Chayefsky Denounced Vanessa Redgrave's Venom By JOSEPH POLAKOFF WASHINGTON — Three-time Academy Award winning playwright Paddy Chayefsky died at age 58 of cancer in New York on Aug. 1, but the Bronx-born humanist lives permanently in the hearts of those who remember, perhaps above all, his re- buke to Vanessa Redgrave. While Jews and others stormed for years against the actress' espousal of the PLO and her insults of Is- ALEXANDER'S Ponoed 13400 W. 9 MILE & COOLIDGE Mon.

In front of millions of TV viewers at the 1978 Academy Award cere- monies before presenting the Oscar for the best screen play, he rebuked Redgrave. As TV critic Tom Shales later reported, Chayefsky denounced her "for using her acceptance speech as a forum for anti-Zionist clap- trap earlier that evening." "I am sick and tired of people exploiting the oc- casion of the Academy Awards for the propaga- tion of their personal political propaganda," Chayefsky declared. Shales reported "some cheered this, some booed, but Paddy Chayefsky had again had his say, or rather his roar." Described as "a passionate man in an in- creasingly passionless age," Chayefsky, whose first name was Sidney, was also characterized as "a mensch"' who "with the possible ex- ception of his own death, never took anything lying MO VIE G UIDE BERKLEY THEATRE A FREE VERNORS!

In his way, like some others in the forefront of the defense of Jewry, Judaism, Zionism and Israel, it can be said he was "a front-line soldier" for ideals in which he passionately believed and did not hesitate to pro- claim. At his funeral service, Herb Gardner, the playw- right, quoted from "Gideon" one of Chayefsky's plays, that "it is passion that car- ries a man to God and makes real such things as beauty, love and God." Rabbi Joseph Sternstein, long-time American Zionist leader was chosen by the Chayefsky family to recite the traditional prayers and psalms. And Arnold Fors- ter, general counsel of the Anti-Defamation League, spoke of the playwright's unstinting support in battles against "injustice, racism, bigotry and for civil rights — as an American and a Jew." In keeping with his support for Jewish charities, his family urged that in lieu of flow- ers contributions could be made to New York's Federation of Jewish Philanthropies. The American ORT Fed- eration published that it mourned "the passing of a fellow member and con- tributor whose consistent support for Jewish youngsters in ORT's global network of vocational/ technical schools was in keeping with the humanitarian spirit that characterized his writing and his life." * * * U.S. Accuses Boston Lawyer in Arab Boycott WASHINGTON — A Boston attorney, Robert E.

Meyer also is charged with failure to report to the department receipt of a boycott-related request from Saudi Arabia. He faces a fine of up to $10,000 for each violation, revocation of validated ex- port licenses, general denial of export privileges, and/or exclusion from practice be- fore relevant department agencies. According to a letter dated July .2 that was sent to Meyer by Richard M. Seppa, acting director of the Department's Office of Anti-Boycott com- pliance, Meyer, during January 1978, "received a power of attorney, in- cluding an affidavit, about business relation- ships with or in Israel from Saudi Arabia." Seppa's letter also said that Meyer in January 1978 furnished information to the Saudi Arabian govern- ment via the Saudi Em- bassy in Washington. In March of that year Meyer furnished an affidavit to the Saudi government through its consulate in New York and in September 1978 he furnished the affidavit to agerits in Riyadh PA' RIVIERA FAMILY RESTAURANT 13400 W. 8 MILE AT COOLIDGE 541-3385 Oak Park BREAKFASTS from 95` LUNCH SPECIAL SOUP & SANDWICH DINNER SPECIALS I 75 FROM $275 DINNERS INCLUDE: SOUP OR SALAD, POT., VEG. & DESSERT ALL OUR FOOD IS HOME MADE FISH & CHIPS $3 SERVED EVERYDAY FRI.
