Harold Zeidman The Julie Linker Fund was established by the Regional Advisory Board to award young men and women the opportunity to attend ADL's annual National Leadership Development Conference in Washington, D.C. 7 "This award will enable Zeidman and Dr. Singer to attend the League's 1989 National Leadership Conference, and by doing so, they will return even better prepared to carry out the important work of the League," Kayne said. The fund was named in honor of Julie Linker, who was a leader in the Louisville Jewish community. She was a past chairwoman of the United Jewish Campaign's Young Women's Division, vice-prekident of thje Women's Cabinet and vice- chairwoman of the Major Gifts Division of the Women's Division of the Louisville Jewish Federation and an involved member of the National Council of Jewish Women, Adath Jeshunin and Hadassah.

Liberty. The Grafton Library Board voted to accept donations for the construction of the library which stipulate that it be named after the U.S. Navy surveillance ship that was attacked by Israel during the 1967 Six-Day War. Israel called the attack an accident, apologized and paid reparations. Veterans of the ship have charged the attack was deliberate. The charge has been accepted by a number of anti-Semitic and anti-Israel organizations, who use it to discredit Israel and attack U.S. support of Israel. Demanding the name as a condition of their donations were brothers Benjamin and Theodore Grob, local industrialists who donated $400,000, and the Kapco Co., a Grafton manufacturing firm that donated $5,000, Supporters of the name, including village president James Grant, have said the sole intent of the name is to memorialize the 34 sailors killed in the attack. Arafat Invited For First Time To Address European Parliament BRUSSELS (JTA) — Palestine Liberation Organization chairman Yasir Arafat has been invited to visit the Parliament of Europe in Strasbourg. He will be there Sept. 13 and 14, when the 518-member assembly, the European Community's legislative body, is in full session. The invitation, the first ever to a Palestinian leader, was extended by the Socialist bloc, the largest single faction in the parliament. Rudi Arndt of West Germany, the faction leader, explained why. "After having had a very useful meeting with Shimon Peres, we thought it would be appropriate to hear Yasir Arafat's opinion, as chairman of the PLO,f on the situation in the Mideast," Arndt said. Sympathy For Israel Has Dropped But Poll Finds No Gain For Arabs NEW YORK (JTA) - American public sympathy has declined for Israel and risen for the Arab nations since the beginning of the Palestinian uprising, according to a Roper poll conducted in April on behalf of the American Jewish Committee. However, while sympathy for Israel declined by 11 percentage points since Fel> ruary 1987—from 48 percent to 37 percent — sympathy with the Arab nations increased by only three per-; centage points, from 8 percent polled in February 1987 to 11 percent in April 1988. In addition, a March poll taken by the Roper Organization that asked an identical question about sympathies in the Middle East conflict indicates that sympathy with Israel may be on the upswing. The March poll showed sympathy for Israel as low as 30 percent and sympathy with the Arabs at 12 percent. The latest poll is the fifth in an annual series con- Line-Up Announced For Annual Jewish Center Sports Spectacular The Leo Yassenoff Jewish Center's Sports Spectacular Committee, chaired by Hal Block, announces the line-up for this year's upcoming golf-and-tennis event.

Israeli Tourism Down 8 Percent TEL AVIV (JTA) - Israel suffered an eight percent decline in tourism during the first six months of this year, compared to 1987. About 669,000 tourists arrived from January through June 1988, according to figures released last week by the Central Bureau of Statistics. A breakdown of tourists showed that 507,500 arrived by air during the first six months, down ten percent from the corresponding periodiiv 1987, ,-.•,>,,.,.,.,..,! ducted by, Roper and AJCommittee that probes American public attitudes toward Israel and American Jews. Four identical questions have been included since the first poll was conducted in 1984, allowing for what Dr. David. Singer, director of AJCommittee's Information and Research Services Department, called "a clear and consistent trend-line established over time." The previous poll. was taken in February 1987. Roper interviewed 1,982 respondents — a representative national sample of men and women 18 and older—in their homes between April 16 and April 29. Roper did not report a sampling error. While a plurality of correspondents continue to believe that Israel is a reliable ally of the United States, the number dropped to 43 percent in April from 49 percent in February 1987. Still, Egypt and Jordan continue to be regarded as unreliable by a plurality of respondents, and Syria by a clear majority at 60 percent. Responding to specific questions about recent events, an almost equal number thought Israel's response to the uprising was "too harsh" (28 percent) as felt it was "about right" (26 percent). Eleven percent felt it was "too lenient." A majority of those having an opinion — 36 percent — favored some form, of Palestinian autonomy as a solution to the Palestinian- Israeli conflict. But 59 percent indicated they did not know which they preferred as a solution, saying they hadn't followed the situation closely enough. ,. 'Asked about Israel's refusal to negotiate with the Palestine Liberation Organization, 44 percent said they agreed with Israel and 27 percent disagreed. On the matter of whether the hews media have shown bias against Israel in their coverage of the uprising, 31 percent said the media had shown bias and 36 percent said they had not.. the current poll's findings are slightly less upbeat than similar polls conducted recently by both the Anti- Defamation League of B'nai B'rith and the American Jewish Congress. Singer said that optimists can conclude from the poll that a decline in support for Israel is "not as bad as one might have imagined." However, Singer added, "anyone who wants to claim that Israel's image has not changed in any way, those people are simply wrong." Federation Community Shaliach, Ben Sif rony, Returns to Israel "Enlightening the Columbus and Central Ohio Jewish community to a different perspective of Israel, not what is pictured in the media," said Ben Zion Sifrony, Columbus Jewish Federation's community shaliach since 1985, in describing what he feels has been his primary achievement. "Conveying that Israelis are like Americans; they laugh, cry, love and face the daily struggles of living and in spite of living in a country that has had to defend itself for the past 4d years, are fun loving, interested in art and music and have created normal lives for themselves," he said.

"I am taking back to Israel the experiences of being exposed to a different culture. Getting to know another point of view; seeing different ways and methods than I had grown up with, a unique opportunity to better understand the Jewish community in Columbus," continued Sifrony, "the experience doesn't end after three years, I will take back and share with Israelis the information and knowledge I ac- , .quired.of, Jews ii^ Cohim- .v.y ■• v«'fcWiNufeb*dJ( PA6& j,' viv-. ,-,(.(
