A special pre-event reception will be held at 5:30 p.m., with Gerda Klein, to honor the B&P women who have made a minimum cam- paign gift of $1200. Following the pre-event reception, Mrs. Klein, a distinguished author, journalist, historian and lec- turer, will address the women. "Gerda Klein has visited this community before and is a highly moving and motivating speaker," said Angela Lam- pert, B&P Women's Campaign Chair. "We're very pleased to welcome her back for our cam- paign event." Ms. Klein's writings, lec- tures and personal acounts of her life have inspired women throughout the years to become more involved in Jew- ish communal life. Her first book, All But My Life, is an autobiography, hailed by crit- ics in the U.S. and abroad as one of the most beautiful and moving documents to come out of WWII. Since then she has written several more books, including her most recent one, A Passion For Sharing, a fascinating and compassionate biography of Edith Rosenwald Stern, a philanthropist who fought for civil rights and the growth of the arts and education.

Pentagon Permits Wearing Of Yarmulkes By HOWARD ROSENBERG WASHINGTON (JTA) - U.S. Defense Secretary Frank Carlucci rescinded a Pentagon directive that would have allowed military officers to bar the wearing of visible religious garb "under unique circum- stances, such as basic and ini- tial military skills and specialty training." The original directive was issued Feb. 3, to help imple- ment a bill signed into law a few weeks earlier that pro- tected, among other things, the right of Orthodox Jews in the military to wear "neat and conservative" yarmulkes, as long as they do not interfere in Continued on Page 8 Soviet Emigration Highest Since 1980 NEW YORK (JTA) - Jewish emigration from the Soviet Union continued to rise last month, reaching the high- est level since April 1980, when 2,469 Jews left the USSR. A total of 2,051 Soviet Jews were allowed to emigrate last month, 190 of whom, or 9.3 percent, went to Israel, the National Conference on Soviet Jewry reported Thursday. The September figure re- presents 18.5 percent rise over the August total and brings emigration for the year so far to 11,238 Soviet Jews, the National Conference said. That would make 1988 the highest Soviet Jewish emigra- tion year since 1980, when 21,471 Jews were permitted to leave. Emigration this year more than 12 times the total for 1986. Most Jews leaving the Soviet Union on Israeli visas are still passing through Vienna, where tiie va&i majority decide to emigrate to countries other than Israel. Only 76 Soviet Jews decided last month to fly directly to Israel by way of Bucharest, Romania. The Israeli Cabinet decided in June that Soviet Jews leav- ing on Israeli visas must come to Israel through Bucharest. But the direct flight policy has not yet been implemented. In addition to Soviet Jews, 320 non-Jews were allowed to emigrate last month on Israeli visas, at the Soviet Union's request. Shmuel Ben-Zvi, secretary- general of the Israel Public Council, also reported that of 2,300 refusenik families in the USSR, 500 have been waiting is already more than 10 years for exit permits, and 1,600 have been waiting between five and 10 years. Another 200 families have been waiting fewer than five years.

Teacher's Will Find Materials, Aid At New Center A teacher's work is never done, but if there is a place to go for materials and assis- tance, then the endless work is made easier. The long-awaited commun- ity Teacher's Center will open its doors on Tuesday, Novem- ber 1, 1988, at the Jewish Community Day School, 5801 Parker Avenue in West Palm Beach. Sponsored by the Education Department of the Jewish Federation of Palm Beach County, the Center will pro- vide a multi-faceted facility enabling teachers and com- munity leaders to prepare pos- ters, games and lesson plans for the classroom as well as instructional manuals. Ruth Levow, Director of the Center, will be available to assist visitors in selecting laminating materials and copying educational materials. Art and Crafts Specialist, Linda Chazin, will also staff the Center. During the week of Novem- ber 1st, the Center will have an Open House featuring demonstrations and teacher workshops on puppetry and arts and crafts. Kits contain- ing Chanukah materials for the classroom will be given to each visitor. The Center will be open on Mondays, Tuesdays and Wed- nesdays from 4-7 p.m. and Thursday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. The Center site will also serve as the focal point for a series of teacher in-service courses and for an outreach program which will bring materials and workshop lead- ers to the schools in our consti- tuency. The Media Center, with its large assortment of video-tapes, slides and film- strips, will continue to be housed in the Federation build- ing until larger facilities are available. Bankers hours have been extended for Young Adult Division Business & Execu- tives on Thursday, October 27.

Florida business. "This will be one of the many Business & Executive Forums sponsored by local busi- nesses," said Howard Levy, Event Chairperson. "It's a great benefit to both the spon- soring businesses and the Young Adult Division," Levy explained. "It allows us to increase our program, find interesting locations for our events, and the sponsor gains a lot of exposure through their community involvement with us." Guest speaker and BEF sponsor, Mr. Rosenthal first joined Flagler Federal in 1956 and became President in 1976. He serves on the U.S. League's Legislative Commit- tee for 1988 and is a U.S. League Insurance Group Board Member, Chairman of the Audit Committee, Director of the University of Miami Alumni Association School of Business, and Director of the University of Miami General Miami Alumni Board.

