NEW YORK (JTA) -
Rabbi Meir Kahane, head of
the Jewish Defense League,
on Nov. 25 urged the
supporters of his
"Democracy in Jewish Life"
movement ' to obtain
signatures from at least
250,000 American Jews
before holding an election to
name national and local
leaders of the Jewish
community. Speaking to
more than 100 persons at a
conference at the New York
Hilton at which the drive was
launched under an
organization to be called
DLIL (Democracy in Jewish
Life) Kahane said that
unless the quarter million
figure was reached the
election would not be
accepted by the present
Jewish establishment. It was
also announced at the
meeting that a national
board will be named.
However, Kahane urged that
the JDL, which initiated the
move for- the popular
election of Jewish leaders,
not lead the" drive in DIJL,
"Take bUL out of the JDL
and ' give it up to
'respectable' people" so that
it will be accepted by the
general Jewish community,
the JDL founder urged.
Kahane, who had
predicted an overflow
turnout for the conference,
expressed disappointment at
the sparse turnout. "That
this room is not filled is an
indictment not of , Jewish
leaders but of the sheep who
are being led to slaughter
and are allowing themselves
to be led," he declared. But
most of Kahane's remarks
were aimed at the leaders of
Jewish organizations,
particularly those in the
Conference of Presidents of
Major American Jewish
Organizations,  whom  he

CJF Adopts Budget Formula
The Board of Trustees of
the Columbus Jewish
Federation at its Nov. 24
meeting, has adopted a pre-
campaign budget formula,
designed to provide a
method in advance of the
campaign to distribute
campaign funds relating to a
level of campaign
achievement. The formula
has no application to any
single or specific agency,
and does not guarantee any
agency an allocation in
advance of the campaign.
Even within the formula,
flexibility of determining
specific allocations is
permitted. The following
formula was adopted:
1. All funds for the Israel
Emergency Fund of the
United Jewish Appeal shall
be earmarked for UJA less
shrinkage arid any other
costs directly attributable.
2. In the Regular Cam¬
paign, the following fixed
items-shall be provided for:
shrinkage, campaigning and
administrative expenses, I

The Moynihan?Foreign Policy Est0Ushmeht
ict
■    By Joseph Polakoff
WASHINGTON (JTA) -
Daniel Patrick Moynihan's
"almost-resignation" as the
chief American
representative at the United
Nations has sharpened the
focus on the Washington
Administration's continued
reluctance to 2 deal
effectively with enemies of
democracy   which   have
Israel, for the present, as
their chief target. Despite
the President's "complete
confidence" in Moynihan's
efforts at the UN and
Secretary of State Henry A.
Kissinger's insistence that
there is "no question of
muzzling him," it is widely
believed that Moynihan is
disenchanted with the
foreign policy establishment
in Washington because of its
refusal to support him
adequately and that he will
step out once the' General
Assembly completes its
current session in New York.
Whoever follows him, it is
believed, will not be another
Moynihan but a type that
plays ball with the "quiet
diplomacy" stylists.
Moynihan's challenge to
the detractors of democracy
and the United. States itself
has alarmed important
policy makers, particularly
the Arabist elements." It is
this anxiety, some observers
contend, that led to (tacit
approval of B«tish
Ambassador Ivor Richard's
attack on his American
counterpart before an
American audience on
American soil. Despite this
triple violation of political
. conduct between nations so
closely allied as Britain and
America, the State
Department reacted with
indifference to Richard's
speech. Its attitude is seen as
having reinforced a broad
impression that the basis for
the attack on Moynihan was
hatched with, if not by,
Moy nihan *s'. -; Washington
colleagues.. London is seen
as having its own motive'
Baiting Moynihan is popu.  .
with his enemies^abroad and
thus psychologically^helpful
to London's policies,
particularly economic. Some
say, Moynihan's objective in
being so pro-Israel and pro-
democratic is to establish a
solid political foundation in
New York \ before
announcing his, ^candidacy
for , the U.S. Senate.
