Lashes Media NEW YORK (FTA) Israeli UN Ambassador Chalm Herzog accused the American media of a "complete lack of balance" between the reporting of the death of a single Arab on the West Bank • and multiple killings in Northern Ireland and Lebanon. He told the leaders of the Union of American Hebrew Congregations that the Israeli incident appears in glaring headlines on the front page while the others are buried inside the newspaper. Herzog told the Reform Jewish leaders that such reporting "could hardly be termed objective. Indeed, can we be blamed If we question the objectivity of these reports.." From time to time, be stated, "we point to the fact that we are the subject of discrimination. But what has occurred this week teems to me to go beyond thai Two days running at the beginning of this week the killing of one Arab In the West Bank was cmblazeoed across Uw front pagc& and'In the leading stories in the media. "At the same time, I find on page 11 of a leading newspaper, which gave such prominence to these events, a six line story buried at the bottom of the page, reporting the death toll in the same period In Northern Ireland of 15. Perhaps most indicative of all, I find a story reporting that in the same period which involved the death of three in the West Bank, over 100 were killed and wounded In Lebanon. Some 240 people were killed in one day.- This fact lay buried somewhere in a story on the political struggle In Lebanon." Continuing, Herzog stated: "What Is the reason for this very distorted picture of what is going on in the world.. I can but express very grave concern at the fact that when Israel endeavors to maintain law and order and one casually is regretfully caused, it becomes a major International story, while when a nation is being destroyed, the subject is relegated to a comparatively minor place in the media because it is no longer news."

French Force PARIS (JTA) - President Valery Giscard d'Estalng's offer to send a French army p e a c e k e e p i n g force to Lebanon promptly came under criticism from the opposition in France and from most countries in the Middle Bast. The Lebanese left, led by Kamal Jumblatt, has warned that French Intervention in Lebanon Is dimmed to failure and that France would find itself "in a snare's nest." In spite ol this opposition. Prance Is going ahead with plans to move "if necessary" a force of some 5,000 men and a formidable array of firepower to Lebanon within 612 hours. A naval task force which includes the aircraft carrier "Clemenceau," the helicopter carrier "Jeanne d'Arc" and several cruisers and missile-carrying frigates could also reach Lebanese waters in a matter of hours, French sources say. The President, who first made his offer known on the eve of bis return to France from the United States, is reportedly waiting for an official Lebanese request before ordering the force to move. The French task force, sources here say, would actually "prevent the fighting and separate the combatants" and not resign itself to an observer role. French official sources believe that such a task force would bring the Lebanese fighting to a stop "within a couple of days." The sources say, however, that France wants to obtain the agreement of all the warring parties before moving In. It Is unclear whether this definition covers Syria.

Feldman served as acting Jewish lay leader at Lajis Air Force Base In the Azores. Capt. Feldman is convinced that descendenti of the original Marranos live in the Azores. During his stay on the islands, the Air Force captain, known by many in the community surrounding the base as the "head Jew," was approached by a Portugesespeaking man who, after much questioning of Feldman to make sure that he was, in fact, Jewish, confessed, "I am not a Catholic; I think that I am Jewish." Feldman, curious as to the nature of the man's remark, questioned the native's understanding of Judaism. The Portugese replied: "When I was 13, my father gave me a blessing and told me that I was a man that day. I did the same when my son was 13." The blessing, Feldman discovered, was the "HaMotzi." The Portugese man further Indicated that be did not go to mass on Easter, but, instead be rttually consumed a Oat, w a i t e d cracker.
NEW YORK - Without mentioning or favoring any of the presidential candidates, an editorial in the May issue of Reform Judaism, the official publication of the Union of American Hebrew Congregations, Warns Jews against the exploitation by politicians of legitimate Jewish emotions about Israel and Soviet Jewry.
"We have almost reached the point in the degradation of our political process when a candidate presumes that if he recites ritualistic mumbo Jumbo on issues of Jewish visceral significance, he can turn a Jewish audience into salivating, Pavlovian voters," the editorial declares. "The lesson is that Jews should be In no person's or
Capt. Feldman, startled by the evidence of a Jewish presence in the Azores, began gradually to uncover the facts to corroborate his hypothesis that these "Jews" were descended from the Marranos who f l e d during the Inqulsl(lon. One document Feldman found revealed that a group of shipwrecked Jews landed on the island of Tercelra where the Air Force base Is now located. A Jewish tanning community also existed in the Azores seaside town Porto de Judeao (Port of the Jews) which flourished for a time in the 16th and 17th centuries. In his quest to solve the enigma the Portugesespeaking Jew represented, Capt. Feldman Journeyed to Porto de Judeao where be discovered a Jewish cemetery. And in a saloon, of all places, carefully protected In a wooden box, Feldman located a magnificent Torah, hand-written on goatskin. The Torah, which Feldman bought for $5, could not be taken from the Azores, he learned. Capt.