One way the Jewish Agency's commitment to this goal has been sounded is by Project Renewal. This year, Project Renewal was enlarged and has become the new Department of Pro- ject Renewal and Develop- ment. As of this June, the professional leadership of this new and expanded department falls to Yaacov Friedman. "Friedman is one of the new Baal T'kiot Shofar Blowers of the revitalized Jewish Agency, sounding the ever closer ties linking Israeli and Diaspora Jews," stated UIA's Chairman, Henry Taub, of Englewood, New Jersey. A sabra, Yaacov Friedman grew up in a workers' housing project near Haifa. His father was in charge of maintenance at a local school. Friedman earned a degree in Agronomy and a Master's degree in Econ- omics and began his career in the field of agricultural and economic planning. After the Yom Kippur War, 44 Friedman decided to commit himself to improving Israeli society. The opportunity pre- sented itself when Shimon Ravid, then Director-General of the Settlement Department, offered him a position as Director of Planning and Development for the Northern Region. Friedman has remained with the Jewish Agency in various executive positions until his current appointment to the Depart- ment of Project Renewal and Development. In accordance with the Board of Governors' decision at its February 1988 meetings, this new department incorpor- ates the activities of the fol- lowing bodies: the Project Renewal Department, the Israel Education Fund (con- struction division), the Unit for Special Projects for the Galil and the Negev, the Israeli branch of the Youth and Hechalutz Department of the World Zionist Organization, the Social Programs section of Amigur, and the training pro- grams for the development of community leadership. Friedman believes that his department requires rational restructuring, mainly due to its enlarged budget and Friday, October 21, 1988/The Jewish Floridian of Palm Beach County Page 3 Israel Aid to Territories By TAMAR LEVY GENEVA (JTA) Israel will continue to work for the economic development of the territories it administers, despite the violence of the Palestinian uprising, an Israeli official told an international panel here. Ayraham Milo, minister-counselor of Israel to the United Nations in Geneva, addressed the board meeting of the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development. "The basic services will continue to be provided by the civil administration," Milo said. increased responsibilities. Among the most important programs he would like to see evaluated and improved upon are educational and social pro- grams, Project Renewal, and the Israel Education Fund. By applying Project Renewal's successful model of urban renewal to other problems of social development, he would like to see the department become the vanguard of a revi- talized Jewish Agency. According to Friedman, the following goals are a top prior- ity for the department: to implement the Jewish Agency Assembly's resolution calling for focusing future social and educational activi- ties in the Galil and the Negev. to create an innovative infrastructure for twinning Diaspora communities to Israeli communities, thereby strengthening the Diaspora- Israel partnership. "Rosh Hashanah is an espe- cially good time to focus on helping Jews," stated Henry Taub, "What better time is there to announce the appoint- ment of a man who will work to help improve the lives of Israelis?" The Ties That Bind" B&P Men Leave For Israel The ties that bind Jews to Israel, that have kept the Jewish nation intact for thousands of years, are the same that have inspired today's secular Jews to work for the unity of the Jewish people at the sacrifice of their own time and money. Nothing deepens those ties more than a visit to the source, to the country that grabs a Jew's heart as he flies over the sandy deserts, vistas of green countryside and bodies of ancient waters on his way to landing in Eretz Yisrael. On Saturday, Oct. 22, the Vanguard Mission, ten Palm Beach County leaders from the Business & Professional Men's Division of the Jewish Federa- tion, will arrive in Israel for nine days of countryside tours, meetings with Israeli leaders, briefings on current issues and visits to Federation funded projects. Participants in the Mission are Robert Abrams, Barry Berg, co-chair, Dr. Robert Green, co-chair, Leonard Hanser, Joel Koeppel, Dr. Paul Liebman, Mike Platner, Henry Saiontz, Ron Schram, and Jen Zane. "The major purpose of this mission is to help groom the future leadership of the Jewish community in Palm Beach County," said Barry Berg, Co- Chair. "Participants were selected based on their previous level or commitment to the community of their demonstrated desire to become more active." This will be the second year the Business and Professional Men's Division is sending a Vanguard Mission to Israel. Dr. Robert Green, Mission co-chair, was primarily involved in the Anti- Defamation League before he was selected to participate in last year's mission. "I had just never been involved in Federa- tion," he explained. "But going to Israel really opened my eyes. It was a wonderful trip and it strengthened my commitment to the Jewish community." This year, Dr. Green, who has lived in Palm Beach County all his life and watched the Jewish commun- ity grow from infancy, is a member of the Board of the Federation and is leading this year's Vanguard Mission. The mission will take partici- pants to an air base in the Negev, to the Lebanese bor- der, on a tour of the Golan and a visit to Gush Etzion. The men will meet some of Israel's National Council VIP Dadie Perlov, executive dir- ector of the National Council of Jewish Women (NCJW), has been chosen by the Ladies' Home Journal as one of Amer- ica's 100 most important women. Perlov was selected for her administration of NCJW, a national women's volunteer organization of 100,000 members, which focuses on priorities of chil- dren and youth, women's issues, Israel, Jewish life, aging, and Constitutional rights. Perlov, who previously By LORISCHULMAN political and business leaders and visit various museums, memorial sites and projects funded by American dollars. Segments of the trip will be filmed and broadcast on local TV station Channel 5. In an unprecedented trip to the Middle East, WPTV is sending a film crew to accompany the Federation group and to film a five-part series on Israeli lifestyles, called "The Ties That Bind." The crew will also be inter- viewing mission participants and covering different sites they visit. The series will be aired during the WPTV eve- ning news, November 7-11. "We're looking for a very human view of the different Jewish, Arab and Christian lifestyles in Israel" said Kerry Deems, Field Producer of the Israel series. "We don't want to bring home any network photos. We plan to supplement the news by examining how the conflicts impact different families there and how they affect every aspect of family life," she said.

Jewish Federation. 832-2120 Page 4 The Jewish Floridian of Palm Beach County/Friday, October 21, 1988 Viewpoint Upgraded Status On the heels of the warming relations between Hungary and Israel, it is indeed welcome news that diplomatic channels with Poland and the Jewish State are widening, as well. When Israel Foreign Minister Shimon Peres paid his official visit to the United Nations, he met privately with his Polish counterpart, Tadeusz Olechowski. The results of that con- ference may be seen in the upgraded status of each country's mission in Warsaw and Tel Aviv. Instead of being sheltered under the umbrella of a Dutch aegis, the countries will take the mutually coordinated steps that reflect a matured relationship. It is a long way in miles and tortured history since Auschwitz, Birkenau and Majdanek. A more recent strain is linked directly to the Six Day War, when as did most of Eastern EuropePoland cuts its diplomatic ties to Israel in 1967. Now, as the world grows increasingly smaller and economic, political and cultural networks interlock more tightly, the import of this move multiplies. Abba Eban, only recently cut from the Labor slate, has been tapped as his nation's emissary to several of the Soviet bloc's coun- tries in an effort to advance the diplomatic thaw. That appointment is appropriate and the strategy is significant. First Monday In October, etc. The first Monday in October saw the open- ing session of the Supreme Court. What the court's calendar will see bodes well for the nation's conservatives. Since the appointment and approval of Justice Anthony Kennedy, there is a definitive swing to the right predicted on issues on this country's social agenda. When cases to be determined come before the court in the areas of civil rights quotas, Sabbath observances and church/state abridgement, Jews would be wise to measure the movement to the right. While Ronald Reagan is a lame-duck presi- dent, his influence will be felt long past Jan. 20 when a new administration will be inaugurat- ed. It would be wise, therefore, to look to this election year's candidates and realize that their potential reach goes beyond the grasp of the White House. This year's elected presi- dent will be the ghost hovering over future Supreme Court decisions. the Christianity's Historic Obligation By RABBI MARC H. TANENBAUM NEW YORK (JTA) For those who have doubts about the "practical" value of posi- tive Jewish-Christian rela- tions, it would be instructive to study the critical role played by philo-Semitism in the crea- tion of the State of Israel. In his comprehensive book, "History of Israel," Professor Howard Sachar observed that when Dr. Chaim Weizmann was desperately seeking to win the support of Great Britain as "the protectorate over a Jew- ish homeland," he found his greatest response among Brit- ish Protestant evangelicals. There was, Sachar writes, "a mystical veneration with which many devout Anglo- Saxon (or Welsh or Scottish) Protestants regarded the Old Testament traditions, the Chil- dren of Israel, and particularly the Holy Land itself." These believing Christians included such central personal- ities as Prime Minister Lloyd George; Foreign Secretary Lord Balfour (who wrote the final version of the famed Declaration); Jan Christian Smuts, a Cabinet member of South Africa; and Lord Pal- merston. Lloyd George wrote that in his first meeting with Weiz- mann in December 1914, his- toric sites in Palestine were mentioned that were "more familiar to me than those of the Western front." These men, states Sachar, "felt deeply Christianity's his- toric obligation to the Jews," and that among other rea- sons resulted in the Balfour Declaration and the mandate for a Jewish National Home in Palestine. In analogous ways, that Bible-based philo-Semitism exists widely among millions of American Christians who support Israel, with all her present difficulties. The Jew- ish-Christian dialogue is the surest force that nurtures these positive feelings toward Jews and Israel.

