Head Of French Jews
In Europarliament?

Paris (JTA) — Jean Kahn,
head of the French Jewish
community and president of
the European Jewish Con-
gress, expressed surprise at
rumors circulated by a Fren-
ch Jewish weekly last week
that he might be a candidate
for the European Parlia-
ment, the legislative body of
the European Union.
Mr. Kahn returned here
last week from a four-day
meeting in Washington of
the World Jewish Congress
to learn that La Tribune
Juive had published a story
that he is highly placed on
the list of candidates for the
parliament.
The article quoted sources
close to Prime Minister
Eduard Balladur as saying
Mr. Kahn had a "good rank-
ing," which indicates con-
siderable assurance of being
elected.
A similar article ran in the
French daily Le Monde,
quoting Agence France
Presse news agency for the

information.
Some people who know Mr.
Kahn said they thought he
probably knew of his can-
didacy in advance and was
less than surprised.
In fact, he carefully avoid-
ed denying that he would
eventually be a candidate to
the European Parliament.
The international body
meets in Strasbourg, where
Mr. Kahn is an industrialist.
He has never publicly ex-
pressed affiliation with the
ruling center-right parties.
If Mr. Kahn, who is presi-
dent of CRIF, the secular
umbrella body of Jewish
groups in France, does in-
deed run for the European
Parliament, this would be a
first for an active leader of
the Jewish community.
Presidents of CRIF have
always been careful to re-
main politically uncom-
mitted. This way they have
avoided turning CRIF into a
political outcast in case the
government changes.
