Editor's Note: A Jewish
newspaperman's $30,000
bequest, challenged in
the courts, has become an
issue involving the press,
the New York Civil Liber-
ties Union and the Na-
tional Lawyers Guild.
Editorially, under the
title "On Disinheriting
the PLO," the New York
Times on Wednesday
criticized Surrogate
Mary Lambert for oppos-
ing the bequest. The
editorial follows:
"Surrogate Marie Lam-
bert, whose Manhattan
court administers estates
valued at more than $1 bil-
lion a year, is making good
on her campaign pledge to
spice her work with ethnic
politics. She vowed in 1977
to keep funds entrusted to
her care away from banks
that supported the Arab
boycott of Israel.
"It was an injudicious
promise, extraneous to any
qualifications for her office,
but it probably helped her
win. Now she is using her
court to stage a legal dog-
fight over a private bequest
to the Palestine Liberation
Organization.
"Nobody seems to know
why Fred Sparks, a jour-
nalist who died two years
ago, willed one-tenth of his
estate, about $30,000, to the
PLO.
Few would challenge
his right to give the
money while alive, de-
spite the PLO's history of
wretched terrorism. But
Judge Lambert, on her
own initiative, has called
for a hearing on the
organization's right to
receive the bequest. The
current donnybrook was
predictable, but the end
cannot be foreseen.
The judge's summons was
a challenge that the World
Jewish Congress and the
Anti-Defamation League
could hardly be expected to
resist. They relish the
chance to discredit the PLO
and argue that the gift con-
travenes "public policy."
The State Attorney Gen-
eral, Robert Abrams, can
find no precedent for such a
disinheritance, but he, too,
is fascinated by the oppor-
tunity to inquire into the
PLO's structure and pur-
poses.
"The New York Civil
Liberties Union and the Na-
tional Lawyers Guild de-
fend the bequest and de-
nounce the proceedings as a
political inquisition. So do
we. Heaven knows we feel
no tender-heartedness
toward terrorists. But dis-
torting American justice is
too high a price for such
empty propaganda
triumphs.
"Judge Lambert has
set no boundaries for her
inquiry. It could last for
years and bedevil the
judiciary all the way to
the Supreme Court. She
has set no standard that
would protect any other
politically unpalatable
legatee from a court's in-
vasion of personal beliefs
and associations. Tomor-

row's judge may be an
Arab partisan, tomor-
row's victim an organiza-
tion aiding Israel.
"This is not to say the case
lacks legal interest. The is-
sues are fascinating and un-
settled. Does a private gift
of this nature become an act
of New York State because
it passes through the pro-
bate office? Does the Surro-
gate's seal signify state ap-
proval of every bequest and
every beneficiary? Do
President Reagan's denun-
ciations of a 'gang of thugs'
suffice to disqualify the
PLO or 'does its United Na-
tions observer status make
it eligible again? Where
does the probate judge look
for the law?
"Great abstract questions
for lawyers, but New York
has survived without know-
ing the answers. The only
obvious practical benefit
would accrue to the PLO,
which may very well relish
having this unexpected
platform.
"The Supreme Court has
strongly disapproved such
courtroom high jinks. In
1968, an 8-to-1 majority
struck down an Oregon law
that denied bequests to
aliens whose governments
did not accord reciprocal in-
heritance rights to Ameri-
cans.
"That might be a sound
policy, the Court said, but if
so it's for Washington, not
local probate judges, to
make. There's good sense as
well as precedent in that
judgment. What makes
Judge Lambert think she
may so blithely ignore
both?"

ATLANTA (JTA) — Is-
rael will be the honored

phis In May," a month long

phis, Tenn.
Yehoshua Trigor, the
Consul General of Israel for
the southeastern United
States, accepted the invita-
tion on behalf of his gov-
ernment from Tom Hutton,
president of "Memphis In
May," a cultural and trade
event.
During the "Memphis In
May" festival next year, Is-
raeli paintings will be on
display at art galleries in
Memphis, local shops will
carry Israeli goods,
museums will display ex-
hibits from Israel, and local
theaters will present Israeli
plays and films.
