estate will increase the size of the marital deduction (amount of estate passing tax free to sur- viving spouse). Overall result will be a current income tax Charitable Deduction, decrease in estate tax liability and an increase in the estate passing tax free to surviving spouse. This mode of making an en- dowment gift can be utilized suc- cessfully by almost anyone. It may be particularly suited for a widow or widower who does not want to part with securities or cash, but desires to make a life- time gift to secure a present income tax deduction. Also, a married couple whose children are grown and on their own would benefit from making such a gift. In order to take advantage of making this type of endowment gift there are several important points to keep in mind. It is only the "personal residence" or "farm" of the donor that qualifies for this special tax treatment. (A Commercial Property or vacant lot would not qualify). A "Personal Residence" is defined under the Internal Revenue Code as "Any property used by the taxpayer as his personal resi- dence, even though it may not be his principal residence." In typical hyperbolic fashion the Code says personal residence means personal residence. A "farm" has been defined in the Code as "Any land, along with its improvements, that is used by a taxpayer (or his tenant) for the production of crops, fruits or other agricultural products or for the sustenance of livestock." Thus, it can be seen that an Orange Grove used for produc- tion of oranges would qualify as a "farm". "Personal residence" has l>een interpreted to include a va- cation home used bv the tax- 071 1815 S.Rome Helen Chavez aa'^i Ph. 251-8783 Open 11 to 2:30 Mon. thru Frl.

Florida 33602 813/228-7471 payer, as well as stock owner by a taxpayer as a tenant-stockholder in a co-operative housing corpo- ration, if such dwelling is oc- cupied by the taxpayer as a personal residence. The definitions, as they have been in- terpreted, are quite flexible. Such an endowment gift might be ideal for the retired couple who maintain both a personal resi- dence in Florida and a personal residence up north. Either or both of the properties would qualify under the definition of "personal residence." The second point to remember is that the amount of the deduc- tion that is allowable must take into consideration the value of the personal residence or farm property. Thus, the donor must get an appraisal of his personal residence or farm property to de- termine the fajr market value of the property at the time the gift is made and this figure would then be reduced using calcula- tions prescribed by law. Obviously, the shorter the wait- ing period until the charitable organization would come into full possession of the property, tna larger the income tax charitable deduction. Using this method to make an endowment gift, a person of modest means, who does not need to have his personal residence or farm sold at the time of his death to provide cash flow for his family, can become a Jewish Philanthropist As in any tax planning matter, however, a donor should consult his legal and-or tax advisor before consid- ering such a transaction.

NEW YORK (JSPS) Hun garian Jews are justifiably proud of their freedom of religion, which is considerably greater than in most other communist bloc coun- tries Judaism has the same official standing in Hungary as 01 her religions. The Jewish com- munity has 117 synagogues and 28 raobis. Budapest's Jewish Theological Seminary is the only rabbinical seminary in commu- nist Europe, and provides train- ing to Soviet. Bulgarian, and Czech as well as Hungarian students The Hungarian Matzah Factory and kosher winery serve both the domestic and export markets But it doesn't take long for the \ isitor to learn that in Hungary one just does not talk about any- thing Jewish that is not directly connected with synagogue life. The list of prohibited topics includes: Zionism, organized Jewish youth activity, assimila- tion, emigration, and the propor- tion of people under age forty in the Jewish population. For our group of visiting American journalists it was a frustrating situation. Constantly escorted by three representatives of the state-authorized Central Board of Hungarian Jewry (MIOK). we were kept busy all day every day for a week, touring Jewish institutions. We were rarely given the opportunity to speak to anyone outside the official leadership, and almost never privately. It was impossi- ble to verify the picture of a thriving Jewish community that our hosts were so anxious to im- press us with. CENSORSHIP AND SELF-CENSORSHIP Our group of Jewish journal- ists arrived in Hungary on Mon- day noon By two o'clock we were being feted by our hosts in the deluxe Intercontinental Hotel. This was the first of a seemingly endless series of eleborate meals, each replete with aperitif, goulash soup, wine, and Hungar- ian pastry. We must have eaten in every fancy tourist hotel in Budapest with hardly a Hun- garian Jew in sight, outside of our hosts from MIOK. The trip was arranged with the help of the Joint Distribution Committee (JDC). the interna- tional agency responsible for aiding Jewish communities abroad. JDC and MIOK signed a tripartite agreement last year with the Hungarian government, under which JDC provides finan- cial support for Hungarian Jewish relief and welfare activ- ities. This opening of a major official channel of communication with Western Jews is important not only for the Hungarian Jewish community, but also to the Hungarian government, which would like to expand its trade with the West. (Currently