Reform Body
Backs ACLU

New York (JTA) — The
social justice arm of Reform
Judaism in the United States
has denounced what it calls
"the effort to make member-
ship in the American Civil
Liberties Union appear to be
subversive, unpatriotic and
somehow anti-American."
The statement, issued Mon-
day by the Commission on
Social Action of Reform
Judaism, named no culprit.
The ACLU has become an
issue in the presidential race
between Vice President
George Bush, the Republican
candidate, and Gov. Michael
Dukakis of Massachuetts, his
Democratic opponent.
Bush has referred to
Dukakis as a "card-carrying
member" of the ACLU, a
phrase that gained currency
with respect to the Com-
munist Party during the hey-
day of Sen. Joe McCarthy.

'Who Is A Jew'
Is Discussed

Jerusalem (JTA) — The
American Jewish Congress
approved a resolution at its
70th annual convention this
week urging Israel's political
parties not to use the inflam-
matory "Who is a Jew"issue
as a bargaining chip should
they need to form a coalition
government after the Nov. 1
elections.
The resolution, adopted
unanimously, stated that any
change in Israel's Law of
Return altering the definition
of a Jew would undermine the
unity of the Jewish people
and alienate the vast majori-
ty of American Jewry.

Israel Battles
Traffic Deaths

Tel Aviv (JTA) — More
Israelis have been killed or
maimed in traffic accidents
than in all the wars fought in
Israel's 40 years of independ-
ence, a traffic safety expert
told a Knesset committee last
week.
Dr. Moshe Becker, of the
highway safety center at the
Haifa Technion, told the com-
mittee investigating the acci-
dent death toll that more
than 16,000 Israelis lost their
lives in traffic accidents and
90,000 were seriously injured
since the state was founded in
1948.
The wars fought by Israel
have claimed 14,500 lives and
left 50,000 wounded.
Israel has one of the highest
traffic death per-capita rates.
