Peter Hoagland to run on experience; issues By Robert Wolfson Executive Director ADL<;RC
Jordan's move If the Middle East can be likened to a chess game, then Jordan's king has secured his kingdom while checking the opposing player- in this case, the PLO. King Hussein has withdrawn his financial support for the West Bank and has suggested that the PLO form a government in exile and take over the administration of the area. In a chess game, this is called CHECKMATE. It means that the PLO really no longer has a valid move to make. Now, it is up to the PLO to demonstrate that an organisation of fanatical murderers can assume the role of peaceful administrators. If they can, there could be hope. The United States and Israel would welcome a transformed PLO. Such a transformation must include the following: A change in the PLO covenant to eliminate violence, iicoeptance of the State of Israel, compliance with United Nations resolutions, and renouncing terrorism. Unfortunately, there is little reason to expect these changes. The PLO already has demonstrated how they would behave in their own state. Look no further than Lebanon. What seems to be happening is that Jordan has checkmated the PLO and now waits for a new game with the Palestinians.

A swaatika—the embodiment of the evil and horror of the Holocaust—on a poster in Omaha, Nebraska? No one symbol invokes such emotions in our community. A phone call. What is a swastika doing on a poster for Opera/Omaha's 30th anniversary season. "White Rose" is the name of an opera having its English and North American premier at Witherspoon HallonSept. 14.17and24. This is a great accomplishment for the local opera community. "White Rose" was also a World War II resistance movement'by a handful of politically inexperienced youth in their 20*8. In 1942 members of this organization distributed leaflets and conducted a campaign at the University of Munich, calling for the overthrow of Hitler and the Nazi regime. They offered this resistance knowing full nrell their efforts would cost them their lives. The "White Rose" movement inspired East German composer, Udo Zimmermann, to write a one-act opera depicting a brother and sister, Hans and Sophie Scholia, who were key members of "White Rose." The opera depicts the Scholls awaiting their fate one hour before their execution. They demonstrate that it is possible to affirm life
even in the face of unspeakable horror. The message grabs at the heart and soul of us all, asking deeply probing questions through music, lyrics and images, Opera/Omaha used the image of the swastikh, partially hidden by a growing white rose, as a representative symbol of the movement. Their intention was appropriate despite the pain of a swastika displayed in public. It is hoped that this event will challenge us all to never lorget, and to praise thoee in the family of man who have risen to face evil in spite of personal consequence.
To rebuild Arab homes HOUSTON (JTA) - An American-Isrikeli fund has been set up to finance the rebuilding of Arab-owned homes in the West Bank village of Beita, site of an April clash between Arab villagers and Jewish settlers that left 16-year-old settler Tirza Porat dead. The Israeli army blew up 14 of the village's houses, although an army report found Porat died from a bullet fired by a fellow settler and not from Arab stoning, as was initially reported
"I like to think I look at issues fresh..." Peter Hoagland told Wednesday's luncheon gathering of B'nai B'rith Breadbreakers. Mr. Hoagland, Democratic candidate for Nebraska's Second Congressional District, said his campaign is emphasizing his eight years of experience as a Nebraska State Senator and his record there. Four main issues are central to his campaign, Mr. Hoagland pointed out: balancing the Federal budget; renewing Federal support for education; creating jobs and economic development; improving drug education, treatment and law enforcement. Among his accomplishments as a State Senator, Mr. Hoagland pointed out that he introduced legislation that called for stiffer penalties on perpetrators of synagogue vandalism. He said he also co-sponsored a strong dnmk driving bill, led the fi^t on two drug bills (to. make 'lookalike' pills illegal and to dtaniiel half the proceeds from 'drug bust profits' into drug law enforcement), and introduced legislation that makes it a felony to operate paramiUtaiy training can^M in Nebraska to train people for civil disobedience. While he did not dwell on issues pertaining to Israel, Mr. Hoagland said that he would "give Israel as much support as I could in my position as a CongresamSn— more when I see it needed" Mr. Hoai^and also noted that fund-raising is a major
concern for his campaign and that he has, to date, received financial support from three pro-Israel PACs. On any issue, Mr. Hoagland pointed out, he "will come down on the side of the middle class and working man. Things get done in Washington when there is a 'general consensus'—getting conaensus is the problem. Anyone can balance the budget by putting his own priorities into effect." Other issues touched on by Mr. Hoagland in response to questions were his opposition to the NRA amendment and his support of a seven-day waiting period for the purchase of a hand-gun, support of the 60day notice plant-doeing bill, support of revenue increases on consumer items such as cigarettes and alcohol rather than increasing personal income tax.
Peres plan ByGilSedu JERUSALEM (JTA) Foreign Minister Shimon Peres said that if he were to lead the next government, he would support the Jordan River as Israel's eastern security bwder. Talking to group of visiting American journalists, Peres was not specific in deecribing a pcditical bcrdo', But he did 8«y that any evacuated territory would be dtnilitsrixed, and that the security border would include early waraiBg statioos set up along the Jordan River to prevent a surprise attack against Israel

