Zacks Mobilizes George Bush Committee,
Candidate Affirms His Support for Israel
Recounting his consistent
support for Israel's security
during his years of service
as a member of Congress
and reaffirming his convic-
tions of Israel's importance
as a friend of the United
States in the Middle East,
George Bush, candidate for
the Republican nomination
for President, addressed 75
prominent Jewish per-
sonalities Monday night
telephonically at a meeting
at the home of the Alvin
Spectors in Birmingham.
Gordon Zacks, nationally
prominent Jewish leader,
represented Bush at the
meeting here and mobilized
the Bush-for-President
Committee in Michigan.
Zacks is deputy chairman
of the Bush National Cam-
paign Committee and is vice
chairman of the national fi-
nance committee. For many
years in the top leadership
of the Council of Jewish
Federations and the United
Jewish Appeal, Zacks
gained national fame as the
inspirer of the Institute for
Jewish Life which func-
tioned for three years under
the supervision of the Coun-
cil of Jewish Federations
and Welfare Funds and is
credited with having
created the increasing
interest by American Jewry
in their educational and
cultural needs. He is a na-
tionally prominent shoe
manufacturer, headquar-
tered in Columbus, Ohio.

GEORGE BUSH
Detroit gathering on the
progress in the Bush-
for-President campaign
resulting from numerous
committees he assisted in
organizing in New York,
Florida, California and
Minnesota, with similar
plans in progress in other
states.
Seeing Bush as already
showing strength and as a
"viable alternative to Re-
agan," Zacks said that
many Democrats and espe-
cially independents are al-
ready in Bush's -ranks. He
said that on his visit in Is-
rael with Bush in July there
was a marked interest in
him by Americans living in
Israel and an appreciation
for Bush's concern for Is-
rael's security and progress
by Israel leaders of all par-
ties.
In his telephonic address
to the Detroit group of men
and women who are deeply
interested in the approach-
ing political campaign,
Bush called for:
• A stable Middle East
free of Soviet domination.
• Building on the
Camp David Accord

WASHINGTON (JTA) —
Jewish community leaders
joined with other Ameri-
cans of all ranks in mourn-
ing the loss of George
Meany who died Jan. 10 at
age 85. He retired three
months ago after being
president of the AFL-CIO
for 27 years.
"No American was more
devoted to Israel's freedom
as an independent Jewish
state than George Meany,"
said Albert Zack, who had
been closely associated with
Mr. Meany for 22 years as
director of public relations
for the AFL-CIO.
"If proof were needed of
Meany's feeling for Israel, it
was evidenced in the in-
numerable acts of associa-
tion and devotion to Israel,
in his speeches, his appeals
to the Congress and his per-
sonal encouragement and
support to all Americans to
help Israel materially,"
Zack said.
A good friend of all Is-
raeli leaders through the
years, Zack pointed out
that Meany "cherished
among his closest rela-
tionships his friendship
with Golda Meir."

• Encourage Jordan to

• The U.S. should work

• Ensure the Palesti-
nians have a voice in de-
termining their future.
• Peace progress must
come through direct negoti-
ations between the parties
without the U.S. imposing
terms and conditions.
Bush said, "It is in the
strategic interest of the
United States to maintain
Israel's strength and secu-
rity. The security and free-
dom of that small democ-
racy are fundamental to
American strength and
Middle East stability.

NEW YORK (JTA) —
Henny Youngman, the
comedian known for his
snappy one-liners, finally
had his Bar Mitzva Jan. 12
in Atlantic City, N.J., 60
years later than scheduled.
The 73-year-old
Youngman was originally
scheduled for a Bar Mitzva
at age 13 in Brooklyn, but
when a cousin died the
ceremony was cancelled.
The tenor, Jan Peerce, an
old friend, recently offered
the comedian help in pre-
paring for the Bar Mitzva
and Peerce was the cantor
at the Jan. 12 service.
GEORGE MEANY
Meshel described Meany as
a "great labor leader and a
friend of Israel. He was a
true democrat, a fighter for
freedom and for social jus-
tice. He was a courageous
man who never hesitated to
voice criticism of the
American establishment
and Administrations when
they violated the principles
of freedom and justice or
harmed Israel.")
