The Leo Yassenoff Foundation and the Battelle Memorial Institute Foundation
have awarded two major
grants to The Jewish Center's Capital Campaign for a
new building.     ,
These generous gifts
demonstrate that both
organizations recognize the
importance of the Center to
Columbus and feel a responsibility to help insure its
future:
The.Battelle donation of
$500,000 was first announced
in the faU of 1977. The Battelle Memorial Institute has
donated to many philanthropic needs throughout the
Columbus' community during the past five years.
The Yassenoff Foundation's gift of $300,000 was received earlier this year. Established in 1947 by Leo Yassenoff, the Foundation's purpose is to aid charitable
organizations, schools and
other educational institutions, and" scientific research. Of particular interest to Yassenoff was higher
education, minorities and
youth, and thus the foundation today is attentive tc
these specific areas of need.
Yassenoff was a local contractor whose company, The
F & Y Building Service, constructed the current 30-year-
old Center building. During
his life, he was always a substantial contributor to The
Jewish Center, both in terms
of financial assistance and in
support of its programs and
activities.
Both of these contributions
are significant links to the
future of The New Jewish
Center. The new structure
will be highlighted by many
innovative features, including two health clubs.
With separate facilities for
men and women, each health,
club will be fully equipped
with a fitness center, mini
kitchen, therapy-massage
room, whirlpool, steam
room, sauna and modern
locker room.
A complete update on
other building features and

News Media Denounce Bill
JERUSALEM (JTA)-A long, bitter fight is looming in the
Knesset over a new government-backed bill that would limit
the activities of the news media on the grounds of protecting
the privacy of individuals and their communications. The
measure, presented by the Justice Ministy, is titled "The
Protection ojf Privacy" bill. The news media have denounced
it as a major assaulton freedom of the press..
' Thy bill concedes that it-is difficult to define privacy arid
other countries have left it up to the courts. But it specifically
would ban the publication of a letter or other document Without the consent of the sender or the receiver; This, for
example, would have prevented Defens*1 Minister Ezer Weiz-
man's angry letter fof resignation to Premier Menachem
Begin this week frombecomingpublic knowledge.
Another clause would prohibit news photographers from
photographing anyone without that person's consent if
publication of the photograph could embarrass the subject;
This would prevent photographs of siispectsjjeing brought to
court. A similar measure, introduced by two MKs as private
members' bills, would ban' publication of suspects'-names
until they aire actually chargefd tyitti a crime: U^aretz, in a
recent editorial, charged that the bill was cvidentlydesigried
to protect government agencies and their heads rather than,
protecting the individual. (By Gil Sedan,).
Political Turmoil In Israel
Gets Little Attention From U.S.
WASHINGTON (JTA)-The political turmoil widely
reported from Israel stemming from the resignation of
Defense Minister Ezer Weizman and Premier Menachem
Begin's response to his accusations of sytmieing the autonomy talks received little public attention from the Carter
Administration last week.
At the State Department, spokesman Tom Reston said he
had "nocomment" when he was asked if he had any reaction
to the events in Israel. "That's an internal matter for Israel."
he said. When he was asked whether the United States was
, concerned over the effects of the developments in Israel on
the autonomy talks, Reston said:
"We have said repeatedly over the last several days that
the governments of Israel and Egypt remain committed to
continuing negotiations on the autonomy talks. Nothing has
happened over this past weekend which has changed that

War Against Reel Tape
JERUSALEM (JTA)—A group of senior Israeli officials
has been working quietly for the past few months under the
direction of the Prime Minister's Office, planning a war
against one of the country's worst enemies—bureaucratic
red tape. One reform, expected to be instituted before the end
of the year, is the issuance of a single identification number
(ID) toevery citizen.
* The one number .will replace the jungle of digits that every
Israeli must now carry in his head'or on his person: army
number; tax number; national insurance number; driving
