JERUSALEM—A comem-

Israeli sportsmen murdered
at the Munich Olympics will
be inaugurated in Israel Sept.
5, 1973, the memorial day of
the massacre.

The project is a joint mem-
orial undertaking of the
Olympic Committee of Israel
and the Jewish National
Fund.
According to Shimon
Benshemesh, the JNF's direc-
tor general, a decision is
still pending as to the final
form of the memorial.

with Bertenshaw but that
Smith was not one of them.
Wertz described Berten-
shaw as a free-lance produc-
er and a member of the coun-
cil's TV and radio group.
According to Wertz, Roberts
said the council "in no way
sponsors or cooperates in the
production of these shows
and credit on the participa-
tion should have been re-
moved." JTA also was un-
able to reach the administra-
tor reportedly connected with
the Bertenshaw program.
Both Broger and Wertz in-
dicated that high officials of
the department were involv-
ed in the investigation. The
appearance of Smith on the
network, rather than what
he said in the broadcast, was
considered the prime com-
plaint. Smith is conected with
development of a "sanctu-
ary" in Eureka Springs, Ark.
Smith said on the broad-
cast that "we are now
launching the building of a
new Holy Land due to the
fact that the original Holy
Land, which was visited by
Jesus Christ 2,000 years ago,
has been scarred and marred
and its appearance has been
changed and some of the
most sacred shrines are be-
ing blighted by the building
of housing projects. There-
fore we feel that the image
of the Holy Land should be
built here in the United
States." Apparently, Smith
did not use the word "Israel"
In his program as had been
initially reported.
Broger said he was work-
ing with an office assistant
of Defense Secretary Melvin
Laird in providing Sen. Ja-
cob Javits (R. N.Y.) "with
all the information we have"
Javits had asked for an ex•
planation of the armed
forces network's use of the
program.
An aide to Sen. Jacob K.
Javits (R. N.Y.) said Tues-
day that the senator was de-
termined to "press his inves-
tigation" of the use of the
Smith broadcast. The aide
quoted Sen. Javits as saying
that he "considered it out
rageous" that the AFRTS
"would serve to broadcast

TEL AVIV—A new 12-man
chamber of commerce was
elected in Nablus last week
in a lively vote which kept
the city unusually busy. A

positions chosen by 900 mer-
chants. This was the second
chamber of commerce elec-
ted in a West Bank since
1967. The first was estab-

According to his aide, Jav-
its was not satisfied with the
Defense Department's initial
response to his request last
week for a copy of the rules
and regulations governing the
use of materials heard over
the AFRTS network. Javits'
aide told the JTA that the
Defense Department has so
far failed to supply the sen-
ator with the material he re-
quested.
Javits' office released to
the JTA the text of "a mem-
orandum for the record" sent
to Javits by Broger, which
noted that the JTA played a
role in the prompt with-
drawal of the Smith program
from AFRTS use.
Broger said in his memo
that after discussing the JTA
"with subordinates, he gave
instruction "to kill any fu-
ture airings of this particu-
lar show and to review this
show for conformance with
A F R T S standards." The
Memo also referred to a call
the next day from a member
of syndicated columnist Jack
Anderson's staff on the sub-
ject. Anderson's column sub-
sequently carried a story on
the Smith broadcast.
Roberts said he had told
Bertenshaw last September
to delete the association of
the New Jersey Council of
Churches from his series. He
said he acted after the Amer-
ican Jewish Committee in
St. Louis complained about a
program that featured

Agency Gets Loan
for Elderly Housing

CHICAGO (JTA) — The
Jewish Federation of Metro-
politan Chicago has reported
that $1,015,000 in federal
funds made available to the
federation's newly - estab-
lished council for the Jewish
elderly for housing was made
in the form of a loan.
The funds from the Depart-
ment of Housing and Urban
Development of the new ag-
ency to rehabilitate two apart-
ment buildings for the elder-
ly was provided in the form
of a 40-year, low-interest /clan

Housing Administration un-
der section 236 of the Federal
Housing Program, federation

