By Morri:) Ka.ih.-a With most of the national election vote counted, Israel's future leadeiship remained a big question mark when this newspaper went to press. i Although news reports gave the Labor party a slight edge of about 45 seats in parliament compared to approximately 41 for Prime Minister Shamir's Likud party, whatever strength existed appeared to be with Likud. This is because the results suggested that fragmentation involving 15 political parties prompted Shamir to announce that Likud had the best chance of forming a coalition government. Likud apparently has more potential allies among the 13 smaller parties which also won seats in the Knesset. Israel's multi-party system and the shifting coalitions among different factions re-

V > ^J fleet the sji.cn-1 ni turc of the country's electoral process. Unlike the United States electoral system, in which the country is divided into numerous districts and the citizen votes for a local district representative to represent him in Congress, in Israel the entire country is regarded as one electoral district. Israelis vote for parties rather than individuals. Each party prepares its own nationwide slate of candidates, ranging in number from one to 120, depending upon the party's degree of optimism as to its success with the voters. Under a system of proportional representation, the numbsr of persons on the list who eventually gain seats in the Knesset reflects the relative strength of the party in proportion to the total number of votes cast for all the different lists.

relations By Boris Smolar August is usually a quiet month in Jewish communal activities. It is a vacation month. Not this August — when the campaign for the election of a President of the United States is approaching its culmination point. In other years, the months before going to the polls to vote for the President were relatively quiet for Jewish voters. Each voter knew well in advance for whom he would vote. The Democratic Party received its traditional majority of Jewish votes. The Republican Party was inching higher in Jewish votes with each Presidential election.

In the elections this year things are different. The anti-Jewish tone injected by Rev. Jesse Jackson into the election campaign put Jewish voters more on the alert. They saw danger for the American Jewish community if Jackson, with his intensified anti-Jewish statements, was named by the Democratic national convention a candi• date for President, for which he aspired, or even for Vice President. Experience in the last decades has shown that a Vice President could become President quite unexpectedly. This was the case with Harry Truman, when, as Vice President, he stepped into the Presidency when Roosevelt suddenly died. This was also the case with

By Bon Gollob NEW YORK <JTA) - A gift of $1.2 million shares of a major publicly-owned cor/ poration, the Premier Industrial Corp., \;.. valued at $42 million whon the gift was arranged in March, has bssn made by the Mandol family of Cleveland to the Mandsl Associated .Foundations. . . . This contribution was described by Q forU, niar Cleveland Jowiah Federation official, '• Henry Zuckor, ea "tho largeatlifotima pbih Ianthropic gift in ttie historyofCleveland." '. • Tho Pfsmtor Industrial Corp was founded and developed by the Mandsjn. Its stock in traded on tho Now "York Stock exchange.

The donors to the Foundations are Morton and Barbara Mandel, Joseph and Florence Mandel, and Jack and Lilyan Mandel. Each couple set up a Supporting Foundation to which the stock was given. Each supporting foundation is chartered by the State of Ohio. Zucker said such Foundations are a relatively new type of philanthropic agency. Zucksr, executive vico president emeritus of tho Cleveland Jewish Federation and vice president of the Endowment Development Committee of tho Council of Jewish Federations, said in telephone interviews with • (continued on page, 2)

Lyndon Johnson when President Kennedy was assasinated. Walter Mondale did not, however, chose Jackson as his running mate for Vice President. Mondale preferred to chose Geraldine Ferraro — the first woman in American history to be named for the post of Vice President. Many Jews, even among those indifferent to politics, felt happy about it. Some of the Jewish voters who never went to the polls to cast their ballots will go this November. • , The influence which Jackson now has among Blacks will probably gradually evaporate during the four years of the MondaleFerraro term, if they are elected in November. It is a well-known fact that Jackson does not enjoy the support of many leaders in the Black community, and that Black Mayors and officials were against his Presidential bid. A New York Times-CBS poll conducted among registered voters established that only 29 percent, of all registered adult Blacks interviewed said they supported Jackson; 49 percent said they supported Mondale, even though they voted for JackBon in the primaries. New leaders will emerge in the Black community during the next four years who will hardly tolerate Jackson's methods and domination. The Times-CBS poll shows that only 64 percent of all Blacks think Jackson's campaign has helped Blacks. , Between now and the November election, feverish activities are planned by Jewish organizations and Jewish community councils throughout the country to strengthen Black-Jewish relations.

