Labor scores upset in Israeli election By Hugh Orgel TEL AVIV (JTA)-The Labor Party administered a severe trouncing to Likud in the elections for the '13th Knesset and stands the beat chance of forming the next government, according to computer projects broadcast L by Israel Television shortly after the voting ended at 10 p.m. local time Tuesday. The projections, based on exit polls, gave Labor 47 seats in the new parliament, up from 38 in the old, while Likud dropped from 40 to 33, a loss of seven seats. Final returns were not expected until the end of the week. But, Israeli commentators described the preliminary results as a "revolution." The projections stunned Likud politicians at the party's Tel Aviv headquarters. Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir said he wanted to see the final resulta before commenting further. At Labor headquarters) there was jubilation. "It will be a different country, a better country," exclaimed Haim Ramon, the party's campaign chairman. If the exit polls are correct, the left wing bloc led by Labor would have 64 seats in the new Knesset, against 56 seats for the Likud-led bloc of rightwing jind religious parties.
But the left's 64 would include two Arab parties on the far left, which won four seats between them. Labor Party leader Yitzhak Rabin has vowed not to take an Arab party into a Labor-led government. Without the Arabs, Labor and the allied Meretz bloc Would be one vote short of a Knesset minority, if the polls are right. Meretz was projected to have won 13 seats, making it the largest of the "smaller" parties. On the right, the Tsomet party increased its share of seats from two to six, and the extremist Moledet party gained a seat for a total of three, according to the projections. But the veteran Tehiya party, which had three seats in the outgoing Knesset, apparently failed to win the 1.5-percent minimtmi vote needed to qualify for the new Knesset. Others apparently failing to pass the threshold included the Progressive List for Peace, a mainly Arab party, and Rabbi Moshe Levinger's the Torah and the Land party. The religious bloc as a whole appeared to have lost four of the 18 seats it held in the outgoing Knesset. The National Religious Party and Shas remained steady at five seats each, but the combined Agudat YisraelDegel HaTorah list, known
as United Torah Jewry, won just four, according to the projections. Winning two seats each, according to the projections, were the Arab Democratic Party, led by former Labor Party Knesset member Abdel Wahab Darousha, and the Democratic Front for Peace and Equality, a Communist list also known as Hadash. The exit polls were taken at 50 dummy polling booths at carefully selected voting stations, where electors were asked, as they left, to repeat the vote they had cast for the Knesset,. The dummy stations closed at 8p.m., two hours before the official polls closed, to give time for counting and tabulation. Final results are expected today after the tabulation of votes cast by soldiers, Israeli sailors at sea, and diplomats and offidaTs'serving abroad. But the results will not be official until published next week in the Official Gazette. Once results are official, it will be up to Israel's president to designate a party leader to form a government. The candidate who succeeds in forming a govermnent becomes the ' designated prime minister. The government is officially installed- when the Knesset provides a vote of confidence.
Jule Newman bequest gives ADL $100,000 By Morris Maline and Susan Faley National ADL director Abe Foxman was in Omaha this week to present a special award to the Newman family in honor of a gift of $100,000 to ADL from the estate of the late Jule Newman. The gift was provided to ensure the viability of the ADL office in Omidia. "During the first week on my job 22 years ago, Ilearned that Omaha had a history and tradition of support for ADL. We always knew that we had 'family' who cared in Omaha. The purpose of this visit is to put our arms around our family in Omaha and to acknowledge their leadership and support." Bob Newman accepted the award on behalf of his father, and brothers, Murray, and the late Nick Newman. Dr. Patricia Newman, ADL regional board president remembered "Grandpa" (Jule) as a "thoughtful, openminded and fair man of action, who worked his entire life in selfless fashion for his family and community." Mr. Foxman stated that ' "it was a zchus, (a privilege) to stand here to attest that there is more good than evil in the world. We believe that it matters what we do, say,

This is the first time we have had the opportunity to publicly say 'Thank youl' to the Newman family for their continued help and support." Mr. Foxman also utilized his time in Omaha to meet with the Jewish Press and with community)' leaders.. At these sessions, he suggested that Nebraska has a "magnificent oppor-
tunity" to enact hate crime legislation while avoiding pitfalls rejected in the recent Supreme Court decision in the Wisconsin case. In addition to the need for legislation, Mr. Foxman asserted that a more vigorous response is needed on the part of the American public to reject a greater permissiveness toward hate in all of its forms, be it political candidates or music rappers. "We need the same passionate effort used by

First, and foremost, 1 must say that I think the Omaha Jewish community is to be congratulated for stepping forward this year, not only to support the meet successful campaign we have ever had. but in engaging in two Exodus drivee over thepast two years, one in which we will continue next year in order to try to attain the subsequent goal of 12,600,000.1 think that the commum'ty has been forthcoming and deserves a wellearned thank you.

"We saw the good, the bad and the indifferent," he said. "Nothing was held back." In Acre, a town of 51,000, Mr. Armstrong got an Arab )K>int of view. "He didn't want integration, just coexistence." He found the Ethiopian Jews the most poverty stricken in the entire country. Israelis told Mr. Armstrong Ethiopians would have to be westernized and would have many hurtles to overcome. "But they don't call it racism," Mr. Armstrong said. He visited a kibbutz called Neva Shalom where Arabs and Jews had chosen to live together on land donated by a monastery. "They cross train each others children in culture
and religion," Mr. Armstrong said. "They have a school for peace. Outside contact is kept to a minimum."" When children reach high school age they have to leave the kibbutz to further their education. As they go into the outside world, according to Mr. Armstrong, "They are taught that not everyone is going to be perfect." The strong family ties of the Jewish people both in Israel and America have always impressed Mr. Armstrong. "The lowincome commimities have a break down of family values. This will come back to haunt a democratic society," he said. Fascinated by the diversity of the coimtry and the hope of the people, Mr. Armstrong called his visit to Israel, "The most exciting trip of my life."

SFKVU'RS For those of you who may someday find yourselves living in a new conuivunity, let me suggest that you speak to Dr. David Brocknian about becoming a valued citizen of your soon-to-be home. Since coming to Lincoln, David has volunteered to "take over" the kitchen of Tifereth Israel Synagogue. Now let it be known that David is an orthodontist who came to town to practice with a man who has practiced here for some 20 years. David was born in St. Louis, Mo., but went to college and dental school in Kansas City. During high school he worked in a deli learning the fine art of meat slicing and tray assembly. He furthered that knowledge by learning vegetable sculpture, and AU those 101 arts that it takes to become a caterer. Enough said about his background in and around the kitchen. He is a well-trained, knowledgeable, and willing worker. And any fella' who would take on this formerly female domain is a treasure and one to be accorded a twenty-one gun salute. A bit of personal information. David is married to Julie and they have a seven-and-a-half-month-old daughter, Haieigh. Sound like a nifty couple and a great addiUoh to Lincoln.
