PARIS (JTA) -TheSoviet Union has somewhat changed its Mideast policy and seems to be steering a more moderate course in its relations with Israel, according to French Foreign Minister Roland Dumas. French correspondents in Helsinki where Dumas met last week for close to three hours with Soviet Foreign Minister Eduard Shevardnadze report that the French delegation sees a definite change in Moscow's policy in . the area. ' Dumas himself said in a radio interview that he felt a change in Soviet policy has taken place since the new leadership took over. Dumas, specifically mentioned the Middle East as one of the areas in which this change was tangible. The meeting took place to lay the initial groundwork for Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev's scheduled visit to France in October^ French officials said Dumas and Shevardnad2e**dfff*W negotiate but prepared the visit. Nonetheless, these officials have said, they felt a change in the Soviet line which appears less rigorous than in the past. Israeli sources confirmed last week that a top-ranking Israeli diplomat last month paid a "private" visit to the Soviet Union. The sources said Yosef Amihud, minister in charge of information at the Israeli Embassy in Paris, obtained a visa and visited the Soviet Union as a member of a group of for- . eign diplomats. The visit was organized by the French "Diplomat Academy," a private association of foreign diplomats and foreign correspondents based in France. Israel decided to try and include Amihud in the group so as to test Soviet willing- ' ness to grant visas to Israeli' diplomats. Amihud told £he Jewish Telegraphic Agency that he obtained a visa and that his Soviet hosts "obviously knew who I was and what my nationality and my posts are." He said he was not discriminated against and managed to visit the synag6gue and meet local Jewish activists. Dumas has assured Israeli Ambassador Ovadio Soffer Simon Wiesenthal Center Receives Matching State Funds To Build 'Museum Of Tolerance' NEW YORK (JTA)-The State of California will provide the Simon Wiesenthal Center with some $5 million in state matching funds to aid in construction of a "museum of tolerance" on the grounds of the Yeshiva University in Los Angeles. Governor George Deuk- mejian signed Senate Bill , 337, which provides the state funds, last week following approval July 18 by both the State Senate and Assembly. Deukmejian, according to - his chief of staff, Steven Merksermer, supported the funding because he felt sympathy for the suffering of the victims of the Holocaust and other tragedies. The proposed funding for the museum triggered considerable discord within the Jewish community of California with the state offices of the Anti-Defamation League of B'nai B'rith, the American Jewish Congress and the American Jewish Committee, among others, voicing strong opposition to the legislation. Construction of the museum is expected to begin in early 1986. The total campaign for the museum is $35- million, according to Center officials. The Center has raised some $12 million from the private sector and along with the $5 million from the state leaves the Center some $3 million short of the $20 million .needed for the "bricks and mortar" aspects of the museum's construction. A campaign to raise a $15 million endowment for the museum operations will soon begin, Center officials said. Rabbi Marvin Hier, dean of the Wiesenthal Center, told the Jewish Telegraphic Agency in a telephone interview that the museunj "will seek to explore the origins of hate and prejudice by utilizing the Holocaust as the watershed event of the 20th century.!' Construction, he said, is expected to take one year. It will be designed by Karl Katz,. chief designer and planner for the Museum of the Diaspora at TeJAviy University. Hier said the museum will be what he described as "an (CONTINUED ON PAGE 11) To ADL Regional Board At their recent Annual Meeting, the Ohio-Kentucky- Indiana Regional Advisory Board of the Anti-Defamation League of B'nai B'rith appointed Rabbi Sanford D.
