Rabbi Feldman New Presidi
Southeast Rabbinical Associatfdn
Rabbi Theodore Feldman,
spiritual leader of Congregation
B'nai Torah in Boca Raton, was
recently elected as the new Presi-
dent of the Southeast Rabbinical
Association, at the annual
conference in New York.
The Rabbinical Association is
an international association of
[conservative rabbis which
lop? and maintains high
in the rabbinate, and
rights of rnbbis in
1 regard to benefits contracts.
Rabbi Feldman was addi-
ppointed to the Rabbi-
I n of the Movement for
iMesorat .Judaism in Israel.
According to Rabbi Feldman,

.Southeast Rabbinical Asso-
ciation, he will continue to foster

sponsor educational programs in
area synagogues, and help
maintain good ties between
congregations and their rabbis.
In the two short years he has
resided in this community, Rabbi
Feldman has carved out a leader-
ship role within the South
County Jewish Community. He
is the Chairman of Jewish Family
and Children's Service, a Board
member of the South County
Jewish Federation, and is the
Chaplain and Board member of
the Adolph and Rose Lev is
Jewish Community Center.
Rabbi Bruce S. Warshal,
Executive Director of the South
County Jewish Federation, said,
"There are many kinds of Jewish
leaders, but the most important
and effective are those with an
exceedingly broad perspective.
-Rabbi Ted Feldman fits this
definition. He is not merely the
spiritual leader of Congregation
B'nai Torah, he is a leader
throughout this entire Jewish
"I am not surprised that he has
been elected President of the
Southeast region of the Rab-
binical Association. His fellow
rabbis perceive his leadership
qualities as clearly as we do in his
home community."
Chiles Fasts In Support of Jewish

To emphasize his concern

"As the Union of Councils for

During 29 years of Labor rule,
and the subsequent seven years
of Likud administration, neither
party has ever been able to
muster an overall majority of 61
Knesset seats. Thus, smaller
parties have constituted a vtial
ingredient in coalition govern-
ments, often holding the balance
of power and able, therefore, to
exercise far more influence than
warranted by their relatively few
Knesset seats.
WHEN THE current Knesset
was dissolved, the Labor Align-
ment held 60 seats, and the Likud
only 46. Yet the Likud ruled
because moat of the smaller
parties preferred to support it,
rather than Labor. The power of
the smaller factions was most
forcefully expressed over the
years by the four-man ultra-
Orthodox Agudat Israel faction.
It was emphasised when the
three-man Tami grouping with-
drew its backing of the Likud,
forcing the Jury election.

unprecedented censorship
of the names of alleged
members of a Jewish ter-
rorist underground on trial
here came to a halt Mon-
day, when Judge Israel
Weiner finally permitted
release of the names.
Lawyers for the defense had
argued that publishing the names
might well lead to Arab reprisals
against the defendants' families
for their alleged roles in a variety
of terrorist acts, among them:
slaying three Arab students and
wounding 33 others in an attack
on a West Bank college;
accusation against 14 Jews for
complicity in attempted murder
of three Arab mayors of West
Bank cities; charges against 16
members of the Jewish under-
ground for plotting to blow up
the Dome of the Rock shrine in
Jerusalem, one of the holiest aitee
in Islam.
ACCORDING TO the list of
names released Monday, one of
the alleged ring leaders is
Menachem Livni, 26, a
commander in the Israel Defense
Forces. He is charged with pre-
meditated murder in the deaths
of the Arab students and
attempted murder in the car-
bomb attacks on the West Bank
Livni's hometown is Kiryat
Arba, a Jewish settlement near
Hebron, and he has been identi-
fied as the center of the terrorist
underground. Also identified as
among those suspected of
attempted murder in the attacks
on the Arab mayors is Moshe
Zar, 47, an active Jewish settle-
ment builder on the West Bank.

The organization attributes the
decline in relations to a "deli-
berate long-term policy" of the
Egyptian government that is
designed to return Egypt to the
Arab fold.
The AJCongress report
accuses the Mubarak govern-
ment of a growing number of
violations of the Egyptian-Israeli
peace treaty. It contends that
Egypt has merely seized on
Israeli policies as opportunities
for indulging in anti- Israel
propaganda and other negative
acts in order to prove its loyalty
to the Arab cause.
THE REPORT, entitled "The
Decline in Egyptian-Israel Rela-
tions," was prepared by Raphael
Danziger. international affairs
policy analyst, and Phil Baum.
associate executive director, of
AJCongress. It was released by
Theodore R. Mann, president of
the nationwide organization.
Characterizing Egypt's actions
in impairing its relations with
Israel as "deeply troubling." the
seven-page report warns that the
negative momentum'' created
by the Mubarak government
might eventually imperil the
Egyptian-Israeli peace itself.
The AJCongress position
paper contends that the "long
list" of Egyptian transgressions
is a cause for particular concern
because "they have been almost
entirely one-sided." The Israelis,
on the other hand, have carefully
avoided anv retaliation in kind
letter." As an agreement
establishing peace between two
former enemies, it is "nearly
intact" says the AJCongress
analysis. But because of Egypt's
deliberate violations designed to
appease the Arab states, the
treaty has failed to live up to its
original expectations of serving
as a vehicle for friendship and
cooperation between the two
The report declares that the
most serious Egyptian breach
since the signing of the peace
treaty has been the Mubarak
government's recall of the Egyp-
tian Ambassador from Tel Aviv
in September 1982 and its refusal
to allow him to return, despite
explicit promises to do so.

