The board of directors of the

all preparations for the establish-

Berger, in accepting the ap-

a high priority to find a piece of
real estate reasonably priced and
large enough not only to accom-
modate a Home for the Aged, but
to encompass a Jewish insti-

Leading Baptist ministers
and educators from several
states have strongly de-
plored Dr. Bailey Smith,
president of the 13 million-
member Southern Baptist
Convention, for his public
remark last month that
"God Almighty does not
hear the prayer of a Jew."
Scores of letters address-
ed directly to Smith, to
various Baptist church or-
gans and to American Jew-
ish leaders involved in in-
ter-faith affairs, denounced
Smith's views as contrary
to the Scriptures and unfair
and insulting to Jews.
A number of the letters were
just made public here by the
Anti-Defamation League of B'nai
B'rith which has long been
engaged in dialogue with
Southern Baptists on such topics
as the Jewish roots of
Christianity and the Jewishness
of Jesus and his disciples.
SMITH'S REMARKS, made
at the National Affairs Briefing,
a gathering of Fundamentalist
Christians in Dallas on Aug. 22,
were recorded by the regional
representative of the American
Jewish Committee. The
AJCommittee subsequently
disseminated the transcripts.
In a letter dated Sept. 12
addressed to Rabbi Solomon
Bernards, co-director of the
ADL's department of interfaith
affairs, J. William Angell,
professor of religion at Wake
Forest University in Winston-
Salem, N.C., charged that Smith
"has joined himself to the
nefarious company of Hainan,
Hitler. Arafat and Khomeine."
He observed that Smith's
"statements are not only untrue,
ARMDI Chartered Here
Fosdick replied, "It's utterly
ridiculous. He doesn't have to
answer stuff like that."
Independent observers noted
that while Jackson did not
mention Israel in his address,
neither did Australian Prime
Minister Malcolm Fraser whose
credentials in support of Israel's
government are similarly
standing ovations before and
after his speech to the B'nai
B'rith, Fosdick noted. He
discussed the elements about
which he is the Senate's foremost
expert Soviet Jewish
emigration and the problems
stemming from U.S. dependence
on Middle East oil.
In an interview with The
Washington Star two months
ago, Jackson criticized the
"timing" of Israel's establish-
ment of new settlements on the
West Bank, but in the same
interview he said "the set-
tlements are not illegal," which is
contrary to the Carter
Administration's position.
ARMDI, the American Red
Magen David for Israel, has come
to South Palm Beach County.
The Savyon Chapter, with 52 new
members, has been chartered in
Boca Raton.
On Sunday, Oct. 5. at 4 p.m.,
the Savyon Chapter will present
Yuval Metser, the Consul
General of Israel. The meeting
will take place at the Boca Teeca
Auditorium. In addition to
Metser, a film of MDA's
programs will be presented, fol-
lowed by refreshments. The
meeting is open to the public at
no charge.
ARMDI is a membership or-
ganization dedicated to the
humanitarian needs of the State
of Israel. It supports Israels
equivalent of an official Red
Cross service, the Magen David
Adorn (MDA).
MDA provides 100 percent of
the army's need tor blood and 85
percent of the civilian needs. It
supplies all blood components
through Israel's only blood frac-
tionation center. Throughout
Israel, MDA provides 24-hour
emergency ambulance and
coronary rescue service to all
citizens and visitors regardless of
race or creed. More than 200
emergency medical clinics with
underground shelters are in con-
tinuous service of MDA.________
The new Savyon Chapter has
elected Donald Snyder, M.D.,
president; Sid Shorr, fund raising
and membership chairman;
Gerry Rosenberg, secretary-
treasurer, Sam Blair as chairman
of the board, and F re id a Jaffe,
program chairwoman. Also on
the board are Ruby Viener, Alan
Rosenberg and Ben Solomon.

