By Hngh Orgel TEL AVIV (JTA) - Israel successfully launched a small test satellite recently, becoming the eighth country in the world capable of sending an object into orbit. The satellite, dubbed "Ofek (Horizon) One," was lofted into space by an Isradi-made rocket at 11:32 a.m. local time. The launch site was not disclosed. The sateUite entered into what was described as a "low elliptical orbit, drding the globe from east to west once every 90 minutes," at distances ranging from 166 to 620 miles. Ofek is expected to have a life span of about one month. The time will be used to test its solar energy power plant, its ability to transmit data and its responses to orders from earth, officials here said. They stressed it was not a "apy satellite," contrary to reports in the foreign news media that have been predicting for the past two weeks that Israel would soon launch one. Premier Yitzhak Shamir prataed the scientific and tigchnological community for designing, building and launching the satellite. He noted it places Israel among the few countries capable of such a feat. He stressed that the satellite would have no effect on the regional arms race, but does put Israel into the "technological race." With the launching, it haa gained an important ineetiga advantage, ha aaid. Focaign Miniater Shimon Pena agreed that the Ofek lauQching waa not a miUtaiy move.

Firm plans Jewish television station By Marlene Goldman NEW YORK (JTA) - A corporation in Connecticut is planning to launch what it believes wUl be the first television station in the country devoted to Jewishoriented programming. The nature of the content, according to Michael VIock, president of the Bridgeways Conununications Corporation of Westport, Conn., will be cultural rather than religious. "We want to attract a general viewing audience,"

Vlock told the Jewish Tele graphic Agency. "We want to make sure people know it will not be the Jewish version of the '700 Club.'" But the main viewing targets will still be the three million Jews living in the New Y^rk metropolitan area, northern New Jersey and Connecticut. Programming will vary, including areas such as news, current events, talk shows, movies, sitcoms, business, science, politics, travel, children's programs and education.

'Glasnost' and Genealogy

tf •-> •<

Roots

and Branches By MIRIAM WBNER

To family historians and genealogists, glasnost r^ resents the potential for a glimpse into "forbidden records. '' To date, it is not gen-' erally possible for an American researcher to request copies of vital records for their Russian anctetors or to research the Russian census records. For those of us with Russian roots, this closed door represents a bitter frustration and we watch with cautious enthusiasm to see if the new "openness" will open the door to researcfaws. Today, most Jews in the United States can count at least one grandparent who originally came from Russia or an area that was once part of the Russian empire. In the 30 years between 1881 and 1910, 1,662,800 Jews entered the United States. Of that total number, 71.6% of the immigrants came from Russia. The descendants of those immigrants constitute almost 75% of the Jewish population in the United States. Until the spirit of glasnost extends to the accessibility of archives and their holdings, you can utilize the following sources. Photographs of Russian Towns The National Archives maintain files of aerial photos as well as photos taken at ground level for various cities and towns in the Soviet Union. An alphabetical index by town makes it easy to locate the photos. Boris Feldblyum of Potomac, Maryland, has amassed a large collection of photos taken in the Soviet Union betwe^ 1963 and 1979, along with an extensive collection of historic photos (early 1900's). A descriptive listing of his photographs of "Places and Subjects of Jewish Interest

in the Soviet Union" describes each photograph as to date and subject. RuMian Telephone Directories I have been successful in obtaining photo c/^ies of pages from Russian telephone directories for the following cities: Baku, Bukhara, Donetsk, Dushanbe, Irkutsk, Kharkov, Kiev, Kishinev, Leningrad, Moscow, Odessa, Riga, Simferopol, Tallin Tashkent, Tbilisi. Uzhgorod, Vilnius, Yerevan. The year of the phone books varies, with many being over ten years old. The listings from these Soviet tel^bone books have ultimately enabled me to contact fifteen families in the Soviet Union via telephone which resulted in the addition of over 100 mem-' bers to my family tree. Census Records A comprehensive article entitle "Censuses in Russia and the Soviet Union" ^ pears in The Modem Encyclopedia of Russian and Soviet WMUry, Vol.6, edited by Joseph L. Wieczynski. The article outlines the various censuses conducted from the early 18th century to 1969. Although this article does not disclose sources or methods of obtaining such census returns, it does indicate the names (by province and town) of 137 places where a census was conducted prita- to 1917 and the type of data inchided. libraries and Archives A pollection of descriptive "guides" to the various regional Soviet Archives (and a few guides to the Archives of other Eastern European countries) exists on microfilm. These publications as a rule ars printed in small quantities (in Russian), and are not well circulated, even within the country of origin. Furthermore, they are even

