WASHINGTON (WNSr - Former California Gov. Ronald Reagan in announcing that if he is elected as the Republican candidate for the President he will name Richard Schweiker of Pennsylvania as his running mate has chosen one of the Senate's strongest supporters of Israel and Soviet Jewry. Frequently honored by Jewish organizations for his support of liberal, causes and issues affecting the Jewish community during his 16 years in the House and Senate, Schweiker has been outspoken in support of, economic and military aid for Israel and in providing teeth in laws to help Jews emigrate from the Soviet Union. He has also been a sponsor of legislation aimed at combatting the Arab boycott of Israel. LONDON (WNS) — Britain has broken diplomatic relations with Uganda, the first time it has done so with a Commonwealth country, over the African country's refusal to provide details about the disappearance and probable murder of Mrs. Dorah Bloch, the missing Air • France, hostage victim. Announcing the break in Parliament, Foreign Secretary Anthony Crosland said the British High.Commission.in Kampala had made, repeated inquiries about Mrs. Bloch, who holds both "_Israeli and British citizenship, and had gotten, "nowhere without Uganda's cooperation and there is jno sign that this isiorthcoming,'' Acquiring Foundation Views NEW YORK (WNS) - Former Vice-President Spiro Agnew has -. been charged by the Anti- Defamation League of B'nai B'rith with having taken. control of a tax exempt educational foundation, Education, for Democracy, in order to organize a niove-^ ment to..reflect his anti- .Israel, pro-Arab views."

'Lawrence Peirez, . chairman of the ADL's civil rights committee, said that in one article on the Mideast, Agnew sought to use state¬ ments by the Social Action Commission of Reform' Judaism.and Rabbi Henry Siegman, executive director of the Synagogue Council of America, to support Agnew's' argument that prominent Jews and respectable Jewish organi¬ zations are critical of alleged "Israeli imperialism." The Reform group told the ADL that statements critical of Israel which were attributed to it by Agnew are distorted and taken out of context from a resolution "that is supportive of Israel." Rabbi Siegman told the ADL that "the views Agnew attributes to me are a total fabrication." Siegman later announced he would sue Agnew for libel.
