CHOLESTERHOLICS EAT
LIKE THERE'S NO TOMORROW

Cholesterholics love rich, fatty foods. They can't seem to get
through a day without lots of meat dripping in gravy. Cream
always goes into their coffee. One sweet dessert leads to
another. But the fact is, these foods can increase the level of
cholesterol in the blood which can lead to heart disease.

But there's a way to help yourself. By cutting down on the fatty
foods in your diet, you could reduce your blood cholesterol
level and perhaps reduce your chance of heart disease.

So if you think you might be a cholesterholic, contact your
American Heart Association for a diet good for life.

FRIDAY, MAY 10, 1991

New York (JTA) — Though
a National Alliance proposal
to end the American Tele-
phone & Telegraph Co.'s
business relationships with
Israel was expected to be
voted down by the vast
majority of AT&T
stockholders at the annual
meeting, the neo-Nazi group
will have succeeded in
achieving its real goal: to
garner increased credibility
for its racist views through
mainstream exposure.
For the Jewish and other
groups fighting the National
Alliance's campaign, efforts
to combat groups of this ilk
are a double-edged sword.
A balance must be careful-
ly struck between exposing
the National Alliance's real
goals to public scrutiny and
not ceding it too much of the
publicity it so hungrily
seeks.
"We never want to give
these groups the visibility
that they don't deserve," ex-
plained Jerome Chanes, co-
director for domestic con-
cerns at NJCRAC, the Na-
tional Jewish Community
Relations Advisory Council.
"At the same time, our
long experience has taught
us that the best counterac-
tion against groups such as
National Alliance is public
exposure. When groups such
as this are exposed as the
racists that they are, the
American body politic and
individual Americans repu-
diate them."
The Arlington, Va.-based
National Alliance, an
outgrowth of the Liberty
Lobby and the American
Nazi Party, was able to get a
proposal urging the tele-
communications company to
"phase out all sales of AT&T
products and services to the
State of Israel and to Israeli
businesses" included in
AT&T's proxy statement.
The group, headed by
William Pierce, owns 100
shares of the blue-chip stock,
just enough to allow it to use
the proxy as a vehicle for its
views, according to Securi-
ties and Exchange Commis-
sion regulations.
Each year since National
Alliance bought its stock
late in 1987 it has included a
proposal in the AT&T proxy
statement.
In 1988, 1989 and 1990,
the proposals urged
shareholders to vote to force
AT&T to end its affirmative
action program. Each year
the proposal was rejected by
at least 91.2 percent of

AT&T's approximately 1.09
billion shareholders.
At the end of the National
Alliance proposal in this
year's proxy, AT&T urges
shareholders to vote against
it, a move which was lauded
by Anti-Defamation League
of B'nai Brith leadership
when the proxy was first
made public late in
February.
The company's directors
this year noted that "clearly,
the (National Alliance) is us-
ing the proxy process not to
attempt to advance human
rights, but to achieve anti-
Semitic goals."
One way to make sure that
investors know what the Na-
tional Alliance is really
about is to work with
AT&T's shareholders.
Another way to get the
message across is through
the largest shareholders,
some of which are state pen-
sion funds, which invest
huge sums.
The resolution has strong
leadership support, with the
co-sponsorship of both the
majority and minority
leaders, and was expected to
pass when it came to a vote
on the eve of the shareholders
meeting, which is being held
in Chicago.
Though this is the first
group to try to use an AT&T
proxy "to espouse a social
philosophy," AT&T spokes-
man Burke Stinson said he
suspects "there will be more
of this."

Soviets Pledge
In Fund-raiser

Chicago (JTA) — Approx-
imately 300 Soviet Jewish
immigrants pledged more
than $52,000 at a brunch
held here last week by the
Chicago Soviet Jewish com-
munity on behalf of the Jew-
ish United Fund-Israel
Emergency Fund and
Operation Exodus cam-
paigns of the Jewish Federa-
tion of Metropolitan
Chicago.
According to Alex Basov,
co-chairman of the event,
Soviet Jews feel that it is the
least that they can do to
meet an urgent need.
There are about 15,000
Soviet Jews in the Chicago
area, 6,600 of whom have
come since 1987.
The State Department has
granted refugee status to
another 2,600 Soviet Jews
still waiting for permission to
leave the Soviet Union.
