Despite the recent con-
troversy over her use of old
letters, Ann Landers re-
mains one of the world's
most popular syndicated
columnists.
Miss Landers, who earlier
this month acknowledged
that she had been recycling
revised versions . of 15-
year-old letters in her ad-
vice eolumns without label-
ing them as such for the past
18 months, has received
thousands of letters and
phone calls urging her to
"carry on," according to the
Field Newspaper Syndi-
cate. Only one paper, out of
the more than 1,000 that
carry the column, decided to

An intimate portrait of
the coltinan and the' woman
behind it has been written
by Miss Landers' daughter,
Margo Howard. "Eppie: The
Story of Ann Landers"
(Putnam) offers a candid
look at how Ann Landers,
nee Eppe Friedman, began
her career more than 25
years ago and also provides
a fascinating picture of
what it was like growing up
with a mother who gave ad-
vice to 70,000,000 people.
From Eppie's famous
feud with her identical
twin sister, Abigail Van
Buren, to Margo's own
life as the child of a
workaholic father and
celebrity mother to the
full story of her parents'
divorce after 36 years of
marriage and her own
two divorces and remar-
riage td actor Ken How-
ard, "Eppie" becomes a
multiple biography of an
exceptional family.
Ann Landers started life
as Esther Pauline Fried-
man, one half of the egg that
also became Pauline Esther
Friedman. They soon be-
came' "Eppie" and "Popo."
They shared clothes,
friends, dates and even a
honeymoon after their dou-
ble wedding ceremony.

In 1954 the Lederer fam-
ily moved to Chicago, partly
to get away from Popo's
overwhelming presence in
Eau Claire, Wis. Eppie was
restless but soon found what
she wanted to do right in
The Chicago Sun-Times.
She would volunteer to help
"Ann Landers" answer her
mail. But the "Ann, Land-
ers" columnist had just died.

Conservative
Rabbis Reported
in Short Supply

KIAMESHA LAKE, N.Y.
(JTA) — The Conservative
branch of Judaism has a
continued shortage of newly
ordained rabbis which
necessitates seeking new
spiritual leaders in 104
larger and smaller congre-
gations in the United States
and Canada, according to a
report presented to the
Rabbinical Assembly's con-
vention here.
Rabbi Gilbert Epstein, di-
rector of the assembly's
community -services, said
that despite the fact that the
Jewish Theological .Semi-
nary of America will be or-
daining 27 new rabbis this
month, "We will continue to
be short of rabbis and this
year's ordination hardly
meets our immediate re-
quirements."

Econothic Aid

WASHINGTON (JTA) —
The State Department has
decided to release the re-
maining half of Israel's eco,
nomic aid for the 1982 fiscal
year, Sen. Arlen Specter
(R-Pa.) announced. Israel
will now receive $400 mil-
lion due it.

So, with 20 other contes-
tants she entered the
competition to become her
successor — and won. Eppie
had never held a job, much
less written a line for publi-
cation; her qualifications,
according to Margo, were
that "she was opinionated,
sure of herself and not av-
erse to minding other
people's business."
After a few months in
her new job without any
secretarial help, Eppie
accepted Popo's offer to
assist with the mail. She
taught her the whole op-
eration. Then the ax fell,
and one ,of the more
famous sister feuds on
record began. It was an-
nounced that Popo was
starting a similar column,
"Dear Abby," in the San
Francisco Chronicle.
For many years, writing
as Ann Landers, Eppie ad-
vised troubled married
couples to stay together —
to get counseling and work
hard to save the marriage.
Then, in a poignant column
that stunned her readers,
she announced the end of
her own marriage to Jules,
her husband of 36 years.
Margo Howard attended
Brandeis University. She
has been a columnist for the
Chicago Tribune Syndicate
and later for the Chicago
Daily News.
