By Joyce Reisinger
Chronicle Staff Writer
Television talk show host
Dick Cavett was the guest of
the Columbus' Section, National Council of Jewish
Women, last Saturday night,
March 7. But, for once, lie
was answering some of the
questions.
After a Champagne and
Hors D'Oeuvres Buffet at the
Hyatt Regency Hotel, Ohio
Center, guests listened to a
presentation by Cavett and
were encouraged to ask the
entertainer questions.
Cavett reminisced about his

Chief Judge Aubrey Robinson of the United States District Court for the District of
Columbia also sentenced
Pollard's wife, Anne Henderson-Pollard, 26, to two concurrent five-year terms on
charges of being an accessory to her husband's espionage activities and receiving
stolen government material.
The 32-year-old Pollard
stood with his right arm behind his wife as the: sentences were being pronounced. When Robinson announced the life sentence,
Mrs. Pollard yelled "No, no"
and fell to the floor.
When her sentence was
pronounced, she collapsed
again, screaming. She could
be heard screaming after
being taken from the courtroom.
U.S. Attorney Joseph di-
Genova indicated that
neither Pollard had a chance
for parole and both would
have.to serve their full sentences.
Pleaded For Mercy For
Each Other

ine Hepburn. He spoke for
approximately two hours
and 'ended with his famous
"rope trick."
NCJW President Ruth
Longert said Cavett was impressed by Columbus architecture on his drive from the
airport to the Hyatt. He was
especially taken with the old
homes on E. Broad St. and in
German Village and the Ohio
Theatre, where he was given
an impromptu backstage
tour. According to Longert,
NCJW chose Cavett to speak
at their major event because
of his appeal to a wide group

hours of testimony in which
husband and wife pleaded
for mercy for each other and
expressed their mutual love.
"I pray to God every day
that I'll be reunited with my
husband," Mrs. Pollard
said. "That's all I live for."
She wept through much of
the hearing and appeared to
be in pain from a gastrointestinal disorder from which
she suffers. The hearing was
recessed twice to allow her
to receive medical attention.
Richard Hibey, Mr. Pollard's lawyer, argued that
while there was "no excuse"
for what Pollard did there
was "no intent" to harm the
U.S. and there was no
damage done to the U.S.
He said the information
was not given to an enemy of
the U.S., but to a country
that "except for England
and Canada, is our closest
ally."
But Assistant U.S. Attorney Charles Leeper argued
that the information did
damage the U.S., as Defense
Secretary Caspar Weinberger noted in classified information   presented   to   the

The Anne Frank in the
World: 1929-1945 photographic exhibit will begin its
final two weeks in Columbus
on Thursday, March 12, at
the Leo Yassenoff Jewish i
Center and will host Reverend Douglas K. Huneke, the
evening's keynote speaker.
Rev. Huneke is a Presbyterian minister who has written
and lectured extensively on
the role of those who helped
the victims of Nazi persecution during World War II.
His lecture will begin at 7
p.m.
Rev. Huneke is the author
of The Moses of Rovno, the
story of Herman "Fritz"
Graebe, a German Christian
who risked his life' many
times to save Jewish victims
of the Nazis. Graebe was
also the only German citizen
to volunteer to testify
against the Nazis at the
Nuremberg trials.
It was while on what Rev.
Huneke describes . as "a
spiritual and academic pilgrimage" to former extermination camps, in 1976 for
the purpose of "preparing a
personal Christian response
to the Holocaust and its victims" that he became aware
of the crucial role played by
the rescuers.
He went to camps in Poland and the German Democratic Republic and to the
Israeli Holocaust archives at
Yad Vashem in Jerusalem,
to learn more about the three
roles in the Holocaust: murderer, victim and bystander.
But as he did his research
and talked with people, he
saw a fouA ii> rol   emerging:

Although Revi Huneke had
previously read "various
incomplete accounts of the
rescuers ... it was not
enough for me to know only
the stories. I was compelled
to know what led the rescuers to take such risks on
behalf of total strangers."
