HOLLYWOOD, Fla. —
Sam Goldfarb, author of
"Citizen Goldfarb, - took
issue with a recent
statement about Democ-
ratic Presidential
Nominee Jimmy Carter
which intimated that he
felt some incompatibility
with non-Christians.
In response to the
statement, -Goldfarb, in a
letter to Carter, listed
some notables in Ameri-
can history who voiced
confidence in and support
for the Jews.

Concluding his letter,
Goldfarb expressed the
hope that Carter "become
as compatible with Jews
as were the first five pres-
idents." He urged Carter
to look at a statement by
Lord Charles Percy
Snow, British author and
physicist, who remarked
on the disproportionate
number of Jewish Nobel
Prize winners during the
past 25 years. He
suggested bearing in
mind the percentage of
Jews compared with the
rest of the world's popu-
lation.

194 Israeli Settlements Planned by 1-990

By HAIM SHACHTER

World Zionist Organization

JERUSALEM — A
program has been drawn
up by the Jewish Agency
for the establishment of
194 new rural settle-
ments by the end of the
1980's. The short-term
plan sees 19 new rural
settlements by the end of
1978 and a long-term
program calls for the es-
tablishment of 175 new
rural settlements by the
end of the 1980's.
In the short-term prog-
ram the 19 new settle-
ments 12 in the north
and seven in other areas

— are to consist in the ini-
tial stage of 1,150 families
and expand within a
period of five years to
2,050 families.
The 175 villages in the
long-term project are to
be established in the
"Northern Project" in
the Galilee, over an area
extending from Nazareth
in the south to the
Lebanese border in the
north; the "Southern
Project" in the northern
Negev, extending from
the south-eastern border
of the Gaza Strip in the
west, through Halutza in
the south to Beersheba in

Sternstein Urges Joint Israel,
U.S. Public Relations Project

NEW YORK — Calling
the approaching
political change a "chal-
lenge which is both a
danger and an opportun-
ity," Rabbi Joseph P.
Sternstein, president of
the 120,000 member
Zionist Organization of
America, urged a
partnership of American,
Jewish and Israeli lead-
ership to work to mobilize
a vast nation-wide "cam-
paign of enlightenment."
Rabbi - Sternstein,
speaking before a meet-
ing of the ZOA National
Executive Committee,
urged American Jews
and Israelis to work to-
gether in a campaign
which would "prevent the
new political leaders from
falling prey to falsified
and simplistic slogans
which are being widely
purveyed."
Rabbi Sternstein stres-
sed that a public relations
effort of the scope en-
visioned would impress
America's leaders and a
broad segment of public
opinion with "Israel's full
historical, strategic and
legal case."

Ex-Nazis on Trial
for Killing Jews

BONN (JTA) — Six
former Gestapo members
went on trial in Hanover
Tuesday on charges of
being accomplices of the
murder of 2,481 Polish
Jews.
The murders took place
at the end of 1942 in the
city of Bilgoraj near Liib-
lin.
The city's Jews were
told they were going to be
"resettled" in the Soviet
Union but instead were
"brutally herded togeth-
er" and taken to the Bel-
zac Concentration Camp.
The prosecutor said that
many of the Jews were kil-
led before they reached
the camp.
Three of the accused
also are charged with or-
dering mass executions
in 1942 and 1943 intended
as revenge for attackS by
Polish partisans and the
killing of Jews unfit for
work. One of the three,
Friedrich Keller, is al-
leged to actually have
carried out the murders.
All six deny the charges.
About 130 witnesses
are expected to be called.

Rabbi
Sternstein
suggested that the Con-
ference of Presidents of
Major Jewish Organiza-
tions, the roof body of the
American Jewish com-
munity, organize itself
for the task- of public in-
formation.

Jewish Subjects
in Bibliography

The centennial issue of
"Studies in Bibliography
and Booklore," published
by Hebrew Union
college-Jewish Institute
of Religion, contains a
number of especially- val-
uable essays bibliog-
raphically annotated.
Of special interest is
the essay on "George
Eliot and Hebrew" by
William Baker. The re-
produced manuscripts
and the source material
provide interesting ad-
denda to the bibliog-
raphy.
Equally valuable is the
essay and bibliographical
data on Janusz Korczak by
Joseph J. Buckley.
Other bibliographies
and accompanying es-
says include a selected
Bicentennial bibliog-
raphy, a 16-page "note"
on the art of Joseph Ibn
Hayyim, Zur Geschichte
der Hebraischen
Buchdruckereien in Al-
tona by Bernard D. Wein-
ryb and several others.