less known abroad and thus have been very difficult for western libraries to acquire. For those researching the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe while in Washington, D.C., the 17-page article, "Library and Archival Resources on Russia, The Soviet Union, and Eastern Europe in the Washington, D.C., Area" by D.H. Kraus of the Library of Congress is useful. Pnblicatioiis 1. A 37-page reeearch report, Sonrcea for Reaearctiing Ukrainian Family History (John-Paul Himka and Frances A.

Don't marry for love

The above admonition comes Aram psychologist and bestselling author Sol Gordon in his new book, Why Love Is Not Enough. Dr. Gordon, who has lectured many times at the Jewish Community Center here on love and sexuality, holds a view that some people will find anti-romantic. The notion that love is enough to sustain a relationship is rejected, as are other cliches. According to Dr. Gordon, a successful love relationship or marriage can be attained only if it is a pragmatic one. F'or one neurotic reason or another, men and women sometimes fall hopelessly in love with people they don't even know very well, let alone like ... If there's simply no rational component to a love relationship, the odds are pretty stiff against its lasting for any period of time, warns Dr. Gordon. "Madly in love becomes tragically in love," he points out. If love is not enough, what, then, are the essential components of a happy relationship? According to Dr. Gordon, a basic mutual commitment to equal opportunities in decision making, including choices related to career, childrearing, and lifestyle questions is essential. If you are sufficiently motivated by the above, read the book. My particular interest in the book from a Jewish editor's point of view are his references to the Talmud and his specific guidelines for happiness. . For example,"If you find that your partner consistently makes you feel bad about yourself, and that you have to spend the rest of the day recovering from the damage, then you've received a clear signal that you're involved in an immature relationship. "Similarly, if you feel good about yourself only in the presence of your partner, or seem, as a result of the relationship, not to care about the rest of the world or the feels of others, the odds are good that the relationship is it going to make you happy in the long term. 'But if you're in the kind of relationship that makes you feel good about yourself both when you're with your part-, ner and when you're apart: the kind of relationship that reinforces your acceptance of yourself without draining every bit of energy from your mate; the kind of relationship that leaves you feeling happy at the end of the day, as though you'd found your place in the world... then congratulations. "You're involved in a challenging, growth-oriented, mature relationship."

HAIFA — Decisions! All of us are called upon to make them all the time. Some deal with trivia in our daily existence—and some may affect our Uves and careers for years to come. Businessmen and industrialists have to decide on policies which can result in prosperity and success, or failure and bankruptcy. Governments are called upon to make crucial decisions which will have far-reaching influence on the welfare or security of the nation. Not long ago we attended a symposium dealing with the subject of the state's intelligence services and national security. A brilliant array of military and academic personnel discussed such subjects as strategic siuprise, escalation in critical relations, and decision-making based on available information. Sponsors of the symposium were Haifa University, and the Israel Defense Forces College for National Security. The discussion was frank and fascinating, providing an insight into how vital decisions are reached in matters of national defense. The talks triggered off contemplation of the many decisions, some with major implications, and some minor, which the State of Israel has been called upon to make in its forty years. Now, in retrospect, we can begin to realize which were justified and which, despite great confidence at the time, turned out to be mistaken. For example: In the early 1960's, in order to follow the American hard line on the People's Republic of China, Israel rejected peaceful gestures from Peking, and refused to establish diplomatic relations. Eventually, the U.S. made its peace with China, but Israel remained out in the cold. The draining of the Huleh swamps was hailed in its day as a major feat of the conquest of nature, one of the great Zionist achievements of the State, and it is so recorded in the history books. The realities of today indicate that it was probably a grave mistake, upsetting the balance of nature, and creating grave ecological conditions. It may well be that the Huleh lake, which had disappeared from the maps, may yet make its reappearance Qn the other hand, the construction of the national water carrier, to convey siuplus waters of the north to central and southern parts of the country, which some "experts" had termed e fool's project, turned out to be fully justified and a wise investment.