Hungary's international trade is evenly balanced between the West and the Soviet bloc.) As an American Jew, I wondered whether Americans might be able to use Hungary's eagerness for Western trade as a lever to help maximize Hungar- ian Jewry's freedom of religious, cultural, and ethnic expression. I had hoped I could find out what were the aspects of Hungarian Jewish life that needed improve- ment, and that I would be able to communicate these needs to the American Jewish reading public. Instead, our group was actively discouraged from dwelling on po- tentially sensitive areas. We were told that anything we wrote that reflected poorly on tht life of Hungary's Jews would in- evitably reflect poorly on the leadership of MIOK. and could potentially harm the Jewish com- munity. Almost no one was wil- ling to risk jeopardizing the state's relative permissiveness in religious affairs or their own personal positions by talking about delicate issues certainly never on the record. When asked what were the three main problems facing Hungary's Jews. Dr Michael Borsa. who heads the local Committee for Social Assi- stance, replied. "I'd rather deal with questions relating to program. I don't want to talk about politics." On another occasion. I asked Rabbi Lasslo Szalgo. Chief Rabbi of Hungary as well as the Jewish representative in Parliament, if Hungarian Jewry had problems with assimilation and in- termarriage. "Yes." he said, "es- pedaHy many young Jewish girls marry non-Jewish men." "Do you have any programs to combat this trend?" I asked. "No. no. no!" he vehemently replied. In fact, the state organizes its own youth clubs, thus making it expressly impossible for the Jewish community to sponsor competing activities. Partly because of this type of restriction, most Joint Distribu- tion Committee programs are di- rected towards the needs of the elderly, all of whom are Holo- caust survivors. "We are helping an entire generation to die in dignity and comfort." points out Michael Schneider. Director of the JDC program in Hungary. $37,000 of' the JDC's million dollar budget in Hungary in 1981 goes toward religious supplies, educational equipment, and en- largement of the existing kinder garten. Most of the remainder is going toward cash and clothing assistance to the elderly, old age homes, and a kosher kitchen which provides meals for the ill and the needy. The JDC's intent is to free MIOK's other monies for education, religion, and provi- sion of services. The JDC disclaims programmatic responsibility. "We need to es- tablish ourselves as a non- interventionist force." says Schneider. "We need to show that we wont interfere in internal political matters." ACCURATE STATISTICS DIFFICULT TO OBTAIN The actual size of the Jewish population of Hungary is unclear. MIOK uses the statistic 100.000; the JDC uses 80.000. It seems likely that both of these figures are too large. The last survey of the Hungarian Jewish com- munity was taken shortly after World War II. At that time, it was found that 200.000 Jews (of a pre-Holocaust community of 750,000) had survived the war. Half the survivors chose to start a new life elsewhere. If the Hun- garian Jewish Board's figure of 100,000 were correct, it would mean that the Jewish population did not diminish at all in the past 33 years. This is true of none of the Holocaust-ravaged communi- ties of Eastern Europe, all of which suffer from disproportion- ately large elderly populations, as well as from assimilation and, in some cases, emigration. When I asked one Hungarian if he thought the 80.000 100.000 figure was correct, he replied only that "in Hungary a quartet has five members." Other statistics are equally hard to come by. Although MIOK provides the funding, none of our hosts seemed to know how many Talmud Torahs there were in Budapest or how many students study in them. The statistics we did gather were gleaned by accident. For example. Rabbi Szalgo mention- ed at one point that the mohel performs approximately one circumcision per week: later he mentioned that there is about one Jewish wedding a week. SCENES OF FORMER GREATNESS The Jewish Art Museum in Budapest, built on the very corner where Theodore Herzl was born, is filled to overflowing with books and religious objects, the remnants of the wealth of pre- Holocaust Hungarian Jewish culture. The concentration camp uniform which hangs in the same museum, the old-ge homes filled with family-less Holocaust survivors, and the memorial plaques listing tens of thousands of Holocaust victims are grim re- minders that even Hungarian Jew over 40 is a Holocaust survivor For me. the most poignant memorial of the former greatness of the Hungarian Jewish commu- nity appears on the surface to be I he greatest source of hope for the future the Budapest Jewish Theological Seminary. It ia one ot the most public signs of the relative tolerance of religion in Hungary. Our group visited the Semi- nary on Friday night. Before services started, Dr. Alexander Scheiber. the Seminary's Chan- cellor end an internationally respected scholar, took us on a tour of the library. The library had been hit by a bomb during the war and all but two shelves of books were destroyed. He showed us those books, their bindings cracked and their pages warped and moldy from exposure to cold and damp. Today the library contains 120.000 volumes, the books of those who didn't return. It was at the Seminary services that we saw, for the first and only time, a large number of young Jews. The sanctuary was filled to capacity with about 200 people, perhaps half of whom were under forty.

