Nazi Statute
Extension Sought
by Wiesenthal
.
NEW YORK (JTA) —
imon Wiesenthal, the Nazi
hunter, announced plans for
an international postcard
ca—r)aign designed to con-
\ 1 the West German
government to extend its
statute of limitations on the
prosecution of Nazi war
vi•minals beyond the pre-
sent deadline of Dec. 31,
1979.
He announced the cam-
paign at a press conference
attended by Rep. Elizabeth
Holtzman (D-N.Y.) and
Martin Mendelsohn, a
lawyer named recently to
head the U.S. Immigration
and Naturalization Serv-
ice's Nazi war crime litiga-
tion unit.
Holtzman said it was
"ironic" that the statute of
'-imitations would become
effective, unless the date of
effectiveness is extended, at
a time when the U.S. gov-
ernment "is finally moving
aggressively against Nazi
war criminals."
This was a reference to
a bill she sponsored,
signed into law by
President Carter on Oct.
30, that would for the first
time offifially bar from
entry into the United
States or make liable for
deportation all aliens
who entered this country
:':since 1952 and who are
known 'to have perse-
cuted others because of
race, religion or national
origin.
Mendelsohn said that
"more than 200 cases of al-
leged Nazi war criminals
living in this country are
now being investigated by
the federal government."
The war crimes unit is cur-
rently involved in court
cases against 12 alleged
Nazi war criminals.

rael, recently completed a
special seminar in
Jerusalem in biblical tradi-
tion and community de-
velopment.
They came from Zaire,
Mozambique, Rwanda,
Burundi, Upper Volta and
Senegal.
The seminar, which was
the third of its kind since
1976, explored Israeli
methods and experience in
community development, a
topic of particular interest
to these young priests who
will serve their churches in
rural and disadvantaged
areas.
Another aim of the semi-
nar was to acquaint the
young Africans with con-
temporary Judaism and Is-
rael's present problems as a
young state.
The series of seminars
were set up in 1972 fol-

Israel for Digs
PARIS (JTA) — A United
Nations special commission
meeting in Paris voted
59-22 in favor of an Arab-
-- sponsored resolution con-
demning Israel for its ar-
cheological digs and cul-
tural activities in
Jerusalem and reaffirming
continued application of
4'ESCO sanctions voted
in 1974.
There were eight absten-

But that is considered a
formality.

lowing a congress on the
Bible and North Africa.
The yearly programs are,
in fact, forerunners to the
building of an African
Ecumenical Institute of
Biblical Studies in
Jerusalem. Until the in-
stitute is built, the study
seminars will take place
in cooperation with the
Hebrew University, the
Israeli Interreligious
Committee and the de-
partment of international
cooperation of Israel's
foreign ministry.
The course was offered
five times a week. Students
attended lectures, took part
in teamwork and debates,
and toured sites of general,
historical and religious
interest throughout Israel.
The group visited many
areas of development in the
country. The seminar lasted
two months.
