U.S. shou American strategic interests in the Middle East would best be esrved by a policy of strict neutrality in the Iran-Iraq war in place of tha current "tilt" toward Iraq, says on American Jewish Congress report. Characterizing the four-year old conflict cs "(»rucEoniB," the ctudy, published by tho organization's Commission on International Affairs, Eaya the war appears to fas unvvinnable by either side. It contends that to a large extent the U.S. fovora Ircq bscause of frustration and humiliation over the 1979-01 hostage crisis and last year's assault on tha Marineo' compound in Beirut. The tilt toward Iraq, caya the report, which wao prepared by American Jewish Congress policy analyst Raphael Danzigor and associate enccutive director Phil Baum, ignores the fact that American long-term interests call for encouraging Iran to re-establish ties with the West after the passing of the Khomeini regime. The primary U.S. objective should ba "to strengthen those groups in Iran most likely to succeed the mullahs," the report declares, noting that the most likely pro-Western groups are the regular military forces and the middle class.

"There era clear indications that many members of theoe groups would eacerly restore Iran to the Western cemp if the United States were to make it possible for them to do no," contends the report, which is entitled, "The Iran-Iraq War: Options for the United States and Ioracl." "Viewed from such a perspective," the Gtudy continues, "the pronounced and wellpublicized U.S. tilt toward Iraq and its Gulf Arab allies may well be miscalculated. Nothing has united the Iranian population behind the mullahs as hs3 the war with Iraq, and no Iranian can contemplate even clandestine overtures toward the United States as long a3 it openly supports Iraq and its allies." The analysia declarer that a public "detachment" by the U.S. from Iraq and the resumption of strict neutrality would "greatly facilitate" the activities of proAmsrican elements in Iran. Among the steps that should be taken by the United States, the report urges, is the cessation of its one-sided blockade of Western arms sales to Iron, which is now "starved for arms, ammunition and spare , (continued on page 5)

Jewish By Morris Malino What fpllowa is a summary of the background incidents leading up to the statements regarding State Sen. Ernest Chambers in today's Jewish Press. > In April, Sen. Chambers spoke at a Jesse Jackson rally in Omaha and a portion of his speech was telecast on KETV's Kaleidoscope program. Excerpts from that portion of his talk which was broadcast include the following: " . . . I want to go back to Israel, the Jews and Jesse Jackson. Black people are afraid to say that Jevva don't like us, but they don't. When I grew up, my mother and other Black people's mothers worked for Jews. And they like to pay you with hand-me-down clothes, leftover food. So the Jew is no different to me than any other group. If he treats me decently, he has decent treatment coming. But, he's not going to sit around and.mess over me and then expect me to swallow spit and be afraid to say what he has done to hurt me. . "Whenever Black people and Jews get together — supposedly, Black people are on the cutting edge getting our heads knocked in. We take the heat. While we're talking about trying to get a job and.some food to feed our children, "they're talking about, discrimination in executive suites. And want to tell-us-that their situation is the same as ours i i

On May 8, Howard Kaslow, president of the Jewish Federation of Omaha, and Carl Greenberg, president, Anti: Defamation League/Community Relations Council, directed a letter to Sen.'Chambers. A copy was published in ' the Jewish Press, May 11.In this letter, Mr. Kaslow and Mr. Greenberg called the

senator's remarks "damaging and insensitive to the Omaha Jewish community". . They also said, "Remarks which tend to reinforce or encourage racial or religious stereotypes can be difficult to counteract, and are especially so when these remarks come from a respected leader such as yourself. "If we are to promote racial and religious harmony among all members of our community, we must guard against public statements which tend to create prejudice, stereotype and hate. By doing this, we can act together to promote better human relations for individuals from all walks of life." In the July 20 edition of the Omaha World Herald, Sen: Chambers wrote "Another Point of View column" in which he led off with the following statement: "The breathtaking power of Jews in America is graphically demonstrated by the aftermath of the Farrakhan incident . . . " Later, he said that some in the media accused Farrakhan of saying "Judaism is a gutter religion. Although he used neither Judaism nor gutter, some of the media and Jewish spokesmen continue to insist that he did . . . " (In our July 27 issue of the Jewish Press,, we reprinted that portion of the New York Times article which quotes Farrakhan as saying."gutter religion".) In the Aug. 2 issue of the- Omaha World-Herald, an Associated Press story utilized some of the information said to be contained in a letter from Sen. Chambers to Black Muslim leader Louis Farrakhan. Excerpts from this story follow: " . . . As I watched Jesse backtrack and apologize to the • (continued on page 2)

