The award will be presented at Sabbath Services on Friday, March 25, at 8 p.m. at the Temple.

In the White House Welcomes Senators' Letter Of Concern About Shamir WASHINGTON (JTA) - The White House welcomed last week a letter by 30 senators to Secretary of State George Shultz implying that Israeli Premier Yitzhak Shamir was obstructing the peace effort in the Middle East by opposing Shultz's land-for-peace formula. The letter/signed by many of Israel's most staunch supporters in the Senate, also criticized Jordan for "backing away" from its earlier support of a Jordanian- Palestinian delegation to negotiate with Israel. "The views of these senators are helpful to us and probably instructive to other parties in the region," White House spokesman Marlin Fitzwater s^id. ''The' administration, of course, welcomes the support and actyice from this group; they are senators of considerable stature and interests and involvement in Middle East affairs." Fitzwater, however, declined to comment on Shamir's views. "We'll have to undergo any number of discussions in the weeks ahead," he said. . Meanwhile, Jewish groups have criticized the letter as interfering in Israel's domestic affairs. The Zionist Organization of America's executive committee released a statement saying the senators' criticism "will only serve to embolden the enemies of Israel, the Jewish people and the' American- Israel alliance." - Rabbi Milton Polin, president of the Orthodox Rabbinical Council of America, said the letter "is ill-timed (CONTINUED ON PAGE 16) city of Columbus, he has seryed on the Board of Directors'- of the Columbus.

Additionally, in support of Ohio State University and as an " indjcation of his faith and confidence in Central Ohio, Wexner donated the largest monetary gift in the history of O.S.U. targeted for the new center of the Visual Arts.

Vice President Geore Bush, who swept the Republican primaries, winning about half of the 1,139 delegates he needs for the nomination at the Republican National Convention in New Orleans in July, is viewed with suspicion by many in the Jewish community, despite his many statements of support for Israel. On the Democratic side, -the Rev. Jesse Jackson emerged with about 350 delegates, just behind Massa- chussets Gov. Michael Dukakis, who won 360 delegates, and ahead of Sen. Albert Gore^Jr. of Tennessee, who won about 320. This ensures that Jackson will have an important voice, if not the deciding one, at the Demo-; cratic National Convention in Atlanta this August. Jews who voted did so mainly in the Democratic primaries and appeared to go overwhelmingly for Dukakis. In Florida, which Dukakis won, exit polls found that eight put of ten Jews voted for the Massachusetts governor. Jews, who make up 4.7 percent of the Florida population, are concentrated in the southeast part of the state, from Miami to Palm Beach. The majority are retirees from the Northeast and they turn out in large numbers for any election. Dukakis, whose wife, Kitty, is Jewish, also won in the two other Super Tuesday states in which Jews account for more than four percent of the population: his home state of Massachusetts and Maryland. Whether Dukakis is the first choice of most Jewish Former West German Official May Be Tried For War Crimes BONN (JTA) — The former prime minister of the federal state of Baden-Wuertemberg, Hans Filbinger, may be tried for war crimes, based on information obtained from the United Nations war crimes files, which were opened in New York last year. Filbinger is one of approximately 4,000 West Germans whose names were discovered in the files and passed onto the Ludwigsburg-based Federal Office for the Prosecution of Nazi War Criminals in December. The Lud- wigsburg office sent the Filbinger file to the state prosecutor in Stuttgart, who must decide whether to open a formal investigation. Filbinger is accused of participating in massacres in Scandinavia during the closing months of World War II, when he was a military judge with the German occupation forces. He has flatly denied the allegations, declaring he could not be charged on legal or moral grounds. Soviet Human Rights Conduct Scored GENEVA (JTA) — Soviet human rights policy is far from perfect even in this era of glasnost, the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations Human Rights Commission said here last week, The Cuban-born envoy, Armando Valladares, said the United States believes that the changes in the Soviet Union in general have been "more superficial and cosmetic than fundamental." He estimated that at the current rate of emigration, the 375,000 Jews waiting to leave will have to wait 46 years to do so. European Parliament Rejects Three Economic Accords With Israel STRASBOURG, France (JTA) '— The Parliament of Europe overwhelmingly rejected here last week ratification of three economic agreements Israel signed last year with the 12-nation European Community. Many of the deputies said afterward that their negative votes were cast as "a sanction" against Israel's policies in the West Bank and Gaza Strip and what they considered Israel's refusal to start negotiating peace agreements with the Arabs.

Gore is also making a concentrated effort in the Jewish community. He has a record of strong support for Israel, as do all the candidates, except for Jackson. On the Republican side, the candidate with the most appeal to Jewish voters, Rep. Jack Kemp of New York, was virtually eliminated. Senate Minority , Leader Robert Dole of Kansas also has a record of a long rapport with the Jewish community/but unless he Wins Illinois, the Republican nomination will be wrapped upby Bush. 1..,.. Bush's problem with the: 7 Jewish community is more perception than reality. He has continuously echoed the Reagan administration's strong support for Israel and has backing in the Jewish community, including such important leaders as Max Fisher and Gordon Zacks of Columbus. But many in the Jewish community, noting the vice president's friendship with Saudi Arabia, fear that a Bush presidency could mean a return to the"even- handed" policy of the State Department Arabists. Bush was critical of Israel during its 1982 invasion of Lebanon and after it bombed an Iraqi nuclear reactor in 1981. He was quoted as saying during the 1985 TWA hostage-taking incident that Israel should release "people being held against international law," a reference to Lebanese Shiite prisoners being held by Israel. In defending his role in the secret U.S. sale of arms to Iran, Bush has seemed to place the blame on Israel. At the same time, Bush has been a leading administration spokesman to the American Jewish community. When there were charges of dual loyalty because of Jewish opposition to the sale of AWACS to Saudi Arabia in 1981, it was Bush who publicly refuted the charges. It was also Bush who personally arranged the rescue of thousands of Ethiopian Jews in 1984 and 1985.
