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.

'tit 6:00 94 42355 GRAND RIVER Just East of Novi Rd., Novi 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.