Reports from some cities to the National Jewish Community Relations Advisory Council (NJCRAC) indicate that support within the Black communities for Jackson is not necessarily synonymous with support for positions that would be disturbing to the Jewish community. In Berkley, for instance, seven Black precincts, all'of which voted for Jackson in the primaries also voiced op- ' position to some of his views. From Philadelphia, it was reported that the assumption that support for Jackson constitutes a litmus test on how blacks feel about Jewish interests is not born out by facts there. Similar reports from other cities also indicated that the Black communities there are not monolithic. The fact was best illustrated at the Democratic convention in San Francisco where there were more Black Mondale delegates than Jackson delegates. The policy of national Jewish organizations is therefore to continue to keep a critical eye on Jackson's statements and at the same time make appropriate overtures to the Black community between now and November elections on issues of mutual concern. The NJCRAC will attempt to arrange national forums to be addressed by the Democratic and Republican Presidential candidates. It intends also to hold a "summit meeting" between key Black and Jewish leaders after the election. The weeks ahead ' "<: will be devoted to increased Jewish planning for constructive joint Black^Tewish initiatives. The leadership role played by major Black and Jewish organizations will figure prominently in future relations between the two groups.

sonaices nniiefi (continued from page 1) the Jewish Telegraphic AGency, that the Mandels chose to oet up the Supporting Foundations because, through such Foundations, the donors have a "considerable degree of input" into the beneficiary agencies getting grants from the Foundations. He said another reason was that the three Mandel families hoped that their special philanthropic interests and concerns would be taken into consideration in distributions after they passed away. Zucker said the three Foundations are housed in an office in the Federation and that he acted aa consultant for all three Foundations which he said function as a single'entity. He said all decisions on distributions of funds from the Foundations are made by a seven-member board of trustees, four named by the Federation and three by the Mandels. The secretary of the Foundation is Howard Borger, associate director of the Federation.

Zucker said such Foundations are considered by the United States government, for tax purposes, as public charities because they are accountable to a public charity, in this case, the Cleveland Federation. Zucker said the Mandel family had made the gift without conditions and that the trustees can sell the stock, or use the dividends, or both. He said the Mandels had traditionally "(supported a great variety of local, national and international needs. These will be continued in the future but they are also developing some ideas of their own and will probably be emphasizing that aspect more. Morton Mandel has been president of the Cleveland Federation, the Jewish Welfare Board and the CJF. Barbara Mandel is president of the National Council of Jewish Women. Jack Mandel and Joseph Mandel have OIBO. been active in philanthropic activities in Cleveland and in Hollywood, Fla. and Palm Beach, Fla.

Alleged Nazi cleaned NEW YORK (JTA) — Efforts by the Justice Department to strip Elmars .Sprogis, a 69-year-old former Latvian police official of his American citizenship, were thwarted when a U.S. district court judge ruled that the government had failed to prove beyond doubt

that Sprogis had collaborated with the Nazis in Latvia and participated in the slaughter of Jewish residents there during World War II. In an 87-page decision, Judge Frank Altimari wrote that "While it is evident that Elmars Sprogis .

watched a hundred or a hundred fifty men, women and children being marched to an execution site, the court does not believe that Congress intended to exclude from citizenship persons who were present when others were persecuted."

