Cardinal Will Aid Jewish
Couple to Find Their Son

By RABBI MARC H.
TANENBAUM

(A Seven Arts Feature)

I recently reported on two
elderly Polish Jews, Mr. and
Mrs. Leon Erlichster, who
have been agonizing since
the end of World War II over
trying to see their son,
Lolek.
He was raised as a
Catholic monk after being
taken from his parents dur-
ing the war.

Erlichsters made repeated
visits to Poland to try to find
their Lolek but Catholic and
civil authorities denied
them that right. At the par-
ents' request, I wrote to
Cardinal Jean-Marie Lus-
tiger, the Archbishop of
Paris and Primate of
France, and asked him to
intervene. Born himself of
Polish Jewish parents who
perished in Auschwiti, and
converted as a youth to
Catholicism; Cardinal Lus-
tiger, I reasoned, would
understand better than
most.
This week I received a
reply from the Cardinal:
"Your letter raises a mat-
ter that seems to me to be
particularly grave. I can
assure you that I shall do
everything to enable Mr.
and Mrs. Erlichster to
find their son, Lolek. I
understand that the par-
ents wish before their
death to see their son who
was lost for 40 years. It
involves the honor of the
Church to do everything
to make this possible."
" Cardinal Lustiger, now in
Rome to receive his red hat,
added: "After my arrival in
Rome, I shall transmit a
copy of your letter to Cardi-
nal Glemp, Archbishop of
Warsaw and Primate of Po-
land. Furthermore,' I shall
vigorously insist that he
treat this matter as impor-
tantly as I." —

Arm Sales Poll .

TEL AVIV (JTA) — A
public opinion poll pub-
lished by the Jerusalem
Post shows strong bi-
partisan opposition to Is-
raeli arms sales to countries
governed by dictatorships.
The poll showed 35.2 per-
cent of the respondents were
against selling arms to "ra-
cist and dictatorial re-
gimes."
Respondents who favored
arms sales only to demo-
cratic regimes amounted
27.9 percent.
Asked if Israel should
take into account the
kind of regime it sold
arms to, 27.5 percent of
the respondents said Is-
rael should sell to any
country, irrespective of
the kind of government it
had.
Questioned specifically
about arms sales to Argen-
tina, 53.8 percent responded
positively, 29.1 percent
were opposed and 17.1 per-
cent were undecided.

JERUSALEM (JTA) —
Finance Minister Yoram
Aridor will ask South Africa
for more economic aid dur-
ing his visit to Pretoria this
week. He will also repor-
tedly ask that South Africa
lift the taxes, at least par-
tially, on goods imported
from Israel. South Africa
imposed those taxes about a
year ago.
Aridor is also expected to
request the expansion of
fishing rights for Israeli
boats in South African
waters. Most of the issues to
be discussed are part of
existing agreemets which
Israel and South Africa
signed five years ago.

In medieval times, the
Jews were the personal
property of emperors and
kings, bishops and other
overlords, and were re-
quired, to pay huge sums of
money for "protection."