tional violations:

'Rut Won't Be Effective9
Shamir Suggests UNIFIL Buffer
News in Brief
By JTA Services
TEL AVIV Premier Yitzhak
Shamir has proposed that troops
of the United Nations Interim
Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) be
deployed as a buffer between the
Israel Defense Force and the
Syrian army in the Bekaa valley
of eastern Lebanon. But UN Sec-
retary General Javier Perez de
Cuellar, who was in Lebanon
Sunday on his Middle East tour
and in Israel Monday, doesn't
think much of that idea.
Shamir said on an Israel Radio
interview that he would offer his
suggestion to de Cuellar when
they met. He maintained that
UNIFIL, while not effective in
preventing terrorist infiltrators
from attacking Israeli border
towns from Lebanon could be
employed as an international
force separating two regular
Perez de Cuellar told an Israel
Radio reporter in south Lebanon
that UNIFIL could not be de-
ployed in the manner proposed
by Shamir. He suggested instead
that the UN troops take up posi-
tions to be evacuated by Israeli
forces in south Lebanon. Israel is
not, at the moment, contemplat-
ing further withdrawals in south
Lebanon. The UN Secretary
General said UNIFIL could be
enlarged only if the contributing
countries increased the size of
their contingents.
Joint U.S.-lsrael Aid
Program Seeks Backers
WASHINGTON A House
subcommittee was urged to
support proposed legislation for
future joint United States-Israeli
development assistance projects
in Third World countries since
"the results should be an en-
hancement of the human condi-
tion at a very modest cost to the
United States.'1
"Considerable benefit will re-
bound to Israel, developing Third
World nations, and the United
States, potentially establishing a
model for trilateral development
assistance and cooperation for
other nations to follow," said Dr.
Jeffrey James, an adjunct profes-
sor at the American University
here, with wide experience in
development assistance in Third
World countries.
James testified last Thursday
along with two other experts on
the subject before the House
Foreign Affairs Committee's
subcommittee on Europe and the
Middle East. The proposed $20
million joint project is ained at
programs in Black African and
Central American nations.

derogatory statements on West
Bank Arabs have angered more
Liberal circles. The ex-soldier is
not Orthodox, and it should be
remembered that many believers
in a "Greater Israel" share the
concept with Orthodox people,
but are not themselves religious.
On the extreme right is the
Kach Party of Rabbi Meir

founder of the Jewish Defense
League. Kahane espuses outright
deportation of Arabs who won't
toe his line, and would like to
introduce laws forbidding sexual
relationships between Arabs and

single seat. One leading Israeli
jurist has expressed the view that
an Israeli wanting to apply the
Nuremberg race laws to the
Arabs has no right to ran in
democratic elections.
Over on the left, the Israel
Communist Party and its allies
(the "Hadash" list) currently
holds four seats. Gleaning much
of its support from Iraeli Arabs,
the party toes the Soviet line (at
a time when many European
Communist parties are inclined
to distance themselves from
Moscow's views). Its traditional
anti-Zionist line repels Jewish
votes, but though Israeli Com-
munists suffered many splits
over the years, its present
standard-bearer represents a
aewningly stable constituency
which is very active in the
On the Zionist Left. Shulamit
Aloni's Citizens Rights Move-
ment, which has only her own
seat in the present Knesset, is
running a list whose top three
include Aloni herself in first
place, and doveish personalities
like Mordechai Bar-On and Sheli
leader Ran Cohen (Sheli has no
place in the present Knesset).
The CRM takes a strong line
against religious incursion into
the civil rights of Israel's secular
majority (and its platform
naturally contains strong doveish
sentiments). A maverick on the
left is Lova Eliav. a former
secretary-general of the Labor
Party, and Sheli leader, now
peeved that Labor will not grant
him the chance of a Knesset seat.
THE CENTER has its
mavericks too. Former Likud
Defense Minister Eaer Weizman
is offering the electorate his
Yachad (Together) Party, a
grouping which has been
compared by observe! a to the
defunct Democratic Movement
for Change, which did well in the
Ninth Knees at. under archaeo-
logist Yigael Yadin. now retired
from active politics.
Weizman. one the more
popular and credible (some say
charismatic) figures in Israeli
politics, has a good record ae an
Air Force commander and
Defense Minister, hot it remains
to be seen whether the voters will
see has as a viable alternative to
the larger parties. The other
major champion of the
the Shinui party, with two I

