HAIFA - As of this writing, the war of the Persian Oulf is stiU being fou^t out with words and tiireats in print, on radio and on tdavidon. PresideBt Bush emphasiaea his determined stand, and Saddam Hussein repli^ with.threats of Apocalypse. Nations take their stand and tenafan remains taut American televisian networks vie with each other to provide more coverage, looking for sooope aqd ezehisives. Tlie same battle is being fought out <« the air wavee of the Mkidle East as weU, a^ite more than 60 radio stations, broadcasting in Arabic, spout their music, news and propaganda to ths peo^ee of tha area. Not least among theae is the Voice of Israd in the Arabic tongue. It should come as no surprise that Iraq seeks to jam the broadcasts from Israel Indeed, the intarfereooe began long before tha preaent crisis, but land's powarfiil transmitters, which cover an area ranging from the Sovist Unfan in the north to Ethkpia in the south, send out their measages of five wave lengths, three '"«»«*<"• wave ud two short wave. As a resvlt, th«y can dwsys be lacked up somewhere on the dial S<Hiie years ago, ths Iraqi Ministry of Education conducted a survey of foreign-broadcasts which Iraqis listen to and lorad ranked high, not far behind BBC. Israd'a policy in theee broadcasts was sst msny years ago and has been carefuny adhered ta Edmond Schayek, director of the Arab broadcasts, told us that a careful line is drawn between news and political cominentaiy. Care is taken not to distort or color the news. The reputation for accurate must be meintained. Parsonalitiee in the Arab world are interviewed but no blatant propaganda is permitted, ndther against Israd nor sgainst the PLO «• Saddam Hussein. Even the politicd commentary, which, is deariy labeled, ia careful not to make peninul attacks against Hussein or to seek to discredit him. The facts qiMk for themselves. The Israd line is to play down any Isrtwli invdvement in the Oulf crisis^ This is a matter between Iraq on the one akle and the United Nations, the United

States and the rest of the worid on the other. Israd is an interested spectator, concerned for the outcoott. but is not a party. Great care is tsken not to give Hussein the sU^^eat pitttezt that Israelis are consisting against him or planning a mintaiy attack, llw Iraqi people are not attacked, but the truth is tdd about Kdiat Hussein's poUdes have resulted in: oHUidete isolation of Iraq in the worid and loes of even the meager gains from the eight-year4ong bloody war with Iran.
Hi
There iapfJsedbadt. Every broadcast announcss a office boK number in Europe to wfakfa Ustenam can write; and the letters do come b7 the hundreds. Not an of them Jiem ^ are friendly, soms even hostile, Sehayek said, but even these Indicata that the broadcasts are bdng hsard. typical of tha reaction, of late, is the imtiflMut oonqdaint from Iraq: why didn't the wold take immediate action against Israd when it conquered the territoriee, but jun^ied cm Iraq immediately after ita oooqiatkRi of Kuwait? Israd Badio deee not hesitate to afr thequery but also provides the answer for the Arab worid to bean "We were faced with a war which was fcHced upon us; our very survivd was at stake. The two cases are not comparable at alL" Local Arabs, who also listen to the broadcasts, admit that the station has an edcdknt record for accurate and truthfulness, thouidi the audienoes do not necessarily agree with the pditical commisntaiy. and one East Jerusalem joomdist made an observation which goes a long way to explaining Arab mentaUty. Saddam Hussem is extmmety popular in the Arab worid, he said, because ha gives the impression of strength.. Do Israel's Arabs liaien to the broadcasts from Bafi^ dad? The rqily: "Everyone knoWa that the programs are complete propaganda and unreliable. Here in this country I can voice criticism of Israd's Prime Minister on Inad radio if I wish. Similar internal criticism in Iraq would be unthinkable," The war tA words goes on and Israd's voice continues to be heard kMid and dear in the Middle East.