The former Georgia governor and strong candidate for the Democratic presidential nomination talked about this little-known a s p e c t of his family relationships during an informal' session. The conversation followed his appearance before more than 900 persons at the City Club Forum in the SheratonCleveland Hotel and earlier appearances In the city that day. Carter's Jewish relative
was his late "Uncle Louie," as he refers to him. His full name was Louis Braunsteln who was married to Carter's mother Lillian's younger sister Elizabeth.

Carter said that although he had an attachment to his "Uncle Louie," he was disappointed that his uncle had not been more devout In his Jewishness. Turning to the Braunsteln sons. Carter confirmed a rumor that one of the sons, Sammy, was an Orthodox Jew. Carter said be was pleased about bis cousin's religiosity. A phone call later by The J e w i s h News to Mrs. Braunstein in Chatanooga confirmed the family details as told by the governor, although Mrs. Braunstein said she would not regard her son as Orthodox. Carter's aunt, who has remained a Methodist, said Sammy belongs to a Jewish temple where he lives in Englewood, Conn. (Exactly which "denomination" the temple was she didn't know). Her other son, Jack, she said, does not consider himself a Jew. ( F r o m a traditional viewpoint, neither son is Jewish since Jewishness is traced through the mother). Her late husband's brother, Harry Braunstein, Is an Orthdox Jew, however, and lives In Atlanta, said Mrs Braunsteln. She added that her own brother, too, had married a Jew. Asked for her comments about Carter's candidacy, Mrs. Braunstein said that she "didn't know why anyone w o u l d w a n t It ( t h e presidency), but I'm with htm." She described her nephew as sincere, religious person. He's a good man." she said, "I know him. He Is not a racist and he knows what he's talking about."

Sponsored by the UAHC and the Central Conference of American Rabbis," "great stress was laid on the security of Israel, the plight of Soviet Jewry, the torment of Syrian Jewry, but they (the Jewish representatives) were equally Insistent on knowing each candidate's thinking on the economic Issues, gun control, crime, civil riqhts, the role of the CIA, abortion, etc." The publication noted that "some of the candidates seemed surprised that Jews care about such issues as well." In calling for an objective attitude In the forthcoming presidential campaign, the UAHC publication cited the Jewish experience with former presidents Nixon and Roosevelt. Mr. Nixon, the editorial, said, "was not only a secretive, dupllcitous and fearful man but he had mixed feelings, to say the least, about Jews." They cited numerous accounts. Including the published tapes as well as recent Woodward and Bernstein revelations. The Nixon remarks about Jews came at a period when many American Jews and Israeli leaders "almost deified" the former president "as the savior of Israel and the guardian of the Jewish • people," It continued. Similar adulation was given by Jews to President Roosevelt who, according to documents published in recent years, failed to aid refugees, Jews and non-Jews, seeking refuge from Hltlerism. The editorial concluded: "No president and no presidential candidate should be given a Jewish hecksher (Rosen stamp of approval)."