SEGAL The fabulous Hunt family, wealthiest in Texas, is back in the news again this time in the courts. Earlier news about them is remembered from the 1950s, when Haroldson Lafayette Hunt, the family patriarch who struck oil so deep that his daily income was estimated at vari- ous times to run from $200,000 to $1 million a day, was a point-man for Joe McCarthy. One device the senior Hunt employed was publishing and giving wide distribution to "Facts Forum." Despite its claim for accuracy, that hate sheet became a conduit for such notorious anti-Semites as Joe Kamp, Merwin Hart and Allen Zoll. (In those days, the U.S. attorney general listed Zoll's outfit, American Patri- ots Inc. as a fascist organiza- tion.) Of the three Hunt brothers Nelson. William and Lamar now in difficulty with the law, Nelson appears as the patriarch's scion most devoted to his daddy's political philoso- phy. The contribution he made to the John Birch Society was said to be the largest ever received by that outfit which depicted President Eisen- hower as "a dedicated, consci- ous agent of the Communist conspiracy." Nelson's buddies these days include the Rev. Pat Robert- son, an early candidate for president, and the Rev. Jerry Falwell, who once called for the Christianization of Amer- ica, then bit his tongue and told the 1,200 rabbis compris- ing his audience he was sorry he said it. Twenty-five years ago, Nel- son was in on the discovery of a huge oil field in Libya, but that bonanza subsequently fell into the hands of Moammar Gadhafi via confiscation. When the value of oil dipped, Nelson and William Hunt redirected their talent for amassing wealth. They envi- sioned great opportunities in acquiring silver. The history of their romance with that pre- cious metal provides the back- drop for their tribulations in court. As they traveled the silver brick road, they fashioned a plan to market bonds backed by $3.5 billion in silver bullion. This scheme intrigued Sheik Mohammad al-Amoudi and Prince Faisal, who joined hands with the Texas moguls. This stratagem soured when Wall Street frowned on it and the silver market began to sag. Among the big losers in the silver debacle was Minpeco, a Peruvian minerals marketing company. That business enter- prise was awarded damages of $134 million in late August when a federal jury in New York concluded that Nelson, Lamar and Herbert Hunt had conspired to corner the silver market eight years ago. Still able to engage top law- yers, the Hunts have indicated they plan to appeal that costly verdict. As stage hands change scenes on this drama, it seems only fair to single out one offspring among the 13 chil- dren fathered by H.L. Hunt, who gambled his way into a story-book fortune. The reference here is to Car- oline Hunt Schoellkopf, whose business enterprises - entrusted to the hands of capa- ble, honest managers help to I account for her designation as I the world's wealthiest woman. She is generous with pro I 6ono activities, has served as a I board member of Planned Par I enthood and as a director of I the Kennedy Center in Wash-1 ington. While engaged in JheS,fI activities, she has kept nerseii| at a distance from the oil ana| silver adventures of ner| brothers. Friday, October 21, 1988/The Jewish Floridian of Palm Beach County Page 5 NEWS BRIEFS Ethiopian Jews Move To Unify Families JERUSALEM (JTA) In a measure of unity, 15 leaders of the Ethiopian community met with the former Israeli ambassador to Ethiopia, representatives from the World Union of Jewish Students and other top Jewish activists to generate a petition for reunification of separated Ethiopian families. A committee for the cause plans to motivate Israeli and Diaspora Jewry into becoming more vocal in the family reunification campaign. About 1,500 children are separated from their parents; many husbands left behind wives; and brothers and sisters have been split. Most of the 10,000 Ethiopian Jews still in Ethiopia are women, children and the elderly and infirm. "We implore the government of Ethiopia to heed the biblical supplication: Let my people go." Those interested in distributing the petition and gather- ing signatures can contact: Committee for Family Reunifi- cation, P.O.B. 7914, Jerusalem. Hotline Promotes Israeli Tourism NEW YORK (JTA) A toll-free Israel travel hot line, providing timely information on tourism resources and special events in Israel, has been installed by the National Committee for Tourism to Israel as part of its nationwide campaign to increase American Jewish travel to Israel.

Rabbis Asked To Speak On AIDS WASHINGTON (JTA) October is National AIDS Awareness and Prevention Month, and the U.S. Depart- ment of Health and Human Services has been asking clergy to include in their religious services this month a message about the deadly condition and how to control its spread. In a letter being sent to rabbinical organizations and other clerical groups, department officials and Surgeon General Dr. C. Everett Koop include some suggestions for the messages. They range from detailed discussion of the myths surrounding AIDS and the estimated million and a half Americans who have already been infected by its virus, to a simple recommendation that congregants call the Public Health Service's National AIDS Hotline (1-800-342-AIDS) for further information. Rabbis who would like to take part in the campaign and wish to receive a five-page fact sheet about AIDS are asked to call the Public Health Service's Office of Communica- tions at (202) 245-6867.

O 19M Crauxi Syndic** Inc Arabs Try To Strip Israel's Credentials By YITZHAK RABI UNITED NATIONS (JTA) The Arab group at the United Nations will try for the seventh straight year to oust Israel from the world organi- zation, the Jewish Telegraphic Agency learned recently. According to diplomatic sources, the group decided several days ago to introduce a resolution to reject Israel's credentials when the U.S. Gen- eral Assembly is asked to approve the credentials of all member states. This is an annual formality, expected to take place this year around Oct. 15. The Arabs have repeatedly failed to deny Israel its place in the General Assembly, but the margin of support for their moves has steadily decreased year by year. Their declining support raised speculation that they might abandon their attempt to reject Israel this year. But according to sources, the extremist Arab countries notably Libya, Syria and Iraq prevailed, despite the embarrassment of defeat which seems virtually certain. ^iL , # GLATT KOSHER PESACH 89 April 19th 28th in LAS VEGAS You'll stay at the Spectacular... * ^o^ An exclusive NON-GAMING Resort just two blocks from the Fabulous Las Vagaa Strip.