'L,
Bert Lewis Any new babies in your family lately? A new grandchild maybe, or a great nephew, or even a predoos little daui^ter or son? If so, this may pertain to you more than to aomdbody who hasn't wekmned a newcomer in awhile. What I have in mind is names. What today's crop of diildren are b^ing named, that is. It used to be, way back wiiea, the neidy arrived bundle of joy was called Miriam or Jacob or perhaps Samuel. Gmorally speaking, the name was Biblical in origin and, often as not, given to a child in memoiy of a ffunily memberno kmger li^dng. Then a few decadee ago, when my age group began having familiee, the names began to change. We began to hear about more little girls named Susan or Jeesica or maybe Karen. And the boya were Stephen or Soott <u- Jeffrey. Like ever}rthing dse, names come into and out of style every so many years. That's really my point here today. These days we often hear the new chM was named Jacob or Etekial or maybe Rym^fj; the ones in ruffles and pink are being called Ruth or Esther <v Rachd. AgiUn, the return to those names we first remember frtmi Biblical storiee and histoiy. I can't say why this is happenhig—I'm redly not sure how ccMne a k^id^gartoi dass in 1966 had three Oregocys, two Michads and five Jonathans; nor can I tell you why the ineschool class in 1994 will have kids named Menachein m Beqjamin or Rebecca or NaiMnL Maybe there ia some connection here to that old "notldng new under the sun" business. Maybe, no matter if you're mto making up namee to suit yourself today, by the time your grandchihlren are borio, they'll be finished with that nonsense and back to drawing from the same namea you did. Who knowa? But you have to admit, it's more than a little mind-bogB^ing to think a time wiD come (if it hasn't already) that a child will introduce her ^andma as "my^Bobie, Tiffany Flnklefarb." Oc periupa "Thia is my Gram, Buffy Cohen." Could you piotc? Wd don't, becauae it couU happen just that way. That's the trouble with giving babiea cuteay names—thoae bahies grow tq> and become adults and usuaOy adults aq^ at least a modiaim of dignity where their namee are conccmed. Actually, I d<n't have a lot of room to tdk. We gave our kids good, sturdy namee whkh were somewhat pqpular at the time—not cute, but popular. Ncme of them use their middle namee today (ud I qwnt countless hours agonizing over thorn), but they have them if thqr so choose. And our daughters found the names we gave them so fitting to their lifestyles, thqr kept them intact after marriage, as many femalea do today'. Among our grandchildren we have a nice variety of names, however. We have everything from Andra Danidle, Masha, Julia and Samuel I guesa that covers nearly everytidng—old, new, modem, etc. And anyway, what'a the diffareooe? As long as we have kkis to name, there will always be namee to go around. It's just that some have gone around so many i timae ab«ady. So whether it's Yankel or Stanford, Rochel or Brittany... abee gentnt

bW8 analysis: HVl Baker daclsian not to visit Israel Indication of tensions By David; JERUSALEM (JTA)The pDMiMct of another K^. sweepthrongbtiwMJddle . East tqrSecretaiy of State .. Jamea Balur, with Urael. pcuntedty omitted from his itinerary, has deqiened anxietlea in Jerosalsm this week over the state of rala-
tions with Washington. Yet at the'same time, the Israeli government lias not formau^ sdggested to the Bosh administration that Baker add Israel to his tour. The secretary leaves Satorday for Bahrain, Saudi An^ia, Egypt, Turic^y, France and Britain. .
JA fact, aome Israeli officials £eal it mi^t be better that Baker akyi Israel until the stOl-seething confrontation over the Tec^ Moont episode aimmo^ down.
