Some 20,000 IDF offi- cers and soldiers visited the museum during the year, mostly to attend one-day seminars given by lecturers .trained by the army's .chief educa- tion officer. - The cultural activities at Beth Hatefutsoth in 1982- 1983 included 140 events, held in the museum's au- ditorium, and opened to the public. Some of these events were held in the form of courses on the history of the Jewish people and Jewish music, others took the form of symposiums, debates, in- terviews and lectures. The symposium on Jewish Theater was part of the first International Con- ference and Festival of Jewish Theater held in Tel Aviv in July 1982. Also, a series of 12 "Zionist Con- frontations" dedicated to clarifying the problems of Zionist ideology prior to the 30th Zionist Congress and a series of discussions on new research into the his- tory of North African Jewry were held at the museum, located in Tel Aviv. -good design costs less at core s Ixoweage store qftWOWMROKMA Marble-Top WINE TABLE Classic BREUER CHAIR $1_ zuoel 4/ 8 - 8 ONE WEEK ONLY!

U.S. Papers Blamed PLO for Jordan Peace Rejection NEW YORK — Most of America's major newspap- ers blamed the Palestine Liberation Organization for Jordan's rejection of President Reagan's Middle East peace plan, according to the Big 50 press survey conducted by the Anti- Defamation League of Bnai Brith. In making the findings public, Abraham H. Fox- man, ADL's associate na- tional director and head of its International Affairs Division, said that of the 37 large-circulation newspap- ers commenting on the is- sue, 36 singled out the PLO for the major share of the blame. He went on to say that many of the editorials in the 36 papers also found fault with King Hussein, other Arab states for their various roles and Israeli attitudes and actions. The survey noted that two papers — Wall Street Journal and the New York Post — which had been critical of the Rea- gan plan when it was first proposed in September 1982, continued their criticisms and declared that "Hussein's rejection of the proposal proved that it was unworkable." The one paper which did not assess blame — Califor- nia's Orange County-Santa Ana Register — seized upon the incident to urge the United States not to involve itself further in Middle East peacemaking. IJA Report Covers Plight of Foreigners in Germany LONDON — Foreign workers in Germany are facing a campaign aimed at undermining their status- and calling for measures to encourage or force them to leave, according to a report by -the Institute of Jewish Affairs (IJA), the research arm of the World Jewish Congress. The campaign has largely been the work of neo-Nazis and extreme right-wing groups, the report claims. The IJA report, under- taken by C.C. Aronsfeld, cites a number of organiza- tions involved in the cam- paign against "guest work- ers." Although official can- vassing for foreign workers ended in 1973, the report says, some 4.6 million workers of non-German ori- gin were living in West Germany as of 1981. This total represents 7.5 percent of the German population. Publications presenting the foreigner as an undesir- able alien have saturated the country, according to the IJA report. One pam- phlet, "Integration of For- eigners is Genocide," pub- lished in 1980, is now in its seventh edition. Let My People Go!