Many of the acute problems of advanced age such as immune deficiency, osteoporo- sis, dementia, depression and hormonal disturbances will be explored at the Second International Serling Sympo- sium on the Biology of Aging this week at the Weizmann Institute of Science in Reho- vot. "The Symposium will serve a dual purpose," explains Weizmann Institute Professor Emeritus David Dannon, for- mer president of the Interna- tional Association of Geronto- logy. "It will provide scientists engaged in basic research with valuable feedback from doc- tors who work with old people and conversely, it will allow the physicians to question sci- entists engaged in frontline research. Experimental research in the biology of aging has mushroomed in Israel and around the world significant new treatments are expected to move from labs to clinics in the near future." Over 100 highly specialized experts from Israel and around the world are partici- pating in the gathering. Prof. Amiela Globerson, incumbent of the Brady Chair of Cancer Research and head of the Meller Center for the Biology of Aging at the Weiz- mann Institute, organized the symposium which is named for David Serling a longtime supporter of the center. Jewish Leaders Parlay With G A Head Discuss Anti-Israel and Anti-Jewish Positions AIPACExec. Denounces AdDistortion An advertisment placed by the New York State Republican Party in several Jewish weekly newspapers comparing the GOP and Demo- cratic party platforms on the Middle East "misleads" voters and distorts the position of the pro-Israel lobby, charged Tho- mas Dine, executive director of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC). Dine, who in a letter called on the weeklies to reject such ads in the future, also asserted that the piece did Vice Presi- dent George Bush's campaign "a disservice" by twisting "deserved praise" for the Republican platform. He noted that the ad "quotes me in a way that distorts the intended meaning of my state- ment" praising the Republican platform's Middle East sec- tion. The ad compares the Repub- lican and Democratic plat- forms on eight points regard- ing U.S. Middle East policy and Soviet Jewry. It ends with a quote from Dine that the Republican platform is "the best ever by either party." In his letter Dine stressed that he was not "recommend- ing the Republican presiden- tial candidate as stronger on Israel than the Democratic candidate. The truth is that I have not made any such state- ment of preference and do not intend to do so, because both candidates have taken very strong positions in support of the U.S.-Israel relationship and Israel's role as the corner- stone to U.S. policy in the Middle East." He noted that the GOP plat- form "is indeed excellent on the Middle East, but added that "a comparison of the two candidates solely on the basis of platforms is highly mislead- ing." For a full evaluation of the candidates, voters must look beyond party platforms and ads to the candidates' actions in office, speeches, Eosition papers and advisors, ine said. He added that both Bush and Dukakis have strong positions in favor of U.S.- Israel relations, with Dukakis' record being "the opposite" of that implied in the New York ads.

By YITZHAK RABI UNITED NATIONS (JTA) A delegation of Jewish lead- ers met here with the presi- dent of the General Assembly, Argentine Foreign Minister Dante Caputo. The delegation of B'nai B'rith leaders was headed by the organization's president, Seymour Reich. Morris Abram, chairman of the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations, and Malcolm Hoenlein, the conference's executive director, also partici- pated in the 45-minute meet- ing. The Jewish leaders dis- cussed with Caputo several anti-Israel and anti-Jewish positions at the United Nations. They protested the 1975 General Assembly resolution equating Zionism with racism, the yearly attempts by the Arabs to oust Israel from the world organization, and the sharp anti-Israel language last August in Geneva during the deliberation of the U.N.

The ministry said at an even- ing news conference that it was acting on the recommen- dations of three international polio experts, who proposed that both the Salk and Sabin vaccines be administered for maximum protection. It said sufficient vaccine is available. The experts were invited here by the Health Ministry to assess the anti-polio measures taken since an outbreak was detected in several regions of the country last month. They are Professor Joseph Melnick of Houston. Professor Walter Orlstein of the Center for Disease Control in Atlanta, and Professor M. Rey of the World Health Organization, a U.N. agency. The Salk vaccine, containing dead virus, is administered by injection. The Sabin, which consists of live weakened virus, is taken orally. The experts believe that a combination of both will induce natural immunity and that it should be provided on a national basis. In that respect, they differed with the Health Ministry, which had confined its vaccina- tion campaign to the Hadera and Lod-Ramla regions where the polio virus was discovered in sewage. The ministry announced that the campaign had been extended to the Rehovot and Acre areas, where contamin- ated sewage was also found. Melnick has been observing polio in Israel for more than 30 years. He brought the first batch of Salk vaccine here in a suitcase in the late 1950s. The recent polio outbreak never reached epidemic pro- portions, with no more than eight confirmed cases. Technion Key To Israel's Satellite Launch Glasses were raised and con- gratulations extended all 'round at Technion-Israel Institute of Technology in Haifa at news of the successful launching of Israel's first sat- ellite, Offeq-1 (Horizon-1), on Monday, Sept. 19. Nearly all of the leaders of the satellite project, conducted at Israel Aircraft Industries (IAI), are Technion graduates. Also working directly on the project with IAI and the Israel Space Agency (ISA) is a con- tingent of engineers at the Technion's Asher Space Research Institute and the Faculty of Aeronautical Engi- neering. The launch was designed to demonstrate the capacity to orbit a satellite and to check the functional ability of its subsystems in a space environ- ment. Technion-trained per- sonnel, who make up approxi- mately 70 percent of IAI engi- neers, were involved with such aspects as structure design, rocket propulsion, controls, communications, remote sens- ing and environmental testing. According to Professor Daniel Weihs, Dean of Tech- nion's Faculty of Aeronautical Engineering, the next Israeli satellite will carry a major scientific experiment. He said that a national competition is underway to decide whether the experiment will be in astronomy, earth sensing, biology or lasers. Several pro- jects devised at the Asher Space Research Institute are in the running. "Now that the capacity to launch a satellite has been proven," Prof. Weihs said, "it is hoped that the Amos Com- munications Satellite, the next satellite scheduled for launch- ing, will be sent into space before 1992." The research goals of the ISA and IAI are to place Israel among the community of nations in space satellite % illbDont SfForget!

Offeq-1 is octogonal in shape, measures about seven- and-half feet in length and weighs about 340 lbs. On March 7 and 8 of this year, a conference of aero- space scientists and policy- makers from Europe, the United States and Israel met at Technion to discuss Israel's civil space program and the niche it could fill in commercial space exploitation. The confer- ence, which drew more than 150 people, was sponsored by the Norman and Helen Asher Space Research Institute and the Samuel Neaman Institute for Advanced Studies in Sci- ence and Technology at Tech- nion. Prof. Yuval Neeman, Chair- man of the ISA, lauded the Technion at the conference for continuing its space research because "the end products will be very important for Israel." "It will be just one more gift from the Technion to the nation," he said.. SHOWING HIS SUPPORT.