Baker said Monday that he wants to go to Israel, but not on his preeent tr^, to prevent any Unkage of the Israeli- Palestinian conflict to the Persian GolferiBia. "I very much want to go to Israel, and I intend-to go Israel at the earliest poesible oppwtunity," he said in response to a question after addressing \he World Affafrs Council in Los Angeles. •^•^-Bakir praised I«ael forP keefwog a low profile in the ^ Qulf crisis "in order that t*8addam Hussein couM not ^'convert this issue into a l-U.S.-Israel ^ort against ^the Arab worid." Maloofan ^Hoenlein, executive direc;tor of the Conference of ' Presideots of Major Amer^ican Jewish Ornnisatkms, ^feaid Toeeday that Jewish lleaders have urged that |Bakcr go to Israel since he llias never visited the '(.country. But other sources said |ihe Jewish ooomumity is ^divUdd over whether to the issue in the of the Oulf confron^tion. I Meanwhile, the potential for increased U.S.Bsraeli tension looms in pMma Mhiiater Yitshak i^hamfr's upcoming visit ^o New York, where he is <to receive tite Defender of i^^rusalem Award from the ^abotinsky Foundation on Dec. 10. t Although Shamir has |iot requested a merting t^with President Bosh at . time and may not ' use of the Persian ulf crisis, the fftltan to ive such a meeting wOuU viewed with eoBcsm by American Jewish comlunity. It would be seen ss a jli^ of the situation last ovsmber, wb«n Bulb met th Shamir, but only aiting until just six s before the premier's ival to invite him to the hlte House. Bush's stalling angered ia the J«wish com-
munity, who charged that the Israeli leader was being insulted. An initiative to forestall a replay of that scenario was hi^ on the agenda of 8 merting four leading Jewish Republkans bad with Bush on Oct. 22. The four longtime aasodatea of Bush — Max Fisher of Detroit; Goorge Klein of New York; Jacob Stein of Great Neck. N.Y.; and Gndon Zadcs of Gdumbus, Ohio — reportedly urged the i»eaident to meet with Shamir. But they got t^ "c(dd shoulder" from the president, who did not respond to tlidr urging, accoriding to a source not present at the ousting. In a telei^ione interview Tuesday, Stein refused to
%
confirm the report on the meeting, ocplaining that all those present agreea not to comment on the conversation with Bush. But Stein acknowledged that <me of the problons between Israel and the United Statea is a "lade of persraud relations" between the too officials of the Bush administratioo and the Shamir government Good personal reh-' tioui have ahnqrs resulted in good rdatioos between the two countries, be said. Hoeakin agreed that good personal relations are necessary, but eqaeesed doubt that Bush was urged to meet with Shamir. He said such a meeting wookl first have to be requested by the Israeli leader.

Mr. Young spoke at the Oct. 22 board meeting of the Anti-Defamation League/C<«miunity Relations Committee of the Jewish Federation of Omaha. He recounted his trip to Israd and Poland last July as a psrtidpant of the "Holocaust and Jewish Resistance Summer FeUowship Pngfam" for American pubUc achool teachers, according to ADL/CRC director I. Robert Wolfson. Mr. Young was ia«lected by the ADL/CRC to participate in the followship program. His trip was spoosond by the ADL/ CRC, Cantor Leo and Annette Fettman, the Nebraaka Society of Survivors, an anonymous dona*, and by the Fogndatkm of the Jewish Federation of Omaha throu^ the Robert^Eisenberg Endowment Fund and the Ted M. and Sarah N.Seldin Family Fund, Mr. Wolfson said! "The program waa eseaOent, a very demanding three weeks which indndsd Ofver 60 hours of lectures in Israel," Mr. Young sakl. While in Israel, the group of 46 educators met at the Ghetto Fighters House & Study Center of the Holocaust and Jewish Resistance, located on Kibbuts Lochamei HaGbette'ot in the northnn Galilee, and at Yad Vashemin Jeruaalem. In PUlaad, they visited Warsaw, and concentration campa and death

Mldiael Young camps including Auschwitz, TreUinka and Birkenau, he said, adding that seeing the camps and speaking to survivors "was a very moving experience." Mr. Young said he was suri»ised to kam that a large number of people rtmning the campa were not Nazis, but Lithuauiatta and Ukranians. "That waa a real^»opener to me," he said, noting that the Ukraniana outnumbered the Nazis at TreUinka. He also said he was disturbed by "the nnwillingneee, the ignorance of the Allied countries toward the fate of the Jews. They eitbsr didn't want to know about it or didn't believe it—or it wasn't a part of their war objective." Implementing a Holocauat program in the publie^Bchoob is important be-' cause, "it is not past fajstory. It couhi hifipen a^dn," Mr. Young said. "It iM ao important to teach about the Holocauat because of ite relevance to ell of our lives. The need to develop moral prindplee is important. I aasesssd my own morality and reUgkMS faith. It makea you think about the times you shouU have taken a sCsnd, but didn't."