By DAVID KANTOR BONN leaders have expressed concern wer the lack of effective measures by West German authorities to deal with the resurgence of neo-Nazi activities, particularly among the youth. While the authorities are aware of the phenomenon, they seem to be blind to its political implications, according to speakers at a m minar on the subject organized l>\ the ruling Social Democratic Party (SPD). One example noted was the failure to register the far right- wing National Democratic Party (NPDI as a neo-Nazi or- ganization. Heinz Galinski. i liuinnan of the West Berlin Jew- ish community, took the legis- lators to task for failing to correct i hi present situation whereby only the relatives of death camp victims can sue neo-Nazis who spread propaganda that the Holocaust never occured. "This cannot be tolerated. We have to see to il that the State pros- i, u(ion initiates such cases," (iulinski said. JUSTICE MINISTER Juergen Schmude agreed that existing laws must be tightened to curb neo-Nazi propaganda or new laws introduced. He said the government has taken initiatives in that direction.

Much of the seminar was de- voted to discussion by experts of recent public opinion polls which showed that 13 percent of the West German population holds Schmidt Says Bonn's Attitude Not Changed By DAVID FRIEDMAN WASHINGTON (JTA) - Chancellor Helmut Schmidt of West Germany is maintaining that he agreed with the Arab view that if the West alienates the Palestinians, it drives them towards the Soviet Union. At the same time, Schmidt is stressing that West Germany's attitude toward the Palestine Liberation Organization depends on the PLO recognizing Israel's right to exist. "The Arab leaders and I share the view that the more the West alienates the Palestinians, the more will they be drawn toward the Soviet Union," Sch- midt said in a speech to the Na- tionul Press Club. He said that on his visits to Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, he found that the leaders of those coun- tries "fear that the smouldering Israeli-Arab crisis could offer the Soviet Union further op- portunities for interference in the region. SCHMIDT repeated what he had said in Riyadh about his government's position on the PLO. "Our German attitude toward the PLO will be deter- mined by the position which the PLO adops regarding the right to which the State of Israel, too, is entitled to live within secure and recognized frontiers," he staled. The West German policy in the Middle East was the subject of discussion between Schmidt and a seven-member delegation of the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Or- ganizations. After the meeting at hatred views characterized by toward foreign groups. Social scientists said that by their nature, those views could be classified as neo-Nazi. But they disagreed as to whether the re- surgence of neo-Nazi ideas was caused by economic decline and unemployment or reflected other factors. The pollsters who conducted the survey on behalf of the government said the results did not indicate a definite re- lationship between unemploy- ment and extreme rightwing opinions. MEANWHILE, another debate is underway on the anti- Semitic or anti-Israel bias among certain leftwing groups in the Federal Republic. It was triggered two months ago when a young German Jew, Henryk Broder, immigrated to Israel. He left a letter to his former leftwing and Sandy Roth, friends protesting their anti-Is- rael views, which was published in the weeky Die Zelt. In an interview published later in Der Spiegel, Broder attacked the Middle East policies of Chancellor Helmut Schmidt. Both weeklies were flooded with letters supporting or re- pudiating Broder's charges against West German society.