unscriptural and unkind; they
are also, as you know, far
removed from the teachings and
spirit of the Jesus whom he
pretends to serve." Angell added,
"I do wish Dr. Smith would
pause at least long enough to
realize that Jesus was a Jew a
loyal and faithful Jew. Does that
mean that God would not hear
ANOTHER letter addressed to
Bernards on Sept. 14 from Bob
Wallace, Pastor of Grants Creek
Missionary Baptist Church in
Maysville, N.C., said Smith's
remarks were "another painful
reminder of this man's ignorance.
He may well be speaking for the
majority of Southern Baptists,
but he does not speak for me. I
repudiate his statement."
A letter to Smith on Sept. 3
form the Rev. Glenn Inglehart,
director of the Southern Baptist
Convention's Interfaith Witness
Department, reminded him that:
"In our materials and training
conferences we teach Baptists to
share their faith without apology
and without offense. We and
those whom we train speak
directly to our Jewish friends of
our conviction in the uniqueness
of God's act in Jesus of Nazareth
for the redemption of all persons,
Jews as well as Gentiles.
"That conviction we can affirm
heartily. But to state that God
only hears the prayers of
Christians when they pray is
another matter. Of course when a
Jew prays, it is a Jewish prayer,

The Jewish Floridian of South County
Governor Reagan
has been pro-Israel
since that nation's
creation in 1948.
Los Angeles Times, May 1980
Governor Reagan's views on
Israel, the Middle East, and
the economy are not campaign
A Record of Support
for the Jewish
Community and Israel.
In 1948, long before he became
Governor of California, he re-
signed from the Lakeside Country
C ub in Los Angeles because it
refused membership to a Jew. In
1967, at a pro-Israel rally at the
Hollywood Bowl, he forcefully
expressed his concern for Israel's
safety during the six-day war. In
1971, he was instrumental in en-
acting a California law, one of the
first in the United States, autho-
rizing banks and savings institu-
tions to buy and invest in State of
Israel bonds. Other states followed
California's example, dramatically
enhancing the sales of Israel
bonds in this country. That same
year, Israel's Medallion of Valor
was conferred on Governor Reagan
at an Israel Bonds Dinner.
In a speech before the B'nai
B nth Convention on September 3,
1980, Governor Reagan reaffirmed
his strong support for Israel.
He declared:
Israel is a major strategic
asset to America and a strong,
secure Israel is clearly in Amer-
ica's self interest. To weaken
Israel is to destabilize the Middle
East and risk the peace of the
whole world. As our democratic
ally. Israel must continue to
receive economic and defense
The PLO is a terrorist orga-
nization whose leadership is
committed to violence and ag-
gression against Israel.
The United States should not
try to force a peace settlement
upon Israel and her neighbors.
Rather, the terms of a settlement
should be decided in accordance
with the United Nations Resolu-
tions 242 and 338. Resolutions in
the United States which under-
mine Israel's positions and iso-
late her people should be vetoed
because they undermine progress
toward peace.
Jerusalem is now, and should
continue to be, one city, un-
divided, with continuing free
access for all.
Governor Reagan's views on
the Middle East are based on long-
term policies, not short-term poli-
tics. He has been a friend of Israel
for more than 30 years and his
record is one of long-standing
principles and commitments.
The election of Ronald
Reagan as president will place
a strong reliable leader in the
White House instead of the man
who sits there right now.
The Hallmark of
a Reagan Administration
will be Economic
Ronald Reagan showed his
mettle as Governor of California.
He turned a $194 million state
budget deficit into a $554 million
surplus. During his two terms as
Governor the state's inflation rate
was lower than that in the rest of
the country. He reduced taxes and
slowed down the growth of state
government. ra
The kind of Governor Ronald
Reagan was tells us a good deal
about the kind of President he will
be. A President capable of drawing
top talent to his a( ministration,
to help pinpoint where govern-
ment programs can be made more
efficient, and to balance the bud-
get in order to bring down the
inflation rate that's been adversely
affecting all Americans, especially
older Americans on fixed incomes.
When Ronald Reagan says he
will stimulate productivity, check
inflation, and strive to balance the
federal budget you just know he's
talking the language and artic-
ulating the philosophy that has
been consistently his.
That's why Americans trust
him. You have a clear choice in
this year's election. And that
choice should be based on trust.
It is hoped that you and other
thoughtful American's will re-
member the key word: TRUST.
Compare Ronald Reagan's long-
term policies with Jimmy Carter's
short-term politics. Evaluate the
performance of Washington's do-
mestic and foreign policies over
the last 3'/2 years. Whenyou DO,
you'll know that the time for
Reagan is INDEED, now.
The time is now
for Reagan.