Becauss history teuchers have so quuiy basons to cover during the year, "many schoob don't even spend a week on Worid War II, so maybe a day i> qient on theiIo|oe«ist," Mr. Young aakL "It merits more than one day." Currently, Mr, Young lectures about hie Israel/Poland trip to colleague* and studsnte in the Omaha PubUc Schools district; he will eventually take hia -presentation throni^iout the state, Mr. WoUmnsaid. In additi(m, he noted that Mr. Young is helping the ADIA^RC tod»velop a program to hd^ bring the Holocauat intp the schools, and will help distribute the curriculum. "Michael is eztremely well-educated and dedicitted to teadhing. He has grown both personalty and professionally through tUa unique experience," Mr. Wolfson aaid. "He is aware of the Holocaiut's infwct on current, modm issues, and he has the accessibility to other teachers to impart that experience."

sure that our membership, as well as the general community, is Informed about the issues which are important to our organization, questionnaires were sent to the following candidates In the November election:
CONGRESSIONAL CANDIDATES CHILD CARE Would you support efforts by the federel government to take a leadlt)g role In Increasing the supply of affordable quality child care? Please explain. Daub: I support a child care policy that gives decisionmaking power to parents rather than the federal government. I support a refundable tax credit for low-income working families. I believe that this plan should include parents who stay home with their children, and parents who depend on relatives or church-based day care. Exon: Yes, I am co-sponsor of S.5, the Senate Child Care bill. Hoagland: Yes. I am co-sponsor of H.R. 3, the Child Care Improvement Act which passed the House earlier this year. In the last thirty years, our society has undergone some very dramatic changes with the number of single-parent families growing by 48% since 1980. By 1990, nearly Va ol women with pre-school age children will be working. In most instances, both parents have to work out of economic necessity. More certainly needs to be done to encourage employers to provide on-site child care in .the work place. Milder: I support the establishment of a refundable tax credit for child care for all parents. This would help parents afford the cost of child care without limiting them to a few providers. Under this plan, parents who use relatives or institutional day care would be eligible for this credit as would parents who make the sacrifice to stay at home. REPRODUCTIVE RIGHTS
Congress: Senate-Hal Daub (R) and Jim Exon (D)
^^^^^"^""^^^"^ Governor: Ben Nelson (D) and Kay Orr (R) jhis information is in no way intended to reflect an endorsement for or against any candidate or political party. Hoagland: Yes. No. Milder: This is a very difficult question for everyone who is involved, however, as I believe that an unborn child deserves our protection, I oppose abortion except in the cases where the mother's life is threatened. Do you support any public funding for reproductive health services, Including abortion? Daub: I do not believe the federal government should fund abortions except in cases where the life of the mother is threatened. Exon: I support Title X family planning programs, but do not support federal funding for abortions except in the above [mentioned] cases. Hoagland: I have voted to expand the current restrictions on federal funding for poor women to include cases of rape and incest as well as saving the life of the mother. Milder: I oppose public funding for abortions except in the case where the mother's life is threatened. HEALTH Do you favor the reauthorlzatlon of Title X of the Public Health Services Act which provides federal funds for family planning services for poor women In the U.S.? Daub: Yes. Exon: Yes, as long as it does not include provisions that violate my stand on abortion. Hoagland: Yes. Milder: [No response]
n
Do you support the 1973 Supreme Court Roe vs Wade decision which legalized a woman's right to have an aboHlon. If not, do you support a constitu' tlonal amendment making abortion Illegal?
Do you support a nationally mandated family and medical leave policy which would provide unpaid, job-protected leave to employees? Please explain.
Daub: No. I would support such an amendment provided that the life of the mother is protected. Exon: I hav<i always thought that Roe vs Wade took too much authority away from our state legislatures. While I oppose abortion on demand, I support the option to save the life of the mother and in cases of promptly-reported rape and incest. I have fought for federal funding in these instances.
Daub: I believe employees and the companies they work for are best suited to formulate responsible family and medical leave policies. Exon: Yes, I supported the version of this bill that passed the Congress and was vetoed by the President. Although not given the chance because of failure to over irride the veto in the House, I would have voted to override the veto.