D.C. Conference on Voluntarism and Resettlement sponsored by the Council of Jew- ish Federations, in cooperation with the United Jewish Appeal of Greater Washington, the National Council of Jewish Women and the National Center for Citizen Involvement. The high attendance confirms the growing importance of voluntarism in Jewish agencies, according to Conference organizers. In addition, the positive feed- back from the participants has indicated the acceptance of new directions in the management of resettlement programs, said a Conference spokesman. "There was a general openness expressed to the idea of continuously ad- vancing the level of professional- ism in volunteer programs through regional and local train- ing programs. This can be ac- complished on a relatively small scale using local resources," he said. The two-day conference, which featured speakers and facilitators from Federations, Jewish family services, Jewish community centers and Jewish vocational programs, introduced basic con- cepts in volunteer management. Workshops dealt with such areas as the Soviet Jewish Volunteer. Community Relations and the Federation's Role in Volunteer Program Planning and Co- ordination. Keynote speaker Joel Carp, Director of Grants and Special Programs at the Jewish Federa- tion of Metropolitan Chicago, set the tone of the Conference by noting that: "... some professionals still have many reservations about using volunteers. While we have come a long, long way there are stiM those who do not understand that volunteers are interviewed and screened, hired, trained and supervised around specific jobs or tasks, evaluated and even fired if they do not work out. Further, an appropriate process of quali- tative training is important." Other speakers and facilitators ' included: Stephen McCurley of the National Center for Citizen Involvement; Roberta Stim, National Council of Jewish Women; Chaim Lauer, Social Planning Director of UJA Federation of Washington, D.C; Michelle Mindlin, Project Co- ordinator, Russian Block Grant, Federation of Jewish Philan- thropies of NY; Mira Volf, Director of Russian Advisory Committee. Jewish Community House, Bensonhurst, N.Y.; Mary Mackler, Director of Program for Emigre Scholars, Federation of Jewish Philanthropies of NY; Nancy Bloom, Director of Vol- unteer Services, Jewish Family & Children's Service, Boston; Dorothy Lackritz, Director of Adult and Community Services, JCC Cleveland; Dan Maccoby, Associate Director, CJF Wash- ington Action Office and Cindy Soloway, Resettlement Co- ordinator, Jewish Family Ser- vice, Memphis. Serving as General Co- ordinator of the Conference was Simcha Goldberg of the Council of Jewish Federations. Adina Mendelson of the United Jewish Appeal Federation of Greater Washington was Technical Co- ordinator. The Soviet Jewish Resettle- ment Program, as well as other organizations that contributed to the Conference, are available for consultations to agencies in- terested in fleveloping training efforts. The Council of Jewish Federa- tions is the association of 200 Federations.

We recently heard that two seventeen year olds were be- stowed with some outstanding honors and would like to tell you about them. Andrew Osiason. son of Lorna and Burt Osiaaon was elected to the "Gold and Black" at Plant High School. This is an honors club whose members are selected not only for aca- demies but also for their outstanding contributions to sports and for their club involvement. In addition, Andrew was elected President of Mu Alpha Theta, which is the math honor society and treasurer of National Honor Society. Our second youth who we want to boast about is Amy Cherry, daughter of Carol and Charles Cherry. She too was elected to the honors club "Gold and Black" at Plant High School. In addition, she was recently elected head cheerleader for the coming year. We are so proud of both of you and think your achievements are simply terrific! Lois Kerben and Barbara Muratori recently began a business called "Photo Security Service" and we would like to tell you a little about it. Both avid photographers, these women come to your home and-or office and will photograph a detailed inventory of all your possessions. They enable you to have a complete record of everything in your home, drawers, closets, garage, file cabinets, etc.. This is a marvelous idea to insure against lost (and inadequate recovery) from theft or fire. As Lois said, "It is so difficult to remember what you have during! traumatic time whether it is a priceless antique or jewelry that you* have lost or just how many pairs of shoes you have!" The girls decided to venture into this unique business after Lois' aunt experienced an apartment fire and then had such a difficult time dealing with the insurance company because of the diffi- culty in remembering what she had and where. The owners keep all slides, records, and a letter of certification after "Photo Security Service" takes the pictures. They stress the point that everything is completely confidential. Our best wishes to four hard working, enthusiastic, and dedicated members of our community who have recently been nominated to join the board of Tampa Jewish Social Service- Congratulations to Nancy Verkauf, Barbara Goldstein.