Religious Hypocrisy
The Bailey Smith statement in the name of the
Southern Baptist Convention of which he is
president is the height of arrogance. Whether or not
God listens to the prayers of Jews is presumptuous
speculation. Mainly, it is a theological question with
metaphysical overtones. Whatever one's religious
belief, whether yea or nay, is a matter of pure faith. It
is not subject to the limited perceptions of mankind,
whose puny intelligence can merely deal with
physical evidence.
Smith's positive assertion demonstrates just
how puny his own intelligence really is. Having sim-
plified the incomprehensible, the Baptist leader
betrays himself as a bigot his protestations to the
contrary that he is not "anti-Jew." Even in this
affirmation of his innocence. Smith joins hands with
the arrogance of non-Jewish history that has judged
Jews guilty of one crime or another from deicide to
infanticide and sentenced Jews to excommunication
from the community and eternal suffering.
Speaking in the name of God, non-Jewish
history has made its judgments come true in a sea of
blood and agony. The Baptist leader is not a unique
phenomenon; he is the true son of his heritage. Let
those of his co-religionists who now criticize him
demonstrate once and for all that they have aban-
doned their chutzpah or hold their forked tongues.
Otherwise, their sympathy in this moment is
sheer hypocrisy.
A Case of Miscasting
Those who watch Vanessa Redgrave in the
Arthur Miller opus next Tuesday night on CBS
television documenting the life of Fania Fenelon will
have to reckon that they support this gruesome
marriage of message and spokesman by the simple
act of watching it.
Redgrave is a Palestine Liberation Organization
supporter. To play the life story of Fania Fenelon,
the Auschwitz heroine, is to defile the agony and the
passion of the Jewish and other victims at the hands
of Nazi atrocity in that concentration camp.
The CBS view to the contrary is sheer
materialistic contrivance. Spokesmen for the net-
work who talk about Redgrave's artistry are
hypocrites with an eye on the cash register.
Fania Fenelon herself has repeatedly pleaded for
a change of cast on the basis that it is a gross
violation of the sacrifice of the victims of Nazism. Of
this horrifying miscasting, Fenelon herself calls it "a
CBS is guilty of a callous disregard for her story,
her feelings, her life, in addition to an insult to those
who died at Auschwitz.
From Hope to Reality
A sculpture called Peace Form One was
dedicated across from the United Nations recently in
a long overdue tribute to the late Ralph Bunche, the
former Under Secretary General of the UN who won
the Nobel Peace Prize in 1950 for helping bring about
an armistice between Israel and its Arab neighbors.
The 50-foot stainless steel obelisk serves as a
reminder of a time when many looked to the UN as
an institution that would ensure peace in the world.
Bunche was the type of international civil servant \
the type that seems to have gone out of style, whose
main objective was to achieve peace.
Maybe the present members of the UN Sec-
retariat, as well as the representatives of the 154
members of the UN, will look at this monument and
realize how far the UN has gone from the tradition
Bunche symbolized. Today, the UN has become more
of a forum for exacerbating differences rather than
resolving them.

