While McCloskey re-
ceived enthusiastic sup-
port from many promi-
nent Jewish Californians
when he was opposing
the Vietnam war,
analysts here consider
that it is unlikely he will
get backing from most of
them in his 1982 cam-
paign for a Senate seat.
Another view was that
McCloskey sensed anti-
war feeling in Vietnam

signed to develop more ef-
fective methods of social in-
tervention in dealing with
disadvantaged families.

In the letter McCloskey
said he "deplores anti-
Semitism" and that he "de-
eply regrets the furor which
has arisen over the choice of
words I used in describing
AIPAC."
David Lehrer, Western
States counsel for Bnai
Brith's Anti-Defamation
League, said McCloskey's
letter "hardly coincides
with McCloskey's com-
ments on the Jewish com-
munity over the' years. He
has been chastising the
Jewish voter, the
Jewish 'lobby' and Israel
without in any way limiting
his observations to AIPAC
or to any particular organ-
ization."

BONN (JTA) — The
"Dachau Song," a pop tune
with lyrics that menu feel
trivializes the experience of
the Holocaust, is the new hit
in West Germany.
Especially popular with
youth, it is performed by "A

cializes in trendy
entertainment.
Recordings, distributed
by the prestigious music
publishing house of Ralph
Siegel in Munich, have sold
by the thousands.

But the research group,
which asked not to be iden-
tified, said that McCloskey
has been favorably inclined'
towards views of the pro-
Arab lobby and the Na-
tional Association of Arab
Americans and had pro-
posed three amendments in
foreign aid legislation to
curtail aid to Israel and as
punishment for some of its
policies.

ing political tide and that
he now believes it is polit-
ically advantageous to
take an anti-Israel posi-
tion with overtones criti-
cal of the Jewish corn-
munity's support for Is-

"McCloskey sees noth-
ing wrong in doing er-
rands for the Arab
lobby," a Capitol source
said. "But if Jews defend
Israel that's wrong. It is
not wrong in his eyes for
lobbies to seek to influ-
ence legislation, particu-
larly if they are bighusi-
ness, but he objects to the
American-Israel Public
Affairs Committee
(AIPAC) that tries to help
both America and Is-

Under heavy fire in his

others for remarks con-
strued to be anti-Israel and
bordering on anti-

said in a letter to the Jewish
weekly "Heritage" in Los
Angles that he had voted for
all congressional bills that
included U.S. aid to Israel.

WASHINGTON (JTA) —
The Senate Foreign Rela-
tions Committee voted
Tuesday to put tighter re-
strictions on U.S. participa-
tion in the peacekeeping
force that will patrol Sinai
after Israel's final evacua-
tion next April.
One restriction would
limit the amount the U.S.-
spends for the Multina-
tional Force and Observers
( MFO) to the percentage
agreed upon in the original
accord with Israel and
Egypt. The resolution
appropriates $125 million
for the 1982 fiscal year
which starts Oct. 1, which is
60 percent of the cost of set-
ting up the MFO and
operating it for its first year.
Egypt and Israel will each
pay 20 percent.
The committee also
adopted an amendment by
Jesse Helms (R-N.C.), to
authorize the President to
train troops of any country
who -wish to participate in
the Sinai force for that task.