"The West can not realistically or safely rely on the Arab world to supply its needs," declares Dr. Mordechai Nisan, lecturer at the Hebrew University, whose less than rosy assessment of the Arab Middle East domain I have here cited. Says he: "Internal factors of instability, inter-Arab (or inter-Islamic) relations are also affected by unpredictable developments." HE INCLUDES among these the war in the Persian Gulf be- tween Iraq and Iran, the over- throw of the Pahlavi regime, the PLO supported attack against Saudi Arabia on the Great Mosque in Mecca in 1979. One can add dozens of other ex- amples. In the end, "the Arab castle built on this pillar of sand . can be washed away with the morning tide of political ex- remism." The ultimate conclusion is that the dominant feature in Arab society is the use of force to achieve its conflicting political purposes. For Arabs, violence re- mains a common method of government action. If this is the political nature of the Arab- Islamic world, how can it be considered a stable partner in the West? The answer is that it can't. And until there is additional in- formation available to us that we can interpret, those naked re- ports about a renewed Saudi- Soviet alliance are one more ex- ample of this. The Soviets thrive on bankrolling pariahs. The Saudis may not yet be that bad, but perhaps they are getting there. If, more and more, the martial tradition of Islam worries the West PLO terrorism on the streets of London, Iranian-Iraqi feuds in Paris, Libyan killer-goon squads in Rome the Soviets may yet make Araby a better bedmate than we can ever aspire to. 150,000 Stage Solidarity Show for Soviet Jews By KEVIN FREEMAN NEW YORK (JTA) About 150,000 people, according to police esti- mates, gathered at Dag Hamtaarskjold Plaza, across from the United Na- tions, for the tenth annual rally for Solidarity Sunday for Soviet Jewry. The marcher paraded for ten blocks down Fifth Avenue in Manhattan, led by a group wear- ing prison uniforms to represent Jewish Prisoners of Conscience in Soviet prisons and labor camps. They carried pictures of Soviet prisoners Anatoly Sharansky, Vladimir Kislik. Kim Fridman and those of many others jailed. RICHARD ALLEN, National Security Adviser at the White Mouse, was greeted with boisterous chants of "No arms to Saudi Arabia." Allen said that the United States' "deter- mination to oppose terrorism in no way contradicts our support for human rights." This state- ment was greeted with more chants. Allen stressed that the foreign policy of the U.S. is essentially linked to human rights. Dr. Sey- mour Lachman, chairman of the Greater New York Conference on Soviet Jewry, said Allen's ap- pearance was the highest Presi- dential representative sent to a gathering of this kind. Lachman also said that "this is the biggest demonstration for Soviet Jewry" in the history of the dem- onstrations. Actress Jane Fonda, in what was believed to be her first ap- pearance at a rally for Soviet Jews, said that Ida Nudel, now serving a prison term on trumped-up charges of hooligan- ism, had been convicted for "fighting for the right of Jews to emigrate." GOV. CAREY of New York said that "we will not avert our eyes or lower our voices or lessen our concern" for the rights of Soviet Jewry. "To do so would be not only to betray Soviet Jew- ry or Israel or our allies, it would be to betray ourselves." He also said "the Soviet Union is put on notice that its violations of human rights, abrogation of international law. its in- timidation of other nations and its disregard for the dignity of the individual, leave it outside the pale of civilized nations. Iosef Mendelevich, who was released recently from a Soviet prison and settled in Israel, received from Mayor Edward Koch the key to the city he was 'recently awarded. Mendelevich told the crowd "because of your prayers and hard work, I was finally able to leave the Soviet Union and to resume the practice of my Jewish faith without fear of persecution." Fonda, Carey and Mendelevich were enthusiastical- ly applauded at the rally. MAYOR KOCH announced that a street would be named for Sharansky "to serve as a re- minder of the persecution of men and women" who battled for freedom Near the close of the rally, some 20 members of the Jewish Defense League demonstrated on Fifth Avenue in front of the office of Aeroflot, the Soviet airline. A bottle was thrown at the window which was apparently shatter- proof. Nothing happended to the window, but the bottle broke.