The Road to Terrorist Respectability^
Terrorism has become
respectable, and terrorists are
received and honored by the
statesmen of the world.
Terrorists, at least of the Arab
variety, are not identified as
murderers of children but as
"guerrillas" or "freedom
fighters." Who is responsible for
this growing moral insensitivity
to the evil of terrorism?
An Knglish writer who has
made her home in Israel for the
past twenty years puts a large
share of the blame on the press
and other media who have
literally desensitized the world by
their loose use of words their
"solipstitic sloppiness" their
failure to describe acts of
terrorism for what they are and
their readiness to pass them off
as acts of guerrilla warfare.
THE increasing confusion is
the press between the words
"guerrilla'' and "terrorist'' (the
writer might well have included
"commando"), says Lesley
Hazleton in the October issue of
Harper' Magazine, "indicates
abdication of responsibility by
the press, and thus by its readers
and listeners and viewers, on the,
issue of terrorism."
This abrogation of the
responsibility to distinguish
between what is justifiable
warfare and what is abhorrent
under any circumstances un-
dermines the values of any
civilization, but especially of one
based on the ideas of
Terrorism, Miss Hazleton
reminds us, "does not occur in a
vacuum. It only creates more
blood, blood and violence feeding
on themselves. And it can never
be condoned, let alone justified.
Its goal is not even to kill. That is
only a side benefit. Its aim is to
terrorize the majority into
passivity, into forgoing prin-
ciples and independent thought
for the sake of physical life. The
only ones it spurs into activity
are other terrorists. The rest of us
sit by in despair, wringing our
hands and questioning how we
can deal with it without risking
our democracy."
IT IS difficult not to accept
Miss Hazleton's indictment of
the press when she cites chapter
and verse, giving incidents every
newspaper reader or TV viewer
can parallel from his own ex-
"I cannot but be aware of my
anger," she says, "each time I
hear the British Broadcasting
Corporation refer to Irish
Republican Army gunmen as
terrorists" and to Palestinian
gunmen, in the same broadcast,
as 'guerrillas."
She tells us that the New York
Times "has adopted this same
invidious means of distinction
according to political respec-
tability rather than action: when
the Arab mayors were attacked
in early June, the rimes used the
correct word, "terrorists' at a
time when it has been calling
Palestinian terrorists
guerrillas.' "
Too many members of the
press, the writer charges, "have
become moral eunuchs, impotent
to embrace at least those values
without which no civilization
worth caring for will endure. The
words are still there, but the
values that determine their use
are rapidly disappearing. And
this has been one of the
terrorists' greatest successes.

Q: Who picked up the telephone
before Alexander Graham Bell did?
A: Johann Philipp Reis.
Reis is listed in THE BOOK OF FIRSTS as
number one to publicly demonstrate the
telephone. He did this in front of a group of
scientists in 1861 -fifteen years before Bell got
a patent Because of illness and a lack of funds.
Reis was unable to capitalize on his invention.
Bell knew of his work as did Edison who even
toyed with Reis' ideas On March 22. 1876.
twelve days after Bell's first intelligible speech
transmission, the NEW YORK TIMES ran an
editorial entitled The Telephone' The editorial
was all about Philipp Reis. Not one word about
Bell Even the U.S. Government brought suit
against Bell for: "claiming the invention of
something already widely known to exist in the
form of th.- Reis telephone' and also with
somehow concealing the latter from the Patent
Office's expert examiner in that field" Bell, of
course, survived the lawsuits and the challenges
but physicists built a monument to Reis as the
inventor of the telephone. (Better he should
have won the lawsuits.)

