Turner Sorry
For CNN Goof

Jerusalem (JTA) — The
president of Cable News
Network, Ted Turner, has
apologized to Hebrew Uni-
versity Professor Israel
Gutman for the
"unintentional" distortion
of an interview the Israeli
scholar gave CNN last year.
Gutman, a Holocaust sur-
vivor and leading researcher
at the Yad Vashem Holo-
caust memorial and muse-
urn, told the Jewish Tele-
graphic Agency last week
that he was not fully
satisfied with Turner's
letter, but would not pursue
the matter further.
The apology was for the
way CNN used remarks
made by Gutman in a May
1989 interview concerning a
decision by the West Bank
Jewish township of Ariel to
require Arab laborers it
employed to wear
distinguishing tags.
The broadcast seemed to
imply that Gutman was
comparing the Ariel or-
dinance — which came under
fire and was swiftly
withdrawn — to the in-
famous yellow star the Nazis
forced Jews to wear.

Immigration
Sparks Protest

United Nations (JTA) —
The Islamic bloc here is
demanding that the United
Nations take immediate ac-
tion to curtail Soviet Jewish
immigration to Israel,
charging that the Jewish
state plans to settle Soviet
Jews "in the Palestinian and
Arab lands under the illegal
occupation of Israel since
1967."
Dr. Hamid Algabid, secre-
tary-general of the Organ-
ization of the Islamic Con-
ference, sent a message to
Javier Perez de Cuellar last
week asking both the U.N.
secretary-general and U.N.
bodies "to take urgent and
effective action" on the
question of Soviet Jewish
emigration.
The Soviet Union has sug-
gested that the subject of
Jewish immigration to
Israel be discussed by the
United Nations.