"The friendliness of the congregation made me feel like I was back home in Greeley, Colo., but the tunes were somewhat diffe^t than the ones I used in choir." A native of Greeley, Ms. Weil, 26, attended Greeley Central High School and egnied a BA degree in i^tarican Studies at the University of Colorado at Boulder.

She is residing in Omaha at present helping Bob Kerrey in his campaign for the United States Senate. Ms. Weil told the Jewish Press that her interest in government intensified in her college years when she worked as a summer intern for Gary Hart in his Washington Senate office. She followed that assignment by volunteering for then Representative Tim Wirth in Boulder and later ended up as a paid staff person on his Washington staff. Several moqths ago, she met with tha Democratic

alone will tell if the verdict was the correct one. Fii«t was the conclusion to halt construction of the canal from the Mediterranean to the Dead Sea; second was the painful decision to halt construction of the Lavi plane; and third was in effect the lack of decision to go ahead with construction of nuclear power plants. The war in Lebanon will long remain subject for dispute. With the passage of time, it appears that the initial invasion, up to a certain point, was justified, but the decision to enter Beirut might have been a mistake. There are still many in Israel who challenge that latter statement, insisting that the conquest of Beirut could have had an enormous favorable result on the Middle East situation, if it had been executed decisively, and without the political foot-dragging in which it ultimately became bogged down. In 1967, as Nasser's forces were mobilizing all along our southern front, and the threat to Israel seemed terribly ominous, decision was taken to throw Israel's entire defense effort into a pre-emptive strike with our air force. Almost no one today questions the wisdom of that decision. On the other hand, the decision not to mobilize our full reserves on the eve of the Yom Kippur War, lest the world condemn us for provocative military move—this despite indications that .the Egyptians were preparing a surprise, will go down in history as one of Israd's major errors of judgment. To take Sadat at his word, and invite him to Jerusalem? One of the wisest decisions made. The decision to yield to terrorist blackmail, and to release over a thousand convicted murderers and terrorists from Israel's jails, is today seen in retrospect as a major lapse th judgement, as hundreds of those let go are today busily engaged in new acts of terror. Indeed, was not the decision to proclaim the establishment of the State of Israel in 1948, against overwhelming odds, a daring decision? The days of decision are not over. Israel's government, whoever controls it after the forthcoming elections, will be called upon to determine; Do we agree to accept the umbrella of an international conference for talks on peace? Do we agree to talk to the PLO despite that organization's sworn vow to destroy us? Do we withdraw from all or large parts of the occupied areas? As we said at the outset, it's decisions, dedsions, all the timel

Senatorial Campaign Committee and following interviews with Kerrey's campaign manager and the candidate, she was hired as Deputy Director of Issues and Research. "It's toy job to keep the candidate abreast of current activity in the Senate as they relate to Nebraska and Federal issues," she eaid. Ms. Weil pointed out that Kerrey's experience as governor of Nebraska gave him a great deal bf in-depth knowledge on the needs of the State, and that he is able to see "the whole picture" when it comes to national issuea. She said that hw work in the campaign requires constant attentioa and con-

sumee all of her time.

