The dialogue "commit- tee" sponsored its first con- ference of this kind in Tripoli in October 1978 with about. 100 Americans. tak- ing part. The PLO is seen as split between cooperation with the Soviets in Iran and oust- ing Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini and helping Khomeini stay in power. The pro-Khomeini faction is said to be led by Farouk Kaddumi, the PLO's politi- cal chief, while Arafat is backing the Soviet strategy. When asked for a sum- mary of developments in Iran and its impact on the Arab-Israeli conflict, one analyst said: "the only man who knows the precise de- tails of developments is Soviet Ambassador Vinog- radov in Teheran. "Vinogradov was the Soviet envoy in Cairo during Egypt's buildup for the Yom Kippur War. After that he went to Be- irut and civil war fol- lowed in Lebanon. Now he is in Iran and that country is erupting. Wherever he goes he leaves war or dismem- berment of the state." "Why try to assess Qadda- fi's motives," another analyst remarked. "His day to day statements make no sense. You can't explain reasonably the kind of thing that goes on in Iran nor what Qaddafi says or does. The one thing that is con- stant with him and Kho- meini and that kind is their burning hatred of Jews and Israel."

The new group said many Americans have a special feeling and relationship with the people of a specific kibutz or moshav and these are the people the new unit would try to reach. The organization will be divided into local chapters as well as nation-wide groups. Each member will receive a subscription to "Shedmot," the literary forum of the kibutz move- ment as well as other mate- rial.

Anski was the pen-name of the Yididsh poet Sjoloum Rabinowitz for whom the society was named when it was founded here in 1921 by Jewish emigres from Po- land and other Eastern European countries. Many had been members of the Bund, a Socialist- oriented group that opposed both Orthodox Judaism and Zionism. They established Anski to preserve their Yiddish language and cul- ture through lectures, theatrical performances and other activities. Membership dwindled after a few years as a number of the founders either emigrated from Holland or became more integrated into Dutch society. But reinforce- ments arrived from Po- land in 1929 and again after 1933. The society enjoyed its greatest growth just before the outbreak of World War II. But when the Soviet Union invaded Poland in 1939 and divided that coun- try with Nazi Germany, Anski left. The Com- munist members approved the Soviet invasion. The Bundists were opposed and founded their own cultural organization, the Peretz Society. - Anski was re-established after the war when the in- flux of displaced persons into Holland increased its membership temporarily. But most of them soon left for the U.S. or Canada. Anski was carried on for a time by its original mem- bers. But as the older ones died and their children be- came assimilated, the society was finally aban- doned. Material for the ex- hibit was provided by some of the surviving members. On Making Fowl Kosher for Consumption By RABBI SAMUEL FOX (Copyright 1979. JTA, Inc.) Jewish law prohibits plucking the feathers of a chicken under a stream of warm water. The body of a chicken, be- fore it has been drained of blood through the tradi- tional method of soaking, salting and washing, has blood in its veins, etc. Im- mersing the fowl in hot water would constitute a minor form of cooking the fowl in its blood (or cooking it before salting). This would render the chicken treife. Generally, any procedure which would result in the restriction of blood vessels or any situation in which the blood would collect in one place and be restricted from freely flowing out dur- ing subsequent soaking and salting process would raise questions regarding the status of kashrut of the fowl, thus rendering it prohibi- tive for use as kosher food.
