Hedging Bets On
Hate Crimes Case

For Jewish groups, the pres-
idential transition requires
some clever long-range
planning. A case in point
centers on the Supreme
Court's recent decision to
take up a Wisconsin hate-
crimes statute.
The Anti-Defamation
League, the leading voice in
efforts to put teeth in hate
crimes laws, has favored the
"penalty enhancement" ap-
proach, which increases
penalties for crimes based on
racial, religious, ethnic or
gender bias.
But that approach was
jeopardized by several recent
state supreme court deci-
sions, including Wisconsin's,
which struck down a hate
crimes measures based
largely on the ADL model.
Now that the U.S.
Supreme Court has agreed
to hear the case, ADL has
sent a letter to Attorney
General William Barr ask-
ing the Justice Dept. to file a
brief on behalf of the
disputed law.
But briefs in the case are
due on Jan. 27, seven days
after Bill Clinton's inau-
guration.
So ADL, hedging its bets,
has also written to Peter
Edelman, the Georgetown
University law professor
who is heading the transi-
tion's justice and civil rights
cluster.
"We have informed him
that we have written to
Justice, and are hopeful it
will file," said Michael
Lieberman, ADL's Washing-
ton counsel. "But if it

doesn't, we want to make
sure he knows that there is
still a week-long window of
opportunity in which the
new administration could
act."
During the presidential
campaign, Mr. Clinton in-
dicated that he supports the
concept of penalty enhance-
ment. If his new Justice
Department acts quickly, it
could help produce a
Supreme Court decision that
validates that approach.

Sneak Preview
Set at Museum

While Washington prepares '-
for the Jan. 20 inauguration
of Bill Clinton, Jewish ,
groups are also making their
own plans.
One of the most important
Jewish events will occur a
few blocks away from the
White House at the Holo-
caust Memorial Museum,
which is in the final stages of
construction just off the
Mall.
•
Inauguration attendees
will get a sneak preview of
the unique, disturbing mu-
seum at a special open house
for invited guests the day
before the inaugeration.
Potentates who do not make
that select list can view the
museum at on Monday and
Tuesday of inauguration
week.
These events will be the
first public unveiling of the
museum, which will open on
April 22. ❑

Hungarian Vandals
Torch Rabbi's Home

Budapest (JTA) — An arson
attack caused damage but no
injuries at the apartment of
a .rabbi in central Budapest
last week.
The door to the second-
floor flat in an apartment
building was demolished by
the explosion of a gas con-
tainer that had been soaked
in gasoline. Inside the
apartment, Rabbi Tamas
Lowi, his wife and two small
children escaped injury.

As a result of the attack,
security measures will be in-
troduced at the homes of
Jewish communal leaders,
said Gusztav Zoltai, chair-
man of the Jewish commun-
ity. Until now, security was
confined to Jewish commu-
nal offices.
Police say the arson attack
was one of a series in the
area over the last few weeks
and carried no special anti-
Semitic overtones.
