post as president of the
Associated to head the foun-
dation. William Bernstein,
senior vice president of the
Associated, is given the in-
side track to succeed Mr.
Friedman.
The Harry and Jeanette
Weinberg Foundation's
charter stipulates that 25
percent of its annual
disbursements will go to
organizations that primarily
benefit Jews, and 25 percent
to organizations that
primarily benefit non-Jews.
The remaining 50 percent
will go to any groups — Jew-
ish or non-Jewish — deemed
worthy by the foundation's
trustees.
Mr. Stiller noted that the
primary guideline laid down
by Mr. Weinberg is that all
monies distributed help the
"poor," loosely defined in
the foundation's charter as
persons "whose financial
resources are less than the
financial resources of 50 per-
cent (of their) relevant com-
munity."
Mr. Weinberg did not
delineate any geographic
limitations on
disbursements, which means
that the trustees are equally
free to give money to Israel's
homeless as they are to
Baltimore's. Mr. Stiller
specifically said in an inter-
view that Soviet Jews in
Israel, the Jews of Ethiopia,
or impovished Jews in East-
ern Europe will likely
benefit.

Fisher, Three Others
Fail To Move Bush
Washington (JTA) — Four
longtime associates of Presi-
dent George Bush —in-
cluding Max Fisher of
Detroit — apparently failed
to move the president to
schedule a meeting with
Israeli prime minister Yit-
zhak Shamir when the latter
visits New York Dec. 10.
The four — Mr. Fisher;
George Klein of New York;
Jacob Stein of Great Neck,
N.Y., and Gordon Zacks of
Columbus, Ohio — put
together an initiative to help
Mr. Bush avoid a replay of
last November, when Mr.
Bush met with Mr. Shamir,
but only after waiting until
just six days before the
premier's arrival to invite
him to the White House.
The four Jewish Repub-
lican leaders met with Mr.
Bush Oct. 22 with the in-
itiative high on their agenda
and reportedly urged the
president to meet with Mr.
Shamir.
But they got the "cold
shoulder" from the presi-
dent, who did not respond to
their urging, according to a
source not present at the
meeting.
Although Mr. Shamir has
not requested a meeting
with President Bush at this
time and may not because of
the Persian Gulf crisis, the
failure to have such a
meeting would be viewed
with concern by the Ameri-
can Jewish community.
Mr. Shamir is coming to
New York to receive the
Defender of Jerusalem
Award from the Jabotinsky
Foundation.
Last fall, Mr. Bush's stall-
ing angered many in the
Jewish community, who
charged that the Israeli
leader was being insulted.
In a telephone interview
Oct. 30, Mr. Stein refused to
confirm the report on the
meeting, explaining that all
those present agreed not to
comment on the conversa-
tion with Mr. Bush.
But Mr. Stein acknowl-
edged that one of the prob-
lems between Israel and the
United States is a "lack of
personal relations" between
the top officials of the Bush
administration and the
Shamir government. Good
personal relations have
always resulted in good rela-
tions between the two coun-
tries, he said.
Mr. Hoenlein agreed that
good personal relations are
necessary, but expressed
doubt that Mr. Bush was
urged to meet with Mr.
Shamir. He said such a
meeting would first have to
be requested by the Israeli
leader.
