ADL issues special report on LaRouche The Anti-Defamation League ot B'nai B'rith declared it will not be muzzled by a complaint of election law violation filed against it by the LaRouche for President campaign organization — and at a news conference in Omaha (Wednesday, May 21), made public its new, comprehensive 54-page report on the political cult headed by Lyndon H. LaRouche, Jr. Yitzak Santis, ADL's Plains States Regional Director, called the LaRouche complaint to the Federal Election Commission "an attempt to intimidate the League and-prevent it from continuing to expose the extremist group's anti-Semitism," He said that the LaRouche charge of ADL "intervening into the electoral process" is "baseless." Mr. Santis said the new complaint is not the first time the LaRouche movement has tried to silence ADL. There have been several libel suits — all of which failed. In one case, the court ruled that ADL's characterization of the LaRouche organization as anti-Semitic constituted "fair comment." ' Emphasizing that ADL "will continue as vigorously as ever to monitor and expose anti-Semitism and extremism whenever and wherever they exist," Mr. Santis said that the special report — "The LaRouche Political Cult: Packaging Extremism" — is the League's third on the movement since 1979. The latest ADL study traces the cult from its left-wing origins as an ally of the Students for a Democratic Society' (SDS) during the 19608 to its current form of extremism which the League said "defies categorizing." The cult, according to the study, employs "a secret strategy of deception" which includes: hiding its extremism while espousing such lelgitimate causes as support for strong defense and opposition to the Soviet Union; engaging in "dirty tricks" against public officials and others; alleged "skulduggery" in garnering loans and contributions, and using "fronts" with deceptive names which have public appeal — such as the National Anti-Drug Coalition and th« National Democratic Policy Committee. '— <Among the topics the study covers are the LaRouche organization's attempt to capitalize on the farm crisis. The report reveals LaReuche's visit to the farm of Tommy Kerrey in central Georgia where he announced his agricultural program. Kerrey, who has expressed his admiration for'

LaRouche, gained national attention in November, 1965, when he and Larry Humphries, founder of the Oklahomabased anti-Semitic paramilitary group called the Heritage Library, led a group of armed followers to a central Georgia farm to forcefully stop an eviction. The Heritage Library held a gathering in Kearney, Nebraska, in January, 1986, that was attended by some 250-300 farmers. Other topics covered by the report include LoRouche's coiftact with the Liberty Lobby and other far-right groups; its source of funding and its campaign strategies, including the 1986 Illinois primary; the cult's controversial presence and activities in Leesbur^, Virginia, where it maintains its headquarters; and its various "tactics of intimidation" including threats and pretense telephone calls. The report has two appendixes. One, "The LaRauche Cult's Fantasy World — A Sampler," contains seven pages of direct quotes expressing its anti-Semitism and bizarre attitudes on a broad range of subjects, including the slur linking Queen Elizabeth with drug pushing. The other, "The LaRouche Network," lists and discribes 27 LaRouche front organizations and publishing entities. Among them are: — The National Democratic Policy Committee, its political arm. The title has caused confusion among ^Democrats who have sometimes been led to support the group because they thought it was a part of the Democratic Party. The NDPC claimed in 1984 that it had 30,000 members of. whom 2,600 were on the ballot in local, state, federal and party elections. — The National Anti-Drug Coalition, which, ADL said, "typically has little in the way of an actual, practical program to fight drug abuse" but "has merely promoted LaRouche's fantastic conspiracy theories and solicited support for the organization."

— The Fusion Energy Foundation, which ostensibly promotes new energy technologies while striving to lure scientists, engineers and public officials concerned with energy problems into the LaRouche fold. — The Washington, DC-based Executive Intelligence Review, an elaborately produced propaganda publication with articles directed toward the security concerns of business and law enforcement. According to the report, the LaRouche cult is "conspiracy-haunted" and beliaves in "a paranoid theory of history" in which, for example, a "degenerate oligarchy" is "in criminal cahoots with the Queen of England aiidlhe British Royal family," The calt charges that (inspirators range "from Aristotelians to Zionists" and include the International Monetary FVmdl, the Rothschilds, the Jesuits, the Federal Reserve, Henry Kissinger, William F. Buckley — and the ADL. The ADL study assarts that the LaRouche operation has been marked since 1978 by such manifestations of anti-. Semitism as: — Singling out prominent Jews, Jewish families and Jew, ish organizations for abuse; — Echoing the discredited 2,000 year-old decide charge against Je^ — Chaiging that prominent Jewish families were instrumental in bringing Hitler to power and that the Holocaust is a hoax; — Claiming that there is a "hard kernel of truth" in the notorious anti-Semitic forgery. The Protocols of the Elders of ZioB. Mr. Santis warned that "the LaRouche political cult, like all forms of extremism, poses a threat to democratic values and institutions only if the American people remain unaware of its true nature."

