Southfield, Michigan 358-4085 Mrs. Cardin Favored For Top Leadership Post JAMES D. BESSER Washington Correspondent S hoshana Cardin of Baltimore is the ap- parent frontrunner in the race to replace Seymour Reich as chair of the Con-. ference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations. Mrs. Cardin currently serves as chair of the Na- tional Conference on Soviet Jewry. Mr. Reich will be completing his second and last term in the highly visi- ble leadership position in January. The President's Con- ference leader is often regarded by the media as the primary spokesperson for the American Jewish com- munity. The Conference rep- resents the consensus views of some 50 national Jewish organizations, both secular and religious. Other potential candidates include Robert K. Lifton, president of the American Jewish Congress, and Ruth Popkin, president of the Jewish National Fund. They are believed to want the post very much, but in Jewish communal life it is rare for potential candidates to ac- tively campaign for such positions. "Shoshana is the only can- didate with national stature," said an official with one major Jewish organization. "She is a per- son who exudes competence and confidence. It would be hard to find anybody better able to cope with these perilous times than Shoshana." Mrs. Cardin herself has chosen not to actively cam- paign for the position. "I have been asked to be a candidate, and I am one," she said in a recent inter- view. "But I do not think it is appropriate to campaign. When people ask if they can assist, I say yes. But I am not campaigning." Mrs. Cardin rejected the argument that she may lose because she is a woman. The President's Conference has never had a female chair. "The leadership of these groups are enlightened," she said. "Most of the people there have been working with women in leadership positions over the years, and I don't think this will be a problem." Mrs. Cardin has a record as a trail-blazer. She was the Shoshana Cardin: In line for top spot? first woman to hold the top slots at both the Council of Jewish Federations and the National Conference on Soviet Jewry. More formidable opposi- tion could .come from Or- thodox activists, who re- member Mrs. Cardin's role during the "Who Is a Jew" controversy in 1988. At the time, Mrs. Cardin headed a Cal task force on religious pluralism that urged the Israeli govern- ment to remove the divisive issue from negotiations over the creation of a new government. She argued that proposed changes in Israel's Law of Return would result in "the perceived dis- enfranchisement of millions of Jews." But even opposition from the Orthodox community may be on the wane. "There are some people who worry about her sen- sitivity to Orthodox con- cerns," said one leading Or- thodox activist. "But there is also a recognition that she is a very smart, very tough person who could be very good for the Jewish corn- munity at this point in time." ❑ Court Fines Neo-Nazi Bonn (JTA) — A court in Stuttgart sentenced the editor-in-chief of German Voice, the official organ of the neo- Nazi National Dem- ocratic Party, to a suspended six-month sentence and a $3,000 fine_ Theaccused, Karl-Heinz Vorsatz, refused to repudiate an article he published last January. It claimed that Poles who lived in Germany were responsible for the ex- pulsion and mm-der of mill- ions of Germans.
