Jerusalem (JTA) — Israel's
Health Ministry has decided to
start proceedings against the
country's largest milk manufac-
turer, after the company admit-
ted to adding a silicone compound
to its long-life milk.
Ministry officials said recent-
ly that Tnuva's adding of the com-
pound to milk is not allowed,
adding that the practice is wide-
spread in the food industry.
Charges also will be filed against
Tnuva on misleading the public
and the ministry about the mat-
ter for several days, the ministry
said.
The silicone compound appar-
ently prevents the milk from
foaming when it is poured from
machines into cartons, according
to an investigative report pub-
lished in the Israeli newspaper
Ma'ariv.
The report also said the addi-
tive caused cancer, though the
ministry said it was noncarcino-
genic.
The incident sparked anger
and panic among Israeli con-
sumers.
Tnuva took out large ads in
newspapers in an effort to dispel
fears. The milk manufacturer
also pulled its products off store
shelves.
Yitzhak Landesman, Tnuva
director general, admitted that
the silicone had been added to the
1 percent milk as an anti-foam-
ing agent. Earlier, Tnuva denied
using the additive in its milk, say-
ing that a silicone agent was safe-
ly used to clean machines at one
of their dairies, in Rehovot.
Mr. Landesman also denied
that the company had original-
ly lied about using silicone. But
he said the director of the Re-
hovot dairy would be suspended.
Health Minister Ephraim
Sneh told Army Radio that the
tests carried out by inspectors do
not identify the silicone com-
pound.

House Arrest
For Protestor

Jerusalem (JTA) — The leader of
a right-wing group was placed
under house arrest after orga-
nizing anti-government demon-
strations that turned violent.
The Petach Tikva Magistrates
Court put Moshe Feiglin, the
head of Zo Artzeinu, under house
arrest for five days for organizing
an illegal gathering, incitement
and endangering human life on
public roads.
Mr. Feiglin and other demon-
strators were arrested in
Jerusalem during a violent
protest against the Israel-Pales-
tinian peace accords. Police used

Washington (JTA) — Less than
one month before the Nation of
Islam's planned "Million Man
March" on Washington, Jewish
leaders are struggling to come up
with an appropriate response.
Concerned that the event could
legitimize Nation of Islam leader
Louis Farrakhan, Jewish leaders
say they feel a responsibility to
voice their objections to the
march.
At the same time, they are
finding it hard to denounce the
event when they essentially sup-
port its goals.
Mr. Farrakhan has declared
Oct. 16 a national "day of atone-
ment," borrowing from the Jew-
ish holy day of Yom Kippur.
He is calling on African Amer-
ican men to "straighten their
backs," take more responsibility
for their communities and com-
mit themselves to a restoration
of values.
In addition to marching on the
nation's capital, he is asking
African Americans across the
country to stay away from jobs,
shopping malls and schools as
part of an economic boycott.
Although acknowledging that
the event "in itself presents a
laudable goal which all Ameri-
cans of conscience can support,"
Abraham Foxman, national di-
rector of the Anti-Defamation
League, said it simultaneously
"holds the potential for advanc-
ing the influence of one of Amer-
ica's most vocal hatemongers and
anti-Semites."
"We think people of good will
who are opposed to bigotry should
not march with a bigot," Mr. Fox-
man said.
But he added that no one
should infringe on African Amer-
icans' right to choose their own
leaders and chart their own po-
litical course.
In weighing a response, Jew-
ish leaders say they must also re-
main sensitive to the potential
strain an antagonistic stance
could put on black-Jewish rela-
tions.
Among the march's support-
ers is Philadelphia Mayor Ed-
ward Rendell, who is Jewish.
Although he has not endorsed
the march, Mr. Rendell said he
supports the goals of the event,
downplaying Mr. Farrakhan's
sponsorship.
His position has been sharply
criticized by some segments of the
Philadelphia Jewish communi-
ty, who say support for the march
and support for Mr. Farrakhan
are inseparable.
People familiar with the event
say it could draw more people
than the famed 1963 March on
Washington, which brought out
250,000 to demonstrate for civil
rights.