Grodinsky bequest By Larry Spears Foundation volunteer Murray H. Newman, chairinan of the Jewish Federation • of Omaha Foundation, has announced receipt of a cash bequest made to The Foundation from the estate of Omaha attorney William Grodinsky. Mr. Grodinsky, a long-time worker in the Jewish community and an avid supporter and volunteer to Boys Town, died in April 1986. A Foundation spokesman said, "Mr. Grodinsky was a man with numerous and varied interests in life. He was a dedicated supporter for many causes and was active in his leg^l practice right up to his death at age 90. The bequest, in the form of a cash gift for unrestricted uses, was presented to the Foundation last month. "Mr. Grodinsky was a deeply religious and devout individual who believed very strongly in the Jewish community. He was a member of the B'nai Jacob Adas Yeshuron Syn^ agogue and was instrumental in keeping that facility operational despite loss of membership and financial support. "His father. Rabbi Henry Grodzinsky (original spelling) was Omaha's first ordained orthodox rabbi, settling in this city in 1891."

Reform leaders demarKi equal rights in Israel

Alexander M. Schindler, president of the Union of American Hebrew Congregations is leading a mission of 36 members of the UAHC board of trustees that arrived in Israel this week [May 20] "to express our solidarity with the people of Israel, to measure the growth of the Reform movement in Israel and to demand equal rights for Reform rabbis and Reform Jews in the Jewish state." During their 10-day visit, the Reform Jewish leaders have met with Prime Minister Shimon Peres, Deputy Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir, Minister Without Portfolio Moshe Arens and Knesset Foreign A^airs and Security Committee Chairman Abba Eban. In addition, the UAHC trustees will be received by President Chaim Herzog and U.S. Aipbassador Thomas Pickering. They also will dedicate a Jewish National Fund forest named in honor of Rabbi Schindler and visit Reform-sponsored Jewish institutions in Israel, which comprise 17 congregations, two kibbutzim, a free enterprise settlement near Carmiel that will be dedicated during the visit, the Leo tt

Baeck school in Haifa and the $25 million World Education Center, site of the Jerusalem campus of the Hebrew Union College — Jewish Institute of Religion. The Union of American Hebrew Congregations, central body of Reform Judaism, is composed of 791 Reform synagogues in the United States and Canada with a membership of 1.3 million. It is the fastest growing Jewish congregational body in the U.S. Schindler Statement In a statement defining the mission's purpose. Rabbi Schindler declared: "We have come to Israel to demonstrate our sense of unity with our fellow-Jews at a time when too piany people are staying away. The Jewish community cannot permit Colonel Qaddafi to determine how many of us will visit Israel this year. "At the same time, we will focus on the progress made by the Reform movement in Israel, the current status of our educational and religious institutions here and the dis-

crimination practiced by the Orthodox rabbinate in Israel. "We are particularly distressed by the refiisal of the religious establishment to accept as immigrants under the Law of Return Jews who 1M^ been'Converted by non-Orthodox rabbis. This is a clear-cut violation of the law that cannot be permitted to go unchallenged." The UAHC leaders arrived in Israel immediately following the semi-annual meeting of the board of trustees in St. Louis, Mo., where they adopted a resolution: (1) Urging that the Chief Rabbinate and the Orthodox rabbinate courts of Israel be stripped of all coercive power and official standing. (2) Calling on the Orthodox rabbinate in Israel, to lift all i«strictions against the right of Reform rabbis to officiate at life-cycle functions, including weddings and funerals. (3) Demanding that non-Orthodox synagogues in Israel receive government funding and support commensurate with that accorded to Orthodox congregations.

