WASHINGTON (JTA) —
Among the candidates in

nate seats and all 435 House
of Representatives seats,
there are five Jewish candi-
dates in the Senate races
and 49 in the House contest
from 26 states.
In addition, in Vermont,
State Attorney General M.
Jerome Diamond, a Demo-
crat who is Jewish, is seek-
ing to replace Governor
Richard Snelling, a Repub-
lican.
These election facts are
N based on canvasses by
David Brody, Washington
representative of the
Anti-Defamation League of
Bnai Brith, and the Wash-
ington bureau of the Jewish
Telegraphic Agency.

running on the Liberal
Party ticket in New York

has held as Republican
for 24 years and Rep.
Elizabeth Holtzman, the
Democratic nominee for
Senator in New York, the
Senatorial nominees who
are Jewish are Republi-
can Arlen Spector,
former Philadelphia dis-
trict attorney who is
seeking to defeat Demo-

present Pennsylvania;

Garn in Utah; and Repub-
lican Warren Rudman, a
former state attorney
general, who is running
in New Hampshire

seven Jewish members — a
record number. They are
Abraham Ribicoff (D-
Conn.), who is not _seeking
re-election; and Richard
Stone (D-Fla.), who was de-

House, also a record
number, 22 are seeking re-
election. Holtzman gave up
her place to run for the Se-
nate, and Abner Mikveh,
called "the quintessence of
liberalism," vacated his
seat in Illinois upon being
appointed to the U.S. Cir-
cuit Court of Appeals.

Republican Bill Green is
opposed by Democrat Mark
Green while for Holtzman's

Retraction from
Amsterdam News
NEW YORK — The
Anti-Defamation League of
takBnai Brith recently asked
"ruir the Amsterdam News to
correct and apologize for an
Oct. 11 story claiming that
400 Russian Jews were
hired by the New York City
Transit Authority "while
thousands of blacks and
other minorities were seek-
ing employment."
In a letter to the editor of
the paper, Natalie Gordon,
chief of ADL's New York
regional board, said that the
story was, "according to
sources at the Transit
Authority, absolutely
false." Pointing out that
while 400 new people were
hired by the Transit
Authority, only a few hap-
pened to be Russian Jews.