Egypt's Socialist Party Calls
For Liquidation of Israel
CAIRO (ZINS) Egypt's Socialist Party, in
opposition to the government, has issued a call for the
liquidation of Israel and its elimination from the map. The
call was made public in the official organ of the Socialist
Party, ElShaab, and was drafted by Ahmed Hassan, the
leader of the opposition, which has 23 representatives in
the Egyptian Parliament.
The manifesto declares that once Egypt has re-
covered most of its territories, it has to reaffirm the
conviction that the only way of solving the Palestinian
problem is through the liquidation of the Jewish State by
military force. It goes on to say that Egypt must return to
the family of Arab nations. The alienation of Egypt from
the rest of the Arab world was compared to the separation
of a head from its body.
BOTH SITUATIONS, the pronouncement says, are
fatal. The leader of the opposition also sharply attacked
Prime Minister Begin and the Jews. "Begin is no more
than the chieftain of a terrorist band, and Israel was
created to be a thorn in the side of the Arab world. The
Jews must know that on the day of our victory, when we
shall demolish their State, we do not intend to cast the
people into the sea. We will not slaughter them as they
have murdered us. We intend to enable them to live in a
Palestinian, Moslem, secular state under the leadership of
the PLO."
The call ends with a demand on President Sadat to
abandon the process of normalizing relations with Israel
and to recall the Egyptian Ambassador from Tel Aviv.

Major Stories Of
Outgoing Year 5740
By SHARYN PERLMAN
And ROBERT POLNER
During the year 5740
Israel found itself more iso-
lated in the international
community than ever be-
fore, deserted by almost all
its allies, except the United
States. Israel was under
severe and unremitting fire
in the United Nations by
the Arab- Third World-
Communist bloc for its
West Bank settlement
policies, the Jerusalem law,
and the Palestinian ques-
tion. Even the U.S. ab-
stained on resolutions con-
demning Israel rather than
casting a veto.
Adding to Israel's isolation
was the recognition given to the
Palestine Liberation Organiza-
tion by many countries, including
the nine-member European Eco
nomic Community, ai
"legitimate," "moderate" and
"peace-seeking." The world con-
ference of the UN Decade for
Women in Copenhagen,
originally conceived as an inter-
national forum to discuss the
status of women, was politicized
by pro-PLO, Arab and Third
World factions and disintegrated
into a barrage of anti-Israel
THROUGHOUT ail this, how-
ever, Israel and Egypt continued
to try to work out a plan for
autonomy on the West Bank and
the Gaza Strip within the frame-
work of the Camp David agree-
ments. Formal diplomatic ties
were established and the two
countries exchanged ambas-
sadors. Nevertheless, Egypt sus-
pended the autonomy talks, de-
manding "clarifications" from
Israel regarding Jerusalem and
the settlements. ,
By year's end, the autonomy
talks were on the verge of re-
suming again and a tripartite
summit meeting was on the
agenda after the Presidential
election in November.

American Seen
The United States was in the
throes of the Presidential election
campaign during most of the
year. Democrats and Republicans
sought to woo Jewish voters with
pledges to continue support for
Israel and not to recognize the
Palestine Liberation Organiza-
tion until it renounces terrorism
against Israel and accepts United
Nations Security Council Reso-
lutions 242 and 338. President
Carter came under increasing fire
from Jewish leaders for U.S.
abstentions in the United
Nations on anti-Israel
The Jewish community and its
leadership was preoccupied, in
addition to its traditional concern
for the security and well-being of
Israel, with such issues as Soviet
Jewry, Jews in Arab lands,
aiding Soviet Jews who
emigrated to this country, and
pressuring the Justice Depart-
ment to ferret out and prosecute
former Nazis living in this
country. The climax of this
pressure was the revocation of
U.S. citizenship of Rumanian
Archbishop Valerian Trifa.

that Abu Hatzeira and

The case took an unexpected
turn when Israel's two chief
rabbis stated that on religious
grounds one of the chief wit-

the case and had offered to turn

Shlomo Goren and Sephardic
Chief Rabbi Ovadia Yosef, whose
opinions were solicited
separately, both insisted that the
institution of state's evidence
was counter to Jewish religious
law. According to the chief
rabbis, by admitting his own
guilt, the witness disqualified
himself from giving acceptable
evidence against anyone else.
They cited Biblical and Tal-

