LETTERS YOU'RE COVERED With Our T-Shirt! Continued from Page 6 concerns about America's future. At a time when increased attention has been paid to a decline in Jewish voting par- ticipation, I urge all Jewish News readers to exercise their voting right on Nov. 8. Ultimately, public officials and candidates will become less sensitive to our concerns if it is generally perceived that we are abandoning the political process. It is for this reason that this year the Jewish Community Council initiated a voter registration campaign, in conjunction with other groups. When you enter the voting booth on November 8, remember that your vote represents both a choice of presidential candidates and a demonstration of American democracy at work. As Jews who cherish freedom, we can do no less. Paul D. Borman Jewish Community Council What Is Behind Biased Programs? I wonder how many of us watched the "60 Minutes" show on Oct. 23 and felt the bias against Israel, AIPAC and the Jewish people as I did. In the last few months, I have seen at least three "60 Minutes" segments on Jews, Israel and AIPAC. What is behind all these programs of bias, on a small percentage of the population, a small coun- try like Israel . . .? They can choose from so many other places and people in the world. Yet Mike Wallace brings up the old bogey of $3 billion aid to Israel, and breaks it down to $700 per Israeli. When he well knows that Israel is one of the few countries in the world that pays her debts to this country. Wallace also claimed that Egyptians received $50 per person. What he didn't say is that Egypt receives also around $3 billion a year and doesn't pay her debts .. . Not one word on the hun- dreds of billions of dollars spent by the United States to safeguard the Persian Gulf, Japan, Korea and Europe.

Now we are reading reports that the leadership of all three groups are trying to take over the publicity-shy AIPAC. Please write to the leaders of these three organizations and tell them to keep their hands off AIPAC. AIPAC has done a fine job for the benefit of Israel Moe Yolles Southfield NEWS JNF Angered By Lawsuit New York (JTA) — The Jewish National Fund called a group's lawsuit against the agency an attempt to "prosti- tute a philanthropy for its own misguided political ends." In an angrily worded statement, the JNF specific- ally criticized the mother of one of the four plaintiffs in the lawsuit. Twice postponed at the plaintiffs' request, the suit accuses the philanthropy of misleading contributors into believing JNF allocates funds to Jews all over Israel, in- cluding the territories captured during the 1967 Six- Day War. JNF claimed in last week's statement that it does not sponsor projects in- the ter- ritories out of concern for los- ing its tax-exempt status under federal laws governing contributions outside of the United States. JNF identified Hadassah Marcus, 60, of New York as the "inspirational force behind the lawsuit." According to the JNF, Mar- cus has waged a two-year campaign against the philan- thropy after it returned her $5,000 contribution for a park project in the West Bank set- tlement of Shiloh. Marcus, three of *hose children are residents of the West Bank and whose son Jay is a plaintiff in the lawsuit, is a major supporter of right- wing Zionist organizations. Those organizations sup- port expanding Israel's bor- ders well beyond the so-called "Green Line" established in 1967. Film Festival Set In Tiberias Tel Aviv — The first inter- national Jewish and Israeli Film Festival will be held in Tiberias, Israel, April 15-18.
