Poland Blasted
On Restitution

$62,200, with the money expected
to go to Pearl's widow, Mariane, and
their infant son, Adam.•

Washington/JTA — Poland has not
done enough to return Jewish prop-
erty seized by the Nazis, U.S. law-
makers said.
At a hearing on Capitol Hill, law-
makers agreed with the assessment of
Jewish officials who testified at the
session, charging that Polish officials
have made little effort at restitution.
"We have a strong sense that Poland
has let all of us down," said Rep.
Christopher Smith, R-N.J., who has
been closely involved in monitoring
restitution efforts.
President Bush is expected to raise
the issue when he meets with
Poland's president.

Pearl Family
Is Grateful

New York/JTA — The family of
slain Wall Street Journal reporter
Daniel Pearl said they "were grateful
for the tireless efforts by authorities
in Pakistan and the United States" to
seek justice for Pearl's murderers.
After a Pakistani court convicted
four Islamic terrorists in the kidnap-
slaying, Pearl's family issued a state-
ment saying, "Today's verdict is the
first chapter in this process. We hope
and trust that the search for the
remaining abductors and murderers
will continue, so that all accom-
plices in this unthinkable crime will
be brought to justice."
In a videotape released earlier this
year, Pearl affirmed his Jewish her-
itage before being executed by his
abductors. In the verdict, the
British-born kidnap mastermind,
Sheikh Omar, was sentenced to
death. His three accomplices were
given life sentences. They were also
ordered to pay fines totaling