Jewish agencies respond Listen to this: they held a convention in Israel last June which attracted more than 100 people. It was a colloquium on Jewish humor, held at Tel Aviv University. Forty-two "experts on Jewish humor" made prcscnt.nt.ions, and I want you to know this entire business wus dreamed up by 11 respected psychology professor et the university's Department of Educational Sciences. From the article I read, I could only conclude that it was a very serious meeting, and that not very many people enjoyed themselves. No wonder... they discussed such things as "Humor and psychotherapy", "Humor and education" and "Structural affinities between the comic and the rsublime in pictorial imagery". Sounds utterly boring to me. Rut then my idea of humor is a wonderful story about something that really happened, or the typical way we Jews tend to laugh at ourselves. Though the tongue is often a bit oharp, the wisecrack usually iB too. ' . .. Something else struck me, as well, not funny, maybe interesting is a better word. These experts came to the conclusion that people who write humor for a living tend to be highly motivated, introverted, anxious and insecure. Also they allegedly co'me from lower middle class families where parental conflict was common. Now really, I ask you — does that sound like it makes sense? Nonsense is more like it; I think we're just naturally a people who find humor in every day living. Maybe it's also a little of that "you'd better laugh or you're apt to cry" syndrome. A people which has spent centuries looking over its collective shoulder needs to find humor wherever it can; I think the great number of Jewish comics have simply evolved down through the years. We now live in a much more informal fashion than in the past. No wonder it's easy for the Jewish entertainer to stand before crowds and describe his mother's matzo balls as hockey pucks. Or his guilt as genetic. Or the one who says as a teen he thought that thing growing out of his face was a banana, but it turned out to be his nose... No, I don't think we have to make anything scientific out of humor. Maybe we just realize the fact that we NEED to laugh, whether at ourselves or our families; it makes more sense to reach for a giggle than a frown.

(continued from page 1) applause and approval of racists, Jews, Uncle Toms and Aunt Jemimas, he made me think of B jet-propWled crawdad. ".. . Jesse now has been approved by the big guns of the white and Jewish establishments. They have won again. Jesse is back in the barn where he belongs)." According to the Associated Press account, Sen. Chambers' letter indicated the enclosure of some material disclosing his position on the "Jewish ie&ue" and the "cowardliness of the local Jews who threw a couple of ninrshmullows at me — then high-tailed it for cover. They will stomp a man who won't fight back." Sen. Chambers also was'quoted as raying: "The rich, smug Jews are like slnvemastcrs growing fat on the unpaid forced labor of black slaves, telling those slaves that since they both live on the plantation, their plights are the same." i Following this article, responses came from the Jewish Federation of Omaha, the ADL/CRC committee and the Jewich Press (see editorial on page 4). Editorial responses critical of Sen. Chambers' anti-Semitic remarks also were forthcoming from the Omaha World-Herald, the Lincoln Journal and State Sen. Vnrd Johnson.

Statement of Howard J. Kaslow, President of the Jewish Federation of Omaha, Inc. in Response to the Letter of Senator Ernie Chambers to Louis Farrakhan; "It is a tragedy that a man of Mr. Chambers' ability and intellect must resort to bigotry und prejudice as the vehicles for creating his public identity. By doing so he dishonors and demeans his position os an elected official of the State of Nebraska, us a leader of his community, as a representative of his constituency, and as a human being. "There simply is no place in American life for the attitudes and beliefs, whether spoken or 'unspoken, that Mr. Chambers' statements reflect. If Mr. Chambers truly seeks to promote the interests of the Black community and if, indeed, he would build rather than destroy bridges between that community and the rest of American society, then sooner or later he must come to understand that America's true strength lies in its ability to deal with individual human beings solely on the merits of their personal qualities, without regard to race, religion or ethnic background. We have not as a nation always been successful in meeting that challenge, but there is no other course. Mr. Chambers' Btatements and the philosophy they reflect are representative of a past that has no place in America's future; and such statements, the unwanted and irrelevant baggage of the past, must be openly and unequivocally rejected by fair-minded persons of every background and persuasion." . The following otatement was provided to the Jewish Prcos by the Anti-Defamation League of B'nai B'rith. The Anti-Defamation League of B'nai B'rith/Community Relations Committee of the Jewish Federation of Omaha strongly condemns the recent anti-Semitic statements of State Senator Ernest Chambers. In supporting the anti-Jewish attacks of Rev. Louis Farrakhan, Mr. Chambers adds false claims that Jews exercise too much control over the media and economy, following the false propaganda of a kind that was used to justify the Holocaust. The anti-Jewish bigotry of Ernie Chambers has no place in a democratic, pluralistic society which is tolerant of all its minorities, be they Black, Jewish or Hispanic. The ADL/CRC calls upon community and'religious leaders to join it in denouncing the anti-Semitism Senator Chambers has been propagating publicly. The ADL is a civil rights organization with a 71-year, history of combatting discrimination and stereotyping and defending the rights of all American citizens. Recently, the League issued a strong condemnation, of the anti-Catholic hate propaganda circulated by the Tony and Susan Alamo Foundation. While responding to the anti-Jewish hostility and racism publicly espoused by Mr. Chambers, we recognize that his views are not representative of the Black community in Omaha. The ADL/CRC calls upon the leadership of the Black community to work closely with us to improve mutual understanding between our two communities, and to renew our historic alliance which has brought much social progress to our nation.

Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson, the leader of the Lubavitch Movement, has reached out to the Jews of Nebraska sending two students from New York to share a Jewish experience with the community. The arrival of the students, Abraham Hertz and Chono Perman was welcomed by the community, members of which discussed concepts Of Judaism and the importance of Jewish education. Families with different attitudes about Jewish life in modern times invited them to their homes for an evening get-together.

Rabbi Schneerson The theme of this year, they say, is unity. "The Talmud states in Sotah 34 that the weight of a person can lift up on his own is only a third of the load he is able to lift with another."

First Gprdpba.bs^rTTitzyah: since Columbus left Spain By Ben Gallob NEW YORK (JTA) - A vice president of a l^onj; Island Reform synagogue said that a son" of a congregational family is celebrating his Bar Mitzvah in three countries over a period of three months, an event which a national Reform rabbinical official said he believed was "virtually unique" in American Jewish history. Burt Wagner, vice president for ritual at Temple B'nai Israel in Elmont, told the Jewish Telegraphic Agency, in a telephone interview, that Matthew Kopp had observed his Bar Mitzvah at the Harel synagogue in Jerusalem, would observe it again on Aug. 4 at a synagogue in Cordoba, Spain,

and complete the triple Bar Mitzvah rite at Temple B'nai Israel on Sept. 22. Rabbi Elliott Stevens, administ rat ive secretary of the Central Conference of American Rabbis, the Association of Ik-form rabbis, told the JTA that it was "an absolute certainty" that such a triple ceremony was unique. The Cordoba synagogue Kopp will enter is G69 years old. The thousands of Jews of Cordoba, birthplace "of Maimonides, were expelled during the Inquisition on orders of King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella that all Jews leave Spain in 1492.

now living in Spain are residents of Cordoba. The three-tiered Cordoba synagogue is now a national monument, located in the ancient Jewish quarter of Juderia. Kabbi Samuel Kehati, rabbi of Temple B'nai Israel, who is officiating at all three ceremonies and who made the arrangements for the Cordoba rite, said of the Cordoba Bar Mitzvah, "This will be history." Kehati said he was told by Spanish officials that Kopp's Bar Mitzvah rite would ba the first in the Cordoba synagogue since at least 1492.

Resolution The Board of Directors of the Jewish Press adopted the following resolution at its Aug. 6 special meeting at the Jewish Community Center: i

In light of the fact that: "Howard Kaslow, president of the Jewish Federation of Omaha, and the ADL/CRC committee have addressed responses with which we concur "And the public remarks of Senator Ernest Chambers were of such an inaccurate, irresponsible and irrational nature to the extent of destroying his credibility as an elected official "Therefore, be it resolved: "The Jewish Press Board of Directors with the courage of its convictions, has determined that such inflammatory remarks should not.be dignified with further response at this time."

Boris Shwortsman left Kiev in the Soviet Union more than four years ago to take up a new life in Omaha. He arrived with his wife and daughter and some 35 years of experience as a commercial artist. He and his family made a rapid adjustment. Mr. Shwartsman started to work as an artist and the future looked bright. Then came a catastrophe. Mr. Shwartsman suffered a stroke which brought paralysis to his right side. His speech was affected • and the right arm that he used for drawing became useless for art purposes. . But, this is not the end of a story, only a beginning. Mr. Shwartsman has undergone therapy and with the assistance of his family and friends and a caring Jewish community, he is back on his feet making slow, but steady progress toward'regained health. In addition, he is sketching again — this time learning to draw with his left hand. The Jewish Press is proud to announce that Mr. Shwartsman's sketches of flowers will be published in the New Year's issue next month. We don't usually publish photos of flowers, but we are certain that you will agree that these are exceptional flowers drawn by an exceptional man.

