The Jew and the E lephant Problem

With 2,000 elephants due to be
killed in Uganda for ecological
reasons, former Flint resident Dr.
Gary Steinman of Jerusalem
thought it would be nice for the
Jerusalem Biblical Zoo to acquire
a pair.
As a result of his suggestion, the
Zim Navigation Co. offered to bring
them to Israel at no charge.
Dr. Steinman, son of the Mor-
ris Steinmans, wrote to the Jeru-
salem Post, noting that "In, view
of the fact that the Jerusalem
Zoo at present lacks an elephant,
it might be a fine civic gesture
on the part of Zim lines to donate
passage for
. a couple of the ill-

Lansky, who describes himself
Sing-A-Long
as a retired businessman, has
been living in Israel for over a
Marshmallow Roast
year on a tourist visa which ex-
pires at the end of this month.
His U.S. passport has been
revoked and he is seeking per-
mission to remain in Israel under
the Law of Return which grants
any Jew citizenship unless the
Minister of Interior decides
otherwise. If citizenship is denied
and his visa is not renewed,
Lansky may face deportation to
the U.S. where he faces charges
on alleged gambling violations.
Lansky claims it was untrue to
describe him as "one of the leaders
of organized crime" in America.
He denies any connection with the
Mafia.

Apparently, Zim agreed with
Steinman's point of view, and so a-
did Uganda. Prof. Aharon Shulov, m
curator of the Jerusalem Zoo, said E
the Israel Embassy in Uganda im-

cure a pair of pachyderms to re-
populate the Jerusalem Zoo's ele-

WINSTON'S
DOWN HOME TASTE!

WASHINGTON (JTA) — State
Department officials to1.40e4ew-
ish Telegraphic Agency4#401iy
ed no role in deciding -itWiretap
the Jewish Defense League on the
basis of what the Justice Depart-
ment in its brief on the case, called
foreign policy considerations.
The officials said that although
"the Jewish Defense League con-
stitutes a danger to our pursuit of
our foreign policy objectives" the
department did not recommend
wiretapping the group.
In its brief, the Justice Depart-
ment said that the surveillance
"was deemed necessary to pro-
tect the nation and its citizens
against the hostile acts of a for-
eign power and to obtain inform-
ation against foreign intelligence
activities deemed essential to the
security of the United States."
A Justice Department spokesman
refused to explain why the lan-
guage was used but said that the
department had consulted "with
all the relevant agencies."
State Department officials said
that it was possible that the White
House and the attorney general
negotiated the authorization for the
wiretap without State Department
advice. This was characterized as
an "unusual but possible" proce-
dure.