Herzog: Stand Up and Be Counted ByI.L.Kenen Editor's note: Hie author, Editor Emeritus ot tbe Near East Report welcomes questions and. comments about tbe media. Write him at 890 National Press Building, Washington, D.C. 38845. . . •. - An urgent appeal to Western democratic nations to stand up and be counted at tbe UN was made by Israel's UN Ambassador Chain) Herzog at the closing session of the American Jewish Committee's 70th annual meeting. "This lack of moral backbone on the part of the Western countries is all too familiar to us in Israel. It portends great danger and evil for the world," Herzog declared. He recalled that even tbe United States has been the subject of "incongruous machinations" and "the victim of Western cowardice." In the last General Assembly 89 countries voted to condemn "U.S. imperialism" in Guam, the Virgin Islands and Samoa. The sponsors in committee were Egypt, which has been receiving large-scale U.S. aid, Ghana, Mali, Sierra Leone, Tanzania and Upper Volta. Only Israel, Britain, West Germany, Luxembourg and Nicaragua voted with the United States. "This turning a blind eye to the behavior of dictatorships and despotisms, this ostrich-like attitude . . . this alarming tendency to ingratiate oneself with despots . . . augurs disaster," be said. Herzog pointed out that there were only 28 democratic countries left in the world. He declared' that decisions made by UN bodies such as UNESCO were totally inconsistent with reality and recalled Alice in Wonderland, where the Queen of Hearts said "sentence first, verdict afterwards." Alice let loose in the UN wearing a Star of David would hear "the imperious 'Off with her bead' at every turn," he said. And he quoted Dante: "The hottest fires in hell are reserved for those who in times of great moral crisis maintain their neutrality." A Might Have-Been President Former Vice President Spiro Agnew has unleashed anti-Semitic slander in< media interviews promoting his new novel "The Can-
field Decision." He told NBC that the "Zionist lobby" was blocking an evennandedU.S-poUcy in the Middle East. "American Jewish leaders and the media swiftly retorted. Agnew has "disgraced himsdf tsscs sgsia with his Aayicabte statement so redolent of the venom and slander... from the anti-Semitic lunatic fringe," said Rabbi Alexander Schlndler, chairman of tbe Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations. Tbe Washington Star (May 13) editorialized: "Not that much he (Agnew) had to say deserved to be taken very seriously." Agnew had the highest praise for the late King Faisal of Saudi Arabia, who, be said, had frequently telephoned him to express concern about his difficulties. How Objective are the Media.. There was a demonstration of editorial imbalance this week. A TV program reported that 150 had been slaughtered in Lebanon and nine in Ireland, but then gave unusual visual space to the death of an Arab girl in the West Bank. Tbe New York Tunes on Monday had a Page 1 top-of-the-column story about the Arab gui. The bottom of the page reports that scores died In Beirut The Page 1, column 8 lead story in Monday's Washington Post had a Beirut dispatch estimating ISO killed and more than 400 wounded in Beirut Saturday night during heavy shelling of the city, including the bombing of a crowded movie theater. But splashed across the top of the page was a five-column picture of the funeral procession in Nablus. It is obvious that the press has easier access to the news in the West Bank and can operate with far less personal danger, since the violence in that area has been limited and there have been few casualties. But it is also clear that Israel is paying a high price for tbe liberal policy toward press coverage, And it is also true that few Arabs have been the victims of the Israelis - which makes ft ''news" when it happens.
Rabbi Criticizes . FALLSBURG. NY. (JTA) - Rabbi Fabian Scbonfeld, president of tbe Rabbinical Council of America, the nation's largest Orthodox rabbinic body, sharplycriticized secular Jewish agencies who had undertaken • to be to the forefront of Christian-Jewish dialogue and who speak in tbe name of religion which they themselves fail to practice. In an address at the 40th annual convention oi ihe organization at the Pine View Hotel, Schonfeld declared: "-Religious dialogue can only_ be engaged by people who are' t h e m s e l v e s spiritually committed to faith and practice and who are competent in areas of theological scholarship. Jewish secular agencies have arrogated to themselves the right to render pronouncements on matters of religious import and -have become U s self-appointed spokesmen- of the Jewish faith."