HAIFA — Israel has only one TV channel, broadcasting about 7Vi hours a dsy, of which twoliours ere for children and 1V4 hours for local Arabic speaking residents. This does not include Instructional TV, which monopolizes the tingle channel during morning and afternoon for fi'/a hours. Little wonder that Israelis also tee!; out the telecasts of our neighbor.!;. Jordan, with two channels, even caters-to this intereat and airs a daily program of news in Hebrew, obviously not for its own citizenry, in addition to movies, packaged American shows, etc. Programs from Syria are less attractive. Occasionally bits of Egypt and Cyprus can be picked up, depending on location end climatic conditions. But tlxrbig attraction for Israelis, especially those in the northern and central parts of the country, is Middle-East Television (MET). It broadcasts exclusively in English for eleven hours a day and offers a varied fare of American western movies, news reports, comedy shows, children's programs, extensive sports coverage, weekly excerpts from America's "Sixty Minutes" — and a specialty of its' own, but of that more in a moment. MET is located in southern Lebanon, just three kilometers north of Metulla. It used to be very close to the Good Fence, but its portable trailer studio there was blown up by terrorists, and it began anew at its new site. It also has commercial relations with Jerusalem, and its spot nov/s. broadcasts cfiithe from otudio3 there. The station used to be popularly known as Major Hadad's^ station because of its location in the territory which his forces controlled. Unofficially it is under Israel's protection, and maintains an office in nearby Kiryat Shmona, but listeners ore advised to direct their correspondence to MET at Post Office Box 6639, Nicosia, Cyprus, perhaps to reduce the impression of it3 bsing an Israel "agent." Aeant it certainly is not, os will bo csen. Our LebartCE3 TV neighbor is affiliated with and apparently the local outlet for what is [[norm in the U.S. as ths Christian Broadcasting Network (CBN), a cable TV which seeks to opread ths message of Christianity and claims 20 million Bubscribara'in America. Israelis looSdng for a now variety of entertainment find rich pickings on MET. The news lino is strongly, unmistakably pro-Io'racl, but there is an obvious desire to avoid involven'ient in the. politics of the Middle East, and especially'the vortex of Lebanese rivalries. As stated, all programs are in English, usually accompanied by a running translation strip in Arabic. There is no Hebrew at all, which provides a basis for contention that they are talking to the Christians, and not to the Jews. The distinctive feature of MET is the evangelical element which permeates many of the programs, some subtly, and others in almost blatant revivalist fashion. The daily 700 Club is a half hour during which a variety of persons give testimony as to how they found the true faith. The several soap operas, suspenseful and interesting, have heavy religious undertones. When our hero engages in a dangerous

By M. J . Rosenberg Near East Report JERUSALEM — The 11th Knesset election remains unresolved — but it has already prompted calls for electoral reforms,before Israelis go to the polls again. Thirteen small . parties won Knesset seats and — with the exception of Meir Kahane's Kach and two pro-PLO parties — all remain potential kingmakers as the process of forming a new government wears on. One Israeli, former Foreign Ministry Director, Walter Eytan, contrasted Israel's system with its American counterpart. "In 1948," he wrote in the Jerusalem Post, "Harry Truman won just over 24 million votes against nearly 22 million for Thomas Dewey. But there were two other contenders, Strom Thurmond and Henry Wallace. . . . ."Under Israel's system, they would have been able to gang up with Dewey to form a coalition . . . dictating their conditions, of course." He also recalled 1968 when candidates Richard Nixon and Hubert Humphrey "ran neck and neck with over 31 million popular votes each, the former leading by just half a million. At the same time, George Wallace captured almost 10 million votes: "What could he not have done with these under Israel's system?" Eytan favors a "grand coalition" of Labor and Likud. That coalition would have.85 seats and would be immune to pressure from the various small parties.

mission, the beautiful girl rolls her eyes heavenward and murmurs: "Jesus must protect him." Tiie prayer always works. Even the physical fitness ezerciso program is not free from casual elides to the effect that we cen all lose weight by exercising — and having faith. A great attraction for the youngsters is the cartoon shtf»v, "Super Book", tales from the Oid and New Testament, dramatically enacted. Thus far there has been little or no reaction from Jewish religious circles in Israel who are either unaware of the station-or consider it unimportant. We thought all this would make an interesting story for our readers and we decided to interview the managers of MET. The reply to our request directed us to the International Publicity Department of CBN in Virginia; Undaunted, we wrote there and got the following reply: "Because of the sensitive nature of the situation in the southern part of Lebanon where the station is located we do not deem it wise at this time to project MET into the news spotlight. That does not prevent them from projecting their programs into the ether here and onto the Gcreens of Israel's viewers. Local Christians may derive inspiration from the telecasts. Israelis look upon them almost as a no-cost substitute for a trip abroad and exposure to a non-Jewish world which, after all, doea exist.