Wintroubs visit Soviet Union

Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Wintroub of Omaha recently returned from a 14day tour of the Soviet Union, which took them to Moscow, Minsk, Kiev, and Leningrad. The Wintroubs traveled with Mr. and Mrs. Sol Yaffe, also of Omaha. Both couples were on a tour for attorneys sponsored by Professional Seminars of New York. While in the Soviet Union, the group was able to view the Soviet legal system in action. That part of the tour involved sitting in on part, of a trial. In the particular case the Wintroubs saw, a man accused of joy-riding was found guilty and had 40 percent of his wages taken away for six months. The same man also had to pay 40 rubles for damage he caused to the car. Just before the Wintroubs left on their trip, they were contacted by Omahan Shirley Goldstein, well-known for her work with refuseniks, those Jews who would like to leave the Soviet Union but have been prevented from doing so. Mrs. Goldstein aBked the Wintroubs if they would help refuseniks while on their trip, and the couple agreed. Mrs. Goldstein gave the two some names and addresses of refuseniks in the four cities they were planning to visit. The Wintroubs were also given a number ot requests for material goods, some of which are difficult or impossible to find in the Soviet Union. Such requests came even up to take-off time. Two hours before the couple was scheduled to leave Omaha, they got a request for a pair of size eleven tennis shoes, which Mrs. Wintroub promptly purchased. The two then flew to Washington, D.C., where a member of,the International Parliamentary Group for Human Rights in the Soviet Union briefed them on the outcome of the group's recent PariB conference, so they would be able to inform refuseniks about what people in the West were doing to help them. Once in the Soviet Union, the next hurdle the Wintroubs faced was the possibility of having their bags searched by hand. Said Mr. Wintroub, "We went in

Even with their great expense, they can be made only by immediate relatives of Siberian prisoners. In addition to helping the refuseniks, the ( Wintroubs took time to note the general condition of the Soviet people. "Those people never smile," said Mr. Wintroub, although he noted they seemed adequately-fed and clothed. A check of Soviet, stores revealed lines for certain high-demand items, such as ladies' shoes. The Wintroubs then went into some of the department stores. "They had a lot of merchandise on the shelves," said Mr. Wintroub. "It was kind of shoddy. Most of it, not all, I would say, but most of it." in regard to the refuseniks, the Wintroubs felt what they were doing was not illegal. "There's no law about giving some perGon a present, that we know of. I don't think this violates any Russian law," said Wintroub.

Toronto Jewish teacher wins fight to wear skullcap at work with the full support of the principal, John McGivney. The student, appearing in court, was told that repetition of the offense could lead to a jail term and he was placed under a peace bond to be forfeited if another offense against the teacher was reported. Genesove praised the Toronto board for its support, declaring the board paid his salary during his court appearances and did not deduct any time from his sick leave. He said the situation had improved greatly. He said at meetings both at his school and city-wide staff meetings, no staff member had ever indicated that wearing a skullcap was something unusual. He said that when he explains to new students why he wears a skullcap, they respect his religious beliefs. He also said that he considers himself lucky to be working for a school board that is so adamant about backing religious freedom for all.

parent can testify, such time is choice, but I've realized lately how their interests change as they mature. The tidest, now 33, has always been fin athletic kid. Soc- I cer, softball, swimming — you name it, she loves it,. I've always called her1 "Grandma's jock". Lately she's begun to worry me u little. When wo have our day together,' she chooses what we'll do (after lunch, of course!). Her latest habit is to coax me into various activities that NEVER were my forte. You have to understand I was always the lost kid chosen for u team . .. always the one who closed her eyes as the ball got closer . . . and invariably the one who fell just short of the base. My trophies were skinned knees and the jeers of my team-mates. And now this very uthletic grandkid tells me she really wants-us to go bowling! Talks me into believing I would NOT make a public spectacle of myself, that of course I could life the ball and certainly I would have fun. She said she would coach me unobtrusively, walk me through the steps — we'd have a ball! 1 Well she was wrong on all but one count. She did coach me, but the rest was a disaster. I lived through it, but just barely. And the only fun came from the surprised expressions and the "YOU went bowling? Alright!" Since that fateful day, things have gone better. I can at least get an occasional hole in one at putt-putt golf; and I didn't^do anything dumb at the amusement park. (I also didn't go on any of the rides!) And I have the good sense to leave such activities as water-skiing with her to the more outdoor-adults, so chances are I'll make it through this summer. Her little sister is still interested in things I can handle with a little more dignity. When all else fails, we stroll through the Central Park Mall and feed the ducks. Or we spend an exciting time at the Children's Museum while she covers every square inch of the place. I suspect she would still enjoy a session of baking cookies with me. Truthfully, it hardly matters what we do, as long as we're able to do it together. The fun of having kids around without their parents is indescribable. Dinner with Grandpa and me brings all topics of conversation, no matter what; and parents of young kids ought to be reminded that they tell all, so watch what you say! A day with a grandchild is so special, it ought to come with a money-back guarantee. In case you missed the point, let me just say the summer would be incomplete without my time with those girls!