Page 8 The Jewish Floridian of Palm Beach County/Friday, October 21, 1988 Reagan Lays Cornerstone OfU.S. Holocaust Museum By DAVID FRIEDMAN WASHINGTON (JTA) - President Reagan dedicated the cornerstone of the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum recently with a denunciation of anti-Semitism and a vow that "the Jewish people will never stand alone against tyranny." "The Jewish people were on this earth at the time of the pyramids," Reagan told the several hundred persons attending the dedication cere- mony, held under a tent on the site of the future museum, near the Washington Monu- ment. "Those structures are still standing and the Jews are still here. We must make sure that when the tall towers of our biggest cities have crumbled," the president said, "the Jewish people will still be on this earth." Former President Jimmy Carter, in a message to the ceremony, said the museum is a promise that "never again will the world stand silent, never again will the world look the other way or fail to act in time to prevent this terrible crime of genocide." He reminded the audience that he had created the Presi- dent's Commission on the Hol- ocaust in 1979, which even- tually led to the decision to create the museum. He said he was "looking for- ward" to joining Reagan and his successor at the ceremony when the museum opens in late 1990. The museum is on land donated by the federal government, but the $170 mil- lion needed for construction and exhibits is being raised privately. Harvey Meyerhoff of Balti- more, chairman of the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Council, said funds are coming in, rang- ing from the pennies of school children to large donations of $1 million or more from 19 individuals, families and foun- dations. Pentagon Permits Yarmulkes Continued from Page 1 the performance of military duties. Rep. Stephen Solarz (D- N.Y.) and Sen. Frank Lauten- berg (D-N.J.), who sponsored the bills in Congress last year, argued in a May 6 letter to Carlucci that the directive "would undermine, if not elim- inate, the effect of the religi- ous apparel amendment." "Preventing an Orthodox Jew from wearing a yarmulke during initial military training would represent severe blows to his religious observance as well as to his morale," they told Carlucci. Stephen Silbiger, Washing- ton representative of the American Jewish Congress, called Carlucci's Sept. 29 move "a victory for religious free- dom." For the'Duke' . in this Corner By ELLEN ANN STEIN Jewish Floridian Staff Writer Although perhaps more loosely knit, there is a growing organized corps of staunch Jewish supporters for Democratic presidential candidate Gov. Michael Dukakis. Monte Friedkin, president of Friedkin Industries in Boca Raton, says there are prominent national, state and South Florida Jewish leaders working long volunteer hours to make for a Dukakis victory. "I'm a Democrat. I feel Dukakis will be a better friend to the Jewish community vis-a-vis Israel," Friedkin said. Last Wednesday, Friedkin and a small group of local partisan Jews flew to New England for a private meeting with Dukakis. "I will say that the major discussion was anti-Semitic problems around the country," Friedkin said. "He (Dukakis) made certain commitments that I won't repeat about how he would deal with the Middle East." While many Republicans are concerned about the role Jesse Jackson has played in Democratic circles with his pro-PLO posture, Friedkin dismisses Jackson as a concern to only a minority of Jews, but not to those Friedkin considers better informed. Friedkin supports Dukakis' opposition to prayer-in-school and supports Dukakis opposition of arms sales to nations such as Saudi Arabia and Kuwait. Friedkin declined to say how much the organization has contributed statewide but said that several individuals have given over $100,000 to the Dukakis campaign. Other South Florida Democrats are actively supporting Dukakis on a variety of talking points. Marvin Rosen, 48, an attorney with Greenberg, Traurig, Hoffman, Lipoff, Rosen and Quentel, is chairman of the Dukakis Finance Board of Directors. Rosen, a volunteer who has met and traveled with the Dukakis campaign said: "As people learn what the Reagan administra- tion has done, (Bush's) riding on Reagan's tails will not be advantageous. "I think the Reagan administration has a lot of vulnerability, has created an unprecedented deficit, they've dealt with (Pana- manian leader Manuel) Noriega, they've sold arms for hostages and, as the American public understands what the Reagan administration has done, there will not be a coat-tail effect." Judy Kutun, wife of former state Rep. Barry Kutun, a volunteer on the Dukakis campaign, says she is a life-long Democrat, but, "votes for the man first and the party second." But she said, "I do want a change. That's why I want Michael Dukakis in." She and her husband have sponsored condominium breakfasts and Barry Kutun is a member of the Dukakis National Campaign fund. "I feel much more confident in his (Dukakis') leadership and that he's going to do more for Israel. I think he's 100 percent in support of Israel. I think he's the most moral, most intelligent and most caring candidate that's running for president." Elaine Silverstein, a principal in the Beber Silverstein adver- tising and a Dukakis volunteer, agrees with Kutun. "Far more important than a particular position on an issue, I think is the integrity and the intelligence of the man who is going to be president of the U.S.," Silverstein said. "The president does not run the government singlehandedly." Silverstein questions the choice of Indiana junior Sen. Dan Quayle as Bush's running mate adding, "I think that more than the threat of having Dan Quayle as president of the U.S. is the question of George Bush's judgment in selecting Dan Quayle. Either he wants to be surrounded by mediocrity or he sold out to the radical right." Jews are split, on many issues and voting from the wallet is certainly one, says Silverstein. "What we're experiencing is a real contradiction," she observed. "On one hand is the enormous deficit; on the other hand things have been pretty good. I think like (Democratic vice-presidential candidate Lloyd) Bentsem'The Republicans have been writing 'hot checks.' " And while some people do vote their wallets, other people are concerned with women's affairs and the homeless and the elderly, Silverstein said. Asked if she too would vote a straight Democratic ticket, Silverstein again added that she "votes for the individual" then added, "Of course, I haven't found a good Republican yet." FIBER CEREALS.