He said Israel was a primary target for both. Greenberg told the ADL Na- tional Commission at its meeting here that terrorist violence in Europe in 1980 and the recent assassination attempt against Pope John Paul II gave new urgency to exposing and taking action against the international terrorist networks. THE ADL study described neo-Nazi and fascist terrorists and propagandists as a "black" network and used the term "red" network for such groups as the West German Baader Meinhoff Gang, the Italian Red Brigades, the Japanese, and other Soviet- oriented and sponsored groups, like the Palestine Liberation Or- ganization, which the study said, operates with Soviet arms and training. Greenberg said "the ideo- logical glue that binds the red' and 'black' terrorists is "the shared commitment" to destroy HabibBack On Shuttle By DAVID FRIEDMAN WASHINGTON (JTA) - Philip Habib, President Reagan's special envoy to the Middle East, left Washington to return to the area, the State Department announced. Meanwhile, the White House announced that President Anwar Sadat of Egypt has accepted an invitation from President Reagan to visit Washington Aug. 5 to 6 and that Premier Menachem Begin of Israel agreed to come Sep. 9 to 10, assuming he is still in office. White House spokes- man Larry Speakes said the in- vitation to Begin would apply to his successor if Begin's Likud Party is defeated in the June 30 Knesset elections. democracy and freedom of ex- pression. He told the meeting that the two terrorist networks have established links through financial support, weapons and joint terrorist training operations. According to the study, pre-^ pared by Jerome H. Bakst, ADL research department director, the terrorist networks are backed by powerful propaganda machines that attack western societies and disseminate anti-Zionist and anti- Semitic materials. THE STUDY reported that West German's principal neo- Nazi, Manfred Roeder, has American connections, which in- clude George Dietz of West Virginia, who Operates "one of the biggest anti-Jewish and neo- Nazi propaganda factories" in the United States; and the Washington-based Liberty Lobby.

Jerusalem Explains Full Text of Government's Position [JKHUSALEM Here is the |ll text of the Israel Govern- knt's statement explaining the pining of the Iraqi nuclear Bclor: ["On Sunday. 7th June 1981. Israel Air Force launched a |d on the atomic reactor Osi- near Baghdad. Our pilots tried out their mission fully. *e reactor was destroyed. All [r aircraft returned safely to r ["The government feels duty- lunrl to explain to enlightened Ihlii opinion why it took this ['ision. |"FOR A LONG time, we have Bn watching with growing ncem the construction of the [>mic reactor Osirak. From krcea whose reliability is yond any doubt, we learned t this reactor, despite its ca- >uflage. is designed to produce pmic bombs. The target for ch bombs would be Israel. This |s clearly announced by the |er of Iraq after the Iranians inflicted slight damage on reactor Saddam Hussein Weed that the Iranians had acked the target in vain, since ^as being constructed against ael alone. [The atomic bombs which that ctor was capable of producing, ether from enriched uranium |from plutonium. would be of Hiroshima size. Thus, a tal danger to the people of Bel progressively arose. [Vain, from most reliable pas, we learned of two dates |n the reactor would be com- 1 and put into operation. The beginning of July "21 The beginning of Septem- ber 1981. "In other words, within a short period of time, the Iraqi reactor would have been operational and 'hot.' "UNDER SUCH circumstan- ces, no government of Israel could contemplate bombing the reactor. Such an attack would have brought about a massive ra- dioactive lethal fallout over the city of Haghdad and tens of thou- sands of its innocent residents would have been hurt. "We would thus have been compelled to passively observe the process of the production of atomic bombs in Iraq whose lul- ling tyrant would not hesitate to launch them against Israel's cit- ies, the centers of its population. "Therefore, the government of Israel decided to act without fur- ther delay to ensure our people's existence. The planning was exact. The operation was timed for Sunday on the assumption that the foreign experts em- ployed at the reactor would be absent on the Christian day of rest. This assumption proved to have been correct. No foreign experts were hurt. "TWO EUROPEAN govern- ments, in return for oil, have assisted the Iraqi tyrant in the construction of atomic weapons. We again call upon them to desist from this horrifying, inhuman deed. We, under no circum- stances, will allow an enemy to develop against our people weapons of mass destruction. We shall defend the citizens of Israel, in time, with all the means at our disposal."