Clues In the Search for Israeli Oil HAIFA — Some years ago a wealthy American oil man, who had implicit faith in the Bible, received a franchise to drill for oil on Mount Carmel, not far from where I live. He got his bearings from the 18th chapter of the First Book of Kings, which describes the confrontation between the prophet Elijah and the false prophets of Baal. Elijah set up a sacrifice to God and drenched the alter with "water". Then the "fire of the Lord fell." Not only the altar went up in flames. Everything the "water" touched, the wood and the stones, and even the ditch full of "water" Itself, was consumed. Surely, the oil prospector reasoned, this must have been oil that the wily Elijah had poured over his altar. The well was dry; the American withdrew. This was but one of 240 borings that have been made in Israel in the past 20 years. There was partial success In only two areas. In 1955 oil was struck at
Heletz, down south, at a depth of 5,000 feet. Tbe rejoicing was great and everyone thought that Israel's problems had been solved. The Heletz wells proved to be shallow and have by now dlmlshed to a trickle. Later gas was struck at Zohar, not far from Sodom, and the wells then provide a modest supply of fuel for industrial and some domestic use around Arad. That is all. Yet almost all geologists and geo-physicists agree that there is oil in Israel. But where.. Hardly any part of the country has not been studied, and random wells have been drilled, some of them on the basis of encouraging evidence but all to no avail. Some 15 or 20 years ago Gordon Hirschhom pioneered the search off-shore. He invested considerable sums In precise mapping of the coastal areas, but his plans and his franchise were taken over by the Israel authorities when he could not come through with

An Experience With Dying — In Photographs and Text "Cramp" by Mark and Dan Jury GroMnuo-VlUog Prew 153 pages (paperback original). OK Reviewed by JackMoskovitz Words are merely symbols that create images and translate those images Into the reader's experience. When pictures are added, the Impact is heightened. This was done recently in James Jones' chronicle of World War Two. In his wordpicture history, Jones let us see the war through his perspective : . . the perspective of the participant. His war was our war. In their pictorial essay, Mark and Dan Jury take us step by step through the decline and death of their beloved grandfather and we fee] each agonizing moment.

the large capital to follow up his findings. Many believed at the time that the Government acted with undue haste in withdrawing his rights. Those who inherited the franchise had no luck whatsoever. For tome years the incentive for intensive oil exploration was removed because of our possession of the Abu Rodels fields. With the return of those wells to Egypt, Israel has now embarked on a new five-year program, to cost many millions of dollars. Tbe purpose is Jo seek a definitive answer "to tbe riddle: Is there oil, and if so where? Oil drilling is a very expensive proposition, requiring special equipment and. a high degree of skill. Both equipment and experienced personnel are available from the big oil companies of the world, which are not overly eager to cooperate with Israel because of their own connections with the Arab world. Hence Israel must put its own money into the search, and seek support from small, private groups abroad. In addition to seismic studies; there will be 10 or 12 wells drilled In the current year. In mid-summer a special vessel equipped to drill off-shore, will begin work off our coast. The ship alone will cost about $50,000 a day to operate. Experts agree that further efforts should be made at Heletz, by deepening the present bores there. Derricks are already up at Ashodod and at Sde Boker. Total budget for the present year along: 50 million dollars. It certainly will be a worth while investment—if it produces results.

Newman Special Edition
CAMP ESTHER l< NEWMAN
We run what is called a group-centered camp. Five to nine campers, living, sharing, and experiencing together. They share the responsibility for all that is involved in day to day living. Just as importantly, they are responsible for each other. The campers become a group, and it is through this process of becoming that each individual contributes to and receives from the unique adventure of belonging to a living group. The friendships formed in this type of setting last well beyond the camping experience. Campers remember who they were with, aswell as what they did. The emphasis at Camp Esther K. Newman is on working together for something good . . . a comfortable atmosphere; to try, to ask for help, to take a risk. Because the concern is really that each child participates to his fullest, that he grows, and that he's provided with relaxed, encouraging, exciting places to do these things. To experience and to enjoy. And finally, most profoundly, Camp Esther K. Newman is a Jewish camp. A place for young people to discover and affirm their identity as Jews and develop meaning to their being Jewish. To explore ideas, thoughts, history, their heritage. To learn, not by rote, but meaningfully the reality of being part of a collective peoplehood with an amazing past, a vital present, and a future which is in their hands. Camp Esther K. Newman lights a spark, begins a realization that is often the most meaningful awareness in the life-long development of Jewish identity, and interpersonal relationships. It deals with all the needs a young person brings - physical, social, intellectual, emotional. And has deeply significant, lasting impact.

