JERUSALEM (JTA)- —
Rival groups of Jewish reli-
gious zealots clashed near
the Temple Mount in the-
Old City last week.
One group denounced the
government for refusing to
allow Jews to pray on the
site which contains major
Islamic shrines. The other
contended that Jews are
forbidden to go there as long
as the Temple has not been
rebuilt.
The skirmish, which
police said was minor, was
the only event that marred
Tisha b'Av, the day of
mourning over the destruc-
tion of the First and Second
Temples. Large numbers of
observant Jews gathered at
the Western Wall during
the day to read from the
Book of Lamentations and
chant prayers.
A holiday atmosphere
prevailed in the rest of
the country with many

AJCongress
Lodges Protest
Over NY Show
NEW YORK. (JTA) —
The American Jewish Con-
gress protested the rebroad-
cast Monday by New York
TV Channel 13 of a program
about Hitler admirer
Winifred Wagner. Channel
13 is a public service sta-
tion.
In a letter to Robert Kot-
lowitz, president of
WNET-TV, Jacqueline
Levine, chairperson of the
AJCongress National Gov-
erning Council, declared:
The American Jewish
Congress is deeply dis-
turbed that Channel 13 is
presenting, for a second
time, The Confessions of
Winfred Wagner,' described
in your 'Community Alert'
as 'a close friend of Adolf
Hitler for 22 years' who 're-
veals why she became a
Nazi and other facts about
her life.' This wretched and
deeply offensive film when
first broadcast resulted in
numerous letters to us from
our members in the Met-
ropolitan area expressing
their deep dismay at its pre-
sentation. It is doubly dis-
tressing that it shoud be
honored with a seco-
showing."