'C-t'^-C' r ( , v The Democratic Party has taken a dramatic step in advancing the cause of women's rights. A woman has been elected the Party's candidate for vice president of the United States. At the party's recent national convention, the Equal Rights Amendment was a focal point end e rallying cry for the numerous women delegates in the hall. . There is no question that now is the time for women to demand equal consideration without discrimination. Within the national Jewish community,women are rising to the forefront of organizational life including prestigious Federation leadership. Women rabbis also are seeing more and more doors opening. The time is now. There is also an issue at the local level which is now being attended to. For years, women have not enjoyed equal access to health club facilities at the Omaha Jewish Community Center. For years, women have accepted this situation good naturedly and have done the best they could with what they had. Now, however, a move is underway to correct the long-standing inequity. A survey has been mailed to women under the name of Darlynn Fellman, chairman, Women's Health Club Services Study Committee. The survey asks for both specific and general information regarding present and potential use of health dub facilities by women. Once the findings are tabulated, the Study Committee will be in a better position to make recommendations. It will be interesting to see what the survey finds and what the recommendations will be. Those who have received the survey should respond promptly so that the committee can complete its project. ' Equity for women is sweeping the land. Go for it.

A question has arisen as to whether Farrakhan ac: tually said that "Judaism is a gutter religion." On June 28, the New York Times published excerpts from a transcript of an address by Farrakhan on radio station WBEE in Chicago, as recorded by a reporter for The Chicago Sun-Times. The transcript includes the following paragraph: "Now that nation called Israel never has had any peace in 40 years and she will never have any peace, because there can be no peace structured oh injustice, thievery, lying and deceit and using the name of God to shield your gutter religion under His holy and righteous name."

These new funds were added to the more than $5 million of invested principal. As a result, the Foundation awarded dozens of grants totaling $700,000 from its income, helping many local and national Jewish agencies. The wonderful thing about endowments is that each year they generate income that can be disbursed while the principal remains intact. Then next year and each following year, that income can again fund worthwhile programs.

The fund for the Blumkin Horns is one example. Ita income may only bs used for the upkeep of the Home and the benefit of the residents. Other esamples are: The Jewish Community Center's endowment fund, from the sale of the old Center and other contributions, may only be used for the JCC. The LOVE Program Fund, created by the LOVE volunteers for the Home's residento, may ba used only for programs in the Home and special projects for the elderly; the Kenneth R. Tretiak Memorial, established by his parents, is restricted to special projects for young people at the Center and in this community, such as new playgrounds at the JCC and tlje Jewish History Quiz Box in the Center's lobby.

Our Foundation endowment funds, and many others across the country, have proved to be a boon to many charities during this time when annual giving has not kept up with inflation.

The Foundation has 14 additional smaller funds, bequests and memorials whose combined principal totals $57,000. The income is used for general purposes, such as helping the Federation agencies in their general budgeting and supporting the overall operations of the Center, the Jewish Press, the Federation Library, the ADL-Community Relations Committee, the Bureau of Jewish Education, Jewish Family Service and the Bureau for the Aging.

Here are some local and national agencies who have benefitted from Federation Foundation funds just in the past two years: Beth El Synagogue, Temple Israel, Council Bluffs Hebrew Cemetery, B'nai B'rith Beber Camp, AntiDefamation League, Congregation Ahavath Sholom, American Jewish Committee, Jewish Day School, JCC Cardiac Rehabilitation Program, Hadassah and Pioneer Women.

The many creative methods of contributing to the permanent endowment of the Federation Foundation offer you the opportunity to shape and insure the future of our Jewish community. These methods also allow you to plan your estate so you can gain many tax advantages for yourself and heirs.

Of course, as the result of the sale of properties or largescale donations and fund-raising for specific projects such as the Rose Blumkin Jewish Home, a few funds in our Foundation are large and restricted in their use.