tions in the future. Kahane's election stunned Israelis of every political stripe. Labor and Likud leaders — including Menachem Begin in one of his rare public statements — condemned Kahane and his followers. Ministry of Interior Josef Burg, chairman of the National Religious Party, said that the police will take steps to insure that "that lunatic does not do as he pleases." Kahane's election, and its coverage in the foreign media, causes some Israelis to once again question the double standard that is applied to Israel. Israel is a democracy which means that racists like Kahane and proPLO personalities alike will occasionally be elected to the Knesset. Kahane's 21,000 votes, his rejection by 99 percent of the electorate, is not an indication of much of anything other than the fact that fanatics do sometimes attract followers even here. Kahane's election is no more significant than the 30 percent vote that a Lyndon LaRouche supporter received in a Baltimore congressional district in 1982 or the big vote pro-KKK candidates received for attorney general in South Carolina that same year. Nevertheless, the foreign press plays up Kahane as if he were a force to be ' reckoned with. In doing so, the press not only besmirches Israei but also gives Kahane the one' thing he craves — media attention. Without it, Kahane would be reduced to the insignificance he deserves.

Jewish poverty in America

. 5. i (" 5 By Barbara Sh^ois • > :. • Foundation ConutltCKt One of the goals of our Federation Foundation is to attract new, permanent gifts to the Foundation to benefit the agencies of the Federation, now and in the future. What kinds of gifts would the Foundation like to receive? A donor may give almost anything of value: cash, insurance policies and many kinds of deferred gifts euch as bequests — through your will — or various trusts and annuities — either during your lifetime or by will. Today's article in this . on-going series looks et gifts and redemption of closely held stock. Entrepreneurs and their tax advisors are generally aware of the numerous tax benefits which may derive from owning one's own business. However, there is an additional tax advantage not often contemplated but which is becoming used more and more as businessmen and their tax advisors become more sophisticated. That "sleeper" tax advantage is the donation of a highly appreciated stock in a closely held corporation to a public charity followed by a redemption of those securities by the corporation. As long as the charity is not legally bound or cannot be compelled to sell the stock back to the corporation, the IRS will not attack the transaction by treating the donor as receiving a dividend. This type of tax planning works advantageously, in varying situations. For example, it works when the donor owns 100 percent of the stock (although it can obviously be used in less than 100 percent situations) since a contribution and subsequent repurchase of the securities by the corporation will result in the donorstockholder continuing to own 100 percent of the stock. In addition, a contribution and subsequent redemption has the following further advantages: (1) the donor obtains a charitable deduction for the value of the appreciated stock at the time of the donation but, (2) does not recognize any gain on that increased value either at the time of the contribution or at the time of the redemptions. The later redemption of stock by the corporation permits the use of corporate funds and not the donor's personal funds for the gift to the charity.

followed by B..redemption by the corporation accomplishes a normcl estate planning goal of increasing the percentage ownership of the children.

If you've spent most of your life in Omaha, it will probably shock you to learn that according to the latest estimates of the Council of Jewish Federations 15 percent of American,Jewry, one million Je^vs, fall in the category of poor or near poor. Nationally 300,000 Jewish individuals are unemployed.'

Of course, lor any tax planning you should get the appropriate advice from a professional tax advisor. In addition, our Federation vice president or a member of our Foundation board can discuss with you the various charitable gifls available to you. The following example reflects the above discussion. Assume that Joseph Gold and his children own 80 percent and 20 percent of ABC Corporation respectively in 1984. Mr. Gold's ownership of ABC is represented by BOO shares worth $2,000,000 and his children have 200 shares worth $500,000. Mr. Gold's basis is zero. He decides to contribute 100 shares worth $250,000 to a public charity. The effect is as follows: 1. Mr. Gold does not pay any capital gains tax on the appreciated value of the securities he contributed. That tax would have amounted to $50,000 if he had sold the securities (assuming a 50 percent tax bracket taxpayer). 2. Mr. Gold saves $125,000 in income taxes in 1984 (assuming a 50 percent tax bracket) and accordingly has $125,000 in increased available cash which he otherwise would not have had without the gift. 3. His net cost is only $75,000 ($250,000 value of stock, less $50,000 savings in the tax on the capital gain and $125,000 savings in income tax). 4. After redemption, 900 shares of ABC Corporation are outstanding all owned by Mr. Gold and his children. However, Mr. Gold's ownership has been reduced by 78 percent while his children own 22 percent. Obviously, continued donations of this type will continue to reduce the parent's ownership percentage.

