PARIS (JTA) — French writer Marek Halter announced
here that an agreement has been reached between the city of
Paris and the Ministry of Culture for the creation of a Jewish
musuem in Paris. Halter, active in intellectual circles, said

and operating it.
Trifa Paces Expulsion From Portugal
PARIS (JTA) — The Interior Ministry of Portugal announced last week that it will not grant a residence permit to
Archbishop Valerian Trifa who was deported from the U.S.
last August for his Nazi past. The 70-year-old Rumanian
Orthodox prelate now faces expulsion from Portugal. It was
not immediately clear which country would accept him.
Trifa, a leader of the Rumanian fascist Iron Guard, which
massacred Jews during World War II, was admitted to
Portugal in August on a temporary visa.

S. African Foreign Minister Visits Israel
TEL AVIV (JTA) —The visiting Foreign Minister of South
Africa, Pik Botha, and his Israeli counterpart, Yitzhak Shamir, stressed last week that the relations between their countries are the normal relations that exist between any two
friendly states and should not give rise to different inferences. Statements to that effect were considered necessary
because Botha's three-day private visit, on his own initiative,
has embarrassed the Israeli government which is in the process of mending its relations with Black African nations.
WASHINGTON (JTA) -
While President Reagan won
a landslide reelection victory in the recent election,
most Jews appear to have
voted for his- opponent,
former Vice President Walter Mondale.
Two.major exit polls, conducted by television networks, gave Mondale nearly
70 percent of the Jewish
vote. ABC said the Jewish
vote was 69 to 31 in favor of
Mondale by a 67 to 32 majority.
This was disputed by the
National Jewish Coalition
for. Reagan-Bush. Bruce
Soil, the coalition's executive director, said its figures
showed 44-46 percent of Jews
voted for Reagan which he
called "a landslide" in the
Jewish community for the
Republican President.
Soil argued that the television exit polls included only
about 200 Jews out of 2,000

"The goal of this year's
Green Sunday is to add acres
of new forests in Israel. This
greening of the desert, will
enrich the liveii of all
Israelis" states Bloch.
Blum adds, "In today's
economy of Israel, the funds
for afforestation are needed
more than ever before. Programs all throughout Israel
are being curtailed due to the
devastating inflation. Tress
transform the Land into agricultural soil which produces
industry. Trees are planted to
increase security by screening border roads and settlements, and they halt erosin of
arable soil."
Bloch continues, "The
Jewish National Fund is one
of Israel's largest employers
and many are employed as.

Nov. 7, became the Slate's
first Jewish woman governor, defeating State Attorney General John Easton,
Jr., a Republican. With 100

the Jewish Coalition interviewed persons in Jewish
areas of California, New
York, Illinois, Pennsylvania
and Florida. He said Jews
supported Reagan because
his position on Israel, the
economy and family values
were "in sync" with the Jewish community.

Two Jewish Senators Running
For Re-Election Win; Number
Of Jewish Congressmen At 30
WASHINGTON, (JTA) -
Senators Rudy Boschwitz
(R. Minn.) and Carl Levin
(D. Mich.), the only two of
the eight Jews in the Senate
up for 'election this year,
were both re-elected to their
second six-year terms Tuesday. A third Jew running for
the Senate, Edythe Harrison, a Democrat, was defeated in Virginia by Sen.
John Warner, a'Republican."
In the House, Elliott
Levitas (D. Ga.), a five-term
Congressman, was the only
one of 30 Jews seeking
reelection to be defeated.
The number of Jews in the
- House stands at 30, with the
.election of John Miller, a
Republican former television commentator in Washington.
This is one less than the
present House because Rep.
Richard Ottinger (D. N.Y.)
did not seek reelection after
ten years in Congress. Oren
Teicher, an aide to Ottinger,
appeared last week to have
been defeated for the seat by
Joseph DioGuardi, a Republican.
Israel was not a major
issue in the campaign, and
the new Congress which
takes office in January is
expected to be as supportive
of the Jewish State as the
outgoing one. But several
decisions Tuesday may have
gome effect.
An Important Defect
One of the most important
was the defeat of Rep. Clarence Long (D. Md.) after 22
years in the House, by Rep.
Helen Bentley. The 76-year-
old Long was chairman of
the House Appropriations.
Committee's sub-committee
on foreign operations and
had been a leading force in
Congress in pushing aid for
Israel.
His replacement as chairman is expected to be Rep.
David Obey (D. Wis.) who
had been in years past considered lukewarm to Israel
but -recently  has  become
"more sensitized," according to sources.
In the Senate, Sen. Charles
Percy (R, 111.) was defeated
by Democrat Paul Simon,
considered a close friend of

tioned Jewish voters as they
left the polls. The early
returns showed that Mon-
dale's support among Jewish
voters was about 20 percent
higher than Jimmy Carter's
in 1980.
AJCongress analysts say
that part of the difference
between Mondale and Carter
support is accounted for by
the return to the Democratic
Party of Jews who voted for
John Anderson four years
ago.
Anderson, who ran as an
independent in 1980, received about ten percent of
the Jewish vote. The Coalition for Reagan-Bush, the
Jewish organization which
supported Republican candidates in 1980, estimated that
45 percent of the Jewish voters helped elect Reagan and
45 percent voted for President Carter.
