"perverse.'
The organization formally be-
gan about four years ago at San
Francisco State University, al-
though manager Martha Frankel
called it "a movement that's
been going on for 2000 years."
Although Nadler admitted that
the group presently consists of
only about 30 members nation-
wide, he claimed that 67,000
Jews "adopt Jesus" each year.
"We've run across many thou-
sands at college campuses," he
said.
"WE THINK that the promise
of the old testament has been
fulfilled," he explained. "Jesus
came, meeting all the require-
ments of the messiah-and just
because we believe in him
doesn't mean we're not Jewish."
According to the "Israel's
Remnant" literature, "We can't
get ourselves together, let alone
find god and get together with
him! But god has made one day
for all ages when men can find
atonement-the day when Jesus
the messiah died for our sins."
Nadler said that he and the
other "Jews for Jesus" mem-
bers "attend synagogue regu-
larly," adding, "Where else
should a Jewish person be on
Friday night or Saturday?"
FRANKEL, wearing a sweat-
shirt emblazoned with a Star of
David, did not feel that adopt-
ing Jesus had made her a
"Christian" in the usual sense
of the word. "I'm still a Jew,"
she maintained.
Also asserting their faith were
the six "Wailing Wall" per-
formers who wore star of David
pins or patches on their blue
denim uniforms.
Nadler would not specifically
state how the group's tours and
performances were financed,
saying only that "isdividual con-
tributions" were involved.

The lengthy appeals process

and dieldrin even during the
limited period with which we
are concerned presents a sig-
nificant potential of an unrea-
sonable risk of cancer in the
American public," Perlman
wrote.
THE ENVIRONMENTAL De-
fense Fund, the citizen group
whose legal actions resulted in
banning DDT, has been seeking
suspension and cancellation of
aldrin and dieldrin since 1970,
arguing their cancer threat.
Shell Chemical Company, the
sole U. S. manufacturer of al-
drin and dieldrin, has been
fighting the ban, arguing that
cancers caused by aldrin and
ddieldrin in test animals do
not prove they cause cancer in
people.
Perlman sharply rejected that
argument, citing scientific
practice and evidence support-
ing the use of laboratory ani-
mals to detect human cancer-
hazards.
BASED ON available evi-
dence, Perlman concluded, "Al-
drin and dieldrin pose a high
risk of causing cancer in man."
Perlman said it takes many
years for the full cancer im-
pact of chemicals to appear in
the human population and the
government cannot wait until
enough human cancer cases
prove the earlier suspicions.
"It would be be irresponsible
in the extreme to pursue such a
course.

ANOTHER emergency com-

wasn't a tree left standing in
Trujillo" after Fifi raked the
area with 110 mile per hour
sustained winds that gusted to
140 miles an hour.
The Mexican Weather Bureau
said Fifi, reduced to a tropical
storm, on yesterday was 70
miles southeast of Ciudad del
Carmen on the Caribbean coast
of Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula.
Fifi, last reported to be pack-
ing 50 m.j.h. winds, was head-
ing west-northwest toward the
Mexican east coast port of Vera-
cruz.
THE HONDURAN Emergency
Committee spokesman said sev-
eral towns in northern Honduras
remained cut off by flooding
that destroyed bridges, roads
and communications and inun-
dated air strips.
Another committee spokes-
man said relief organizers fear-
ed for those people who were
isolated, without drinking water,
medicine, food and clothing.
The spokesman said disease
was becoming a major threat.
