Democrats resolve to dissociate
their party from hate spreaders
Washington (JTA) — The
Democratic National Com-
mittee's executive commit-
tee adopted a resolution dis-
sociating the party from
anyone who preaches anti-
Semitism or any other form
of bigotry.
The 42 members of the
executive committee ap-
proved the resolution in a
telephone poll conducted by
DNC chairman Charles
Manatt at the urging of the
Democratic Party's candi-
date for the presidency
former Vice President Wal-
ter Mondale, according to a
DNC spokesperson.
Rep. Trent Lott (R-Miss.),
chairman of the platform
committee for the Republi-
can National Committee,
said, meanwhile, the plat-
form which will be pre-

have "strong language"
against "anti-Semitism, ra-
cism and bigotry," which he
noted the Democrats had
failed to do at their conven-
tion last month in San
Francisco.
A DNC spokesperson said
that Mondale, in a telegram
to Manatt, had noted that
the Democratic party rules
made it impossible to con-
sider at the convention any
resolution that had not been
approved earlier by the
appropriate committee.
Mondale said that it was
agreed that the party
should issue a statement
that would effectively place
it on record against anti-
Semitism.
platform would repudiate
anti-Semitism and all other
forms of hatred, racism and
bigotry, but at the same
time urged the Republican
leaders to "reject the cur-
rent divisive assault on the
First Amendment's separa-
tion of church and state" as
a further step to discourage
racism and bigotry.

Jewish organizations, in

Jerusalem — A group of
eight scholars, three from
Israel and five from abroad,
have been studying the
Latin Kingdom of
Jerusalem this year at the
Hebrew University of
Jerusalem's Institute for
Advanced Studies. The
scholars, each with his own
particular area of interest,
are dealing with the
Crusader kingdom of
Jerusalem, that began in
1099 with the conquest of
Jerusalem in the First
Crusade, led by Godfrey of
Bouillon, and came to its
end with the fall of Acre in
1291 to the Mamelukes. The
kingdom, at its peak,
encompassed parts of
present-day Israel, Jordan,
Lebanon and Syria.
Jerusalem was its capital
until 1187, when the Sara-
cens, led by Saladin, cap-
tured the city.
"This is a unique program
in my experience," said Dr.
Raymond C. Smail, retired
lecturer in medieval history
and a fellow at Sidney Sus-
sex College, Cambridge
Univesity, England, who is
one of the visiting scholars.
The Hebrew University
has become a world center
for Crusader studies, said
Dr. Smail, thanks to the in- •
ternational reputation
gained over the years by
Prof. Joshua Prawer, pro-
fessor of history at the uni-
versity, and the students he
has developed.
Trade zone
talks ongoing
Jerusalem (JTA) — The
United States and Israel
began their ninth round of
talks on the establishment
of a free trade zone with
both parties expressing op-
timism that an agreement
would be completed before
Sept. 19.