tion as parliamentarian and
This proliferation of parties is
encouraged by Israel's system of
proportional representation,
through which the country
becomes one vast constituency
on election day, with the 120
Knesset seats divided out
according to the votes cast for
each party. Thus a party can gain
a foothold in the Knesset by
winning a modest 0.83 percent of
the vote. or. in other words,
gaining about 17,000 ballots.
THE SYSTEM has both its
supporters and critics. Political
scientist Hanoch Smith feels that
the status quo allows Israel's
diverse ethnic and religious
groups to best express them-
selves in a pluralistic society. He
considers the coalition horse-
trading and haggling as appeal-
ing to the Jewish temperament
and asserts that despite n.ese
coalitions Israel has historically
had strong governments.
Opponents of the system, like
the Committee of Concerned
Citizens, founded by President
Chaim Herzog before he became
Head of State, argue that succes-
sive Israeli governments have
been weakened and blackmailed
by tiny minority factions. They
would like to see a system of
individual constituencies as in
America and Britain. Other less
radical suggestions include a
minimum percentage, possibly 3
percent or 5 percent below which
a party would not be entitled to
representation in the Knesset.
But debate and conjecture
aside, the system remains as it is
for the July election. Bearing in
mind that most of the 30
contending groups and parties
are themselves divided into
several factions, it seems that the
old adage holds some truth -
find two Jews and they'll have
three opinions. Depending upon
their viewpoints, Israelis either
condemn this splinter-group
mentality as weakening Israel's
basic unity or praise it as a source
of strength within a pluralistic
and democratic setting.
RECENTLY, there was, in
fact, a demonstration outside the
Knesset in favor of changing the
electoral system. Though the
demonstration may have been
right and they may still be
proven to be right, in the long run
it is other issues like galloping
inflation, the Lebanese War. and
the future of Israel (border and
peace prospects) which now
dominate the public eye.
It looks as if it is above all on
these issues that the electorate
will decide between the two mam
blocs. Likud and Labor, and the
smaller parties competing tor
votes on July 23. And though the
politicians say every election m
crucial, this time the voters seem
to have the same feeling. Again,
how this will influence the ballot
is anyone's guess.

Labor Unrest Triggers First
Major Pre-Election Struggle
By HUGH ORGEL
TEL AVIV (JTA) The
surge of labor unrest sweeping
Israel this week has triggered the

U.S. Urged to Push Paraguay To Extradite Mengele
By KEVIN FREEMAN
Nazi-hunter Simon Wiesen-
thal has urged the United
States to press the govern-
ment of Paraguay to locate
and extradite Joseph Men-
gele, the notorious Nazi war
criminal dubbed the "angel
of death" for his crusade
and inhumane experiments
on inmates at the
Auschwitz death camp dur-
ing World War II.
Wiesenthal also told a news
conference here that the 73-year-
old Mengele. responsible for the
deaths of some 400.000 Jews, was
sighted in Paraguay as recently
as six months ago. Mengele lived
at the Astra Hotel in the
Mennonite Village of Valendam.
Wiesenthal said.
JOINING Wiesenthal was
Rep. Stephen Solarz (D.. N.Y.).
whose proposed amendment
seeking to link future U.S.
military aid to Paraguay to that
governments cooperation in
apprehending Mengele passed
the House and awaits
consideration in the Senate. The
Paraguayan government of
President Alfredo Stroessner has
maintained in recent years that it
has no knowledge of the where-
abouts of Mengele.
Nevertheless, he is believed to
have been living in Paraguay
since 1959 and held citizenship of
that country. In 1979. under stiff
international pressure, the South
American country revoked
Mengele's citizenship.
Solarz said Paraguay s
inaction to act on the Mengele
issue constituted an "untenable
situation." He asserted that a
special effort by the U.S. was
justified in this case because
Mengele's crimes "were in a
category all by themselves." and
that an American initiative was
in keeping within the United
States' commitment to the ideals
of justice, a concept Solarz said is
degraded by Mengele's "success-
ful evasion of the bar of justice."
WIESENTHAL. who is based
in Vienna, also provided
documents, some purportedly
signed by Mengele. which
described experiments he ordered
to be carried out on Jewish and
gypsy children. The 75-year-old
Wiesenthal also detailed the
history of his pursuit of Mengele
from his stay in Argentina to his
continued presence in Paraguay.
A victim of Mengele's experi
meats. 52-year-old Marc
Berkowitx, one of a set of
hundreds of twins the Nazi war
criminal experimented on at
Auschwitz, was present at the
news conference. "Mengele was
the greatest criminal of all Jme."
"Let the world not forget that
even those few children who
survived, have never been able to
physically or emotionally recover
from their ordeals," Berkowitz
said. "I urge that every effort be
made to locate each of the
survivors of these unspeakable
experiments with the hope that
some of the victims might be
helped as a result of recent
medical advances."
The Union of American
Hebrew Congregations has an-
nounced that Temple Beth El of
Boca Raton will serve as a field
site for testing the Junior High
School Guidelines of its National
Curriculum Project.
The UAHC is the coordinating
agency for over 782 Reform syna-
gogues serving liberal Jews
throughout the United States
and Canada.
The curriculum project,
directed by Rabbi Howard L.
Bogot, has been entitled "To See
the World Through Jewish
Eyes." The project highlights
Jewish functional skills, perspec-
tives on self and others, insights
from classic texts, continuity and
change, as well as creative
thinking, experience and expres-
This past year Temple Beth El
used the experimental edition of
the Junior High segment of the
curriculum in grade seven. Some
of the students evaluations
included the following
comments: "Skits were fun to
do." "I thought the most inter-
esting discussion was about the
shrinking number of Jews in the
U.S." "This was the best class
because we could be honest and
really talk about our thought*
and fears."
This coming year Tenth Grafe
students, teachers and parent,
under the guidance of Rabbi
Merle E. Singer and Field Tea
Site Coordinator B^
Eisenberg will conduct a year-
long study of specially designed
sequenced learning objectives
and activities. Based on the
evaluation of the field site on
these activities, the curriculum
will be published for the High
School in September, 1985.