Does Sadat Want Peace?
UN Stance to Tell Story
By DAVID HOROWITZ
(WUP) Israel's Foreign
Minister Yitzhak Shamir will
deliver Jerusalem's message in
this 35th General Assembly on
Monday, and the following day.
Syria is scheduled to speak as
well as Egypt. Now, it is not
difficult to guess what the
spokesman of Damascus will say.
It will be a radical pro-PLO, anti-
Israel cry.
The big question is Egypt. Will
Cairo's Foreign Minister Kama!
Hassan Ali stand firm on the
PLO again and repeat the anti-
Israeli stance as voiced by his
Minister of State Dr. Boutrus
Ghali during the Special
Emergency session here last
July? His address will bear close
watching. It should determine
President Sadat's true strategy
vis-a-vis Israel.
OF LATE, many questions
have arisen as to the Egyptian
President's sincerity. In a recent
Middle East Memo released by
the Conference of Presidents,
entitled "Sadat Tempts Fate,"
the concluding paragraph notes:
"If President Sadat expects that
every time he breaks off
negotiations he will get new
concessions from Washington, he
must be disabused of that notion.
The Egyptian leader must be
made to understand that there is
nothing to be gained by further
delay indeed he must be told
that he is tempting fate bv his on-
again, off-again attitude toward
negotiations. If Washington has
any influence left in Cairo that is
the message it must get across to
the Egyptian President."
Sadat's Strategy is the title of
a small 160-page paperback book
published by Dan Nim rod's
Dawn Publishing Company of
Quebec, Canada. The author is
Paul Eidelberg, an American
political scientist who is director
of the Institute for
Statesmanship in Jerusalem and
a visiting professor of political
science at Bar-Han and Hebrew
The book delves into the
background of Sadat's life and
discloses the past close links he
has had with Fascists and Nazis.
It cites his autobiography. In
Search of Identity, to point out
how his dual-nature and spirit
function. "If Sadat wants to
erase the consequences of Israel s
1948 War of Independence," Paul
Eidelberg states, "then his
ultimate objective is simply to
erase the State of Israel the
March, 1979 treat not-
WE ARE speculating," the
author goes on, "but the
peculiarities of Sadat's
autobiography, to say nothing of
the peculiarities, even con-
tradictions, of his other public
statements, require the most
earnest and careful speculation.
This is essentially so in view of

The action of the House,
Congressional sources told the
Jewish Telegraphic Agency, is to
help the Carter Administration
encourage other governments to
act against the Kuwaiti-Saudi
Arabian demands and block
majority support within the IMF
committee for entry by the PLO.
OILMAN'S resolution said,
"It is the policy of the United
States that the PLO should not
be given membership in the Fund
or be given observer status or
any other official status at any
meeting sponsored by or
associated with the Fund. The
U.S. executive director of the
Fund shall promptly notify the
Fund of such policy. In the event
that the Fund provides either
membership, observer status or
any other official status to the
PLO, such action would result in
a serious diminution of U.S.
I two-step strategy of peace-
making and war-making against
the democracies in the 1930's.
"Before considering the Nazi
model of conquest," Eidelberg
reminds us, "we should recall
that Sadat is trained in the art of
war. He has studied the great
master of military science, Carl
von Clauswitz. He knows that
'War is only a part of political
intercourse, therefore by no
means a thing in itself.' Hence it
is warfare carried out by
other means. Moreover, Sadat,
who taught himself German
while imprisoned by the British
in World War 11 for his pro-Nazi
activities, gives every evidence of
having closely studied Hitler's
diplomatic tactics and methods
of psychological warfare. The
Nazi model of conquest is a
peace-and-war strategy syn-
chronized to facilitate the
eventual destruction of the
enemy. ."
In his response to Sadat's
recent letter-appeal. Prime
Minister Menachem Begin was
blunt and forthright. He came
right to the point and challenged
the Egyptian leader. "Your
Minister of State of Foreign
Affairs, Dr. Boutrus Ghali,"
Begin told him following a most
friendly salutation, "pays visits
to African countries and
repeatedly influences their
governments not to renew
diplomatic relations with Israel.
Is not this unilateral action a
clear breach of the Egyptian-
Israeli peace treaty, which
stipulates: 'The parties shall seek
to foster mutual understanding
and tolerance and will, ac-
cordingly, abstain from hostile
propaganda against each
BEGIN FURTHER queries
Sadat: "If the Egyptian delegate
to the UN Emergency Special
Assembly votes for the most
hostile anti-Israeli resolution
since that other abominable
resolution was adopted in the
Assembly equating Zionism with
racism, is not this a unilateral act
of hostility contrary to the peace
treaty?. The Egyptian
delegate made a speech at the UN
in which he said, inter alia:
'Israel should withdraw to the
pre-June 5, 1967 lines, whether on
the West Bank, including East
Jerusalem, and the Gaza Strip.'
Where, Mr. President, is this
written in the Camp David
Prime Minister Begin then
cited two other points raised by
Sadat's UN delegate. These
were: Israels withdrawal
should be complete, including
that of its military forces, set-
tlements should be dismantled
and settlers removed.' Where is
this passage mentioned in the
Camp David agreement? Are
settlements mentioned at all in
the Camp David Accord? The
Palestinian people should
exercise, without any external
interference, the inalienable and
fundamental right to self-
determination, including the !
right to establish an independent
state on the West Bank and
"Thus, the Egyptian delegates

