Aviv (JTA) — Israel has
refused to offer an apology
demanded by Sweden for the
1948 assassination of U.N.
Swedish diplomat, Count Ber-
nadotte, by members of the
underground Stern Gang.
Israel apologized for the
killing immediately after it
occurred 40 years ago.
Sweden insists a second
apology owed because a
former member of the Stern
Gang, Yehoshua Zeitler, ad-
mitted to the crime in a
recently published interview
in Yediot Achronot.
Israel rejected the demand
it on grounds that no new
evidence has come to light
since 1948 to warrant another
apology.
The article reported what
has been generally known
over the years, that the Stern
Gang — known by the acro-
nym Lehi — ordered the
murder of Bernadotte.
The Swedish diplomat's
alleged plans to interna-
tionalize Jerusalem and
award the Arabs large areas
of Palestine that Israeli forces
had captured in the 1948 War
of Independence were the
motivation for the
assassination.
Zeitler said he decided to go
on the record because Israel is
again threatened by interna-
tional and internal pressures.
"Our action then (in 1948)
must serve as an example to
the new generation," he said.
Zeitler said four people car-
ried out the assassination,
but that Premier Yitzhak
Shamir, then one of the
leaders of the Stern Gang,
was not directly implicated in
the act.

FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 23, 1988
Montreal (JTA) — Reports
by La Presse, the largest
French language newspaper
in North America, about op-
position to a local Hasidic
community's attempts to
build a second synagogue in
the largely French-Canadian
Outremond neighborhood of
Montreal were called anti-
Semitic by Michael
Crelinsen, executive director
of the Canadian Jewish
Congress.
La Presse was accused of
playing to racial prejudices
and fears in a front-page story
last week headlined "Out-
remond Discovers a Jewish
Problem."
The article, written by Roch
Cote, defined the problem less
in terms of the so far unsuc-
cessful attempts by the
Hasidim to obtain a zoning
variance than by their ap-
pearance and large families.
Use of the phrase "Jewish
problem," moreover, has ugly
connotations for Jews here
because of its Nazi coinage in
the 1930s. Crelinsen called
the article "the most serious
example of hostility against
Jews in years."
The story was accompanied
by color photos of Hasidic
women and children.
Cote described the Hasidic
Jews as "this bizarre minori-
ty with its men in pigtails, all
in black like bogeymen, its
women dressed like onions.
Now Outremond is discover-
ing that its minority has
made little ones and with
their families of often 10 or
more — they really make
babies these peoples — they
will keep taking up more
space."
Winnipeg Is
Losing Jews
Toronto (JTA) — Winnipeg's
Jewish community is aging,
diminishing and moving to
the South End of the city, ac-
cording to a report prepared
by Tbuche Ross Management
Consultants for the Winnipeg
Jewish Community Council's
long-range planning
committee.
The report indicates that
Winnipeg's Jewish popula-
tion has continued the decline
that began in the 1960s,
though population loss has
slowed down, compared with
the period between the 1971
and 1981 censuses.
For 40 years Winnipeg's
Jewish population was sta-
tionary, with a population in
the neighborhood of 20,000.
The peak year was 1961. The
population now stands at just
under 14,500, with 27 percent
over 65. This compares with
23 percent in the 1981 census.
Winnipeg, formerly the
third largest Jewish com-
munity in Canada, now is
closer to fourth and possibly
fifth place, edged out by Van-
couver and rivaled by Ottawa.