"Brown and Happy" Campers Talk About Camp Of UfflMlR
IN DEPTH: - A continuing Mriat of artkiM to b«ttar acquaint you wtth your Federation.
CAMPERS Roste Zwdback, age 12, two years at camp: "Camp is really great. My favorite thing.. .is to go down to the Platte River for the day, wade and dip in the water, find hidden trails and be in the woods-part of Camp. I love building fires, going on trails and cooking breakfast out. "Our overnight campout was a blast! It was really neat lying down and watching the stars. They were so-o-oo-o bright! We could pick out all the constellations—It was fantastic I "I'm glad I go to a Jewish camp. I learned to many songs — I even taught them to my Aunt, and we sang them at Passover. "My other favorite activities are horseback riding on the trails, campfires and arts and crafts. We made neat designs on slides - I never knew about that before. I want to be a counselor there sometime — I have to wait nich a long time, though!" Todd Simon, age 11, at Camp four years cite* "cookouts and campouts. Especially In the morning, cooking eggs over an open fire. I love rest periods, too, when we stay around the cabin, talk, read and be with our friends. "Camttemaklng Is my favorite thing at arts and crafts — and woodcarvlngand tie-dyeing. It was fun to be in a place where almost everybody is Jewish — it made me feel happy. Spending a special day like Sabbath and eating kosher food Is fun, too," Wendy Welner, age 11, returning for her third year: "There are so many activities. I love the horses — did you know last year we had two new colts.. They're the cutest things you've ever seen!.. .1 like the Sunday morning activities best, when we can take a long trail ride of 3-4 hours. "Then I love swimming, and free time — every night after dinner — when I go to the beautiful little lake and fish. We put bread In a plastic bag and the fish swim right In! Isn't that a funny way to catch fish. We let them go, though, because they're little. Sometimes I catch the same fish over and over. They never learn!! caught 39 fish last summer! "I convinced my best friend Id come this year. My sister Mindy and I would never go to another camp! Camp gets better every year — its really a great camp. I enjoy Shabbat services when the kids do the service, and I love to sing with everybody — it's really fantastic." Sufi* Noddta; «g» 8, one year: She likes horseback riding and 'i love swimming, too this year I'll work on getting my Red Cross Swimmers'card... "One older girl helped me play the guitar — she was a good player — and then we got t o t e really good friends. "I' had the first camp birthday (of the season) last year. Mother and Daddy sent presents and after dinner Bob (camp director) carried me up on his shoulders around the dining room and everybody sang 'Happy Birthday.' They made a gigantic cake and everybody had some. It was terrific!" Harry Berman, Age 11. entering third year: "I like Hobby Time best, when we can choose our special interest activities — I like to make puppets and do acting. I like It when we go on hikes in a group into the woods... "Most of the counselors were very nice people. We'd discuss a lot of things. They were very understanding. Even through they're responsible for you, they're not real bossy. "Sabbath is fun because we're all participating. "Camp is really good because we do things / we don't do at home, like be with a lot of other kids, make our own fires on cookouts, organize our own schedule and make decisions with our group. It makes us feel very grown-up and more in control. I love camp."
By Barbara Simon Browmis for sun-tanned skins, earth-color, dark eyes and hair of many Esther K. Newman campers. Happy is for faces and bouncing bodies as tiie caiupcfa conic oft the Camp bus after a summer there. "Brown and happy" - that's how Dik Welner, Camp Newman committee chairman, describes his children at the end
of camp. "They pull In to the \T and tumble out of the bus tired, brown and happy — and I know they've bad a terrific time." What does Camp Esther n.. Newman mean to those who camp there, work there and plan for the Camp? Several campers, counselors and administrators were asked — and here are their comments. Joanna Simon, age 9: "I like horseback riding, especially bareback rides along the trails. I like to be near the horses, to brush them and pat them and help feed them. And canoeing on the lake Is fun, too. In the pool we began to learn about how to turn a canoe upright again and empty out the water if it should tip over. This year maybe I'll start on Basic Water Safety. "I love to go down to the Platte to dig clay from the bank to use In ceramics. It's fun to be around a river. "When all the kids are Jewish at camp, it's nice'because when I talk about Jewish things, they understand what I'm talking about. It's neat to eat kosher food — I never did that before, and it's neat to live with a lot of kids together. We liked to play outside our cabin and catch little grasshoppers, play with them awhile and then let them go." COUNSELORS Beth Crandall, a camper at Esther K. for five yean, returning last year as a staff assistant and again this year: "The outdoors Is part of me. I love to go on canoe trips and skiing, What I like best about Esther K. is Its size - it's small enough for all ol us to know each other and to develop really close relationships. "I enjoy my Jewishness, and I think the Jewish atmosphere at Camp Is a big plus. We all are exposed daily to some of the rituals and * feel a closer relationship to being Jewish. It's a good feeling. "Being outdoors all summer is so great. It's relaxing and such a good break from how we live the rest of the year. I enjoy Instructing at arts and crafts the best, then boating and horseback. Helping with the evening programs, the skits, talent shows and things like scavenger hunts are great fun too. I'm eager to be a full counselor!" Laurie Remer, counselor, second year. "I had such a great time last summer and It was a really good experience for me — I can't wait to get back there.. .1 had a chance last year to work with both boys and girls — this was a real challenge for me, since I have no brothers and wanted to learn how boys do things. I'm planning to go into special education, and I learned so much from all the kids. "I was surprised that the kids seem much more mature than I remember being at their ages — the camp set-up allows them to develop their own responsibilities and choices. I noticed ' that when they had free time, they knew how to use It wisely. "I love it out there, I think it's a neat place, and I'm lucky to have this job. Working with kids is what I plan to do, so watching a child get over his fear of horses, for instance, because of my instruction, was tremendously rewarding. I also enjoy instructing archery and Softball and leading hikes. Hurry up, summer!" Keith Walzak, instructor, planning for his second summer. "I learned a great deal about what Judaism Is (Walzak is not Jewish) I made great friends among the counselors and we talked long Into the night about Judaism and Catholicism, with mutual respect for each other. "I really liked the Jewish feeling - and got very caught up In It. Of course 1 didn't have to go to Shabbat services, but I did, and when the counselors prepared for the Tisha B'Av observance (the day of mourning' for the Holocaust and other disasters which befell the Jewish people) I joined In. We* put on a sUt ' pretending that we were Russian Jews who were not allowed to leave Russia — It was so moving, most ofus cried, including me. r "I think it's a blast to work with kids. I was so amazed at how much they look up to me and the * other counselors and I really enjoyed the spirit"" r among the counselors. I'm sure It's that spirit' which makes It a good summer for the kids."