BEGIN THEN told Sadat that
it is his duty to bring his at-
tention to the anti-Israeli
propaganda contained in the
Egyptian press, propaganda
which had likened him, Begin, to
Hitler and to Shy lock, a press,
Begin emphasized, "which is not
free of Government influence."
On the issue of Jerusalem,
Begin wrote to Sadat: "You
assure me, Mr. President, that
you are for the unity of
Jerusalem, but in your speech at
the National Press Club in
Washington, you demanded that
'Eastern Jerusalem' be put under
Arab sovereignty. This is a
contradiction in terms. Two
sovereigns over one city mean its
re-partition. Impossible.
Jerusalem is and will be one,
under Israel's sovereignty, and

standards of the Israeli people
will be eroded.
"TERRORISM is a matter of
neither tactics not strategy for
Israelis," she explains. "It is a
moral issue and the condoning of
terrorism apparent in the world
press in recent years is seen as an
erosion of the moral standards of
what we call civilization."
She recalls with dismay the
bomb attacks on the West Bank

She concludes with the wa
ning that for the world to remajj

while denouncing Israeli
tremism "is merely to aggrava
the spiral of terrorism, to

and to inject despair into th

Construction to Begin on Marco Island Condos
That cliche about "real estate
being a hedge against inflation"
is more than a salesman's cry,
especially here Marco Island, on
Florida's southwest coast.
For the first five months of this
year, according to the Marco
Island Board of Realtors,
property and residences showed a
substantial average increase,
contrary to the national average.
Waterfront lots averaged
$42,098, compared to $34,500 for
the same period last year. Inland
$27,122, compared to $19,000 for
Average price of high and mid-
rise condominiums sold during
the first five months of this year
was $118,314, as against
$114,300 last year. Also, the
average price of garden con-
dominiums reflected an even
greater increase, from $66,500 in
1979, to $73,680 for the first five
months of this year.