Although a meeting is still possible toward the end of the year, it would be in a wider framework, and other European and Arab leaders would be present. The reason is that such a meet- ing could embarrass the govern- ment at a time when it is under growing international pressure to accord political status to the pro- visional Irish Republican Army. The Prime Minister has emerged as the toughest opponent of con- cessions to the IRA. The argu- ments she has been using would make her vulnerable to ac- cusations of inconsistency if Carrington were seen consorting with Arafat while she prohibits concessions to IRA hunger strikers. WASHINGTON French Foreign Minister Claude Cheys- son ended his first visit with the Reagan Administration here by stressing that the government of President Francois Mitterrand can play a "useful" role in the Middle East because of its friendship with both Israel and the Arab States. "We are in a dialogue and we want to be constant dialogue with all," he told a press confer- ence at the French Embassy Saturday after concluding three days of talks with President Reagan, Secretary of State Alexander Haig and other mem- i................................. bers of the Administration. MONTREAL The Attorney General's special deputy in British Columbia is "in- vestigating" the first public cross burning by the Ku Klux Klan in that province since the 1930s. It took place on a remote beach near Mission, B.C., attended by about 50 Klan members who offered "a prayer of thanks to God" for making them white and "superior intellect." The Canadian Jewish Congress Pacific Region has regularly called attention of the authorities to KKK activities on Canada's west coast. The cross-burners were reportedly led by a 20-year- old woman who identified herself as Ann Farmer and claimed to be the Grand Chaplain of the Klan. She said she was the girl friend of a former BC Klan leader known as George who is now in prison facing charges for leading a gang of mercenaries in an attempted coup on the Island of Dominica in the West Indies. TEL AVIV The influential Haaretz newspaper said the defense establishment has decided, after months of consid- eration, to equip its latest gene- ration Lavie-fighter plane, now still in the planning stage, with American-made Pratt and Whit- ney FV-1120 engines. Earlier planning had called for the use of General Electric F-404 engines. i The Pratt and Whitney engine is more expensive but also larger and more powerful. The design of the La vie body may thus have to be altered now to allow for the larger engine, making the aircraft bigger but of a considerably higher performance. Both American companies were invited to bid for the plane's power plant, and both undertook to order work from Israeli factor- ies in return for obtaining the contract. BRUSSELS The Israeli em- bassy has flatly denied an allega- tion, by the local office of the Pal- estine Liberation Organization that the Israeli Secret Service was involved in the murder of the PLO'S representative in Brus- sels, Nairn Khader. Khader, 41, was shot five times by a tone gunman as he was walking from his home to this pffice. the embassy, retorting to the PLO charge, suggested that Khader was the target of a rival Palestinian organization. "We know that the different Palestin- ian movements kill each other," an Embassy statement said. It noted that two Jordanians of Palestinian origin were recently tried and convicted by a Paris Court for the murder of a PLO official, Ezzedine Kallak, in August, 1978. NEW YORK Sen. Daniel Moynihan (D., N.Y..) pledged here to filibuster in the U.S. Senate against the sale of AWACS to Saudi Arabia. Addressing the 60th annual meeting of the National Commis- sion of the Anti-Defamation League of B'ani B'rith here, Moynihan declared, "While I have voice, there will not be such a bill passed in the U.S. Senate in the south, they call it a filibus- ter. In the north it is referred to as extended debate." At the same time, he warned that the Syrian missile crisis stems from a deliberate Soviet attempt to test the resolve of the Reagan Administration. Referring to the controversy over the sale of AWACS to the Saudis, the senator told the ADL meeting that Saudi secunty needs can be satisfied through the use of American-owned and operated AWACS which are already based in the region. UNITED NATIONS Iosif Mendelevich, the freed Soviet Jewish activist who immigrated to Israel three months ago, said here that UN Secretary General Kurt Waldheim "could not find the time to see me." He daid that he requested a meeting with Waldheim more than 10 days ago. Speaking at a press conference here, which was sponsored by Yehuda Blum, Israel's Ambassa- dor to the UN, Mendelevich said that instead of a meeting with Waldheim, he met last week with Under Secretary General William Buffum and discussed with him the plight of Soviet Jews and the "cultural and religious per- secution" against them. Mendelevich expressed disap- pointment that Waldheim could not see him, claiming that he promised his fellow prisoners in Russia to discuss their riu. with the SecreUryGenSlPhght TEL AVIV -FivTb^L dents of the Golan Heighu been placed under adminUtrZ arrwt for five months oTa! miutary commander of the *L for inciting to violence jS threatening community memC who opted for Israeli citizen^ They include Sheikh RaJ KanJ Abu-Salah, "J member of the Syrian ParliamZ who was sentenced to 20 yearj^ prison some years am 1 charges of spying for Syria H was released after serving ah, one year. ^ The detention of the five KM welcomed by Druze who havt taken out Israeli citizenship and denounced by nationalistic elements in the community.
