But two of the most important issues facing the delegates are not mentioned in the manual: namely, who will succeed Leon Dulzin in December as chair- man of the executive, and whether or not Jerold Hoff- berger of Baltimore will elect to run for a second four-year term as chairman of the board of governors. Hoffberger, 68, has kept even his closest associates in the dark over his decision and some say he has not made a final determination yet. The Jewish Agency, charged with overseeing the distribu- tion of about a half billion dollars raised yearly by Diaspora Jewish communities for use in Israel, has come under increasing scrutiny in re- cent years regarding its struc- ture and operations. At the Agency's quarterly meeting in Jerusalem in February, Dulzin, 74, who has long been viewed as symbolic of the patronage and politiciza- tion of the Jewish Agency and World Zionist Organization, agreed to relinquish his chair- manship of both organizations at the end of this year. He had been criticized for his role, or lack of it, in the recent Bank Leumi scandal. The Labor Party's candidate to succeed him will likely be Akiva Lewinsky, treasurer of the Jewish Agency, a veteran insider, though Uri Gordon, who heads the Youth Aliya department, is also vying for the post. American Jewish leaders, who have taken an in- creasingly active role in gover- ning the Jewish Agency in re- cent years, would prefer an "outsider" with an interna- tional reputation to succeed Dulzin. They are reportedly pushing for Simcha Dinitz, the former ambassador to the U.S., or Benjamin Netanyahu, the current ambassador to the U.N. It is unclear, though, whether either of these men would take the post. But while Dulzin's term ex- pires in December, the issue of who will be the chairman of the board of governors is more pressing since Hoffberger's term ends this month. Credited by many with increasing the professionalism of the Jewish Agency, Hoffberger said when Hoffberger: completing a four- year term as chairman of the governing board of the Jewish Agency. he assumed his present position that one term was enough. But there are reports that he has changed his mind since then. Some say that he would prefer to stay in office at least long enough to oversee the elec- tion of a new chairman to suc- ceed Dulzin this winter. Others say that he would rather seek another term than see Morton Mandel of Cleveland succeed him. Another possible suc- cessor, Mendel Kaplan, reportedly has appeared eager to assume the post; another fac- tor against him is that he is from South Africa. Among the issues certain to be discussed at the Assembly are plans for the absorption of large numbers of Soviet Jews; the Council of Jewish Federa- tion's recommendations that the Jewish Agency operate more American-style, with a chief executive officer; funding for non- or anti-Zionist yeshivas; and religious pluralism.

U.S. District Judge Barbara Hackett ruled June 8 that the Clinton Township resident be denaturalized, a move that could lead to his deportation. Leprich is one of three Detroit-area residents accused by the U.S. Justice Depart- ment's Office of Special In- vestigations of concealing their participation in war crimes when they entered the U.S.