"But, he's a delight to work with. He's of a different celiber than an ordinary candidate... he's not afraid to say what he thinks, he writes his own speeches, and he takes political risks putting principles above politics." Ms. Weil said her Jewish background enabled her to make some coptributions to the campaign in terms of relating to a Jewish coiutituency. For example, she added "L'shana Tovah" to the New Year advertisement which the Kerrey Campaign placed in the Jewish Press recently. "Working on this Campaign is tough, the effort requires my complete attenUon and consumee all of my time, but Kerrey is worthy it. .. he's a mensch." "

Morning Freiheit folds offered differing recollections of the newspaper's editorial policies, in telephone conversations with the Jewish Telegraphic Agency. Irving Freed, the managing editor, insisted it was an "indqwndent progressive" Jewish newspaper from inception. He denied it was ever subsidized by the Soviets or the American Communist Party. But it slavishly supported Soviet policies, including the Hitler-Stalin pact of 1939. Paul Novick, the editor-inchief who was manning the city desk when the first edi' tion of the Freiheit appeared more than 66 years ago, admits "we were duped." While he maintains, like Freed, that the paper was never a Communist Party organ, he acknowledged that it never deviated from the party line before 1956.

By William Saphire NEW YORK (JTA) The Morning Freiheit, one of the last surviving Yiddish newspapers in America, and easily the most controver sial, announced it is ceasing publication. Its first edition appeared on the news stands on April 2,1922, and for the next 34 years, it faithfully purveyed the Communist Party line from Moscow to Yiddish readers in the United States. Its moment of truth arrived in 1956, when Nikila Khrushchev delivered his scathing expose of Stalin at the 20th Communist Party Conference in Moscow. After that, the Freiheit felt free to question and criticize Soviet policies and even attacked anti-Semitism in the Soviet Union, a subject it previously ignored. Still, FreUieit veterans

But while her father, Bernard Henderson, said the change would be a "tremendous improvement," he repeated a call for a nationwide campaign among'^Jewish and interfaith organizations to demand her parole. Pollard, 28, is serving two concurrent five-year prison terms for acting as an accessory to the equonage activities of her husband, Jonathan Jay Pollard.

In a briefing with Israeli correspondents here on the eve of the assembly session's opening, Ambassador Johanan Bein said that Arab delegates are likely to introduce a number of antiIsrael resolutions in the assembly. They will probably focus on the Palestinian uprising in the West Bank and Gaza Strip, now in its 10th month.

Oil factory By Hngb Orgel TEL AVIV(JTA) - An unusually large and remarkably well-preserved olive oil "factory," dating back to the seventh century Byzantine period, has been accidentally uncovered during garden planting work at a new building in Kiryat Ata, near Haifa. The remains uncovered reveal that the factory, consisting of four separate presses, each with its own storage basins, had been destroyed by fire. Archeologist Dr. Yosef Poratb, who dug the qua^ ter-acre site when summoned by landscape gardeners laying out gardens around a new bloc of apartment houses, said the destruction of the factory apparently took place either during the Persian conquest in 614, or the later Arab conquest in 636-638 A.D.

PLO may declare at end of year By Tamar Levy GENEVA (JTA) - The Palestine Liberation Organization will wait until the end of 1988 before issuing a declaration of independence, according to an American academic who met recently with PLO leader Yasir Arafat. Jerome Segal, a Jewish instructor of philosophy at the University of Maryland, told a news conference here that he met in Tunis with Arafat and one of his top aides. Salah Khalef, better known by his nom de guerre, Abu lyad. Segal met Arafat once before, in June of last year. Suggestions culled from newspaper articles written by Segal and carried in the Arabic press have been incorporated into recent Arab documents outlining plans

for declaring an independent Palestinian state. According to Segal, who is participating in the International Meeting of NonQovernmental Organisations in Geneva, there is a "real transformation" inside the PLO. During his meeting, he tried to impress upon his hosts the need for them to launch a "peace offensive" that would include recognizing Israel's right to exist. But the PLO officials toU him that such an initiative would be difficult to undertake unless there is hope of a response from the Israeli side.