The 30 local members which formed this may have already doled out an estimated $200,000 to its Republican favorites. "We're a part of Victory 88, a group designed to secure support in the Jewish com- munity designed to maxi- mize voter turnout leading to a victory for the Republican ticket," said Mitch Dabach, 33, executive director of the Flor- ida Jewish Campaign Commit- tee of Victory 88. The group's state chairman is Miamian Jay Kislak. Issues likely to be stressed include: U.S.-Israel relations, free emigration for Soviet Jewry, combatting anti- Semitism and bigotry and .. saving lives of Ethiopian Jews. Dabach, says he hopes Jew- ish voters who were tradition- .of Voters and vis-a-vis Israel." Gayle Kesselman is a Palm Beach psychiatrist who is spending uncounted hours volunteering for the Bush cam- paign as a member of the Bush Jewish committee. Kesselman says the main issue she is concerned about is world peace. "My view of Dukakis is he has little experi- ence in foreign affairs and from what I've heard his polic- ies are not really policies they are slogans. He has an overly idealistic view of the world and we found from his- tory when you have people ally Democratic, will convert. While some members of the Democratic team said they may deviate and support bi- f(artisan campaigns, Dabach at east denies that is part of his organization's plans. "My group is supporting Bush and the entire Republi- can team," he said. "I think the Republican party in its domestic and international pol- icies are more in line with Jewish interests in our country who have these views or are too idealistic, there's often been a war." Developer and architect Tibor Hollo, also on the Bush Jewish committee as a volun- teer says he is still disench- anted with the former Carter administration and the U.S. image around the world during that administration. Asked if he didn't credit Carter for Camp David, Hollo said, "I don't think Camp David was particularly because of Carter's leadership. "I feel the same people, same administration and organization, same-type of pol- itical structure is in place with Dukakis," Hollo said. "I think there were a lot of deals made in the primaries that I'm not particularly fond of," declining to elaborate. On economic issues, Hollo said, "I think I'm voting the country's wallet. I was faced with a 21 and a half (percent) prime interest rate thanks to the Carter Administration. The current administration brought it to a manageable area of between seven and 10 percent." Hollo, a native of Hungary, who emigrated to the U.S. from France, also said he has seen the best employment record of all-time in recent years. Stanley Tate, a Dade resi- dent and statewide developer is state co-chairman of the Jewish coalition for Bush. "Bush is a very, very strong supporter of Israel and the Republican party has histori- cally been a strong supporter of Israel." Tate, too, expressed con- cerns about a Jesse Jackson posture in a Democratic White House. "I think he represents a great threat to Israel," Tate said of Jackson, "and I believe he will have a major influence on Dukakis if Dukakis is elected president." Tate gave kudos to the Bush/Reagan team on econo- mic and international matters. Yes, Tate concedes, he is wor- ried about the deficit that has accrued under the Reagan administration. Yet, he says, he was more concerned about the inflation of the Carter years. But, Tate insists, Bush pre- sents the "best all-around package for Jewish voters." "They (Democrats) are more concerned that Bush will be more Conservative and would bring about a more Conserva- tive administration in terms of the Supreme Court and other judicial appointments. The only other two main differ- ences have to do with the abortion issue. I'm for the abortion issue and I'm for gun control." One final issue: "There's some major concern how to finance the cost of the huge social welfare programs that Dukakis is supporting. And a major concern is under the Dukakis regime is you'd have a substantial increase in income taxes and a decrease in pro- ductivity." YouthToBeTriedAsAdult Charged With Shul Vandalism NEW YORK (JTA) A 15-year-old youth, one of two accused of vandalizing and burning a Brooklyn synagogue last month, will be tried as an adult it was announced here last week. This means that the suspect, Louis Franceschi, who has been indicted by a grand jury, will stand trial in state Supreme Court, instead of Family Court, where juveniles are normally tried. He also will face more severe punishment if convicted. Franceschi was arraigned in Supreme Court. He is charged with second-degree burglary, second-degree criminal mis- chief and first-degree reckless endangerment, all felonies, and with two misdemeanors. Franceschi pleaded not guilty and was ordered held on $10,000 bail by Justice Richard Goldberg. The indictment charges that on the night of Sept. 16, dur- ing the period between Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur, Franceschi and a companion broke into Congregation Rab- binical Institute Sharai Torah, an Orthodox synagogue in the Midwood section of Brooklyn. They spray-painted swasti- kas and anti-Semitic graffiti, removed the congregation's Torahs from the ark and set them on fire. Franceschi's 11-year-old companion was not identified because of his age. His case will be heard in Family Court. If found guilty of the bur- glary charge, Franceschi could be sentenced to between 28 months and seven years in prison. Brooklyn District Attorney Elizabeth Holtzman, who announced the indictment, X3CCM warned that "crimes of hatred or bigotry of any kind must be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law."

ZACKS WASHINGTON (JTA) - Twenty years ago, George Bush served in Congress, rep- resenting a mostly white con- gressional district in Texas. That year, the landmark Civil Rights Act of 1968 came before the House of Represen- tatives. Despite heavy pressure and even hostile threats from his constituents, George Bush voted for passage of that legis- lation, which guaranteed open housing requirements across the nation. Explaining his vote, George Bush emphasized how tragic it would be for a black service- man returning from Vietnam, where he had been fighting for the ideals of this country, to be denied the right to buy or rent the home of his choice. A colleague of Bush's described this as "typical George Bush." He showed the true mark of a leader he made the right decision even though it was unpopular at the time. George Bush's commitment to human rights and equality of opportunity didn't begin with his race for the presi- dency. It is fundamental to his values, dating back to his early days when he chaired the United Negro College Fund drive at Yale University. George Bush has stood for human decency and freedom all his life. Many of you noticed that Coretta Scott King, the widow of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., was a guest of the Bush family at the Republican National Convention in New Orleans. Though Mrs. King will not be campaigning for either can- didate this year, she has a longstanding and close rela- tionship with George and Bar- bara Bush. But the right to live where we want in this country doesn't have any meaning for Jews who want to leave the Soviet Union. George Bush was an integral part of the administration that made a discussion of human rights the number one item on the agenda of every U.S.- Soviet summit. Bush, who has met person- ally with each of the last three Soviet leaders, raised the issue of Soviet Jews directly with Soviet leader Mikhail Gorba- chev during the Washington summit. E. Germany Joins Kristallnacht BONN (JTA) East and West Germany will each offi- cially mark the 50th anniver- sary of Kristallnacht next month. A representative of the Communist East German gov- ernment will march in a silent parade in West Berlin on the occasion, Heinz Galinski, chairman of the West German Jewish community, announced here. He said that West German officials will attend an East German commemoration. On Dec. 6, 1987, the eve of that meeting, 250,000 Jews marched in Washington demanding freedom for our Jewish brethren. George Bush found the time to participate in this most his- toric of occasions. Michael Dukakis felt his time was bet- ter spent on the campaign trail. Bush delivered a forceful message to the Soviets and to Gorbachev, who was already in Washington at the time: "Now Mr. Gorbachev has embarked on a policy of gla- snost, or openness. But open- ness begins at the borders. Let's see not five or six or 10 or 20 refuseniks released at a time, but thousands, tens of thousands all those who want to go." This year, former refusenik Natan Sharansky paid tribute to George Bush's efforts to win freedom for Soviet Jews: "You met Avital to the White House and never stopped your attempts to secure my release. We are grateful for all you did for us, and your contribution to freedom of Soviet and Ethi- opian Jews." George Bush understands that freedom and human rights go hand-in-hand. He understands that Amer- ica cannot be serious about its commitment to human rights if America is weak or unwilling to stand upa gainst totalitarian tyranny. Today, 2000 Soviet Jews are leaving the USSR each month. How will Mike Dukakis, a nov- ice with no foreign policy or defense experience, stand up to the Soviets? And if he attempts to do so, will the Soviets take his pro- nouncements seriously if his administration proceeds to weaken our nation's defenses? America cannot affort sev- eral years of on-the-job train- ing for a Dukakis administra- tion. The Soviet leadership understands that George Bush will demand that the Soviets live up to the promises of Helsinki. A Bush administration will support the Jackson-Vanik amendement, which ties U.S.- Soviet trade to free emigra- tion, as a means of assuring These companion columns are a special feature reprinted with permission from The Washington Jewish Week. that the Soviets comply with previous agreements. George Bush will not fall into the trap of letting human rights rhetoric be employed as an excuse for Israel-bashing. When Vice President Bush was asked in a questionnaire in the Des Moines Register about so-called Israeli human rights abuses, he responded: "I recognize Israel's respon- sibililty to restore law and order. I am saddened by the violence of these demonstra- tions and the loss of life. "We have urged Israel to use non-lethal methods to deal with the demonstrations, and I am pleased Israel has decided to use non-lethal methods of riot control whenever possible. "The Palestinians, on the other hand, have the responsi- bility not to engage in violence and disorderly conduct." It is easy to walk away from your friends when they are in danger or need your support. It is most difficult, as George Bush has shown, to stand fast for principles whether it be civil rights for blacks in this country, or human rights for Jews in the Soviet Union when to say nothing would be the politically-expedient course. Dukakis: On Human Dignity Gordon Zacks is chairman of the Jewish Campaign Committee for Bush and a co-chairman of the National Jewish Coalition. Jewish-German Forum The Jewish community of Frankfurt, W. Germany, has established a "literature forum" with the aim of main- taining contacts with leading German-language authors. The forum's first program fea- tured readings by Siegfried Lenz of excerpts from a new novel expected to appear in about two years. Literary critic Marcel Reich-Ranicki told the press that the forum also hopes to hear from the "facilitators" of literature, such as publishers, editors, stage directors and producers. The political opinions expressed here are not necessarily those held by the Jewish Federation of Palm Beach County.