Rabin sees F-21 Kfirs By Wolf Blitzer OCEANA, VIRGINIA - Defense Minister Yitzhak Rabin has been told by U.S. naval pilots that the lessons learned from Israel's earlier combat experience against Soviet-made equipment had significantly helped the U.S. last month during its own air strikes against Libya. "We learned a lot from the performance of the Israeli pilots," Rear Admiral Jerry Riedneau told Rabin on May 5 during a tour of the U.S. Air Naval Station here. "We had many of the same problems that you had over there." Riedneau, the Oceana base commander, introduced four U.S. pilots who had'participated in the U.S.-Libyan confrontation over the Gulf of Sidra and the subsequent bombing of Libya.: Aided by video-taped film of the actual operations, the pilots gave the visiting Defense Minister a first-hand account of the incidents. When film was shown of a Libyan MiG-23 approaching

Birthday, first dass Benjamin Louis Delman, a honorary life member of the Young Energetic Senior organization sponsored by the Bureau for the Aging, celebrates his first birthday with his very own whipped cream cake and an ice cream addition served by his great grandfather Louis Langer. Benjamin is the son of Marc and Mitzi Delman and the grandson of Mollie Delman, the Bureau's older adult worker,

some of the U.S. F-14's over the Gulf of Sidra, Riedneau said: "1 know that for the Israeli fighter pilots in this room, this is not an unusual sight." Rabin, accompanied by senior aides, was flown from the Pentagon'by a U.S. Marine Corps helicopter to the Oceana base to see the squadron of Israeli-made Kfir jet fighters leased to the U.S. Navy last year. The 12 Kfirs, now designated the F-21 by the U.S. Navy, are used to simulate Soviet-made MiG-21 and MiG-23 fighters in training eiercises. , Rabiii was told by Riedneau that the Kfir program has been "very successful." The rear admiral predicted that the 12 Kfirs will remain in the service of the U.S. Navy as long as they can fly. "My gut feeling is that they will never see the skies of Israel again," Riedneau said. The Defense Minister, who toured the naval facility and observed the Kfirs in action during a precision fly-past, said: "Normally, we're used to using American-made equipment in Israel. It's nice for a change to see Israeli-made equipment used in the United States." Rabin's visit to this base dramatically underscored the unusually close state of American-Israeli military ties. In briefing the Defense Minister on the incidents in Libya, for example, the American officers were extremely candid. Rabin, for his part, contrasted Libya's capabilities with those of Syria. He noted that S^ria has a much more sophisticated electronic warfare capability. Libya was only now beginning to absorb this kind of equipment, he said. U.S. and braeli officials said that most of the technical data of the confrontations had already been passed to Israel through normal military channels. Israel, over the years, has always provided the U.S. with similar details of its own military actions against Soviet-made equipment. Rabin had come t* the U.S. to sign an agreement with Defense Secretary Caspar Weinberger on U.S.-Israel cooperation in the research and development of the Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI), known as the Star Ware program. The Defense Minister also met with Vice President George Bush, Secretary of the Navy John Lehman and other U.S. officials. But much of Monday, May 5, was devoted to a tour of the huge air naval station near Norfolk, Virginia. The Defense Minister chatted with some of the 14 experienced American pilots trained in Israel to fly the Kfirs. He also met briefly with some of the Israeli Aircraft Industry personnel brought to Oceana to maintain the Kfir squadron. There are 20 Israeli and 65 American mechanics JTB

involved in the program. The Kfirs have just won a safety .award from the U.S. Chief of Naval Operations for their performance during their first year in service in the United States. U.S. Navy Commander Peter Burgren, the Kfir squadron leader, said that the Kfirs had a 95 percent "mission readiness" capability this year as compared to the 87 percent level achieved by the U.S.-made F-5 fighters, also used in the same training program. U.S. and Israeli officials are close to reaching final agreement on the transfer of a second squadron of 13 Kfirs to be based in Yuma, Arizona, for a similar adversary training program. The President of Israel Aircraft Industries, Moshe Keret, who joined Rabin for the tour, was clearly pleased by the first $80 million Kfir lease arrangement. He said that the second deal was very close to completion. Commander Burgren said that Kfirs this past year flew a total of 3,060 combat hours. He predicted that they will fly 4,500 hours during their second year in U.S. service. While the Americans had many nice things to say about the Israeli-made lanes, they were also quite frank in discussing some of the negative aspects of the Kfirs. Burgren, for instance, noted that the Kfirs did not pose enough of a challenge to a good pilot flying a top of the line F-14 fighter The U.S. Navy hopes to bring some faster and more sophisticated F-16's into the training program to help meet this challenge. Burgren also noted that the Kfir uses more gasoline than the F-5'8 in the program. But both Burgren and Riedneau agreed that those setbacks were more than made up by the other positive aspects of the'Kfirs. They also pointed out that the U.S. Navy hopes to bring over to the Oceana base an Israeli Kfir pilot in the coming months to help the Americans "fine-tune" the training program. There were two U.S. Marine Corps helicopters that flew the approximately 18 people in the Rabin party to Oceana. Rabin's helicopter, a CH-53, made the trip without a hitch. But the second helicopter, A C-46, carrying the Israeli Embassy air and naval attaches, other U.S. and Israeli officials, and four journalists, was forced to make an emergency landing in a corn field about 30 minutes after takeoff because of a hydraulic fuel leak. No one was injured. An empty backup CH-53 helicopter, which had followed the first two in case of such an emergency, was on the scene within five minutes to fly the group to Oceana onschedule.

