After the meeting, Fernandez told the Jewish Telegraphic Agency that the Indian government "will examine its relations with Israel within a couple of weeks." He said the five Indian Socialist ministers feei that diplomatic tics should be established between India and Israel. At present, Israel has no diplomatic relations with New Delhi though It maintains a Consulate at Bombay which deliberately keeps a low profile. Former Premier Indira Ghandl was especially hostile toward Israel. While Israeli diplomatic circles expected a thawing in relations following Gbandl's defeat in the Indian elections last month, no signs ' of a change were evident until Allon'B meeting with Fernandez here.

Forward March Many of us can recall the delight of our grandparents and possibly our parents as they deliberated over their copy of the Jewish Daily Forward, the Yiddish paper published in New York and circulated throughout the world. The Forward celebrates its 80th anniversary on Sunday and although its circulation has declined over the years, the devotion of its readers and the impact of the paper on the Jewish experience continues. '•."'• In the past couple of years, the Forward has appealed to its readership for funds to cover its operating deficit and to strengthen its financial position^ Amazingly, thousands of readers, the great majority of them probably living on Social Security, responded with contributions because they did not want to see "their paper" in distress. The. Jewish Press of Omaha warmly wishes the Forward — the granddaddy of Jewish communications media — a happy birthday and a long, long life..

A LOOK AT ISRAEL'S ELECTION TRENDS Haifa — The Israel election campaign is heating up. It is marked by massive and imaginative advertising in the press, largely an assault by the parties upon each other. Labor ridicules Menahem Begin and his Likud as one who has failed eight times in his efforts to take over, the government, but is trying a ninth time. The religious bloc pictures Labor as a deflated lire. Yadln's Democratic Party is held up to scorn, and in turn calls for a change.. The leftist parties make it sound as if only they are for peace, and the new Women's Party campaigns for pension rights and paid holidays for housewives. Thus far, there are 24 parties in the race. The traditionally dominant labor trend is struggling against odds to maintain its' supremacy. Pressure groups are aware,of this and have chosen this time to extract from the bard-pressed government the maximum b.y way of economic concessions.

Des Moines Jews Protest Sharansky Arrest
Federation Names New Director
An Open Letter to President Jimmy Carter, • What Russian people have come to understand is that "paper has patience." The best intentions of the Helsinki Accord reThe United States Senate and the main unfulfilled. Thus, the promises made on paper were just United States House of Representatives that, paper promises. The principles of the highest human rights have been proclaimed at Helsinki, and.the Soviet Union wishes the world to believe that she earnestly supports these principles. It simply is not true. Everyday brings more and more information and facts about the Russian police, the KGB, harrassing dissidents and supressing human rights. The latest example of Soviet hypocrisy was* the arrest ot the Jewish activist, Anatoly Sharansky, on a fraudulent charge of espionage. Anatoly Sharansky's arrest is simply this culmination of a concerted effort by the KGB to suppress his activism for freedom. His initial application tor an exit visa was not only his personal plea for his inalienable right to rejoin his family, now living in Israel, but unfortunately served as an unfounded warrant (or his persecution and arrest. Anatoly Sharansky is a spy, but not in the employ of any foreign power. He is a spy on behalf of the Russian people, and he has been arrested by the Soviet government to prevent further spreading of the truth regarding the blatant and malicious denial of basic human rights within Russia today. We, recent emigres from the Soviet Union now living in the United States, ask all people who enjoy the benefits of freedom and basic human rights to help free Anatoly Sharansky and all activists who are being suppressed in the same way. We especially ask for the continued support of the United ByCharleenFelnberg Campaign team captain Tom States government and President Jimmy Carter In the struggle 'Goldman has'Jived In Des Moines to put an end to such injustices.

It is hard to explain the feeling and hopes ol the Soviet people as we awaited the signing of the Helsinki Accord. After Leonid Brezhev executed this document on behalf of the government, the Soviet people's hope for an enlargement upon fundamental human rights was greatly heightened. We felt this to be a great -moment in Soviet history, only to see instantaneously the spirit _ ^ / of the Act ignored with malice and disregard toward the Soviet people'. The Gulag Archipelago, built by Stalin, and depicted most vividly by Solzhenitzyn has never been erased from the map of the Soviet Union. Within the Gulag there are institutions to bouse the insane. The people that are housed in sanitariums are those who have persisted in demanding basic human rights, including the right to emigrate. Their feelings, hopes and love of life and freedom are not tolerated by Soviet leaders.

It is with a great deal of anticipation and excttment that I assume the position of executive director of the Jewish Federation of Des Moines. The Jewish Community of Des Moines has earned a nationwide reputation for its Innovative and creative approach to the uplifting of the quality of Jewish life. Working with a dynamic leadership and a committed community, we will together continue the betterment of ourselves and our brethren throughout the world. I look upon my new responsibility with much enthusiasm, and with the promise that excellence and Klal Ylsrael will always be our end goal. Our continuing support for the people of Israel, financially, politically and morally, must be uppermost in our community's agenda of priorities* Local needs and servles must compliment our relationship with our people worldwide. In order for Israel to develop its strength, we, the American Jewish Community, must make every effort to insure our own creative and positive survival. Our fate Is interdependent; we must strive to keep both sides strong. Our Federation is a forum and "central address" for the entire spectrum of the organized Jewish communal family. We must continue to build bridges and develop1 healthy and positive ongoing relationships with all segments of our people in Des Moines and throughout our nation. It is crucial for our dynamic growth that all constructive ' aspects of Issues be aired before decisions effecting the totality of our community are enacted. The Federation must have the support of the Community In order for it to effectively function for the good of the Jewish people. Much work remains to be undertaken, but with everyone Involved we will accomplish a great deal. Janet and I are so very pleased that we are becoming an integral part of a warm and caring community, We look forward to raising our growing fasr.tty among car we* found friends, and being with you in the very nerfr future.