Dixie Highway Lake Worth, FL 33460 By HYMAN BOOKBINDER WASHINGTON (JTA) - One year ago, speaking to the City Club of Chicago, Michael Dukakis summed up his deep convictions on human rights in a few simple words: "Understand that nothing justifies the theft of human dinity. Nothing. Not left-wing or right-wing politics. Not per- sonal or economic or religious differences." One month ago, speaking to B'nai B'rith, he translated those convictions into a defini- tion of our nation's responsibil- ity: "America's place is not with the dictators. It is with govern- ments that trust and respect their own people. It is with democratic nations that are proud and strong and free. It is with nations like Israel." And only two weeks ago, he let the Soviet Union know exactly what they could expect from a President Dukakis: "I will challenge the Soviet Union to live up to its obliga- tions under the Helsinki Accords to let Jews and other minorities emigrate if they wish, and let them wor- ship freely and pass on their heritage to their children if they stay. "It is not enough to dole out a few visas, for human rights are not bargaining chips; they are the very foundation of peace itself." To be absolutely sure the Soviets understood what these words mean in practice, Gov. Dukakis has declared that "a Dukakis administration will stand by Jackson-Vanik to make sure those doors open wide once and for all." The Dukakis human rights policy represents a continua- tion of decades of Democratic commitment. It was Eleanor Roosevelt, in the Truman administration, who gave inspired leadership to the adoption of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. The historic Jackson-Vanik legislation was a Democratic achievement, and over the objections of the Nixon admin- istration. The 1988 Demo- cratic platform calls upon America to "mandate human rights, human dignity, and human opportunity in every country on earth." Michael Dukakis's commit- ment to international human rights everywhere in South Africa, in Eastern Europe, in Central America goes beyond party platforms or campaign speeches. Space permits only a few illustrations of how his strong personal involvement has manifested itself especially in areas of Jewish interest: Recognizing that the Holo- caust was the most heinous crime against humanity in his- tory, Dukakis, along with his wife, Kitty, has identified with Holocaust education, remembrance activities, and the building of a national museum. He was particularly out- raged over the presence in the Bush campaign of individuals who even today deny the Holo- caust took place, or who had been involved in anti-Semitic activities. He has urged the Congress to delay no longer in passing implementing legislation to complete action on Senate rati- fication of the Genocide treaty. The 37-year delay in ratifica- tion had been due to resistance primarily by Republican senat- ors, some of whom even to this day are blocking the imple- menting legislation. He has pledged full sup- port to the Office of Special Investigations in its efforts to apprehend Nazi war criminals, and to keep Kurt Waldheim on the watch list. Believing that the struggle for human rights and against anti-Semitism must start at home, Dukakis urged and signed into Massachusetts law a religious vandalism statue aimed at harassment and van- dalism motivated by religious, ethnic or racial intolerance. Michael Dukakis knows too that the words "human rights" can be perverted and abused. The outstanding example is the vicious UN Zionism-equals- racism resolution, and he has never stopped demanding its repeal, as have 48 other gover- nors. (Only Gov. John Sununu Bush s campaign co- chairman has refused to do so.) And Dukakis has protested last month's inexcusable action by the Reagan-Bush administration in putting Israel on trial for alleged viola- tion of workers' rights! The depth of the Dukakis commitment to human rights is best exemplified in his fre- quent personal actions in seek- ing and obtaining freedom for Soviet Jewish refuseniks. That personal, emotional involvement, for example, was impressively demonstrated at the recent B'nai B'rith conven- tion, when Dukakis introduced the Fuchs-Rabinovich family. "We will never forget the long struggle of Michael, Marina and Mishka," Dukakis told the hushed audience. "We will never forget the joy in our hearts at Mishka's long over-due bar mitzvah, where Kitty was called to the bimah for an aliyah." Michael Dukakis knows in his heart what human rights is all about. Footnote to last week's praise to Bush for his role in Operation Sheba: It just so happens that a week earlier, I myself had raised the issue in a debate, and expressed appreci- ation for this act of humanity. But, with all respect, Gordy, may I ask for some reciprocal graciousness? Don't you agree that if Walter Mondale or Michael Dukakis had been president at the time, his vice President would have been no ;ss responsive to this cry for help? A lovely recollection, but an argument for preferring Bush over Dukakis? Hardly. Hyman Bookbinder, former Washing ton representative of the American Jewish Committee, is presently serving as a special adviser to the Dukakis ''impaign on the Middle East, human rights and the underprivileged.

These are the Jewish summer holiday camps of Eastern Europe which have just completed their busiest years ever. Supported by the American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee, which is funded primarily by the United Jewish Appeal/Federation Campaign in the U.S., these summer camps provide relaxing, ten- day stints away from the heat and bustle of the city. Jews are brought together to enjoy kosher food and optional religi- ous instruction. Jewish chil- dren from small towns have a chance to socialize with other Jews. "We've had tremendous success," said Rabbi Landesman of Budapest, "because we offer something these kids often don't get at home; the chance to practice Judaism as fully as they wish. Every morning if the boys want to they put on tefillin, and afterward, students from the rabbinical school will sit around with them and discuss the Torah and Jewish history." Congratulations to Sam Wadler on his 80th birthday, October 2, 1908. Wadler is a Federation board member and co-chair of the Century Village Jewish Federation/UJA Cam- paign. Twelve-year-old Stacie Lewis, granddaughter of Ida G. Scheff of Dover B. in Century Village, performed in the role of "Scout1' in To Kill A Mockingbird, in Bridgeport, CT. She was Bat Mitzvahed on October 22nd at Congregation B'nai Israel in Bridgeport. On September 16, 1988, Morris and Pauline Wallach of Boynton Beach celebrated their 50th anniversary in Atlanta, GA with their family, who flew in from all over the U.S. to be with them. in Jewish activity among the 80,000 Jews. Currently, the camp sees 400 children. In Romania, where 21,000 Jews live (and over 1,000 depart annually to live in Israel), there are two small camps nestled deep in the Car- pathian Mountains. Those who work for the Federation and help administer its social aid programs for the needy (JDC provides $4.5 million a year) are invited to attend along with children, who can sing in the impromptu Jewish choirs, hike on mountain trails, and swim in icy mountain streams. Jewish teenagers prefer the beaches of the Black Sea, and the Federation offers two week holidays at its villa there. The Yugoslovia Jewish com- munity is nothing short of remarkable: with only 5,000 Jews, they are passionate, committed, and use their sum- mer camp not only for them- selves, but host Jewish fami- lies from Bulgaria, Czechoslo- vakia and East Germany as well.