Arms for Saudis? President Reagan is now in the process of trying to muster support for his proposed sales of arms to Saudi Arabia. He needs to do this because Congress already has voted (overwhelmingly) to reject such a sale. Thus, he finds it necessary to go before the American people and state his case. If the public backs him, he then can proceed with the assurance that his veto of the Congressional resolution will be upheld.

What bothers me at this point is that the President has singled out major Jewish organizations as his major platform. He wants the American Jewish community to give its o.k. to the sale of arms to Saudi Arabia. This approach seems to mark the Saudi arms deal as primarily a Jewish issue. This is not the case at all. The denial of arras to Saudi Arabia, is not a religious issue, it's an American issue. Recently, the Omaha Worid-Herald'quoted Senator Edward Zorinsky on this issue. The Senator reportedly said that he had met with Israel's defense minister before the vote and had been assured that additional arms to Saudi Arabia was not a military threat to Israel. , Israel's Prime Minister Shimon Peres more or less confirmed this on television Sunday when he said that Israel is not lobbying against the sale. He made two other interesting points: He said Israel does not tell the American Jewish community what to do, and also that Israel has a long.standing policy of being against the sale of arms to any country which exists in a state of war with Israel. So we know that Israel is against the sale of arms to Saudi Arabia on the one hand, but is not taking an'aggre.ssive stance against it on the other. It seems to me that Americans would have a great, deal of difficulty in proposing an arms sale to Saudi Arabia if the Saudis were in a state of war with any of our NATO allies. Would we be selling advanced aircraft and Stinger missiles if the Saudis, for example, wantftd to eliminate Great Britain from the face of the earth?

As I write this, it's the first week of May and, as is our custom, room-mate and I are preparing for our annual trek eastward. It's time to go see the kids and to find out if New York is still there where we left it. Time to find out if our favorite deli is waiting to serve my favorite lunch ... if my favorite shopping area is ready and waiting for me ... if the price of Broadway show tickets has escalated even higher than the last time. You know - vacation! Thistimel find it harder to get ready to go than it usually is. For one thing, I'm busier, and for another thing, it just takes me longer these days. "The later holidays which a leap year brings seem to gum up the works a little. At least that's my excuse this time. So, what does one do to get ready? Since we've just left winter behind it's time to haul out (he spring clothes and see what still looks good and what needs replacing. And if, God forbid, something from last year is too tight,, then it's trauma time. It also means a shopping trip. Now we're getting into the part I don't like too well. I LOVE shopping when I'm out of town. It's always fun to roam around different stores and check out what they have to offer. But at home, when it's a MUST, then it not only isn't fun - it's a chore. But if it must be done, then let's do it (I tell myself), and off I go. Now comes the hard part. First ofall, what I think I want is never available. Because 1 can see it in my mind's eye doesn't mean it's waiting for me to just come and get it. No, only in the movies does that happen. Or, if I get very lucky and I DO find it, it's not in my size. Or it IS in my size but it must be altered. Why? BecaVse some idiot someplace thinks a woman with my proportions is 6 feet 3 inches tall. Wrong by a foot! It so happens I've just spent quite a bit of time in the stores and various departments of each. One thing I learned I could count on positively was this: everybody has come to the conclusion we can't shop unless music is phtying. Now I can understand when I'm in the junior department (looking for something for my grandkids of course!),.. they usually cater to the youngsters who enjoy that rauckus shrying they call music. Me, I'd prefer a little quiet please. It's hard enough to decide between the royal blue and the shocking pink without the distraction pf that sound. And it's everywhere - even the adult departments! I can't understand who thinks we need it. Well, I lived through it. I found the few items I needed and now I can pack. I can hardly wait to get to New York and hit those famous stores. I want to see if THEY believe in those sound effects. Tell you what. I'll bring you up to date when I get home!