While I support the purpoee of the bill as it deals with children, I have some concerns about the breadth of its language.

NCJW CANDIDATE QUESTIONNAIRE ••*•*** What meawrm would you mipport to curtail lllogal druguugalnNobnuka? Ntlion: We need to approach this problem on two levels. The long term solution to this problem involves improved educational efforts to teach our children the dangers of drugs. Also, it is important to be able to provide rehabilitation services for those who are seeldng help to break their addiction. A third element of the long term approach is economic development to provide jobs for those who are willing to work and make something of themselves. On the short term, we have to reclaim our streets from the drug dealers. Law-enforcement, the courts and prisons need our continued support in this battle. Orr: I will continue to propose strong legislation to help eradicate the problem of illegal drugs. We must take away the profits, protect our children, strengthen enforcement and prosecutk)n, and we must educate both young and old about this deadly scourge. Emphasis will continue in three areas: education, enforcement, and treatment. EDUCATION What maaauna would you aupport to Improva tha quality of public aducatlon In Nabnaka? N«lton: Currently there are efforts in Nebraska to restructure our public education system in the Legislature and a Restructuring Commission. Class schedules, teaching methods, curriculum, and teacher decisionmaking are being examined to find possible improvements. I would support initiatives that are determined to improve education. Also. Nebraska Should have its own state-run lottery, to not only keep our money at home but to improve the quality of our educatbn system. My proposal calls for using lottery funds to provide new technology such as computers, drug education and programs for students at risk. Om One of my first initiatives as Governor was to increase state aid to education by $10 millk>n, boost teacher's salaries by $40 millk>n, and to expand research capabilities through a research initiative. We are continuing to make innovative changes, including a satellite and fiber optic network system which can carry educatbnai programs into every Nebraska school building. I have appointed six Nebraska task forces whk;h are now working to adapt the natk>nal educatk)n goals to our state's needs. Do you aupport maaauraa to allow prayar In tha pubUcachooM N«laon: I fully support the concept of separatk)n of church and state in order to protect the freedom of religion of all Nebraska's pupils. Onr: I am a firm supporter of separatton of church and state. My personal belief is that children of all faiths should have a moment available for silent prayer or meditatk>n. Do you favor public financial aupport (a.g. tuhhn tax oradha or vouchara) forparanta ofpuptia In prtvata or parochial achoola?
Helton: I strongly believe reimbursement and tuition tax credits should never occur until funding for public education is based on a stronger and more rational financing system. Orr: Our parochial and other private schools have provided quality education without direct or Indirect assistance from the state. Do you aupport LB 1059? Plaaaa axplaln. Nelson: First of all, I support the concept of LB 1059 but I also recognize that it Is not a perfect bill. Renters, homeowners, elderly and middle-income groups are not treated fairly by this legislation. As Governor, I will work to correct the Inequities in LB 1059. If LB 1059 survives the referendum in November it will increase state aid to schools and reduce reliance on property taxes. The aid will be targeted to low-income and property-poor school districts in an effort to equalize opportunities for children and school tax burdens for property owners. Orr: LB 1059 was promoted to achieve three goals: To ' reduce property taxes; to prevent Court intervention; to reduce property tax levy disparities. I vetoed the legislation because it is questionable whether LB 1059 can achieve these goals. It does not provide the property tax relief promised. Because LB 1059 cannot solve ail the existing educational inequities, it will not prevent any court challenges from being pursued, and LB 1059 does not resolve the problem of existing property tax disparities. Do you favor a 2H lid on all Stata spending? Nelson: No, I do not support the 2% lid. While I can understand the frustration of Nebraska's taxpayers after the past four years of increases In spending, i feel that it would inhibit economic development. Any community that is growing will need more roads, hospitals, law enforcement and schools, to name a few. Business might be reluctant to locate in an area which will not be able to provide such services. Orr: A 2% lid in Nebraska's constitution would remove essential flexibility and limit the range of options elected officials could consider during difficult times. As Governor, I have vetoed nearly $300 million in tax and spending bills sent to my desk by the Legislature. Also, I asked the legislature for a strong budget limitation alternative to ensure meaningful relief from increased spending. That legislation died in committee.
