Moreover, the report went on, eztiemiRU are Gnding a "ready constituency" in prieoni in the form of violenceprone gongs — white, black and Hispanic. Among the more than 100 prison gangs cited by a Department of Justice" study last year are the Black Guerrilla Family, described as "both political and racial," and the Aryan Brotherhood which is "white supremacist." Eitremist groups have Urgeted these gangs for propaganda and recruitment purposes with varying degrees of success, the report said. For example, the Aryan Nations, an Idaho-based, far-right, anti-Semitic group, has had some success in linking up with the Aryan Brotherhood gang, which is reported to have members in federal and state prisons in Ariiona, Arkansas, California, Kentucky, Missouri, Ohio and Oklahoma. A powerful incentive for prison gang members to agree to outside affiliations, according to the ADL, is provided by "churches" created by some extremist groups to enable prisoner-roembere to claim privileges enjoyed by inmates who belong to religious denominations. The report cites a Chicago gang known as El-Rukn, which is one of the largest and most violent black crime sjmlicates in the country, as having sought recognition as a religious organization so it could hold "worship services" in Illinois prisons. Prison officials, refused, however, maintaining that El-Rukn's "Moorish Science Temple" is a front organization for the violent prison gang. A Federal District Court recently upheld the ruling declaring the Al-Rukn is a "street gang and a threat to institutional security," the ADL reported. Black Muslim leader Louis Farrakhan, according to the ADL report, has estoblished close working relations with the El:Rukn organization, some of whose members have been featured at his rallies. Farrakhan has predicted that urban street gangs will play a "very important role" in a future race war in the United States. . Some prisoners are members of the Aryan Nations' "Church of Jesus Christ Christian," which espouses a pseudo-theological system of beliefs in which "Aryans" are the "true Israel," Jews are the "seed of Satan" and colored peoples areSBub-human. The beliefs are the doctrine of the extremist movement known as "Identity." The ADL said that prison members of this "church" have demanded the right to receive Identity literature, conduct its "services" and receive visits from its "pastors." Correction Departn\ent authorities in several states have refused to accede to these demands, citing the possible danger of violence and disorder as a result of fostering racism in prisons, f An appendix to the ADL report summarized six court cases in Arkansas, Missouri, Idaho, Illinois and North Carolina in which inmate adherents of extremist groups claimed that their Firet Amendment rights of free speech and religious practice had been violated. The claims were overruled in four cases; there have been no final decisions , in the two other cases. On the far left, the ADL report said, a variety of groups are attempting to exert ideological influence upon, and to recruit, prisoners. They range from Marxist political parties to interrelated, pro-terrorist organizations that function partly as support networks for their own mfembers and for adherents who are incarcerated.

Undaunted, neaident Monge subsequently made a public statement affirming his nation's "free and sovereign determination to honor Jerusalem as the capital of Israel." As a fiirther example of Monge's deep feelings for Israel, when he addressed an' American Jewish group that had come to Costa Rica in 19S3 to demonstrate its appreciation for Costa Rica's position on Israel, he procluoMd: "I love, respect and admire the people of Israel and Jewidi eomnmnities thsaughout the world" He went on tb deacribe the shared goals of Costa Rica and Israel "aimed at preserving world peace and improving conditions for the hu-, num race."^ - Indeed, during Monge's term of ofRce, lelationa with Israefwere streagtliensd in the diplomatic, ecoaoniie, cultural, scientific and security sectors, lb bolatfr Coeta Rica's precarious financial condition which had run aground under Caraio, leading to the poatponemsnt of foreign driit paymeats in 1981 (Costa Rica has oits of the higher per cajpita TUnkinc «f a Ufa in froadom, Lcniagrad rafoaairik external (|abta in the world), laraal announesd hi 1982 that Dr. VlUlasir UfUdU (waartaf a Waatans Soviat it waa dapoaiting $7 million in Coata Ricaa banks nkhrould Jawryl^Urt), Ida wifa Aua. am Boria and dan^- seek t« forther stiengthen trade links.