Trees Memorialize Civil Rights Leader
Friday, June 29, 1984 /The Jewish Floridian of South County Page 7
A stand of trees has been
planted in Israel in memory of
Clarence Mitchell, the civil rights
leader who died Mar. 14 in
Baltimore. The trees are located
in the Jewish National Fund's
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Memorial Forest whose honorary
sponsors include every Black and
Jewish member of Congress.
A longtime supporter of
Israel, Mitchell was a member of
the U.S. delegation to the United
Nations in November, 1975, when
the "Zionism is racism" resolu-
tion was passed. He fought
vigorously against the resolution
which was sponsored by the Arab
states and their allies in the
General Assembly. Mitchell also
served as a leading speaker at a
New York rally called to protest
the UN action.
Following Mitchell's death,
Chaim Herzog, Israel's
President, sent a personal
message of condolence to Mrs.
Juanita Mitchell, expressing bis
sympathy and deep appreciation
for her husband's friendship and
active support for Israel.

Relations Between Israel. Austria
Described as 'Very Cordial'
(JTA) Relations be-
tween Austria and Israel
were described as very
cordial by Austrian Defen-
se Minister Friedhelm
Frischenschlager during a
reception for a delegation
of Jewish members of
Congress hosted jointly by
the International Council
of B'nai B'rith and the
World Jewish Congress.
Frischenschlager's description
of Austrian-Israeli relations
contrasted to the previously
stormy relationship between the
two countries during the
incumbency of former Austrian
Chancellor Bruno Kreisky.
Relations were severely strained
during Kreisky's leadership
because of the Chancellor's
courtship of Yaair Arafat, the
head of the Palestine Liberation
THE AUSTRIAN Defense
Minister also pointed out that
Austria presently maintains the
largest contingency of troops
stationed in the Golan Heights as
part of the United Nation* peace-
keeping force. Frischenschlager
was on a two-week visit to the
U.S. at the invitation of Defense
Secretary Caspar Weinberger.
Warren Eisenberg, director of
the International Council of B'nai
B'rith, said that Frischensch-
lager's visit underscored the
significant humanitarian role
Austria plays in providing a safe
haven and point of exchange for
Jews emigrating from the Soviet
Union. This is the first visit by an
Austrian Defense Minister to the
U.S. in 12 years.

New Record in Efforts for Israel
Relations between the United
States and Israel have never been
better, Israel Defense Minister
Moshe Arens declared at an 80th
birthday dinner which honored
Jack D. Weiler, of New York and
Delray Beach, the noted
American Jewish leader, for his
more than 40 years of service to
Israel and world Jewry in New
York last week.
"This partnership between the
United States and Israel," Mr.
Arens told the 500 U.S. Jewish
leaders who attended the
dinner," this common effort,
sustains the modern-day miracle
that is Israel. It will make Israel
strong and safe. It will bring
peace to Israel."
Max M. Fisher of Detroit,
Chairman of the Jewish Agency
for Israel for the past 12 years
and a former Special Advisor to
Presidents Nixon and Ford,
served as Dinner Chairman. He
announced that a record total of
$81 million in Israel Bonds and
other Bond Organization securi-
ties had been purchased in honor
of Mr. Weiler's 80th birthday by
members of the President's Club,
the international honor society of
Bond purchasers which is headed
by Mr. Weiler.
Mr. Fisher described the event
as one of the most successful
dinners in the history of efforts
for Israel.
In a telegram to the dinner
from the White House, President
Reagan lauded Mr. Weiler's
many years of service.
"I've often wondered where
this country would be were it not
for the efforts of caring men and
women like you," the President
Israel Prime Minister Yitzhak
Shamir and President Chaim
Herzog also cabled warm
congratulatory messages to Mr.
Major purchases were made by