Portrait Of A Refusnik Veterans'Memorial To JWF Offers Petition; DES MOlNES-The Jewish War Veterans Memorial Service will take place on Monday, May 31,1:30 p.m. atthe Jewish War Veterans Memorial in Glendale Cemetary. In the event of rain, services will be held at Beth El Jacob Synagogue. During the memorial service the Kaddish will be recited for Colonel Yeflm Davidovich, a Soviet Jewish officer In the Red Army during World War II, who died of a heart attack at age 55, at bis home in Minsk recently. Colonel Davidovich, though be was decorated many times for his bravery during the last war, was later deprived of his rank and veteran's pension because of his persistence in decrying Soviet anti-Semitism and making his voice heard on all issues Involving Jews and EretzYisrael. The Colonel compared early Nazi attacks against Jews to present persecution of Jewish life in the Soviet Union. Only one year ago, in May 1975, Davidovich stood in full uniform at a Holocaust
memorial service in Minsk. Davidovich suffered his first heart attack while in KGB custody in^ 1973. Despite his deteriorating condition during the subsequent years, his frequent pleas to be allowed to emigrate to Israel, and an international campaign on his behalf, Davidovich was not permitted to leave. Annoying h a r a s s m e n t s and unwarranted borne searches continued right up to the time of his death. Hie Jewish War Veterans adopted Colonel Davidovich as a fellow military man, ally and Jewish refusnik. yearning for freedom. Through the Adopt-A-Family project of the Committee of Concern for World Jewry, the Soviet government knew Americans cared—that Davidovich in his bondage was not forgotten. U p o n l e a r n i n g of Davidovich'8 death, the Jewish War Veterans of Des Moines Post No. 637 cabled the Davidovich family, the Colonel's wife Maria, and daugbterSophia.

Free all the Jewish Prisoners of Conscience, who are suffering in labor camps and in prisons for their desire to leave for Israel. ',. '••. . 2. Forbid all existing forms of persecution of Jews, . who have expressed the wish to unite with their families and their own people. 3.
