'Beware Growth of Nazi Literature'

Dole a Major Backer of Israel Aid

KANSAS CITY (JTA) —
Sen. Robert J. Dole of Kan-
sas, chosen by President
Ford to be his running-mate
in the election campaign,
has a record of staunch sup-
port for Israel and Soviet
Jewry in his 15 years as a
U.S. Representative and
Senator and has been
honored by the government
of Israel.
Although he is usually
found backing Republican
administration policies. the
conservative junior senator
from Kansas has on at least
two critical occasions
Tidy recommended to
President that his ad-
ministration provide more
adequate support to Israel.
In 1971, the year Presi-
dent Nixon named him as
the Republican Party's
national chairman, Dole
was among the first
senators to urge the White
House to supply Israel with
Phantom jet planes, then a
controversial subject in
Washington.
In May, 1975, when the
Ford Administration wa-s
engaged in its
"reassessment" of its
Middle East policy with
pressures on Israel, Dole
joined 75 other Senators in
signing a letter to the
President urging him to
provide adequate military
and economic aid to Israel.
This letter followed a
White House announce-
ment of the Administra-
tion review of policy and
the White House delay in
submitting to Congress a
request for aid to Israel.
Although not a member
of the Senate Foreign
Relations Comniittee,
agriculture being his chief
legislative interest, Dole
personally has an-acute in-
terest in -Israel's re-
quirements for security.

Firmly conservative on
most fiscal issues, he
nevertheless has been sup-
portive of foreign aid re-
quests for Israel.
Last year, he also voted
for Sen. Henry M. Jackson's
amendment to the Defense
Procurement Act, providing
for the transfer of military
equipment to Israel. He also
backed the U.S. role in the
Sinai accord between Egypt

SEN. ROBERT DOLE

and Israel. In December,
1974, Dole signed a letter
with 70 other Senators to
President Ford, urging him
that the U.S. be resolute in
upholding Israel's right to
reply to the Palestine
Liberation Organization in ‘,
the United Nations General
Assembly.
Dole also backed the
Senate steps against
UNESCO's actions hostile
to Israel. A consistent sup-
porter of Soviet Jewry, he
-voted for the Jackson-Vanik
amendment.
Dole, a Methodist, was
honored at a Kansas City
Jewish community dinner
in December 1971 after
Israel conferred on him its

Prime Minister's Medal
for his assistance to the
Israel Bond Organization.
The medal was presented
to him by Yitzhak Rabin,
Israel's premier, who was
then Israel's ambassador
to the United States.
The dinner chairman was
Vrem Levens of Kansas Ci-
ty, president of an impor-
tant grain company here,
who is a long-time close
friend of Dole. The
Senator's first visit to Israel
was after the Six-Day War
when he went there as a
member of a Select Com-
mittee of the House.

E NOS AIRES .(JT A)
— Menachem Begin, a
leader of the Likud,
warned that the prolifer-
ation of Nazi publications
in this country must be
taken seriously in view of
the Nazi experience in
Europe.
Begin addressed some
2,000 persons who
crowded Metro Cinema at
a meeting organized by
the Revisionist-Herut
Party.
He also called for inter-
sanctions

warned that the PLO

Courses were held in
Jewish music- and-various
aspects of Zionism. Rabbi
Zimmerman said three
conditions were involved
in determining the scope of
each course. One was to
avoid material which
might . involve conflicts
over Jewish LaNV; a second
was to create a course in
which a particular phase
of Judaism or Zionism
could be treated
meaningfully in the five-
week span of the courses;
and a third was to design
courses which would at-
tract non-affiliated Jews
in the general Manhattan
midtown area in which the
two synagogues are
located.
Rabbi Zimmerman said
that attendance averaged
more than 100 for each
course. He also reported
that only about 40 con-
gregants attended the
courses, the majority being
mainly unaffiliated Jews
who work in the area, some
retired Jews, and some
Christiaps. He said a
deliberate effort was made
in advance publicity on the
special program to invelve
members of the nearby St.
Peter's Lutheran Church,
with which the Reform con-
gregation has developed
ties.

Reform-Orthodox Courses
Attract Non-Affiliated Jews

NEW YORK (JTA) — A
joint study program,
reportedly the first spon-
sored by a Reform and an
Orthodox congregation in
the New York City area and
created for interested Jews
in the area, attracted many,
more non-congregants than
congregants, according to
the rabbi of the Reform
congregation. Rabbi
Sheldon Zimmerman of the
Central Synagogue in
Manhattan, described as the
oldest synagogue in con-
tinuous use in New York
City, said there were four
classes in the five-week
lunchtime- program, -two at
t' central Synagogue, and
‘. at the Fifth Avenue
Synagogue of which Rabbi
Emanuel Rackman is
spiritual leader.
Rabbi Zimmerman said
there had been on-going dis-
cussions between officials of
the two synagogues for
some kind of joint
educational venture and
that the decision was made
to proceed with the unique
joint study course as a
response of the two con-
gregations r, to the attacks
on Jewish solidarity" last
year, a reference to such
events as the Zionist-racism
resolution approved by the
United Nations General
Assembly.
