THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS ■ ••••IMINIMISIOMir NEWS 1/2 OFF SPECIALS DEAL WITH FACTORY OUTLET Dems, GOP sign ADL's campaign practices code [-• Washington (JTA) — The chairmen of the Democratic and Republican national committees signed a "Code of Fair Campaign Prac- tices" pledging their parties to "condemn any appeal to prejudice based on race, creed, national origin, gen- der of sexual preference." The code, developed by the Anti-Demfamation League of B'nai D'rith , as it has done in previous presidential election years since the 1950s, was signed in a ceremony at the B'nai B'rith building. "We hope that the very act of the chairmen of our two great parties solemnly signing our code of fair campaign practices will set a civil tone of political de- bate in the months ahead," Nathan Perlmutter, the ADL direetor, declared. He said the candidates also will be asked to sign the code. Charles Manatt, the Democratic national char- man, stressed that "there is no place in politics for prej- udice and unethical be- havior." Frank Fahrenopf, the Re- publican national chair- man, said the code should be adhered to by those running for Congress, state and local offices, as well as president- ial candidates. He said the issues facing Americans on all levels of government are complex and candidates should be judged "solely on their ability' to solve these problems. Perlmutter stressed the point that "campaign rhetoric against one's oppo- nent on the basis of race, creed, national origin or sex, is irrelevant to political ideology; is irrelevant to competency. Conversely, appeals soliciting support on the basis of race, creed, national origin or sex are likewise irrelevant." He said the two appeals "are flip sides of the same coin, a bad-Tenny that depreciates America." The two party chairmen agreed, although they ap- peared to absolve the Rev. Jesse Jackson of any charge that he was basing his can- didacy on his race. Manatt said he understood the code to be aimed at ridding the country of prejudice. But Perlmutter said that, just as it was wrong in the 1950s to appeal in the south on the grounds that a candi- date was white, it is wrong to appeal today on the basis of a candidate being black. "It is wrong because color is irrelevant to competency," he said. He added that ap- pealing to one group on the basis of race "is a form of Lebanizing America." But he would not say if Jackson was doing this. At the same time, Perlmutter said it was , legitimate for Jackson to speak on civil rights to black groups just as it was legitimate for candidates to speak to Jewish groups on Jewish concerns or to dis- cuss farm issues in Iowa and labor in a Detroit auto plant. Manatt noted it was "political reality for blacks to be enthusiastic about a black running for office, just as women were enthusiastic about women seeking office." The code pledges the chairmen and the candi- dates who sign it to "im- mediately and publicly re- pudiate support from any individual or group which resorts, on behalf of my can- didacy or in oppositioh to that of my opponent, to the methods and tactics" con- demned in the code.