New Oppression,
Nazis Equated

PHILADELPHIA —
Archbishop Helder Cam-
ara of Brazil told the 41,st
International Eucharis-
tic Congress this week
that "a new Nazism
based on national sec-
urity to combat Com-
munism" is being used in
many lands to foster op-
pression.
Archbishop Camara
spoke Tuesday to the
world-wide Roman
Catholic meeting.

The Northern Project
planned for the Galilee
hills will cover an area of
approximately 600,000
acres which have no sig-
nificant agricultural po-
tential nor other known
natural economic re-
sources. The addition of
more settlements in this
16egion is a political and
security necessity.
The Jewish.. population
in the Galilee is small
(62,000 as compared with a
non-Jewish population of
147,000 in 1973), and a
considerable part of the
region is sparsely popu-
lated without any Jewish
settlements whatever. The
few Jewish settlements
along the Lebanese bor-
der are too far apart from
the strategic point of view.
The need to develop a
new model of rural set-
tlement in the Galilee re-
gion has led to the con-
cept of establishing in-
dustrial villages there.
The main income source
in this form of settlement
will be industry and ser-
vices which have already
attracted young people
by offering an opportun-
ity to live outside the
conventional urban
framework, and to create
small communities based
on the principle of equal-
ity and mutual help.
The plan calls for the
establishment of 10 clus-
ters of villages, to allow
for a large and varied pool

of skilled workers and the
centralization of indus-
try.
The 100 rural settle-
ments to be established in
the southern region, with
an average of 100 families
per village, will engage
mainly in agriculture.
The additional 20,000
families who will settle
there will earn their
livelihood from services,
agricultural processing
plants and industrial ac-
tivities. It is estimated
that within 15 years of
the initial implementa-
tion of the project, this
area will have a total
population of 150,000.
The development of ag-
riculture in the southern
region will be made feasi-
ble by the supply of 200
million cubic meters of
water per annum from two
sources: a combined nuc-
lear reactor for water de-
salination and electricity
which will yield
120,000,000 cubic meters
of water per annum as well
as 600 megawatts of elec-
tricity, and a sewage water
purification plant which
will direct an additional
200 million cubic meters of
water annually from the
center of the country to the
Negev.
Agricultural produc-
tion which will be geared
mainly to export will be
built on what is known as
"conthrolled environment
agriculture," which
utilizes special climatic
conditions, the applica- .
tion of most advanced
scientific developments
and production under
glass or plastic cover.

JNF Honors Retiring Leader

JERUSALEM (JTA) —
The Jewish National Fund
directorate has decided to
dedicate a part of its Jerusa-
lem Forest to Jacob Tzur, its
outgoing chairman.
The decision was an-
nounced at a special festive
session of the directorate
last week which marked
Tzur's formal retirement.
Several directorate mem-
bers spoke warmly of Tzur's
role and personality and
wished him well for the fu-
ture.
Tzur himself said the
JNF's daily work — with
bulldozers, earthmovers and
shovels — seemed prosaic
enough. But it was infused
with vision and with a sense
of purpose and of history
which he himself and al-
ways felt throughout his
years of service at the Fund.
Tzur greeted directo-
rate-member Dr. Israel
Goldstein on reaching his
80th birthday and an-
nounced that he would be
inscribed in the JNF
"Golden Book."
The directorate an-
nounced that until a new
chairman was elected a
four-man committee con-
sisting of Yitzhak Unna,
Yitzhak Ziv-Av, Reuven Ar-
azi and JNF director general
Shimon Ben-Shemesh —
would fulfill the chairman's
duties.
Among the various names

mentioned as possible suc-
cessors to Tzur, the likeliest
candidate, according to
well-informed sources is
Akiva Levinsky, a Labor
Party leader and director of
Bank Hapoalim, the Histad-
rut-owned bank.

Arab Sentenced
for Bombings

TEL AVIV (JTA) — A
Lod military tribunal im-
posed a life sentence on
Mouhammed Halil Alian,
21, an East Jerusalem Arab
who headed a terrorist cell
responsible for bombings
and attempted bombings in
the Jerusalem area.
Alian was convicted of
possessing fire arms and
explosives. Three other
members of his gang each
received four-year prison
terms for membership in a
hostile organization.
The prosecutor expresser
regret that Israel does not
have capital punishment.
He said the supreme pen-
alty was warranted in Ali-
an's case.
His group, part of the
Popular Struggle Front,
was responsible for a Jeru-
salem bus bombing that in-
jured 12 persons. They
planted three other bombs
in Jerusalem streets and in
a bus, all of which were de-
tected and dismantled be-
fore they exploded.