Where the stock is owned by both parents and children, the gift by the parents of some of their stock to charity

Your tax advisor and our Foundation Board of Trustees can act as a team to help you plan this kind of unique gift. With plans such as these — and there are many others — you will benefit yourself, your family, and your Jewish community.

By Julius Berman Editor's Note: On July 1 Julius Berman stepped down as chairman of the Conference of Presidents of Major American J e w i s h Organisations after completing t w o one-year terms. In this article he nums up his v i e w of the consensus that American J e w r y h a s developed in its attitude to Israel. Today as in the past the news media are only too eager to size on any expression of difference voiced by American Jews vis-a-vis Israel government policies. This is variously, called a "split," a "rift" or "erosion" of Jewish support for Israel. Indeed, it is a well-known secret that the fastest way to get your Op-Ed article published in a daily newspaper or weekly news magazine is to criticise Israel or call for American pressure aimed at changing Israeli policies. There are of course differences between the orgaI' nized Jewish community and Israel. But the essence Julius Berman of the American Jewish relationship with Israel, as I have found it to be in my travels, is one of pride, respept, admiration, support — and love. I have also found that there is a broad consensus in the views American Jews hold about Israel and U.S.-Israel relations. Let me try to spell out this consensus: First, we regard the central and overriding impediment

to peace in the Middle East as the Arab world's continued rejection of the existence of Israel, the Arab denial of the legitimate and rightful place of Israel in the family of nations, and the Arab refusal to recognize and negotiate openly and directly with the Jewish state. We are dismayed' that the Arab world, with the sole exception of Egypt, continues to adhere to a policy of rejection and intransigence. We welcome Washington's friendship for Israel and concern for its security, a recognition of the American people's high regard for Israel as a strategic ally that shares with our country the values of democracy and freedom. But we also know that Israel cannot and must not rely on any outside power, no matter how friendly, to repel attack, and that Israel must therefore be strong enough — economically and politically as well as militarily — to defend itself. We reaffirm our conviction that the government of Israel has the right — indeed, the duty — to protect its people from the terror and hostility that threaten them. And we believe that the arrangements for achieving that security must be decided only by the people of Israel, as represented by their democratically-elected government, through direct negotiations with their Arab neighbors. Although there are differences of opinion among us with respect to settlement policies in the West Bank, the overwhelming majority of American Jews' reject the idea that Israeli communities in Judea and Samaria are illegal. We oppose the establishment of a Palestinian state as a peril to Israel's survival. Whatever arrangements are finally made by Israel and its neighbors regarding the West Bank and Gaza, any possibility of establishing a Palestinian state must be foreclosed. There can be no going back to the pre-1967 Arab-Israel border, because of the danger to Israel's survival that such

parts" because of heavy U.S. pressure on its allies to stop all arms shipments to Iran. Iraq, on the other hand, "is awash with advanced European and Soviet arms" and has been permitted to purchase transport aircraft and trucks from the U.S.

An even-handed policy of strict neutrality does not mean the United States should embark on a policy of "wooing" Iran, says the 12-page analysis. Nor would it be desirable for the United States to do anything that might lead to an Iranian victory.

The study notes that another key element in the Reagan ••• Administration's pro-Iraqi tilt has been its close military cooperation with Iraqi-allied Saudi Arabia against Iran, including the shipment last spring without Congressional approval of 400 stinger anti-aircraft missies to Saudi Arabia.

"A careful calibration of U.S. policy is called for," the report goes on. "Well short of a drastic policy reversal, the Administration could do much to improve its position visa-vis Iran, keeping in mind that the mullahs' regime will not long endure beyond Khomeini."

The report'points out that, ironically, the Soviet Union has matched the U.S. tilt with its own tilt towards Iraq, with the ultimate objective of getting access to the Persian Gulf, "both as a potential spurce of cheap oil for the Soviet bloc whose own oil reserves "have been gradually dwindling, and as providing a stranglehold over the West's principal source of oil." An Iran that eventually returns to the proWestern camp would be the, most effective buffer against

The report recalls that for more than a year after Iraq's initial attack, on Iran, the U.S. did maintain a policy of strict neutrality. The policy shift took place only when the military stalemate persisted and the Administration began to fear an eventual Iranian victory. Since, however, a clearcut Iranian military victory no longer seems feasible, this fear need not guide U.S. policies in the region, says the study.