Censorship Halted As Trial Opens
Continued from Page 1
and commotion when friends and
relatives of the accused objected
to the presence of an Arab attor-
ney representing the wounded
mayors in the car bomb attack.
IN AN editorial Monday, the
Israeli newspaper, Al Hamish-
mar, declared: "They demanded
the attorney's removal because
he is 'an Arab,' because he is
'apparently a member of the
PLO' The racism which
erupted in the courtroom is the
same racism which nurtured the
Jewish underground, and it still
moves about freely in Israeli
All in all, 22 suspected mem-
bers of the Jewish terrorist
underground went on trial in the
Jerusalem district court. Six are
charged with the murder of three
Arab students at the Islamic
College in Hebron in July, 1983
and all face various counts of
attempted murder, acts of
violence and planned acts of
violence against Arabs on the
West Bank and East Jerusalem.
Of the original 27 suspects
indicted on a variety of charges,
two were convicted last Thursday
after confessing to lesser
offenses. They are Gilad Peli, 31,
of Moshav Keshet on the Golan
Heights, and Yosef Zuria, 25, of
Ramat Hasharon.
TWO ARMY officers, Maj.
Shlomo Levytan and Capt. Ronni
Gilla, pleaded not guilty to
charges of complicity in the June,
1980 car bombings that maimed
two West Bank Arab mayors.
They will be tried separately.
Another suspect, Noam Yinnon
of Moshav Keshet, has already
been sentenced to 18 months in
prison at a separate trial.
He pleaded guilty to illegal
possession of explosives and
transporting explosives, in
exchange for which the State
dropped charges of attempted
The proceedings began in an
emotion-charged atmosphere.
The small courtroom was packed
with family and friends of the
accused. The latter charged the
media with a "wild smear
campaign" and "incitement,"
claiming that this precluded a
fair trial. One defense lawyer
demanded that the case be
dismissed for that reason alone.
Others asked for a postponement.
Chief prosecutor Dorit Beinish
said she had no objections to a
postponement until after the
summer recess which would delay
the trial until after the July 23
Knesset elections. The judge said
he would rule on the motion at a
lter date.
broke out even before the judge
entered the courtroom Sunday
when relatives of the accused
objected to the presence of the
Arab lawyer, Ali Sabri. He
represents former Mayor Bassam
Shaka of Nablus, who lost both
legs in the 1980 car bombing.
Sabri was given permission to
attend the trial as an observer
because Shaka is considering a
damage suit against the parties
responsible for booby-trapping
his car.
Relatives of the accused who
'demanded the removal of the
"representative of the PLO" was
put in the form of a motion by
defense counsel Yosef Yeshurun.
It was rejected by Judge Yaacov
Bazak who noted that this is an
open trial.
The cases of Peli and Zuria
were disposed of quickly last
Thursday as a result of their plea
bargaining. Peli was convicted on
charges of membership in a
terrorist organization. He plead-
ed guilty, in addition, to three
counts of conspiracy which
included conspiracy to cause
grievous bodily harm and to
attack the Dome of the Rock and
the Al Aksa Mosque. He also
pleaded guilty to illegal posses-
sion and transportation of weap-
ons and da mag ling army
PELI WAS expected to be
sentenced on Thursday. The
count of terrorism alone carries a
maximum sentence of 20 years
imprisonment. The original
charge of attempted murder was
dropped. His lawyer stressed to
the court that Peli did not partic-
ipate in terrorist activities,
although he was involved in the
preparations for the planned
assault on the Temple Mount and
the attacks on Mayors Shaka and
Karim Khallaf of Ramallah four
years ago.
Peli, a secular Jew who turned
to religion after 1973 Yom Kippur
War, told the court that his
actions stemmed from a deep
conviction that he was serving
the best interests of his country
and people.
He expressed remorse only for
having stolen weapons from the
Israel Defense Force. Peli is
married, the father of two
children. He joined Moshav
Keshet on the Golan Heights
after the 1973 war and worked in
the local school.
ZURIA WAS convicted of
conspiracy to attack the Temple
Mount, illegal possession of arms
and aggravated fraud, to all of
which he confessed. Impersonat-
ing an army officer, he had
conducted surveillance on the
Temple Mount and purchased
eight silencers for Uzi sub-
machineguns which were to be
used in the attack on the Dome of
the Rock.
He is the son of Haim Zuria of
Shavei Shomron on the West
Bank and had lived in Ofra on the
West Bank until two years ago
when he married Anat Shalev,
daughter of Avner Shalev, a
senior official of the Ministry of
Education and Culture and a
former chief education officer of
the IDF.
After his marriage, he moved
to Ramat Hasharon in Israel. He
studied mathematics and
computer science at Bar Illan
University. Zuria's wife gave
birth to a daughter two weeks
ago. He has been in custody and
has not yet seen the child.

Israel Bonds New Leadership
Division Home Forum A Success
The New Leadership Division
of State of Israel Bonds recently
hosted a most successful forum
at the home of Dr. and Mrs. Wil-
liam Boothe. Thirty-five enthu-
siastic participants enjoyed an
evening, meeting new people,
sampling Israeli food, and
listening to speaker Ehud Gol,
Israel Consul of Information.
Mr. Gol addressed the group
on several important issues
facing Israel. The most pressing
issue, according to Gol, is the up-
coming elections on July 23
because the winning party will
have to deal with the economy
and the ever-increasing inflation
rate. The polls show the Labor
Party ahead, but Gol feels Labor
and Likud will form a govern-
ment of national unity and
together attack the economic
issue. "Although one-third of
Israel's GNP is devoted to
defense, an increase in produc-
tivity will help balance the
economy," said Gol.
New Leadership is a newly-
formed division of State of Israel
Bonds in South County. The
group, made up of people who
share a concern about Israel's
survival, plans to accentuate the
educational and social aspects of
a networking system.
Participating on the board are:
Bill and Shelly Boothe. Stephen
and Gail Asarch. Marcia Needle,
Susan Shulz, Shelly and Renee
Stein, and Ken and Asti Stern.