The record speaks for itself The Sute Department has reported that ths Saudis voted against U.S. interest at the United Nationa 86.4 percent of the time in 19H, while laraal voted for American interests 91.6 percent of the time. (As a group, the 21-memher Arab League voted with the United States only 12.2 percent of the time.) Additionally, the Saudis continue to finance the PLO with hundreds of millions of dollars each year, as well as sending Syria about $260 million a year. (The Syriana are responsible for blowing up the Marine barracks in Lebanon, an act that killed hundreds of American servicemen, and are strongly implicated in the upsurge of terrorism worldwide.) FWther, the Saudif were instrumental in ostracising Egypt after the signing of the Camp Qavid Peace IVeaty, and continued to isolate Egypt for making peace with Israel. They also refused to participate in the peace proceaa and have been sn obstacle in Jordan King Huasein's pursuit of peace with Israel. Riyadh also supported Libya after the U.S. raida on that country. Rather than adkfaesaing these Iseuaa, The World-Herald ignored them and instead praised the administration's iKrflow argunwnts that selling the Saudis theae missiles would encourage them to work for "peace" in the Mideast." Nonsense! The same argument was used for selling the Saudia the AWACS, and in |he five years since they have only stonewalled the peace process. Members of Congress know this fact, and th^is why so maiiy in Congnas opposed this ssle. It was not bwause of the fear of Jewish voters at election time.
Costa Rica: a special country
I
Most recenUy, Costa Rica was the only country other than Israel to vote against all three resolutions critical of Israel submitted to the U.N. General Assembly in December 1886. Whereas some 20 other nations, including the U.S., Canada and much of Western Europe, opposed two of the resolutions, only Costa Rica and Israel voted against the resolution on Jerusalem, while the U.S. abstained. The new president has indicated he will follow the proIsrael stance of Monge, including the continued presence of the embassy in Jerusalem. He has also named several Jews to key undeiaecretary posts in his Cabinet, drawing on the smdil but well-integrated Jewish community of approximately 2,600 centered in San Jose. The community itself, largely composed of Ashkenazi immigrants and refogees from the inter-war years and their descendants, is ^well-organized through the Israel-Zionist Center of Costa Rica ((^ntro Israelite Sionista de Costa Rica) which maintains a social and cultural center, synagogue, and a day school (The Chaim Weizmann Institute) that runs from kindergarten through high school. 90% of the Jawiah youth attend the school. Intereatingly, President Monge, a Catholic, married a Jew in a civil ceremony years ago uid their daut^ter, raised a Jew, graduated from this school. The community has not been without its historical problems. During the 1930s and 1940s, Jews taced restrictions on immigration and aus|Meion of foreiinera. Efibrta to restrict business holdings to Costa Rican natives plagued the conununity, but since the early 1960s an atmosphere of full toleraitee, fostered by the leadership of then President Figuersa, \ias prevailed. Tndy, Coata Rica ia a vary special country. It is a baation of deioDcraey, daitadar of human righta, and genuine friend of Israel and ths Jawiah peopis. Oiitgoiiig President Monge deaerves our dsapast reqMct and affsction; his successor, Prsaidtnt Arlaa, who is expected to cany on the^wortby tradiUona of his predecessors, merits our full siqiport.

Fiddler songs were the big favorite as were many Israeli «ong8. Thanks so much to Tuffy for the entertainment. Helping serve ice cream and apple pie afterwards were Ann Schulman, Helen Shukert, Lee Jane Parsow, Shirley Kirshenbaum, Sheila Rosen and myself. Lee Jane made sure each man was sporting a carnation. Doris Koom and Sidney Spiegleman were out playing Pokeno with the folks recently and George Schapiro and Helen Shukert took 16 residents to the Frohm Pavillion for a picnic lunch June 4. Everyone there got in on the celebration of George's 74th birthday with a big cake and a rousing cho-. rus of "Happy Birthday."