By Allan Greene Executive vice president, Jewish Federation of Omaha Working age women, many heads of single parent families are the most vulnerable to being unemployed. We are also experiencing high levels of young Jewish professionals with families without jobs for the first time. In one large Northeast city 64 percent of those seeking assistance through Jewish vocational services are aged 39-45 with advanced degrees. One Midwestern city reports 30 percent increase between 1982-83 of Jews on public assistance and estimates it will expend $150,000 to clothe and feed needy Jews in their community. Nearly 20 percent of American Jews are 65 or older. It is estimated that 50 percent of this group live at or below poverty levels. Many live in inner city ghettos lacking the, resources to move out. Across the country, including Omaha, we have developed an array of services including housing, meals on wheels, transportation to doctors, shopping, etc., recreational service, health services, visiting nurses, friendly visiting and telephone reassurance and housekeepipg services. Nearly 15 percent of American Jewish children under 18 years of age live in one parent households. Nearly 60 percent of mothers with children under 6 now work which means 50,000 Jewish children need day care services though only 20 percent of these children utilize services under Jewish auspices. The future prosperity of the American Jewish community, it seems to me, depends upon our ability to do all we can to uplift the economic circumstances of our people who may find themselves temporarily deprived. We need to support job programs and social programs to support out fellow Jews in need throughout the country, both by government and philanthropic institutions.

a return would pose, and no role for or participation by the PLO in any consultation or negotiation. By its charter, which calls for the destruction of Israel, and by its tactics, which call for an unremitting war of terrorism against the people of Israel, the PLO has disqualified itself from the peace process. We remain committed to a united Jerusalem as the capital of the Sate of Israel. And we support the Camp David process as the only proven basis for achieving a comprehensive, just and durable Middle East peace. Finally, we are proud that Israel remains a vigorous island of democracy in a sea of repression. We admire the high moral and ethical standards and respect for human life and liberty that the State of Israel and its armed forces have demonstrated in war and peace. I believe these sentiments represent the views of the organized Jewish community in America, and of the great majority of American Jews who are not affiliated with the • community. There is a diversity of views within the American Jewish community with respect to the details of Israel's policies; our community takes pride in the democracy that characterizes U.S. Jewish life. But that diversity has not detracted from the commitment of the Jews of the United States to the principles listed above, for they constitute the minimal conditions that would enable the State of Israel to live in security, in dignity and in peace — the ultimate goal we share with our brothers and sisters in Israel.

"The visit demonstrates the grassroots desire of young Arabs and Jews for peace," a Hadassah spokesman said. '

y> Harold Stein I have mixed emotions. If it is a religious group and it's outside of school hours, that's fine.

Harding Collis It's bad for the school system because it increases the maintenance and security costs and because the schools won't be able to control their calendars. If groups have complete access, the schools will never be able to control less desirable groups from entering their buildings.

David Volsky If it doesn't include indoctrinating children, I don't think it's a problem.

Marty Tichauer I guess to be democratic about it you have to say yes to everyone, but there are a lot of "negative groups" that you wouldn't want using the school building as a vehicle for their anti-social activities.

Suzy Sheldon I think it will provide an impetus for these groups to go wild. We could see the Ku KIux Klan and Jews for Jesus meeting in our t,chooL. If the "wrong groups" are allowed during nonschool hours their influence will be felt somehow during school hours int he building.

Nancy Skid America gives us the right to expose our children to the environment we choose. But this bill would expose them to groups not of my choice. The public schools shouldn't be their forum.

Class of: the 80s By Nancy Pearlman A lunch and munch picnic on July 18 was enjoyed by several residents at Elmwood Park. Two vans were loaded up and Helen Shukert, Mark Stein, Duke Dloogoff, Sharon and Karin all helped with the fixin's.

By Paul Roffman SOCIAL SCENE PART II In last weeks' article, you read facts, so I decided to contact a few members of the various organizations to find out what they liked best about their particular group. The first person I questioned was Jeff Slutsky, who will be a junior at Central High School next fall. Jeff is an active member in both OTYG (the youth group out of Temple Israel), and the BBYO organizations, AZA §1. Jeff stated that, "I like OTYG because all my friends are in it, and we get

a beautiful cake in their honor. Congratulations to both of you. There was another summer picnic on July 26 on the patio of the home. Thanks to Gene Brandt, Norman Roffman, Dave Bernstein and Mark Stein for grilling some very delicious hamburgers and hot dogs. Anna Kaufman, Millie Fogel, Vicki Fisher, Ida Pearlman, Marie Dloogoff and Rae Beeson combined their talents to make a superb salad, also fixing the cantaloup and grapes. The waitresses for the evening were Lori Stein, Phyllis Roffman and Sharon. The kids from the JCC camp visited and sang to the residents and the tea room wa3 filled to capacity. Also for extra entertainment, the residents have been enjoying weekly travelogs, the most recent was a trip to Spain and Israel.