Kahane's Kach List
Banned from Elections
By GIL SEDAN
The Central Elections
Committee voted 18-10
Monday to bar Rabbi Meir
Kahane's extreme right-
wing Kach list from
participating in the July
23 Knesset elections.
There were seven absten-
The decision was the first time
in Israel's history that a Jewish
political faction was banned from
an election. An Arab "Socialist
List" was banned 19years ago on
grounds that its objective was to
undermine the existence of the
State. Supreme Court Justice
Gavriel Back, chairman of the
Elections Committee, maintained
that Kahane's list undermines
the principles of democracy itself.
Kahane said he would appeal the
decision to the Supreme Court.
THE RULING against Kach
indicated to some observers that
the Elections Committee will also
bar the Arab-Jewish
"Progressive List for Peace"
which calls in its platform for
creation of a Palestinian state
alongside Israel reduced to its
pre-June 1967 borders. The list is
headed by an Arab nationalist
attorney, Mohammed Miari. and
its second spot is occupied by
Gen. (res.I Mattityahu Peled,
long active in the Israeli peace
The Committee is scheduled to
begin consideration of the "Pro-
gressive List" application later.
It is strongly opposed by the
Likud, Tehiya and other
members of the Committee. The
attitude of the Labor Alignment
is not certain. Defense Minister
Moshe Arena has declined to'
outlaw the list, although he may
under the law on national
security grounds.
Tehiya MK Geula Cohen
claimed that, "If we do not ban
the list, the PLO will have for the
first time a representative in the
Knesset." Miari was on the j
"Socialist List" banned nearly I
two decades ago.
THE BID by Kach was sup-!
ported by Tehiya, the National
Religious Party, Aguda Israel
and Tami, all members of the
Likud-led coalition. It was
opposed by the Labor Alignment, i
Shinui, Civil Rights Movement,
and the Communist Party, Likud
was split. Some supported Kachl
but six abstained.
Bach denounced the Kach liatl
after hearing testimony from I
Kahane. The American-born]
rabbi who founded the Jewish;
Defense League convinced him/
that he should not be alllowed to I
run in the Knesset elections!
Bach said.
He cited Kahane's description!
of Israel's Declaration of ln-1
dependence granting equal rightil
to all citizens as a "schizophrenic!
document" and his call for the!
deportation from Israel of thel
Arab, Druze and Circassian!
"ONLY IN VERY extreme!
cases should one ban a list)
because it is a basic democratic [
right to allow the expression oil
views, even those which arede-f
testable," Bach said. However,
the line must be drawn some-l
where. "If a man such as Kenane!
enters the Knesset and enjoys!
immunity, anti-Semites through
out the world will no longer!
need the Protocols of the|
Elders of Zion."

'Silent no more'
OSIP LOKSHIN was released
on schedule from a three year
labor camp term. Sentenced for
"violating public order" and
"defaming the Soviet state," the
41-year-old lawyer from Kishinev
was sentenced with VLADIMIR
TSUKERMAN after protesting
the authorities' refusal of their
exit visas to Israel. Lokshin and
Tsukerman, who completed his
term several weeks ago, have
been waiting with their families
over five years for permission to
emigrate to Israel.
Calling the current rate of
departures "disastrous" and
"threatening," ten refuseniks
called for a "precise agreement"
with the Soviet Union on the
"unhindered repatriation of
Soviet Jews to Israel." In their
petition, the signatories, who
have been struggling for over ten
years to live in Israel "with our
own people and our parted
families," stressed that if
repatriation is denied to them
and others "the Jewish com-
munity in the Soviet Union
would be in danger ... of total
disappearance" as a distinct
cultural and religious group.
Signing were ARKADY MAI
, and his wife HELEN SEIDEL,
STOLAR, NAUM KOGAN and
LEV OVSISHCHER, all of
Moscow, along with ISAI
GOLDSHTEIN and his brother
GRIGORY of Tbilisi, and
DMITRY GOLENKO of

accused of "disseminating
Zionism's racialist ideology" in
Ian official Soviet English
llanguage journal, published in
I London. The lengthy attack,
which appeared in a May issue of
ISoi'tef Weekly, claimed that
iBegun "engaged in deliberate
libel/' incited "national strife,"
land fermented "anti-Sovietism."
Aimed at Western readers, the
fciece appears to be a reaction to
the extensive criticism generated
by his trial last October.
Meanwhile. INNA BEGUN

earlier, she received a reply

Appearing on behalf of the
NCSJ before the Senate Foreign
Relations Committee, Yuli
Tartakovsky, a Kiev-born Jew
who emigrated in 1975, asserted
that, "Under present conditions,
there is no future for Jews who

Organizations In The News
An urgent appeal was received
from Diana Rozhansky-Yashchin
in Israel, on behalf of her parents,
EMANUEL and GALINA
YASHCHIN, and brother,
GRIGORY. Together with his
wife, Dr. Yashchin has been a
refusenik since 1981. A physicist
and former student of Benjamin
Fain, who now lives in Israel,
Yashchin was demoted from his
post as a senior researcher at the
Solid State Physics Institute in
the town of Chernogolovka
shortly after his first refusal. He
was subsequently dismissed. A
few months ago he was again
refused, despite the fact that at
least 15 other families working at
the same institute were permitted
to leave for Israel. "If the Soviet
Union is serious regarding its
intention about the reunification
of families," Diana wrote, "surely
our family merits some
immediate action." She noted
that she and her four year-old son
are "the closest persons for them
in the entire world."
Over 240 members of the
European Parliament signed a
formal document of concern over
the persecution of Soviet Jews.
Entitled "Declaration on the
Treatment of Jews in the USSR,"
it expressed hope that the USSR
would honor its commitment
under the Helsinki agreement to
guarantee basic human rights,
and called for the easing of
tension between East and West.
The document will be sent to
Konstantin Chernenko, the
leaders of the ten members of the
European Economic Community,
and UN Secretary-General Javier
Perez de Cuellar.
An appeal on behalf of impri-
soned Soviet Jews is also being
circulated among members of
Parliament from 15 European
countries. Drafted by the Inter-
parliamentary European
Conference, it will be presented to
various Soviet embassies, and
has already been signed by 300
members of the Swedish Parlia-
ment. As a follow up, an Inter-
parliamentary Conference for
Soviet Jews will convene in
London on July 3.