Activists Erect Holocaust Memorial VILNIUS, Soviet Union (JTA) Activists Grigory Alpernas and Georgy Belitsky recently commemorated the 47th anniversary of the Nazis' promulgation of anti-Jewish laws by erecting a temporary marker outside the home of the Vilna Gaon, according to the National Conference on Soviet Jewry. Alpernas and Belitsky had placed ads in the local press announcing the commemora- tion, estimating that only sev- eral dozen Jews would show up. But some 500 Jews and non-Jews joined them in the commemoration. Their original request for the memorial was denied, but with the help of the Free Lith- uanian Movement, they were granted the temporary mark- er, which includes inscriptions in Yiddish and Russian, but not Hebrew. Vilnius refuseniks at the commemoration gave the activists photographs of wood carvings, sculpted according to folkloric tradition by an artist known as Bunka, which have been placed at sites of Nazi massacres of Jews. The commemoration prompted one young Vilna res- ident to write a letter pub- lished in Komyaunimu Tiesa, and reprinted in Sovietskaya Molodyozh. It said: "It is strange and awkward to write a letter with a request to mark the location of a ghetto, and to erect a monument to those killed. Do we really have to ask for such things?" The letter continued that the younger generation of Lithua- nians have not been taught that Vilnius had once been a world-renowned center of Jewish culture, or that a Jew- ish Ghetto had existed there.

Hank had been ordered to deliver propaganda material of the neo-Nazi National Demo- cratic Party to recipients in Tuebingen. He had anticipated this, and several months earlier he had asked his superior for special leave to avoid doing it. The leave was denied.

The 26-member body, domi- nated by the Soviet and third world blocs, formally denounced Israel in an inflam- matory resolution certain to find its way into the General Assembly debates. Israeli policy in the West Bank and Gaza Strip was held to be a "gross violation of human rights" and "a crime prejudicial to the peace and security of humanity. ." Included in the charges were the murder of children, mass asphyxia and the aborting of pregnant women. The sub-commission endorsed a call for Palestinian Arabs to resist "the Israeli occupation by all means. ..." Clearly, terrorism was not excluded. Endorsed too was the PLO claim of the Palestinian right "to return to their homeland .. and the establishment of their independent and sover- eign State on their national soil." It was hardly an appeal for negotiations. Indeed, ear- lier U.N. resolutions specifi- cally denounced Camp David and the Egyptian-Israeli treaty. Afterwards, PLO foreign affairs spokesman Farouk Kaddoumi addressed a confer- ence of non-governmental organizations held in Geneva. What is required to exert effective pressure upon Israel, he said, is an international boycott of the Jewish state. Precedent already exists. In 1983, the U.N. General Assem- bly voted 86 to 20 to have all member states "cease forth- with, individually and collec- tively, all dealings with Israel in order totally to isolate her in all fields." The same resolution labelled Israel not a "peace-loving state" significant language since Article IV of the U.N. Charter specifies that only "peace-loving states" are enti- tled to membership. Grounds for Israel's expulsion had been laid. Challenging Israel's creden- tials would, however, have explosive consequences. A congressional resolution, ini- tially drafted by Sen. Daniel Patrick Moynihan (D-N.Y.) and Rep. Jack Kemp (R-N.Y.) specifies that if Israel is "expelled, suspended, denied its credentials or in any man- ner denied its rights and privi- leges," the United States would withdraw from the Gen- eral Assembly and withhold its assessments. Whether a more serious challenge to Israel's status will be mounted this year is uncer- tain. After all, if successful, it would plunge the U.N. into a crisis. The annual vote to accept or reject Israel's cre- dentials is expected soon. Verbal fireworks assaulting Israel's policies and endorsing the intifada will monopolize much of the deliberations. Should PLO Chairman Yasir Arafat address the Assembly, which he reportedly is consid- ering, he will receive massive support. Should the PLO pro- claim an independent state, a U.N. resolution of endorse- ment can be expected. Continued on Page 14 Give a Little... Help a Lot! HELP US, PLEASE! CLEAN YOUR CLOSETS TODAY.

Continued from Page 13 The voting pattern virtually was predetermined on Sept. 11, at the annual meeting of the foreign ministers of coun- tries professing non- alignment. The movement represents 101 nations, the bulk of U.N. membership. Besides echoing Arafat's advo- cacy of an independent Pales- tinian state, the foreign minis- ters formally proposed that the U.N. take over "tempo- rary supervision" of the West Bank and Gaza Strip to protect Palestinian Arabs from Israeli "acts of terrorism and atrocities." Harsher anti-Israeli resolu- tions and shrill rhetoric are expected in the Assembly chambers. Support will come not only from the usual third world and the Soviet bloc nations, but also from West European countries. "It is going to be a very difficult session for Israel, no doublt," said a spokesman for the Israeli U.N. delegration.

Phone Manhattan Synagogue Torched By ANDREW SILOW CARR NEW YORK (JTA) - Vandals set fire to the entrance of the Central Syna- gogue in midtown Manhattan one morning, last week, char- ring a pair of newly refur- bished doors which had been unveiled only the day before in honor of the synagogue's 150th anniversary. Flammable liquid was poured on the doors before they were set on fire shortly before 5 a.m., police said. No messages or slogans were found at the scene. Police have deemed the fire "suspicious" but are not yet investigating it as a bias crime. The fire struck as the historic Reform temple pre- pares to celebrate its founding 150 years ago this month, according to Rabbi Stanley David. "One wonders whether this person noted this development and waited for (the doors) to be completed," said David. He said that in August, swastikas were scratched on the side of the building. The attack follows by a month the burning and desecration of a Brooklyn synagogue.

But they do have "a keen and in-depth understanding of Christian subjects," the poll revealed. The survey, conducted by the Ipsos organization for the newspaper Le Monde and Radio Luxembourg, found that only 17 percent of those ques- tioned knew that Moses "led his people out of Egypt." Only 17 percent knew that Moses received the Ten Com- mandments. Others ques- tioned described him as a Jew- ish leader, a prophet, and some thought he was one of the 12 apostles. Even less well known is Abraham. Nine percent of the respondents alternately described him as "the chief of the Jewish people," "the father of the Hebrews" or "a disciple of Jesus." The most disliked character in the Christian scriptures is Judas, the poll found. He was described by 55 percent of practicing Catholics and 42 percent of a public cross- section as "the man who betrayed Christ and betrayed God." For 19 percent of those ques- tioned, he was a symbol of greed. HOW MANY TIMES HAVE YOU HEARD SUFFERERS OF BACK PAIN SAY: "I'd pay anything forhelp!"