For more information about the Foundation's grants or benefits, call Allan Greene, Federation Executive Vice President, 334-8200.

The growth and transformation of Israel is an astounding reality nearing miraculous dimensions. Since 1948, the population haB grown from 870,000 to 4,140,000, 83 percent are Jews, 13 percent moslem Arabs, 2.3 percent Christians and 1.7 percent Druze and others. More than half the populations are Sabras, (born in Israel), 33 percent of the population is 14 years of age and under. The Gross National Product has increased from $1.4 billion to $24.3 billion, exports from $28 million to $11 billion and per capita income from $480 in 1952 to $4,470 in 1983. Education in Israel is free and compulsory for ages 5-16 with 1.25 million youngsters currently attending elementary, academic and vocational schools. Students in universities have grown from 1635 in 1948 to 62,365 in 1983. Imagine, if you will, what progress and achievement could have been added to this incredible list if it were not for the devastating wars with its Arab neighbors which have taxed

its human and financial resources beyond that of any other country in the world. And each and every contributor to the Federation has played a part in the development and progress of Israel.

Israel and American vtews take a step toward normalcy By Irving Groerdterg President, National Jewish Resource Center The most important news about the forthcoming Israeli election is: present polls indicate that it will be a 'routine' election. This will be en important further step toward normalization of politics.! process in Israel. This is good news for Israel. But American Jewry will have to make a mejor adjustment to the nonne'oy end this b going to involve some strain. Let i-ie e*j>!i!in the i<ia;.dos. Israel is only thirty-tij: yzats old. TLs recovery of Jewish political culture end mastery of tha process of Eovercignty is in its infant Ltigcs. The events of the founding of the stele v/ora to momentous that, ever since, the founding generation dominated tho political ccc-no in !ur£« than life fesLion. Tha ttete creation process left Mentcliem Begin and his party to 'out of it' that for thirty years there was never turnover of the governing party. This IVCQ bed for the governing process. Many deepceated problems built up — excessive governmental intervention in tha economy; a Sephardic-Aokhenczic social pep, structural inflation, reliEioua-cecular polarization. But the electorate had no political alternative to turn to — which is tho standard way of getting action in a healthy democracy. Finally in 1077, in the aftershock of the Yora Kippur war ond out of the cumulative) explooiveness of the Sephardim'a sense of being shortchanged and excluded, Likud was elected. In truth, Likud wa3 not prepared to govern. Trying to fres up the economy, the new government instead unleaGed unrelenting inflation (further stimulated by the cost of replacing the oil and air bases returned with the Sinai). Appealing to Sephardic and religious traditionalist cultures and giving vent to Sephardic resentments, the gov-

ernment appeared to be intensifying rather than solving existing problems. Normally the solution to the failures is a' new election and a switch in ruling parties. This would have enabled Likud to digest the lessons it had learned in its maiden administration and ellowtd Labor's fresh energy to tackle the problems. For a while, this appeared to be the likely outcome of the 1031 election. However, the transfer of politick! power was not yet a routine matter bactd on performance. The thirst for the dignity of tccognition end full political participation which fueled tha Likud victory had not yet been slaked. Many Eqihardic end religious , perty voters foit unsure that a Li;bor (Alignment) government would respect their newly won gains. Sufficient voters put those gains ahead of current performance end the vote narrowed. Although the Likud vote dipped, the party was able to eke out a ruling coalition for four more years. In the courGo of the additional years, the Likud government tried a bold gamble. It undertook a war in Lebanon that lucked the justification of a clear ond precent danger to Ioraali curvival. Instead, the government hoped for a major breakthrough for potce if it won. For tho fitat time, a war deeply divided Israel but hed it succeeded the public would hove backed Likud. However, Br.sh.ir Gcmayel's assassination and American pressure on Icsreel snatched dafeat from the jaws of victory. Israel la bogged down in Lebanon and these problems on top of the economy have, as of now, convinced sufficient voters to svyiteh to Labor to bring a change in regime. This means that tensions are low enough to permit regular changes of administration for the sake of greater performance. Thus, Israel is taking another ginnt step toward the nonapocalyptic, routine transfers of power — the type which occur in a society whose basic political concensus and democratic process are firmly established. In America, except for rare elections which polarize around como great struggle (Depression, Civil War), parties are voted in and out of power with Jittlo of the fierceness and fear which marks shaky democratic systems. Thi3 election is a sign of maturation of democracy in Israel. Once thore have been a couple of back-and-forth transfers of power between the parties, future shifts will ba even more 'normal' electoral options for the voters seeking policy changes. Amorican Jews, however, have a great adjustment coming. For mo3t of American Jewry, the Israeli government is not viewed through normal lenses as a group of politicians . who are chosen by the voter on the basis of personal advantage and regularly voted in and out as the situation varies. With one party in power for thirty years, American Jews identified with the group as super-statesman. Characters like Ben Gurion and Golda Meir were like Biblical figures. The left, liberal image of Israeli leadership mads it even easier to identify with. Nineteen seventy-seven was a shocker for American Je-

