Yet no less a personage than President Francois Mitterrand saw fit to remind the assembled leaders of France's 700,000 Jews that a resurgence of European anti- Semitism is not impossible. The chief of state flew to this ancient city in eastern France, long a center of Jew- ish life, to address a com- memorative conference marking the anniversary. He used the occasion to question whether tolerance and the cause of human rights have really triumph- ed in the half-century "since the martyrdom of French Jewry." "Some words one hears, sacrilegious inscriptions and the desecration of Jewish graves lead us to believe that the filthy beast (of anti- Semitism) still lurks in the shadows," Mr. Mitterrand said. The president came here as the guest of CRIF, the Representative Council of French Jewish Organiza- tions. Defiance as well as vestiges of unease were ap- parent in the remarks of former Justice Minister Robert Badinter, who chaired the conference. "The times of the shameful Jew are over. There will never again be a shameful Jew in France," declared Mr. Badinter, who is Jewish. "It so happens we are French. That's the way we are, born of French parents or French by the right of soil. The way we are seen by others does not bother us anymore, except when we find in that look a hidden spark of hatred." He was alluding to the growing popularity of the extreme right-wing politi- cian, Jean-Marie Le Pen, a xenophobic rabble-rouser who has dismissed the gas cham- bers as merely "a detail" of World War II. "We are neither pro- vocateurs nor arrogant peo- ple, but we will never accept that a difference be claimed (between Jews and other French citizens) even for a `detail,' " Mr. Badinter said. A recent poll showed that only 9 percent of the French electorate would vote against a Jewish presiden- tial candidate solely because he is Jewish. That was down from 50 percent in a 1966 poll. The bicentennial com- memorates the Sept. 27, 1791, decree by the French Revolution's Constituent Assembly that granted citizenship and full rights to French Jewry after cen- turies of oppression. At the time, there were barely 40,000 Jews in France, most of them poor peddlers and shopkeepers. Although there have been episodes of naked anti- Semitism in France, espe- cially during the Dreyfus trial in the late 19th cen- tury, the rights granted in 1791 have been suspended only once during the past 200 years, from 1940 to 1945 by the Vichy regime, which stripped French Jews of all their rights and abandoned them to the Nazi occupiers of France. Bomb Blast Kills Soldier Tel Aviv (JTA) — A soldier of the Israeli-allied South Lebanon Army was killed and two others were injured by roadside bomb explosions in the security zone Israel maintains in southern Leb- anon. Three bombs detonated at different times during the day. Hezbollah, the Islamic fundamentalist militia, claimed credit. . The SLA retaliated by pouring heavy gunfire into Shi'ite villages just north of the zone from where the militiamen may have come. The shelling went on for six hours, severely damag- ing houses in four villages, according to sources of the • United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon. The first bomb, the only one that was fatal, exploded at about 6 a.m. local time. It killed an SLA soldier who was checking a road crossing near Beit Yahoun, over which hundreds of Lebanese villagers would soon pass on their way to jobs. A second blast went off a short time later, near an SLA outpost adjacent to A- Tireh village. It caused no casualities. But a third blast wounded two SLA men.
