The resolution, originally drafted for the Democratic convention, was prepared by Hier and Commissioner Timothy Hagan of Cleve- land, co-chairman of the Ohio Mondale campaign. The proposed resolution stated, "The Democratic Party takes this opportu- nity to reaffirm its adher- ence to pluralistic princi- ples and to repudaite and completely disassociate it- self from people who pro- mote all forms of bigotry, racism and anti-Semitism." resolution was endorsed by cratic Party's Presidential top officials of the Mondale nomination. campaign at a meeting George Kraft, president which was also attended by of B'nai B'rith Interna- Hyman Bookbinder, the tional, sent a telegram to American Jewish Commit- Jackson offering a meeting tee's Washington represen- with him "at the earliest tative, and Morris Amitay, possible date" aimed at re- the former director of the vitalizing the badly shaken COLOR American Israel Public Af- black-Jewish coalition. fairs Committee.

Mondale repor- tedly did not want a floor fight on affirmative action. Meanwhile, Mondale did not address any issues of particular Jewish concern in his acceptance speech last week except to condemn Soviet "repression of dissi- dents and Jews." It was left to Ferraro and Kennedy to briefly make some remarks aimed at Jews. Many blacks feel Jackson "went out of his way" to apologize to the Jewish community. Jackson said after his speech that he has asked Massachusetts Sen. Edward Kennedy and Percy Sutton, a New York black leader, to convene a meeting of lead- ing blacks and Jews to dis- cuss their differences.

International El Al boycott called for by AFL-CIO New York (JTA) — David Schneider, general man- ager of El Al for North and Central America, said this week that a boycott by the AFL-CIO would not affect the Israeli Airline which has been operating nor- mally despite a four-month strike against it by the In- ternational Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers (IAM). But the announcement by the AFL-CIO in Washing- ton last Friday that it has endorsed a boycott and called on other interna- tional trade unions to do the same was "entirely and absolutely wrong for them to do," Schneider said. He suggested that the boycott was a "gesture" by the AFL-CIO to "indicate its support" for the striking union and charged it was an attempt to apply "political pressure" on El Al after the airline had gone more than half way to resolve the dis- pute with its American em- ployees. According to a statement released by the AFL-CIO last Friday, "The Israel State-owned airlines has re- fused to bargain in good faith and has demanded, wholesale contract conces- sions, including eliminaion of major work rules, a three-year wage freeze and proposls destroying job se- curity." The strike by El Al's American employees began last March 16 when approx- imately 300 employees walked off the job. Of that number, 210 have since re- turned to work and are still embers of their union. IAM president William Wimpisinger was quoted by the AFL-CIO as saying, "The AFL-CIO boycott is the first step in the union's plan to initiate a world-wide boycott of El Al." The IAM has asked the International Metalworkers Federation (IMF) and the International Confederation of Free Trade Unions (ICFTU) also to de- clare official boycotts of the Israeli Airline. "From the beginning of our negotiations we have wanted a settlement of the outlined issues," Schneider has said. "We do not want a break in our relationship with the union and their oppqration which, we have maintained through the years." '