Smith's wife. Roberts empha-
sized that the council had
been associated with only the
first four programs in Ber-
tenshaw's series, about three
years ago. But apparently
the producer continued to use
the church council's credit
at the tag end of the show.
Wertz said that "no screen-
ing is done on the programs"
because "as soon as you
screen, the military people
are charged with censoring
and news management."
Asked why Jewish programs
produced by the networks are
not broadcast by AFRTS, he
replied that they did not "fit
in" the AFRTS program-
ming. He said the same ap-
plied to the Fulton Lewis
program.
A little more than a year
ago protests by Jewish or-
ganizations led the federal
government to cancel fund-
ing for a highway Smith
wanted build to make his
shrine at Eureka Springs
more accessible to the pub-
lic. The main attraction was
a large stone statue of Jesus
erected by Smith.
Investigations of the AFRT
incident were demanded by
Rabbi Israel Miller, presi-
dent of the American Zionist
Federation, and Mrs. Henry
Rapaport, president of the
National Women's League of
the United Synagogue of
America.
A spokesman for the AZF
told the JTA that Pentagon
officials reached by tele-
phone over the weekend ex-
pressed "genuine concern"
over the incident which they
said came as news to them.
One official was quoted by
the AZF spokesman as say-
ing that "it probably hap-
pened out of stupidity more
than anything else" and add-
ed that "once the AZF pro-
test is received there will
probably be some quick ac-
tion on this matter."
In a telegram sent Friday
to Secretary of Defense-des-
ignate Elliot L. Richardson,
Rabbi Miller referred to the
JTA report and said: "On be-
half of the 700,000 members
enrolled in the American
Zionist movement, we ex-
press our sense of shock
and strongly protest the ac-

mitting to U.S. installations
throughout the world the
broadcast of Gerald L. K.
Smith, the notorious anti-
Semite who used the occa-
sion for his usual anti-Se-
mite and anti-Israel diatribe.
We urge an immediate in-
vestigation into such an in-
comprehensible action on the
part of the AFRTS which op-
erates with public funds and
look toward your assurances
that such unfortunate inci-
dents will not be allowed to
recur."
Rabbi Miller. in a similar
telegram to Edward Little,
president of the Mutual
Broadcasting System, added:
"We consider your action in
allowing the use of Mutual's
facilities to be given to one of
America's notorious anti-
Semites as an affront to
American Jews and other de-
cent Americans of all faiths."
An AZF spokesman told
the JTA that in contrast to
the concern voiced by Penta-
gon officials, top officials
at MBS indicated that they
did not regard the matter as
serious. The spokesman said
that both Little and Gary
Worth, vice president in
charge of station relations,
refused Friday to answer
repeated phone calls from the
AZF although they were fully
appraised of what the calls
were about.
According to the spokes-
man, several hours later a
secretary returned the AZF's
calls with the message, "If
the AZF cared to explain its
concern about the Smith
broadcast in a letter to us,
we shall be glad to send
them our reply." The AZF
spokesman said it wasn't
known Little had received
Rabbi Mille r's telegram
when the message was given.
The American Jewish Com-
mittee sent a telegram to
Richardson, expressing shock
and dismay.

of charges of corruption in
a report issued here.
The report contained the
results of a lengthy investi-
gation by the committee of
the bankrupt firm, formerly
owned by the government,
and a series of recommen-
dations for tightening the
management of government
corporations.
Vered's financial collapse
last September, after incurr-
ing losses estimated at IL
84,000,000 (521,000,000), gave
rise to charges of scandal
and corruption.
The firm was said to have
lost heavily on projects un-
dertaken abroad which were
outside the field of water de-
velopment and which it was
ill-equipped to carry out.
Vered has since been sold
to Solel Boneh, the Histadrut
construction cooperative, and
is no longer a government
corporation.
The finance committee
recommended strict new ad-
ministrative and auditing
procedures to be adopted
immediately by government
corporations. It warned that
officials of the corporations
would be held personally re-
sponsible in the future if the
new regulations were ig-
nored.

Censorship Rule
Reversal Sought

JERUSALEM (JTA)—The
Chief Rabbinate Council ap-
pealed to the cabinet to re-
verse its decision to abolish
censorship for Israel's legiti-
mate theater.
The cabinet voted 7-5 in
favor of submitting legisla-
tion to the Knesset that would
free stage productions from
the requirement of obtaining
a license from the censorship
board.
The Orthodox rabbis
claimed that the decision
would lead to a "terrible
moral decline" and demand-
ed that censorship should be
tightened "in these times
when permissiveness is eat-
ing away at the vitals of our
society."