Bert Lewis A while back I devoted this ctdumn to the silly names sometimes found among baseball, football, baakeUwll and players of various spmts. You know, like "Refrigerator" or "Gooee" ot the ever p(^>ular "Bubba." Now scnnething has called my attention to some other strange names to be found on the sports pages of the newspaper names of racehoisea. That's reaify asubject to get into-and that's what I plan to da Let me iUuatrate my idea of "strange names." I don't find a quarrel with owners using human names, such as "Cool Nancy" or "Aunt Jessie" or "Opal Marie." Maybe thqr sound a little odd to the eara of peofrie who don't follow the races, but thoee names are fairly ordinary. What I find fascinating are such names as "Who Doctor Who"—how's that for different? Or perhaps "Kat's Iiiah Lass,'' "Rock Me Home," "Ed's Lil Hooey," or maybe "Where's PunUe" or "Bla^^en Shane" or "Heavenly Motion." I don't know about you, whether or not you go to the track or play the horses or care about the whole business. By me these are weird names. Of course, it's true I've only been to thelocal track once or twice in my entire life; if they depended on my enthusiasm for horse racing they would have dosed up a long time ago. It's not that I have anything againat it if yon want to play. I'm not interested—or maybe rshould admit I'm a kwsy gamUer. I hate betting on anjrthing but a sure thing, and how many of those do we come across on a regular basis? You plagr? Oecunteriteit, do what you want to. But how can you, an intdligent adult, go plonk down your hard earned cash on an animal that somebody named "Statspaiilla." Come aa, get seriousi Or maybe you bet on something called "Sweet to the Core." My gosh, you could swallow your tongue just rooting for Uie horsel I wonder inhere all of this unusual horse naming comes froBD. When I see newareels of the very wealthy Kentucky horse owners I can't imagine them putting down their mint juleps and saying "let's call the new foal 'Loifin ShnelL' " They ahraya look as though it's fairly serious business and I irooki have thought th^'d call a horse "Brown Streak" or something like that. Wait a minute—they don't race hwaee in Israd, do they? More likely they race camels I suppose, but just the same, wouldn't it be fan to speculate on names for whatever animals they would enter? Let's see, maybe something like "Yankel's Blitzw" or "Shk>ff-Nit Shmud." How woddyou like to stand at the rail and yell one of those across the finish line? Not me. I guess III stick to other amuaemoits, but offhand I can't think of anything more nmuiqng than these horsesi

Kahane to renounce U.S. citizenship By Henry Stern
Next meeting is Aug. 16. The Kansas City group, which was scheduled to come in August, has canceled for a later date, but note on your calendar that the Honorable Mayor of Omaha, Walt Calinger, will be our next guest speaker. At the last earlybirds, vice president Harry Schulman presented moderator Norm Wohlner whose opening subject was the United Nations and the pros and cons of its functioning. Also discussed was the lawlessness of some U.N. members around Manhattan who take advantage of their diplomatic immunity. At this writing, Iran and Iraq are supposedly getting ready to talk—maybe by the time you read this they will have reached an agreement. Ideal Country Home on Hansen's Lake I, 1200 sq. ft, 2 bedrooms, attached greenhouse, central air & heat pump, Anderson Twindows, fenced 2/3 acre, dout)le garage with storage and atbc, sandy t)each, swim, fish, and rowtwat only. Five miles south of Offut, $69,000. By owner, call 291-7251
The subject switched to Jordan's king's abandonment of the West Bank. A delicious luncheon was served up by Toby Kagan et al, subbing for MoUie who was Winnipeg bound. Motzi by Sam Shyken, Benschen by Keith PelU. We had a birthday cake honoring Morrie Sax's 80th and President Sam read the list of the rest of the August birthdays with Art Goldstein at the piano. Norm Wohlner told us that Bemie Goldstrom is liospitalized. Harry Schulman thanked barrister Lou Lipp who, due to a mix-up in dates, abdicated in favor of another guest speaker and graciously offered to reappear in September. Norm Komey presented guest speaker Bill Hinkley, executive director of the Boys Club of Omaha. He thanked members of the Omaha Jewish community for contributions to the welfare of Omaha's Boys Club members and he named a few Omaha Jews who contributed so much of their time, money and effortslike Ed Shafton, Hymie Milder and Ben Shafton, to name a few. We hope to have a good turnout for the Aug. 16 meeting to hear Mayor Calinger.

By Reva Oruch Forty-thrM seniors of the Y.E.S. group boarded a bus for Winnipeg, Canada. The first stop was New Ulm, Minn., where we saw and heard a performance of the Olochenspiel, one of the few carillon clocks in the world. We stopped in Fargo, N.D., to see Bonanzaville USA, playing bingo and singing on the way. We crossed the Canadian border on Wednesday and headed for Winnipeg. We visited the Mint, an interesting place. In the evening we attended the first part of the Folklorama where we saw Phillipine, Portuguese and Croatian shows. Former Omahans Fritzie and Gene Telpner joined us on Thursday for a visit to Sharry Zedek Synagogue and a tour of the dty. In the evening we returned to the Folklorama, visiting Ireland, Hungary and France.
On Friday we took a luncheon cruise on the Red River and attended a dinner show where we saw Plaza Suite. The next morning we were on our way home, stopping at the International Peace Gardens located on the border between Canada and the U.S.A. New faces on this trip were Dorothy and Fred Kotok and Ilene and Bill Pachman. We are always happy to have Margot Guldman from Denver with us. Thank you to song leaders Pauline and Harry Seiner, Beverly Gilinsky and Doris Kwiatek, Doris and Nate Shukert. Our joke tellers were Dr. Margolin, Sam Epstein, Morrie Katz, Nate Shukert and Bess Becker. Besa and Nate also kept the back of the bus amused with Yiddish stories. Al and I saw to it that everyone had plenty to eat and drink on the bus.
