W. German Town Hosts Holocaust Survivors
BONN (JTA) — A handful of surviving Jews who once lived
in the north German town of Jever, returned there on a visit
last month at the invitation of the town authorities who paid
all expenses, including air fare from far-dff places. Such
projects are not uncommon in West Germany, where Jews
who fled the Nazis between 1933-1945 or survived the concentration camps and later moved abroad are invited to re-visit
their native towns, all expenses paid. ,

Anti-Semitism Problem For Argentine Jews
BUENOS AIRES (JTA) — Anti-Semitism in some of its
ugliest manifestations remains a grave problem for Argentine Jewry even though the military junta has been replaced
by a. democratic regime sympathetic to Jewish concerns,
according to Sion Cohen Imach, president of DAIA, the representative body of the Argentine Jewish community. "The
centers of anti-Semitism, remain intact" but what has
changed is the attitude of the government whose feelings
with respect to the Jewish community are above suspicion,
Cohen Imach told a luncheon attended by the heads of the
country's principal Jewish organizations.

charged with acting against
Nazi war criminals living in
the United States.   -
Sultanik siad he was also
speaking on behalf of the
United States Holocaust
Memorial Council, to which

Judiciary Committee, Rep.

The Ohio Republican Delegation to the Party's
National Convention, meeting in Columbus, July 14,
overwhelmingly adopted a
strong resolution offered by
Columbus Mayor Dana G.
"Buck" Rinehart to maintain fully the alliance of
Israel and the United States
under President Reagan.
Mayor Rinehart, a statewide at-large delegate, said
he wanted the Republican
platform to be "unequivo-
cable in its endorsement of
continuity and enhancement
of the strong strategic relationship that has been
advanced between the U.S.
and the State of Israel under
the policies of this Administration."
The mayor said he heard
from Republicans and Independents and supportive
Democrats on this subject
and was pleased to report
that this was the single platform policy adopted by the
Ohio Delegation.
Ohio has 178 delegates and
alternate delegates to the
National Convention fn
August in Dallas, including
Merom Brachman from the,
12th Congressional District'
of Columbus. He said this
Rinehart Resolution presented by Ohio Republican
Chairman Michael F. Colley
Mayor Dana Rinehart
would be recommended by
the delegation to the Republican Platform Committee
meeting in Dallas the week
before the convention.
Mayor Rinehart's Resolution was adopted as follows:
In the words of President
Reagan, "Israel and the
United States are close allies
in the defense of freedom in
the Middle East and any effort to weaken Israel would
only destabilize the region
and risk the peace of the
world." Secretary of De^
fense Casper Weinberger
has said it is Israel that
stands "determinedly in the
way of Soviets who would
dearly love control over the
strategic choke points in the
Middle East."