Studies have shown that children who have a family history of heart disease, who weigh too much and who exercise too little may risk the development of heart disease later in life, according to pediatrician Dr. Philip ItJ(in. A special summer program designed for these "children-at-risk" youngsters will be held at the Jewish Community Center on Tuesday and Thursday mornings from 10:30 a.m. to noon beginning June 17., through Aug. 7. The program is co-sponsored by the Omaha Children's Clinic. "Parents should look at their children. If they are obese, lack motivation, have

poor large muscle development, and don't want to do anything other than sit in front of the television, then I think they are good candidates for this type of program regardless of a family's heart history" said Dr. Itkin. The course will introduce youngsters and their families to a healthier - and enjoyable - lifestyle - improve their self confidence and self-image, said Chuck Arnold, physical education director. The program is for both boys and girls, ages 9 through 14. All participants must have permission from th<ir parents and their doctors. The cost is $75 for JCC

The ADL haa been aalced many tioiea about, the LaRouche organization's anti-Semitigm. "What did he tay'> What did he do?" Well, here is a small sampling of the words and deeds of LaRouche and his followers which bpought them our undivided attention. The LaRouche newspaper New Solidarity is an.important vehicle for the propagation of the LaRouchian philosophy. The December 8, 1978 issues contained the following items: "It was the Jewish Sadducees who crucifled Christ and the same faction in Rome who prompted the Emperor Nero to launch the centuries-long 'holocaust' against the Christians." And "The fallacy of the 'Protocols of Zion' is that it misattributes the alleged conspiracy to Jews generally, to Judaism. A corrected version of the 'Protocols' would stipulate that the evil paths cited were actually the practices of... B'nai B'rith ..." And "The contemptable but impassioned sophistry which the Zionist demagogue offers to all foolish enough to be impressed with such hoaxes is the 'holocaust' thesis ... Adolf Hitler was put into power largely on the initiative of the Rothschilds, Warburgs and Oppenheimers ..." More recently in the March 10, 1986 N»w Solidarity the following was written: "The grain trading families of Odessa, Salonika and Aleppo (Syria) were the principals in the Jewish component of a financial network centered in Venice, known as the Trust. Their instruments... were deployed in a Trust project known as the Bolshevik Revolution in Russia." As for the deeds of Lyndon LaRouche during his last campaign for President, LaRouche traveled to the farm of Tommy Kersey in central Georgia where he announced his agricultural program. Kersey, who has expressed his admiration for LaRouche, gained national attention in November, 1985 when he and Larry Humphries, founder of an Oklahoma anti-Semitic paramilitary organization called the Heritage Library, led a group of followers to a central Georgia farm to forcefully stop an eviction. The Heritage Library was the organization which came to Kearney, Ner braska in January and held a rally of some 260-300 fartn'ers. At that rally Heritage Library leader Humphries said the following, "Most of the international bankers involved in the conspiracy (against farmers) are Jews." Of course, LaRouche saves his special ire for the ADL. In the New Solidarity February 14, 1982 edition the following was written: "The ADL is only a group of self-hating anti-Semites with Jewish names, eager to do any dirty deed that their controllers, the Morgans, Rockefellers, and others of the 'Anglo-Episcopalian elite demand." •Nuf said?

Norm Wholner, reported only one of us is hospitalized, Manny Simon, and that Sam Kaplan is home, recuping from sick bay. Guest speaker was Arnold Stern (no relation to yours truly) who is a graduate of Creighton Law School, and is a partner in the law firm of Stern, Swanson, and Stickman. Arnold gave us a rundown on Variety Club of America. We didn't know the extent of their contributions till Arnold told us. He gave us a very humorous monologue, and a very informative review on the functions of the Variety Club, and its origins. It originated in PitUburgh in 1927, and is now, world wide. It is a fundraising group that does wonders with handicapped children.

Cantonal Concert set for June 8 at Beth B The Omaha Jewish community will once again have a Cantorial Concert, which is scheduled for June 8, 7:30 p.m. at Beth El Synagogue. "Simchat Shabbat", a Chassidic evening service will be performed by Beth El Synago'gue Cantor Emil Eierkovits, with adult and youth choirs and orchestra accompaniment. The musical work was written by Cantor Sol Zim in 1984, as a special com-

mission for the Holy Blossom Temple in Toronto, Canada. The service has been performed only twice in the past, and according to Cantor Berkovits, "It is a highly unusual piece to be performed in this area. This particulai' work emphasizes the melody, rather than the words, to convey the mood and feeling, however, words are used." A reception will follow the performance. General admission ticket

prices are $6 for adults, $4 for students. Patron tickets are also on sale: Patron $100 (8 tickeU), Benefactor $50 (4 tickeU), Sponsor $25 (2 tickets). To purchase tickets, mail check to Cantorial Concert, c/o Sharon Epstein, 12812 Lafayette Ave., or call 4960906 for information. Proceeds from the concert will be used to support Beth El scholarships to various Jewish camping experiences to synagogue youths.
