OF 14 MU 855-0033 Jewish organizations are fighting U.S. Latin America objectives Friday, April 27, 1984 MARK W LANGBERG, D.D.S. and BY DAVID FRIEDMAN Washington — The Re- agan Administration has long sought support from the American Jewish com- munity for its policies in Central America. President Reagan in recent speeches before Jewish and non- Jewish groups has re- peatedly asserted that the Communist Sandinista re- gime in Nicaragua has used threats and harassments to force vitually every Nicara- guan Jew to flee his coun- try." The other side was stressed recently by nine rabbis and Jewish political activists who visited Jewish members of Congress to urge opposition to the Ad- ministration's Central America policy as part of Central America Week, sponsored by the Religious Task Force on Central America. Organized by the New Jewish Agenda and the Union of American Hebrew Congregations, the Jewish group presented' Jewish Senators and Representa- tives with literature from Jewish organizations op- posed to the Administra- tion's policies. Rabbi Gerald Serotta, a member of the national steering committee of the New Jewish Agenda, said the delegation sought to make clear that many Jews "deplore the aggressive and dangerous policies of this Administration, as well as their means of selling them. Although there are impor- tant issues of anti-Semitism in Latin America which must be addressed, the cyn- ical attempt by the Reagan Administration to attract Jewish support by mis- statements and exaggera- tion must be condemned." The literature distributed by the Jewish group op- posed U.S. intervention in Central America, called for rejecting aid requests not firmly tied to reforms, urged a commitment to address- ing the root causes of the problem in the area and asked for a more humane immigration policy." The move in Congress, launched by Sen. Daniel Moynihan (D-N.Y.), to have the United States Embassy in Israel moved from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem seems to be gathering steam despite the strong opposition of the Administration. The group of fundamen- talist Christians which each year sponsors the National Prayer Breakfast in Honor of Israel has urged "the im- mediate relocation" of the embassy to Jerusalem. More than 550 Christian leaders signed a "1984 Proc- lamation of Blessing" in support of Israel which noted: "Indeed the Scrip- tures establish Jerusalem as the eternal and indivisi- ble capital of Israel. There- fore, may the Holy City never be internationalized. Further, it behooves America, in light of its enduring relationship of `blessing' Israel, to establish the United States Embassy in Jerusalem." In a letter to members of Congress, Terry Risenhoover, chairman of the National Prayer Break- fast, stressed that to use Jerusalem as "a bargaining chip is an affront both to America's moral commit- EDMUND J. ELKINS, D.D.S. ment to democracy and a signal to those surrounding states still in a declared state of war with Israel that we somehow do not fully recognize the legitimate government of Israel." Risenhoover stressed that "millions of Bible-believing Christians side with us in making Jerusalem the rec- ognized capital of Israel, and as such, the only place worthy for the U.S. Em- bassy, notwithstanding the voices of those who wish to either weaken or destroy Is- rael." • The U.S. Department of Agriculture reports that American and Israeli ag- ricultural researchers are working together to see if spiders can be used to help farmers increase their out- put and cut down their use of chemical pesticides. This is one of many projects of the Binational Agricultural Research and Development Fund set up by the two countries in 1977. The Israeli and American researchers began survey- ing spiders in the U.S. and found more than 130 species in the Florida citrus groves. They found that certain spiders are effective in de- stroying cotton-damaging larvae and scale insects that attack citrus fruit. By using the spiders against these in- sects, farmers could delay spraying their fields with chemical pesticides. By test- ing how susceptible various spiders are to pesticides, the researchers hope to create an environment where spiders can multiply while helping to fight against crop losses. announce the merger of their offices for the practice of GENERAL DENTISTRY 18451 W.
