WE'RE OUT FOR BLOOD. GIVE BLOOD + American Red Cross Fact is, more Americans may die by the fork than by any other weapon. That's because so many of them use it irresponsibly. Like to fill up on high-fat, high- cholesterol foods. Foods that can load the blood with cholesterol, which can build up plaque in their arteries, increasing their risk of heart attacks and threaten- ing their lives. So next time you pick up a fork, remem- ber to handle it as you would any other weapon. For self-defense, not self-destruction.

Jewish, Vatican Leaders Visit Eastern Europe New York (JTA) — Repre- sentatives of world Jewry and Vatican officials will travel together in Eastern Europe next month to implement a 1990 landmark agreement to purge anti- Semitism from Catholic teachings. The agreement, known as the Prague Declaration, came out of a September 1990 meeting of Jewish and Vatican leaders in the Czechoslovak capital, the first between the two sides after three years of strained relations. The final document con- demned anti-Semitism as a sin against God and human- ity and called for systematic efforts to uproot religiously inspired anti-Semitism in liturgy, textbooks, seminary training and Catholic media. The trip, scheduled for Feb. 15-23, will create Jew- ish- Catholic liaison com- mittees in each of the four cities the group will visit. The committees will then oversee the day-to-day implementation of the mea- sures to eradicate any vestiges of anti- Semitism. Five representatives of IJCIC, the International Jewish Committee on Inter- religious Consultations, and three senior Vatican officials will visit Warsaw, Krakow, Prague and Budapest. They will also stop at Auschwitz, to check on the progress of the new Carmelite convent being built a short distance away from the notorious death camp. The nuns now living in a former storehouse on the grounds of Auschwitz are scheduled to be moved into their new quarters by October. In each city they visit, the delegation members will meet with Jewish commun- ity leaders, local and nation- al Catholic authorities, members of local Christian- Jewish cooperative organ- izations, and government of- ficials in charge of inter- religious affairs. One of the Catholic offi- cials with whom the IJCIC representatives may meet is Cardinal Jozef Glemp, Poland's Catholic primate, who was at the center of con- troversy for several years after he made remarks Jews considered anti-Semitic. When Cardinal Glemp visited the United States last October, he apologized to American Jewish leaders for the hurt that he said he may have caused, but fell short of promising to repeat his statements of retraction and regret to his coun- trymen in person once he returned to Poland. The statements he made while in the United States, however, were published in the Polish media. While some American Jewish leaders were satisfied with Cardinal Glemp's efforts to patch ties, many were ambivalent and others were unhappy. It is not yet known precise- ly which Polish Catholic leaders the IJCIC-Vatican delegation will be scheduled to meet with, but if Cardinal Glemp is one of them, it will be up to each member of the Jewish group to decide The Prague Declaration came out of a September 1990 meeting of Jewish and Vatican leaders in the Czechoslovak capital. whether or not he wants to participate, according to a spokesman for Edgar Bronfman, IJCIC's chair- man. "We are not telling the Catholic side who their representatives are, just as they are not telling us who ours are," said Elan Steinberg, executive director of the World Jewish Con- gress and a spokesman for Bronfman, who is president of the WJC. IJCIC was "not willing to let this mission be sidetracked" because of the Cardinal Glemp controver- sy, Mr. Steinberg said. The Jewish participants in the trip include Rabbi A. James Rudin of the Ameri- can Jewish Committee; Rabbi David Rosen of the Anti-Defamation League; Rabbi Stanley David, Dr. Leon Feldman and Rabbi Mark Winer of the Syn- agogue Council of America; and Gerhart Riegner of the World Jewish Congress, who will represent IJCIC's Euro- pean secretariat. Implementation of the Prague Declaration will also be high on the agenda when Jewish and Vatican repre- sentatives meet in Baltimore in May.
