Dispute Over Exhibit at the 'Met' Resolved
The love of democracy is
that of equality.
—Montesquieu
NEW YORK (JTA) —
The Metropolitan Museum
of Art has reconsidered its
decision to cancel an exhibit
of Israeli archeological
material and will now go
ahead and mount the show,
museum officials said.
However, the show will be
that planned by the Smith-
sonian Institution Travel-
ing Exhibit Service rather
than the one the museum
was to have mounted origi-
nally.
The museum's reversal
followed an exchange of let-
ters between Mayor Edward
Koch and Douglas Dillon,
chairman of the museum's
board of directors.
that showing the artifacts
would involve "security
risks from radical ele-
ments."
Spokesmen for major
Jewish organizations de-
nounced the museum's deci-
sion as capitulation to fear
and pressure.
Dillon, in his response to
Koch, said, "The Met is and
remains firmly committed
to the fundamental doctrine
that curatorial and cultural
decisions must not be pub-
licized."

He added that the
museum would now
work "with our col-
leagues in Israel" and
with the Smithsonian In-
stitution to move quickly
towards a solution.
But Shmuel Moyal,
spokesman for the Israel
Consulate in New York,
said, "To the , best of my
knowledge and recollection,
the repregentatives of the
Metropolitan Museum of
Art have not made any con-
tact with the representa-
04110,1T-0
D$,Df.14.
Koch charged that the
museum had "surren-
dered" the political free--
dom "conferred on the
arts and cultural institu-
tions" and had "subordi-
nated curatorial consid-
erations to political hal-
lucinations and specula-
five fears of reprisals by
terrorists."

Metropolitan president
William Macomber said
that if the Smithsonian
show, due in 1984, does not
materialize, the Met will
stage its original show as
planned. The show includes
artifacts from the earliest
times to the Crusades. _
Jerusalem Mayor Teddy
Kollek, chairman of the
board of the Israel Museum,
praised the Met for revers-
ing its original decision.

JERUSALEM (ZINS) —
Israel now has'450,000 tele-
phones, and a waiting list of
220,000 applications. Tele-
phones have become a
status symbol in spite of
their $400 installation cost.
Another item of conspicu-
ous consumption is color
television sets. Some
175,000 foreign-made sets
were sold in Israel during
the first six months of 1981.
Israeli Television will not
have the capability to
broadcast in color for an-
, other year.

Koch was referring to the
museum's announcement
last week that it was cancel-

some of the artifacts came

the museum described as
"disputed territory," and
NEW YORK (JTA) — In
an effort to improve and
streamline Zionist activi-
ties in the United States,
the World Zionist Organiza-
tion Executive, which met
for two days in Arad, Israel,
last week, is seeking a.
structural change in the
work of American Zionist
organizations. _
Rabbi Joseph Sternstein,
president of the American
Zionist Federation, said the
structural change will in- -
volve the creation of "a un-
ified and coordinated
structure of Zionist leader-
ship, in place of the current
two-pronged set-up which
comprises the AZF and the
American Section of the
WZO." He stressed that no
merger of the two bodies is
intended.
Another objective of the
structural revision, Sterns-
tein said, "is to vest greater
control and authority in the
American Zionist leader-
ship."
He said that it is impor
tant to enlarge and in many
cases institute an active
Zionist presence in the local
Jewish communities in
America.