Do Interior Architectural Photos Infringe?
What's at issue? You're correct about the right to shoot exterior views. We don't believe interiors, even if publicly viewable, would be covered by that exception. Unfortunately, we haven't located a case that distinguishes photos of the interior of a publicly viewable home from the exterior and that's what makes us unable to reach a more definitive conclusion. It's possible that the photographic uses of the interiors -- the real estate agent's promotion of the house sale -- would be considered permissible either under an implied license (they're essential for selling the house which we assume was everyone's goal), or possibly for purposes of fair use (the objective was to sell the house, not the images). As for further use of the photographs beyond the sale, ultimately it's going to come down to (1) whether your interiors are sufficiently original to merit copyright protection -- that is, whether the layout of the rooms goes beyond "standard configurations," (2) what elements (unprotected) are "functional elements whose design or placement is dictated by utilitarian concerns," and (3) whether the photographs of the interior reveal enough information to infringe the architectural plans or designs. Simply showing the kitchen, or bedroom, for example is unlikely by itself to constitute an infringement; you'll need to show that the combined effect of the photos is an infringement of several elements of the design. This legal article may help explain in more detail.
BTW Dept. If you're looking for more information on the law and photography we like Carolyn Wright's blog.

Thanks for the very insightful comments! To clarify somewhat, my concern is not so much with the real estate agent's likely fair use of a photos/video tour, as much as with the photographer's potentially derivative work marketed for profit. (And it is especially galling to be offered an unauthorized derivative copy of one's own work for a price.)
I am quite surprised that this issue has not come up before; there is a huge real estate photography industry which is profiting from potentially copyrighted works.
Also, I was under the impression that private interiors were not covered under the public domain exception to the AWCPA. In fact, you have alluded to this before on this blog: http://dearrichblog.blogspot.com/2008/12/who-owns-copyright-in-apartment-photos.html Could you clarify?

Right, we did contradict a previous entry and we've corrected it. Interiors shouldn't be covered by the exception. So, maybe we 're reading too much into it, but we've started wondering if the language of the act -- "if the building in which the work is embodied is located in or ordinarily visible from a public place" – is not clear about publicly viewable interiors. Not to be too lawyerly, but can someone – assuming there are no license restrictions and privacy violations – reproduce photos of a copyrighted interior of a public library, or a bank, or even a home open to the public? Alas, there just aren't many architectural works cases. An interesting one is discussed here, though it's not on point re: interiors: http://williampatry.blogspot.com/2007/05/pictures-of-architectural-works.html

. I am a professional photographer that recently moved away from fashion and commercial photography to artistic photography. Currently I have a show in Wynwood Miami called "Concrete Perspective" the show is composed of highly manipulated images of several structures among them the notable Miami's 1111 Lincoln Road parking lot. The property managers have recently sent me letters claiming I have infringed on their Copyright- Teademark and Patent rights. Seems quite far reaching as I cannot even think of how an artistic limited edition of three can do all that.
What do you think??

New-car sales in Europe are expected to decline about 5 percent to 7 percent this year, but they are off to an even worse start in the first two months.
In February, sales fell 9.2 percent to 923,381 in the EU plus Switzerland, Norway and Iceland compared with the same month in 2011, according to industry association ACEA.
The February decline was steeper than January's 6.6 percent drop. In the first two months, European sales are down by 7.8 percent to 1.93 million units, equivalent to 164,000 customers lost in the period.
Kia and Chevrolet were the only two mass-market brands that showed strong growth last month. Kia's volume rose 31.4 percent to 22,610. Chevrolet sales were up 17.3 percent to 15,248. Both brands sell low-priced cars largely built in South Korea.
Is the eurozone crisis creating a market where only cheap models win buyers?
Not exactly. Sales at Renault's Romanian subsidiary Dacia, which sells low-cost, no-frills cars were down by 5.4 percent to 17,684 in February.
Moreover, the three brands which showed biggest sales gains last month were not low-cost marques.
- Lexus increased sales by 72 percent to 1,627, thanks to the CT 200h entry-premium hybrid car, which starts at about 30,000 euros.
- Land Rover's volume rise of 69.8 percent to 6,111 was fueled by booming sales of the Evoque medium-premium SUV, which starts at 38,000 euros.
- Jeep sales grew 58.1 percent to 2,257, pushed by its most expensive model, the 45,000-euro Grand Cherokee large-premium SUV, which tripled sales in the month.
All European volume brands lost ground in February, mostly mirroring the performance of their domestic market.
Volkswagen brand fell by 1.2 percent to 119,130. The flat German market helped limit the decline. As sales dropped in the rest of Europe, VW increased its European share by 1 percentage point to 12.9 percent
The French market declined by 20.2 percent, affecting sales of Renault's namesake core brand, which fell 27.3 percent to 68,718. PSA/Peugeot-Citroen's European volume was down 16.5 percent to 118,381.
- Sales of Fiat brand cars fell 18.3 percent to 46,671, a drop that almost perfectly mirrored Italy's 18.9 sales slump
- Opel/Vauxhall sales slid 19 percent to 58,573, much more than the overall declines in its two biggest markets, the UK, where industry volume fell 2.5 percent, and in the flat German market.
- Japanese volume brands lost volume and share in February. Nissan sales were down 9.4 percent to 31,097 compared to a 9.2 percent market decline. Mitsubishi was the worst performer with a 35.2 percent decline to 6,248.
Among the German premium brands, only Mercedes-Benz had reason to be pleased. Mercedes' sales rose 6.8 percent to 39,620. Audi sales were down 2.7 percent to 45,187. BMW brand sales fell 3.2 percent to 39,905.

