Poland's Premier, Responding To Public Criticism,
Actina To End
"Semifism By His Military Regime
By Ben Gallob
PHILADELPHIA
(JTA)—A leading Jewish official told a news conference
here that Premier Wojciech
Jaruzelski of Poland,
responding to,-*'a flood of
public criticism" is acting to
end "the resort to anti-Semitism" by his military regime
which imposed martial law
in Poland three weeks ago.
Rabbi Marc Tanenbaum,
director of interreligious affairs of the American Jewish
Committee, disclosed this
development at a news conference last week at which
he and John Cardinal Krol,
Archbishop of Philadelphia,
denounced the Warsaw
regime for attempts to foment anti-Semitism among
the people of Poland in its efforts to suppress Solidarity,
the country's independent
labor movement.
The Cardinal said such attempts "deserve the highest
condemnation—it cannot be
condoned." Tanenbaum said
the remnant of Polish Jews
were being "scapegoated
and held responsible for
everything that has gone
wrong in Poland."
"The most recent report
we have now is that Gen.
Jaruzelski has begun to take
seriously the flood of public
criticism of this crude Nazilike exploitation and has
begun these past 24 hours to
call upon leaders in -the
government to try to put an
end to the resort to anti-
Semitism-"
It was announced at the
news conference that the
Cardinal's statement at the
conference was being broadcast to Poland by the Voice
of America.
Continuing Contributions
From AJCommittee
The news conference was
called to announce the first
of what an AJCommittee <
official said would be continuing contributions from
the Committee to Roman
Catholic relief funds for
Poland. The official, Robert
Fox, chairman of the Philadelphia AJCommittee, gave
Krol two checks—one for
.$500 from the local chapter
and one for $1,000 from the
national AJCommittee.
Tanenbaum reported that-,
the AJCommittee had learn-
inet Votes 54 For 250 Million Compensation
ackage For The Settlers in Northern Sinai
By David Landau
and Gil Sedan
JERUSALEM (JTA)-
The Cabinet voted 5-4 last
week to approve a 4.4 billion
Shekels ($250 million) compensation package for the
settlers in northern Sinai.
Premier Menachem Begin
cast the deciding vote on the
issue. Two ministers abstained.
The settlement was hammered out by Deputy
Premier and Agriculture
Minister Simcha Ehrlich
with the settlers of Yamit
and Rafah who must relocate when Israel completes
,its withdrawal from Sinai
next April. It was bitterly op
posed by Finance Minister
Yoram Aridor who reportedly warned after the
Cabinet decision that he
would demand further cuts
in the national budget to pay
the added compensation.
The sum endorsed today is
20 percent higher than the
ceiling previously set by the
Cabinet- Another opponent
of the deal, Deputy Premier
and Housing Minister David
Levy said it "violated all criteria." But Ehrlich, who was
backed by Defense Minister
Ariel Sharon. as well as by
Begin, reportedly told his
colleagues that the high
price was worth paying to
ensure a peaceful withdrawal from Sinai.
ed that leaflets are being
posted on walls and handed
out on the street in Polish
cities charging that Jews
were monopolizing the distribution of food, manipulating Solidarity, and that
they controlled 80 percent of
Polish industry.
He added that the 6,000 remaining Jews in Poland
were mainly old "and hardly ■
have strength enough to
keep body and soul together." He said many Poles apparently were directly combatting the posting of the
anti-Semitic leaflets, tearing
them down as fast as they
were posted.
Polish Americans Oppose
Anti-Semitism
Michael Blichasz, president of the Eastern Pennsylvania district of the Polish
American Congress, declared at the press conference that the Congress
"stands behind the American Jewish Committee in opposing anti-Semitism."
He said the AJCommittee
would join in an Solidarity
.rally Sunday, sponsored by

Ceremonies Mark Consecration Of
New Temple Israel Memorial Garden
More than 150 men,
women and children of Temple Israel were present at
the consecration of the new
Temple Israel Memorial
Garden at Forest Lawn
Cemetery, Sunday, November 22,1981. In solemn ceremonies, Rabbis Harvey
Goldman and Robert Levy,
Cantor Alanc Katzew, Seyman Stern—Temple presi-
dent, and Robert
Glick—Foundation president, outlined the Congregation's cemetery history dating back to around 1840. The
ceremonies concluded with
the symbolic planting of a
cypress tree by Lester Weinberg and Sidney Herman,
who were recognized for
their diligent efforts in
effecting the transition to the
new cemetery.
The first Jewish burials in
the city were in the east
graveyard. The location, was
at the end of Meadow Lane in
the area of what is now Children's Hospital. By 1870, city
ordinance prohibited burials
within the city limits so a
new burial ground had to be
found. A piece of land adjoining the large Mt. Calvary
Catholic Cemetery on
Harrisburg Pike was pur-

Northern Sinai was the
scene of disorderly protests
by the settlers in 'recent
weeks. Houses have been set"
afire, access roads were
blocked and trenches were
dug to signal the government
that the householders, businessmen and farmers would
resist evacuation unless
their compensation demands .
were satisfied.
Begin Wants To Avoid
Bloodshed
Begin was said to want to
avoid bloodshed at all costs.
But he still must deal with
ideologically motivated
squatters, chiefly Gush
Emunim militants from
other occupied territories,
who have been occupying
abandoned houses in norr
them Sinai with the stated
purpose of blocking the withdrawal. So far, the govern-
meht,has made no attempt to
prevent their infiltration of
the region.
The Cabinet met in Begin's
home where the Premier is
recovering from a painful
hip injury. Aridor argued
vigorously that the State
could not afford the sum '
negotiated by Ehrlich. He
noted that an industrial
worker would have to labor
70 years to save what individual Sinai settlers will now
receive. Levy accused the
government of surrendering
to violence, thereby signaling every other special interest group that violence
pays.
Begin defended the large
suni on grounds that the economy has improved and
Israel's exports are growing.
He maintained that "one
more good export deal"
would pay for the compensation to the settlers. He
shared Ehrlich's view that
Israel had to pay the price
for a peaceful evacuation of
Sinai.
But Levy contended that
bloodshed was unavoidable
even if compensation is paid
because force will be needed
to remove the squatters who
are not seeking compensation but the permanent
retention of eastern Sinai by
Israel.