wry. While most switched loyalty to the new heads of the 'Jewish people,' many American Jews found the new governing elite hard to swallow. They were 'right' not left. Begin wes too visibly Jtwieh/treditional — and argumentative to boot. The West Btnk policy was too expansionist for most Americans and the religious fervor too crowding. Thc-ie wes concUmt talk of incipient Fascism (Why were til those Et-pherditn tinging Begin Melech Yisrael — Begin King of Israel?); of uiiHtcry tdvtnturiEm (Arik the Terrible); of religious fanaticism (weren't they eaying that Reform end Conservative eta not valid Jews; when it came to deciding 'Who Is a Jew'?). The danger is that American Jews will misinterpret a change in government as another cpocalyptic chift — from right wing expansionism to liberal, tolerant, dovish policies. They will KO this change as saving Icrsel from the path of Levantinicm. Theus stereotypes ore all gross simplifications which do not do justice to the solidity of Israeli democracy or to tho relatively narrow spread on policy between the two parties. The Alignment will neither disestablish Orthodoxy nor simply give back the West Bank. The shifts in policy will be important but hardly carthshaking. American Jews must learn greater appreciation for Likud end religious party positions no they can dsal with the inevitable future back and forth shifts without going manicdepressive each time. When there are- more Conservative and Reform Jews in Israel, they will shift the balance of power to pluralism whichever party reigns. The products of Israel's 'normal' party process should not ba glorified as supermen or larger than life. They are politicians with all tho strengths end weaknesses of that often honorable role. This means more judgment and policy analysis by American Jewry's leadership and less "papa knows bsst" psychology. Consensus in oupport of Isrcel need not take tho form of agreeing with every policy of every government. In short, American Jewry must mature in its political judgments about and for Israel. ' Israel's isolation arid the constant Arab threat and the enormous media concentration on Israel have magnified every issue to one of life and death. This has led American Jews to treat every problem'that turns up in the Israeli body politic as if it i3 a fatal cancer and every turn of Israel's political wheel as an ultimate throw of tha dice. Now American Jews must learn to trust Israel moro es a normal, healthy state. Israel is here to stay for the long haul. Its fate is being decided by a hundred daily acts of community building, farm planting, technology development. American Jews can help increase these processes) through philanthropy, investment, and political action — no matter which party is in power. Continuing the old excessive expectations will lead to frustration or disillusionment. A more realistic, mature relationship can led to a true partnership between Diaspora and Israel. ,,,.

By Gwin Cover Editor's Note: The following, article was entered in the Nebraska Jewish Historical Society Morris C. Fellman Memorial Fund Essay contest by Gwin Cover. It is being reprinted here, in part, by permission of the Nebraska Jewish Historical Society. Fourteen women met in the home of Mrs. Abe Kulak'' f".. ofsky at 1811 Izard Street on Dec. 22, 1904. Their purpose was the organization of a charitable group to supply needy Jewish women and children with medical attention and other necessary assistance. Members were part of the local Jewish elite — the wives of business and professional men. Four of the original fourteen members were surnamed Kulakofsky; several were sisters. Familial ties, by birth or marriage, remained strong throughout the organization's history. These women did their philanthropic and social work together; they socialized together —•' their picnics and card parties became regular events; and they worshiped together. In 1921, they formed a junior auxiliary with an initial membership of almost 100 daughters of members. The Society was part of a national and international be- if (Men's) Associated Charities would assist. However, this ning through the minutes.

