Court Rejects
Hess Appeal
BONN — A West German
court has rejected
arguments that West Ger-
many take responsibility to
release Nazi war criminal
Rudolf Hess from West Ber-
lin's Spandau priSon. It also
rejected an appeal that
West Germany stop sub-
sidizing the upkeep of the
prison, which costs the
country $800,000 each year.
Hess, -87, is the only pris-
oner at Spandau. The Soviet
Union, Britain, France and
the U.S. rotate guards for
Hess. The Soviet Union has
repeatedly rejected cle-
mency requests for Hess
from the other three allied
powers.

VIEW ON JEWS: How do Jews in the United States
see themselves, and what view do they hold of other ethnic
groups?
The question is part of the curriculum of the 16-week
course given by the U.S. Department of Defense at its Race
Relations Institute, where officers and servicemen from a
branches of armed forces — selected by their commande
— are being trained as instructors for combatting anti-
Semitism and racial prejudice.
The answer, as outlined in a special sub-course on
"Jewish American Culture" is:
Jewish Americans generally see themselves as Ameri-
cans first. To most Jews there is no conflict between being
American, Jewish and supporting Israel as a nation. Their
religion allows for coexistence with other religions without
conflict.
Having suffered discrimination and hostilities
through centuries, the fear of Jewish genocide remains a
fear for many Jews, the military trainees are told. They are
also told that there exists an "oppressive mentality" among
some Jews which is perceived as a Cultural trait by many
non-Jews. Other Jewish fears, the students learn, include
anti-Semitism, quota systems, assimilation, marriage out-
side Judaism, and a negative population growth.
It is pointed out in the course that Jewish Americans
agree with many other ethnic groups in different areas, but
that recent events have focused on the disparity between
Jews and Black Americans with whom Jews had been
going hand-in-hand in the fight for civil rights. Jewish
commitment to the Black civil rights movement was
"strong and enduring" from the very beginning of that
movement, it is emphasized. It is cited that numerous
Jewish congregations, together with their rabbis, were
active in the Black civil rights protests of the 1950s and
1960s; Jews provided substantial money for the movement;
that they swelled the ranks of demonstrators in large num-
ers in cities across the South.
ONLY IN AMERICA: There is no other country in
the world where the military is being given a basic and
extensive course about Jews with a view to combatting
anti-Semitism and depicting the contributions that Jews
make to the general progress of the country.
The course of the U.S. Department of Defense
encompasses many aspects of Jewish life in the United
States.
In analyzing the present status of the Jews in the
United States, the Defense Department course emphasizes
that the Jewish population consists mostly of middle class
people who, due to their good education and hard work,
succeeded in developing an ethnic economic network that
has provided stability for the majority of Jews in the coun-
try. _
At the same time the attention of the students is drawn
to the fact that although Jews worked hard to reach their
present economic position, there are, nevertheless, ele-
ments in the country that use the economic progress of the
Jews for the nefarious purpose of inciting to anti-Jewish
hatred.
Jewish Americans, the military trainees are told, are
all too well aware of how tenuous their economic position is.
"Changes in public opinion may be swift and victim-focus
on Jewish Americans for our present economic situation is
a real possibility," the course prognosticates.

WASHINGTON — Bnai
Brith International, signal-
ling a financial turnabout,
has approved a budget for
1981 of $11,756,000, an in-
crease of-$875,000 over last
year.
Jack Spitzer, Bnai Brith
president, addressing the
annual winter meeting of
the board of governors,
painted an optimistic pic-
ture of the immediate fu-
ture. His optimism, he said,
is based on the success of fis-
cal belt-tightening and
fund-raising campaigns
that are generating
"dramatically increased"
contributions to the organ-
ization's youth programs.
Spitzer said Bnai Brith
last year reduced its
longterm debt by some
$800,000. This came in
large part from increase
contributions and t
application of stringe
guidelines on spending
and better control of ac-
counts receivable and
payable, he explained.
Almost half of the 1981
budget — $5,670,000 — was
authorized by the board of
governors for youth pro-
grams.
Hillel and the Bnai Brith
Youth Organization will re-
ceive an additional
$8,610,000 from local Bnai
Brith groups, local Jewish
federations and welfare
funds and from Hillel and
BBYO dues and fees.