Russian language paper SAN FRANCISCO (JTA) — The rapidly growing Soviet Jewish population in San Francisco voices itself in the only Russianlanguage newspaper in the nation for Jewish emigres. Novayaihiin, or New Life, was first published in 1979, at the height of the Soviet Jewish inunlgration into the Bay Area. That population now numbers some 6,000. Paralleling the rise in Soviet Jewish emigres, the paper has grown from a onepage photocopied handout to a 16-page magazine, filled with ads and features on such issues as immigration, the Peace Now movement, and Jesse Jackson's appeal to Jews. "The paper has become more sophisticated," Bar-

bara Litt, the head of the San Francisco Jewish Community Center's Soviet emigre program, told the Northern California Jewish Bulletin. "The contributors are now Soviet Jews speaking from experience, instead of experts telling the emigres how they will or should adapt," Litt continued. ELECTED CHICAGO (JTA) Cindy Chazan, assistant executive director of the Greater Hartford Jewish Federation, was elected assistant secretary of the Conference of Jewish Communal Service. Daniel Thursz, former executive vice president of B'nai B'rith International, was appointed president.

RECEIVES AWARD HARTFORD (JTA) House speaker Irving Stolberg has received an award from the National Conference of State Legislatures in recognition of his service as president of the organization. The award is a collection of flags from the 60 states, anchored in a base and embossed with the seals of the state of Coimecticut and the Conference. RABBINICAL PRESIDENT JERUSALEM (JTA) Dr. Albert Lewis, senior rabbi of Temple Beth Shalom, Haddon Heights/Cherry Hill, N.J., has become president of the Rabbinical Assembly, the international organization of Conservative rabbis. He served as treasurer, secretary and immediate past vice president of the assembly.

Ne'eman himself had dismissed the reports as "more like science fiction tales and far from reality." Israel's space scientists say the theoretical capacity exists to build and launch a high-altitude spy satellite, but the costs may be too much for Israel to bear. A low-altitude orbiter would be cheaper, but of limited military value, the scientists say. It would cover only a narrow path, passing over the Middle East region twice a day, have a short lifetime and need to be replaced frequently. An ipteUigence satellite at higher altitudes, set in a stationary orbit, could observe regional developments on a permanent, "real time" basis and would have a longer life span. But it would cost billions to build. Scientists agree that the problem is financial, not technological. Israel is especially strong on the optical and computer image enhancement technologies.

tions and a wide variety of other purposes. "Till now, we have had to buy satellite time—to pick up TV pictures from the Seoul Olympk»' every nif^t. We may soon be able to sell it," the scientist said. Ne'eman also referred to media rumors of an Israeli spy satellite. He said they were a likely conclusion. Considering "that we have defense and seciuity problems, they put two and two together." He admitted that there is a "defense aspect" to the satellite launching. That is a matter to be discussed in the future by the competent authorities, Ne'eman said. The spy satellite nmiors were fueled by the secrecy that surrounded Monday's launch. Until Ofek was successfully on the way to orbit, officials here refused to comment. The Cabinet, which met Sunday, did not refer to the matter in the public statement issued by Cabinet Secretary Elyaldm Rubinstein.

(Continued from Page 1) "the problem is not one of borders or the level of our technological prowess,, but of the tension and hatred in this region." The launching cast a spotlight on another political figure, Professor Yuval Ne'eman of Tel Aviv University, an internationally prominent physicist who is leader of the ultranationaliat party Tehiya. Ne'eman, who also heads Israel's space agency, was sought out by reporters. He described the launch as "very clean," without any problems. He said the test satellite will be folio wed. by a scientific satellite and decisions will be made about which of a series of proposed scientific experiments will be carried out by future satellites. "This is an important step which takes Israel into the world of tomorrow," Ne'eman said. He noted that satellites are now a multibillion-dollar business serving global communica-