Envoy says Israeli relations with S. Africa overblown by detractors By Sheldon Kir&hner (Sheldon Kirshner was in South Africa for three weeks on assignment for the Canadian Jewich Newt. This is the second of a two-part report on Ieratl't; relations with that country.) TORONTO (JTA) — Israeli Ambassador Eliahu Lankin, in an interview, brushed aside a suggestion that Isrnc-l is sensitive to its relations with South Africa. But he pointed out that these ties are exploited by critics. Lankin's chief assistant, Meir Padan, noted that anti-Israel detractors embroider the Israeli-South African link so as to defame Israel whenever possible. Both Lankin end Padan said that too much is made of Israel's relations with South Africa. Trade, which is worth approximately $200 million annually, is overblown. According to the International Monetary Fund, Israel — which has been criticized in the United Nations for its commercial links with South Africa — accounts for 0.4% of South Africa's imports and 0.7% of its exports. Apart from manufactured goods, fish, corn and processed foods, Israel buys steel and coal from South Africa. From Israel, South Africa purchases chemicals, agricultural products and fertilizers. Israel's largest export items, being classified as electronic equipment and metal products and machinery, fuel speculation that Israel contravenes the United Nations embargo by selling arms to South Africa. Recently, U.S. Presidential contenders Gary Hart and Jesse'Jackson said that Israel was shipping weaponry to South Africa. Jackson went as far as to accuse Israel of acquiescing in the oppression of Blacks in South Africa. Two months ago, the Sunday Times of London reported that Israel and South Africa have close military ties. The Times claimed that around 300 Israeli advisors arc in South Africa helping to train soldiers, sailors and pilots, and that Pretoria and Jerusalem cooperate in the nuclear field on the basis of South African uranium being exchanged for Israeli technology. Lankin said he doesn't know "anything" about such iinks. South Africa, he declared, can manufacture its own arms. Lankin acknowledged that, many years ago, South Africa bought Israeli patrol boats and Uzi sub-machine guns. "I read about it in the newspapers," he saidv He described as "sheer nonsense" the notion that Israeli advisors are attached to the South African armed forces/'South Africa is not Syria, and Israel is not Soviet Russia. South Africa haa a very well-equipped and trained army. The South Africans can take very good care of themselves, although we have more experience than they do." A South African strategist offered a slightly different view of the situation. "Officially, South Africa has no formal military ties with Israel.- But there is military cooperation, which is a classified matter." The strategist, who is associated with a university, said South Africa and Israel share information on missile development and counter-insurgency. (Like Israel, South Africa has carried out retaliatory raids against its neighbors, principally Angola and Mozambique, for aiding African National Congress guerrillas — which have had relations with the PLO.) He said he doubted whether the two are working together in nuclear research. Lankin, who was an Irgun Zwei Leumi fighter against the British in pre-state Israel, debunked the myth that Israel supports apartheid. Moral questions, such as apartheid, should not be the foundation upon which nations base their relations, Lankin said. However, Israel's view on apartheid is clear. "We can't condone it," the 69-year-old diplomat said. "We, as Jews, cannot accept it as a conception. It is against Jewish convictions." Why, then does Israel reject United Nations resolutions

