PARIS (JTA)—The Tunisian Chief Rabbi, Fradji Uzane,,
died recently in his home in La Goulette near Tunis. He was
84 years old. The Tunisian government, which announced his
death Aug. 27, said President Habib Bourguiba sent his personal condolences to the Chief Rabbi's family and the Tunisian Jewish community. There are reported to be some 5,000
Jews in Tunisia.
More Support In Jewish Community
DALLAS (JTA) - President Reagan and Vice President George Bush left here to
begin a campaign for their
re-election in which they
hope to turn the Republican
Party into the majority
party in the United States.
This includes a strong effort
to increase the Republican
,vote in the Jewish community which gave 40 percent of
its vote to Reagan in 1980.

But while support for Israel will be stressed as part
of this effort, it may not be
the main focus as both Reagan and his Democratic opponent, former Vice President Walter Mondale,' will
not be contesting whether
the U.S. should support Israel, but which of the two is
the greater friend of the Jewish State.
However, while Mondale
did not mention Israel in his
acceptance speech in San
Francisco in July, leaving it
to his running mate, Geral-
dine Ferraro ofTNew York,
both Reagan and Bush did,
in brief mentions of the Mideast  in  their  acceptance
speeches to the Republican
national convention.
Pledge Not To Sell
Out Israel
"In the Middle East, it remains difficult to bring an
end to historic conflicts —
but we are not discouraged,"
Reagan said. "And we shall
always maintain our pledge
never to sell out one of our
closest friends — the State of
.Isr.ael,"   ....... ,..„   -. ,
Bush, outlining the Reagan Administration's accomplishments abroad, said,
"We are reaching out to
more countries in the Middle
East, and our relations with
Israel have never been
stronger."   .
The" Republicans are also
pointing out that their platform supports a free trade
area between Israel and the
U.S. while the Democrats do
not mention this in their platform. But the Democratic
Party platform supports
moving the U.S. Embassy in
Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem and rejects providing
sophisticated arms to Arab
countries, two issues which
the GOP platform ignores.
Focus On Domestic Issues
However,' it is in the domestic area that the Republicans apparently feel they
can make gains in the Jewish community, particularly
because of the anti-Semitic
remarks that came out of the
unsuccessful campaign of
the Rev. Jesse Jackson,
especially of Black Muslim
xleader Louis.Farrakhan.
Republicans at the convention here made much of that.
Their platform denounces
anti-Semitism and other
forms of bigotry while the
Democrats failed to do so.
Both Reagan and Bush alluded to this in their acceptance speeches. "We don't
lump people by groups or
special interests," Reagan
asserted. "And, let me add,
in the party of Lincoln, there
is no room for intolerance,
and, not even a small corner
for anti-Semitism or bigotry
of any kind. Many people are
welcome in'our house, but
not the bigots."
Bush was even more blunt.
"Let this be heard loud and
clear: Ronald Reagan has
protected and will continue
to protect the rights of all
Americans," he said. "Discrimination based on race,*
religion, sex or age wiU
never, be tolerated 'by this*
President or this Vice President. And furthermore, we
condemn the vicious anti-
Semitism of Louis Farrakhan and the ugly bigotry of
the Ku Klux _lan."
However, the Republicans
may have their own problems in the Jewish community on platform planks that
many feel threaten the Constitutional guarantee of the
separation of church and
state. The most important of
these issues is the call for
prayer in the public schools. •
■But there are other points,
such as tuition tax credits for
parents of parochial school
students, a Constitutional
amendment opposing abortions and the call for a Constitutional Convention if Con-

In accepting, Peggy
stated, "We take great pride
in the role our women in the

adults were limited, she-explained. No middle road
existed between living independently and institutionalized care.
Now, because of adult day
care, elderly people have a
choice. Those older and handicapped adults unable to be
left alone but not requiring
round-the-clock medical attention can obtain needed
health care and social programs and still return to
their Homes and communities in the evening.
Adult day care encompasses a wide variety of programs at a reasonable cost
including transportation to
and from the center, nursing
care, rehabilitative therapies and counselling services. Recreational activities, personal care and
meals are also provided. Today, nearly 25,000 older
Americans have joined over
800 adult day care centers
nationwide.
"Adult day care is an innovative concept which enhances the lives of our elderly by keeping them socially
active and involved in the
community," commented
Walson, adding, "Adult day
care also benefits the fami-.
lies of participants; it provides needed care and supervision while relieving the
family for several hours
each day."
