(JTA) — A George Bush campaign ad- vertisement that ran in eight Jewish newspapers in New York and New Jersey has drawn an angry response from Thomas Dine, executive director of AIPAC, the Amer- ican Israel Public Affairs Committee. Dine is quoted in the ad as calling the Republican plat- form "the best ever — by either party." The ad was placed by Victory '88, a New Jersey state Republican Par- ty unit. Dine charged in a letter that the ad quotes him in a way that distorts his state- ment and implies he is recom- mending the Republican pres- idential candidate. "The truth is," he con- tinued, "that I have not made any such statement of prefer- ence and do not intend to do so, because both candidates have taken very strong posi- tions in support of the U.S.- Israel relationship and Israel's role as the cor- nerstone to U.S. policy in the Middle East." Dine called the ad "ama- teurish and stupid politics," and asked that such an ad not be accepted for publication in the future. Neither Dine nor several sources at AIPAC denied that the words were in fact Dine's — first written in a personal note to someone at the Repub- lican National Convention, then leaked to the Los Angeles Times and later made, in somewhat different form, in an on-the-record ses- Tom Dine: Distorted sion attended by journalists. "Bush-Quayle did not pro- duce the ad; it did not direct the placement of the ad; nor did it distribute the ad," said Mark Neuman, special assis- tant to the deputy campaign manager of Bush-QUayle '88. "The ad that Bush-Quayle produced was a Jewish New Year ad from the vice presi- dent?' The campaign official also pointed out that the ad in question nowhere read "Vote for Bush," with the implica- tion that Dine's words should be read simply as approving the Republican platform and not as endorsing a particular candidate. Neuman stressed that his organization's role is "simply to provide information to sup- porters around the country." He said he would not send out an advisory against using the ad, because "I don't tell state parties what to do." Israeli, American Sight Planet-like Celestial Body Tel Aviv (JTA) — An Israeli and American astronomer are being credited with the discovery of an hitherto unknown "brown dwarf' — a celestial body similar to a planet, too small to give off light. Neither they nor anybody else have actually seen the new celestial body, but they have proved its existence through mathematical calculations of its gravita- tional effect on other celestial bodies. Professor Zvi Mazeh of the ml Aviv University School of Physics and Astronomy, and Professor David Latham of Harvard University reported their findings to an interna- tional conference of astronomers held recently in Baltimore. Their findings were also published in the scientific journal Nature and Science. The scientists, who are now investigating three more - "brown dwarfs," believe that their discovery of a celestial body which does not have the nuclear reactions sufficient to give off light may help to ex- plain the problem called "missing mass," a situation in which more mass has been measured near the sun than can actually be seen. Brown dwarfs may thus ac- count for the missing mass which has puzzled scientists. iP - WV