on apartheid? Because, Lankin said, they equate apartheid with Zionifcm. Israel, he noted, would vote for an antiapartheid resolution on its own merits. "We are against dis.crumination of human beings because of their race, status and nationality." Lankin, too, derided Eug[;y!>tioiis that kra'A backs the South African Black homelands of Cit.kei, Truiwkei, BophutliaUvvana and Venda, none of which has been accorded recognition. There have been reports that Israeli buuinitemen — notably Yorcm Aridor, the former finance minister — have been deeply involved in the homeland::-. Lrtst month, the Sunday Times of Johannesburg reported on its fiont page that Israelis had landed contracts in "the dirt-poor" republic of Ciskei to build an airport and a harbor. Last November, The Jerusalem Post diecloced that 18 Ciskeians were in Israel for a 1-year pilot training couroe. Scuttling any idea that the Israeli government is behind these schemes, Lankin said Israel hews to its policy of nonrecognition of the homelands (which have been described by critics as mere Bantustans completely subservient to South Africa.) "We feel bound by United Nations resolutions not to recognize the homelands. We have enough troubles with the United Nations without recognizing these homelands. We are too small a nation to start breaking resolutions, which do not affect us directly." Lankin, personally, is in favor of a pro-homeland policy by Israel, for international recognition of the homelands would render them more independent of South Africa, he argued. Padan, in addressing himself to the issue, said South Africa has never pressured Israel to recognize the homelands. And he emphasized that Israel does not encourage Israeli entrepreneurs to do business there. ,; Observers do not feel that Israel's negative view of South Africa's Black homeland policy affects Pretoria's positive outlook toward Israel. South Africa has a long history of philo-Zionism, and the Afrikaner elite identifies with the Israelis as an embattled, Biblical people. Jan Smuts, a revered figure in South African history, was an ardent Zionist and one of the authors of the 1917 Bolfour Declaration. Smuts admired the tenacity of the Jews and said they reminded him of his fellow Afrikaners — a blend of Dutch, French, German and Portuguese settlers. . In the 2'A years he has been ambassador, Lankin has had nothing but friendly contacts with Afrikaners. "They have a certain admiration for Israel and I have felt it in every contact with them. They say the Old Testament is their guide, and they respect the courage of the Israelis." Carter Ebraim, a colored politician, agrees with Lankin. "Israel has an epic impact upon the people of this country, although non-whites, especially blacks, tend to sympathize with the Palestinians." A senior official in the South African foreign ministry, a relatively young man who has served in the U.S.,1 said: "The Afrikaners here identify very strongly with Israel's struggle, and there has always been a desire on our part to enter into a close relationship with Israel." The general sympathy exhibited for Israel by the Afrikaner-dominated National Party — which has been in power since 1948 — expresses itself on a/practical level. Before South Africa was suspended from the United Nations General Assembly in 1975, the South African delegate usually cast pro-Israeli votes. Although South Africa hewed to a policy of "strict neutrality" when the Six Day War broke out, the government waived its ban on the transfer of charitable funds to Israel on the second day of that conflict.

nana splits on the 20th. Great way to celebrate. Friday, July 20 was Karin's last day as Recreation Director at the Blumkin Home. She is leaving to pursue a career with the city, and it goes without saying that she will be sorely missed. In her years in this position, she developed a rapport with the residents that few in her job could reach, not to mention the obvious attachments she formed with them. In her words: "I will miss everyone — the volunteers have made the activity program the best in Nebraska (they made me look good). And I will miss my 'family', all the residents who have helped me grow through their wisdom and love." On Aug. 13, one.of our residents will give a miniconcert on the piano for the Older Adults at the JCC. Ida Pearlman will play several classical selections for the group, including the "Warsaw Concerto" and "Clairde Lune". Come and enjoy.

JERUSALEM (JTA) — The Jewish Agency has confirmed for the first time that thousands of Falashas — Ethiopian Jews — are in Israel. According to data released by its immigration and absorption department, about a quarter of Ethiopian Jewry now lives in Israel, more than half of them under 18 and only five percent over 60 years of age. This information was disclosed after reporters were taken on a tour of absorption centers in northern Is-

Public doubt JERUSALEM (ZINS) — Following are some inter-,,. esting findings from a survey conducted by Dr. Ziona Peled on Arab-Jewish relationships in Israel. Seventy per cent of the Jewish population does not trust the loyalty of Israeli Arabs to the State, compared with 37% who held that view back in 1970. The survey further indicates that 75% of the Jewish population does not regard the P.L.O. as the sole representative of the Arabs. The same percentage be-

lieves that setting up an independent Palestinian Arab state will threaten the very existence of Israel. A significant majority of the Jewish population opposes returning the Golan Heights to Syria or even agreeing to any compromise on that subject. The opinions about the West Bank provinces of Judea and Samaria are divided. The attitude of the Sephardic Jewish community toward the. Arabs is more negative than most of the Ashkenazic Jews to their Arab neighbors.