who will be a junior at Burke High School this fall said that, "J enjoy both, Ediar BBG and OTYG because I get to know more Jewish people and understand more about Judaism." When I talked to Richard Katskee, who is an active member in both USY and, AZA 100, he was pressed for time, but told me that "The groups give me a chance to be around and socializing with other Jewish people." On the whole, all the people I talked to gave me relatively the same response. They all liked the organizations, and they like them because, by belonging to them they are made more aware of Jewish happenings, and get a chance to become closer to their Jewish friends. I strongly recommend the participation in these organizations, not only by what these people have said, but also from personal experience.

Tivo new faculty members, Robin Ibsen and Dalienne Majors will be instructing a variety of jazz, tap, and modarn classes. Robin Ibsen, an Omaha dance professional who has taught for the Omaha Ballet and choreographed for the Midtown Upstairs Dinner Theater and the Norton Theater, will be instructing jazz and tap classes for beginning through advanced levels Monday evenings.

two issues is questionfed).-. -. Haiti's questionable issue included a tab on each stamp in the set showing Israel's and other nations'' flags at half-mast memorializing the tragic murder of 11 Israeli athletes by the PLO. Another Bet issued by Haiti includes one of the victims, weightlifter David Berger on one stamp and the entire Israeli team marching into the stadium on another stamp. One of the most unusual incidents involving a philatelically-honored Olympic athlete occured in the 1936 games held in Nazi Germany. Despite pleas from American Jewish leaders, Helene Mayer returned to Germany from California where she taught German at UCLA to be on the German Olympic fencing team. Her father was Jewish but her mother was Protestant. She returned, it is said, so she could visit her ailing father. She shocked the world by giving the Nazi salute after she wore a silver medal. She appeared on a 1988 German stamp. Another Jewish Olympic athlete depicted on otamps is Italian bicyclist Pierfranco Vianelli who won the gold medal in the 198 kilo-, meter bicycle race in the 1968 Olympics. He appears on a stamp in a long set of Olympic winners issued by Chad in 1969. The events and gold medals won by a nation's athletes have been depicted on stamps by several countries. Several Jewish athletes, therefore, may be added to this list of Jewish Olympic athletes on stamps. In 1965 Hungary honored its 1964 Olympic medal winning athletes. These included its water polo team which won a gold medal and which included Gyorgy Karpati and Mihaly Mayer on the team and its gold medal soccer team which included Janos Farltas and Arpad Orban. Another stamp in that set honored the silver medal won by Mihaly Hesz in the 1,000 meter kayak race. Several medals won by Hun-

garian fencers Were also depicted, and thus Ildiko Ujlaki-Rejto's gold medal, for foil as well as her participation on the gold medal fencing team were noted as was Tamas Gabor's participation on the gold medal epee (fencing) team. In the 1968 Olympics Mihaly Hesz improved his record, winning a gold medal in the 1,000 meter kayak race, and Ildiko UjlakiRejto participated again on a medal winning fencing team (a silver in foil). These are pictured on a 1969 set. ' In the 1972 Olympics Andrea Gyarmati won a silver medal in the 100 meter backstroke and a bronze in the 100 meter butterfly. She appears on a 1972 stamp. Finally, a December 1976 Olympics set depicted Anna Pfeffer, half of the 500 meter kayak pair that won a • f silver medal, and the bronze medal winning foil team which again included Ildiko Ujlaki-Rejto. Romania similarly honored its Olympic medal winners at the I960 Olympics, and thus Leon Rotman's bronze in the 1,000 meter ' Canadian canoe singles race : was honored. A set for its } 1976 Olympic medalists in- , eluded Victor Zilberman's '•:.' bronze medal in the welter- " •weight boning event. "': The Jewish athletes mentioned here are just a few of the 130 of the Jews who won 210 Olympic medals before the 1984 games. -

The bodies, believed to be mostly of Jews, were re-interred in a part of the city called Jewbury, the reputed site of one of the most important Jewish cemeteries of medieval England. The remains had been discovered during development of the land to make way for a supermarket. Until then, the site had not been recognized as a Jewish cemetery.

Oliver Cromwell authorized (he readmission of Jews to England. A century before the expulsion, York had also been the site of a notorious massacre of the city's Jewish community, many of whom preferred to take their own lives, rather than die at the hands of their Christian attackers.