There are today 95 books in all

$1 Million Gift
From Kuwait to Georgetown U.
By JOSEPH POLAKOFF
(JTA) Georgetown
University has accepted an
endowment of $1 million
from the government of
Kuwait for its Georgetown
Center for Contemporary
Arab Studies, which also is
being financed this year by
24 American corporations.
Wesley Christenson,
Georgetown's director of
public relations, told the
Jewish Telegraphic Agency
that the Kuwait endow-
ment has raised the total
contributed to the center by
eight Arab governments to
83,306,000 since its found-
ing in 1975.
"More than half the money"
for the center this year comes
trom American corporations,
while the Arab governments
contribute "less than half,"
Christenson said. The center, he
said, has a faculty of 22 members
and its student body consists of
only 38 undergraduate students.
KUWAIT'S contribution is the
largest yet given to the center.
Libya and the United Arab
Kmirates each have given
S750.000, the next highest gifts.
Jordan, Egypt, Saudi Arabia,
Qatar and Oman are the other
Arab states that have con-
tributed. Christenson said that
corporations that have con-
tributed include Allis Chalmers,
Texaco, Bechtel, Exxon, General
Motors, Ford, Chase Manhattan
Bank and Citibank.
At a ceremony last week at the
Kuwait Embassy, Georgetown
University President Timothy
Healy said the new gift is "a
generous act of philanthropy"
and that it "will significantly
strengthen our teaching in the
field of Arab studies and con-
tribute to the expansion of inter-
cultural education at the
A university statement said
that the Kuwait gift was to
establish an endowed professor-
ship at the Center for Con-
temporary Arab Affairs and
Public Policy. University officials
said Kuwait attached no con-
ditions to the gift and would not
participate in selections of the
professor under the endowment.
Christenson said "some Amer-
ican Jews and some Israelis" are
among the center's students.
BESIDES the Arab Center,
the university conducts a Middle
East studies program in which,
Christenson said, a visiting
Israeli professorship is a part.
Regular conferences on Israeli
economic and political affairs
have been held since 1967, and
more than 2,000 students have
taken courses there, he said. It
now has six undergraduate
courses on Judaic studies, some
of its students also go to Hebrew
University in Jerusalem, he
Much of the support for the
Israeli and Jewish studies,
Christenson said, comes from the
Herman Goldman Foundation in
New York and the Hyman Gold-
man family and the Goldman's
son, Aaron Goldman, of
Washington, D.C.
While Christenson said the
Arab Center is "very objective
and as balanced as any studies
program," Ira Silverman,
director of special programs for
the American Jewish Committee,
said the center has "a clearly
marked pro-Arab, anti-Israel bias
in its selection of curriculum
material, its faculty appoint-
ment, and speakers."
IN ACCEPTING so much
money from "political sponsors
of one point of view," Silverman
said, Georgetown "may be selling
something very precious to
Americans the integrity of its
universities." He said, "I recog-
nize efforts by by Georgetown to
enhance its Jewish studies
programs, and while I applaud
these efforts, they in no way
mitigate the political bias of the
Arab studies center."
The American Jewish Commit-
tee has previously criticized
Georgetown for accepting Arab
gifts. Eyebrows also were raised
by friends of Israel in the spring
of 1979 when the Arab Center
conducted a seminar on how to
win favor from the American
media for Arab perceptions. The
center is directed by Michael
Hudson, who frequently defends
Arab contentions regarding
Israel. He told JTA at the time of
the seminar that he obtained the
idea for it from a seminar in
Libya he had attended.
American Media represen-
tatives and others, mostly
supporters of Arab perceptions in
the Arab-Israeli situation, at-
tended the Libyan program.
Some who were in Libya par-
ticipated in the Georgetown
center's program which was
attended by an audience that
appeared predominantly sym-
pathetic to the Palestine Lib-
eration Organization and against

Kuwait, with a large number of
Palestinian Arabs in key
positions in its government and

vociferous enemies of Israel and

officially described by the State
Department as a "terrorist"

Libyan President Moammar Qaddafi (left) and Syr
President Hafiz Asad have agreed on a merger of their
nations with a prime target as a 'jihad' (holy war) ago,

thi' union, he would go to fight as a Palestinian guerrilla,
previous attempts at mergers, first with Egypt and lati
Tunisia, were unsuccessful. The unification move is all the i
important now that Iraq and Iran are officially ui war in [I