Italian press rounds on Balotelli, AC Milan for performances against Atletico
AC Milan striker Mario Balotelli came in for heavy criticism from some sections of the Italian media following his performances in the two legs against Atletico Madrid in the Champions League.
The seven-times European champions crashed out of the competition after a 5-1 aggregate loss to Atletico Madrid, who humbled the Italian giants 4-1 in the last-16 second-leg tie on Tuesday night.
The Gazzetta dello Sport was critical of Balotelli after the Italy international failed to make any impact over both legs.
"Balotelli remains switched off," read one Gazzetta headline.
The Corriere dello Sport said: "Terrible performance by the Rossoneri.
"Kaka goal, Balotelli disaster."
Tuesday's result was the latest setback for a Milan side that have endured a dismal campaign and are 38 points behind Serie A leaders Juventus.
Clarence Seedorf, who took the Milan reins in January following the sacking of coach Massimiliano Allegri, also came under fire.
Gazzetta's editorial questioned Seedorf's tactics and Balotelli's attitude. It said: "Balotelli and Seedorf are also under scrutiny."
The Rossoneri are 10th in the standings and in danger of missing out on European football next season.
The Gazzetta's top headline read: "Zero Milan, beaten and out of everything."
Turin-based sport newspaper Tuttosport highlighted that Milan's current troubles stem from their failure to sufficiently strengthen their team.
Their headline read: "Atletico too much for this Milan. Goodbye Champions League."
All three of Italy's major sports papers question the future of the club.
"What now?" asked Gazzetta.

Lupita Nyong'o (#1 Best Look of the Night. She looks absolutely flawless is a dress that mirrors Gwyneth's fabulous 2012 Oscar gown), Amy Adams (we haven't seen Amy look this great in years. We love the way this frock looks on her. Perfection)
Julianna Margulies (She looks wonderful. We love the dress, especially), Sandra Bullock (the cut of the dress, the colors, the side pony... it all looks chic), Robin Wright (we love, love, love this gal and she looks gorgeous)
Julia Roberts (some people were on the fence about this dress, but we adore it. We've seen similar looks before, but the addition of the simple belt and the classy up 'do make it great), Emma Roberts (it's a black dress, but the cut is lovely. We also dig the sea-foam earrings)
Amber Heard (we love the style of this gown and we always are suckers for a gorgeous navy), Julie Bowen (despite her super skinny frame, we love this dress. The style is classic Hollywood, but the bold colors bring it into this millennium)
Sarah Paulson (it's a 20's inspired flapper gown and we love it), Angela Bassett (it's equal parts goth and chic and so, so bold for this beautiful 55-year-old).
Julianna Margulies (best up 'do of the night. Elegant), Lizzy Caplan (best bob of the night)
Laura Dern (best long 'do of the night), Naomi Watts (best straight, sleek look)
Megan Mullallay (as if the hideous puffy sleeves weren't enough... she added the hipster glasses and the terrible orange, choppy hair 'do), Jacqueline Bisset (her speech was awkward and bad, but her dress and frizzy hair were even worse)
Lily Rabe (it's goth meets ice capades and the cold hair puff just makes it worse), Sally Hawkins (we absolutely love this girl, but her shrinking frame and over-bearing, old-lady dress are terrible), Emma Thompson (she looks as though she is wearing a suit of armor and her hair looks like a helmet)
Zoe Saldana (she's known for taking risks and also for those risks not paying off. The dress looks like a sewing room disaster), Aubrey Plaza (it's very 1997 prom)
Tina Fey (she looked fabulous during the show, but her red carpet look is just too... upholstery), Berenice Bejo (this is better than her 2012 looks, but the ruffles are too over-bearing), Paula Patton (we like the white on her, but the ruffles are obviously ridiculous)
Elisabeth Moss (here's our favorite bad-haired quirky girl. Buy a brush!), Zooey Deschanel (the bangs and the side 'do AND the flower are just too much)
Sarah Hyland (the braid has been done to death and the terrible makeup... mainly the over done eyebrows, make the hair look even worse), Lena Dunham (she has the same problem as Elisabeth Moss... use a brush!)
Hayden Panettiere (slicked back isn't working for her), Kaley Cuoco (it looks like her hair needs a wash), Gabourey Sidibe (really? this is the best you can do? Invest in an awesome wig)
Edie Falco (this off-centered 'do doesn't do well with Edie's unique facial features), Kate Mara (we know the blond is for a project, buy the messy puff is not working)
Michelle Dockery (it's almost there, but the dress kind of washes her out. A little spray tan would go a long way here), Emma Watson (it's a bold design and vibrant colors. We love it, but not for the Globes. This would have done better at a premiere)
Sofia Vergara (we like the dress and the necklace, but not together. Also, her hair should have been up. There's too much going on), Reese Witherspoon (we like the color and cut. She looks like a California girl)
Uma Thurman (we haven't seen this lady is awhile and we like what she gives us. We aren't really fans of the cut, but it works for her long, slim frame), Helen Mirren (she always looks gorgeous and this gown is working for her)
