Mazon—the Hebrew word for food — also began a campaign in 1986 asking American Jews to pay a self-imposed "tax" on the cost of weddings, Bar and Bat Mitzvahs, anniversaries and other celebrations, as a way to give added joy to the event. During its first year, Mazon raised $163,000 and in its second year donations rose to $550,000, At the same time, the number of gifts more than doubled, climbing from 3,850 for 1985-86 to 9,975 for 1986-87. The rising trend has continued during the first half of.the current fiscal year. 7 Vienna Monument To Be Built VIENNA—A stone and bronze monument against war and fascism to be built here has stirred, a political and cultural battle that seems to stem from a deep-seated desire of many Austrians to forget their country's Nazi past. The debate appeared to be settled recently when Mayor Helmut Zilk announced that the monument will be erected as planned, in a square behind the State Opera and the famed Albertina museum in[the innter city of Vienna. This highly visible site was supported by the Socialist Party, which heads the governing coalition, but was fought by the Conservatives, who were accused of opposing the memorial altogether, but lacking the courage to say so publicly. Shamir Aide Says Hussein's Policy Leaves Israel No Partner For Peace NEW YORK (JTA) - The announcement by Jordan's King Hussein that he intends to sever, ties with the West Bank underlines Israel's contention that it has "no partner for negotiations" in the Middle East, a close aide of Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir said here last week. Avi Pawner, Shamir's media adviser, said that Israel is "still studying" the king's move, but whatever Hussein's intentions are, "It is clear now that he cannot deliver peace." Pazner,, who spoke at a briefing sponsored by Dor HehaShech'j < the young leadership group of the World Zionist Organization, said that in the aftermath of ' Hussein's move, Israel "must make sure that the PLO will not be pushed" to become Israel's partner for negotiations. Pazner reiterated Israel's strong opposition to the PLO, vowing that Israel will never enter into talks with "this terrorist organization, which is bent on our destruction." Pazner said, however, that Israel must now restore "normal conditions and calmness in Judea and Samaria," where the Palestinians have been rioting and demonstrating since Dec. 9. He suggested that only Greff Elected National Commander Of Jewish War Veterans Of U.S.A. Herbert D. Greff has been elected national commander of the Jewish War Veterans of the U.S.A. Greff, the first Vietnam era veteran to hold this office, was selected during the 93rd Annual National Convention of JWV, held in Las Vegas. A 23ryear member of the Jewish War Veterans of the U.S.A., Greff has been a leader at every level of the organization. He is a member of the Board of Directors of the JWV National Memorial, Inc. Museum and Archives. National Commander Greff served in the United States Army. At the onset of the Vietnam conflict, he was a personnel administrative specialist with the Military Police School in Ft. Gordon, Ga. During his term of service, he also served as acting chaplain. In his first address as national commander, Greff expressed his concern about recent increases in the num> ber of anti-Semitic acts. "Unfortunately, the lie which led to the establishment of the Jewish War Veterans, 93 years ago, is : still with us today. Our goal remains, to put to rest—once and for all—the canard that Americans of the Jewish faith did not serve this country," said Greff. The national commander's agenda for the year includes improving the situation for the nation's homeless veterans, protecting veteran entitlements and securing free emigration for Soviet Jews. m U The Chronicle AtTheCenter 13 Classified................ 12 Editorial features , 2 Here ArfdTber*.,........

Greff will be traveling throughout the United States, Europe and the Near East during the next year on behalf of the Jewish War Veterans. He has appointed Columbus Post Commander Larry Felsenthal to serve as his chief of staff. A Military Ball is being planned for Oct. 29 to give the entire community an opportunity to congratulate Greff. A businessman, National Commander Greff is managing principal of his firm, which specializes in em-, ployee benefit plans for corporations. He is married to Francine Wolpert Greff and is the father of two sons, Joel and Michael. The Jewish War Veterans of the U.S.A. is the nation's oldest active veterans' organization and is known as the "Patriotic Voice of American Jewry.". Reagan Says School Prayer Will Happen WASHINGTON (JTA) - President Reagan maintained recently that although he has not been able to get Congress to adopt a constitutional amendment allowing voluntary prayer in the'public.' schools, he believes school prayer will again become a reality. "I'm convinced that one day such a measure will be passed," Reagan told some 8,000 cheering delegates at a student congress on evangelism. The president noted that the Constitutional Conven- (CONTINUED ON PAGE i) then will Israel be able "to find a partner for negotiations" among the local Palestinian residents who are not affiliated with the PLO. "In the end I think that Jordan will become once again a partner for negotiations with Israel," Pazner said. According to Pazner, Hussein's decision to divorce himself from the West Bank could be seen as a political maneuver, an attempt to influence the course of events by his unexpected move. "Hussein may have felt that his regime is in danger," Pazner suggested, "or maybe he is trying to show that without him peace is not possible." | Pazner, claiming the situation in the territories is improving, said "We managed to somehow control the degree of violence and unrest." 'Community For The 90's' Theme Of Jewish Community Campaign Alan Wasserstrom, general chairman of the 1989 Jewish Community Campaign, has announced that this year the campaign will have a central theme,' 'Community for the 90's," to stress the importance of unity and support for the Jewish community in the largest sense? Wasserstrom : explained, "The Community Campaign is a very special vehicle for linking the Columbus Jewish community to communities of Jews all around the world. It is our means of translating our Jewish values into meaningful programs and services that touch our lives and the lives of our brothers and sisters the world over." Marilyn Knable, associate General Campaign chairwoman, stressed that the, campaign belongs to the entire community. "One of our goals is to help our community members understand that the annual campaign is our primary fundraising ef^ fort as a community. It is the source of funds for our most basic social and human services as well as those programs that impact most positively on the quality of Jewish life in central Ohio," Knable said. David Milenthal, a campaign vice-chairman and chairman of the campaign's Communications/Marketing Task Force* explained that the focus of the campaign's communications efforts will be to make community members aware of just how the campaign touches the lives of Jews in Columbus and around the world. "With ttje help of our local agencies . and congregations, we will help donors understand just how their gift touches people's lives in meaningful and lasting ways. As a community, we must understand that the campaign, more than any other activity today, is responsible for maintaining the programs and services that comprise the very fabric of our com-, munity." Wasserstrom noted that as a community "we must teach the mitzvah of tzedakah as a lifelong com- i-mitfflent. This year we hope to involve community members of all ages, from children to seniors. This is going to be a year of challenges: It is important that we meet these challenges as a community, united by a vision of the quality of life we want for ourselves and our children here in Columbus, in Israel and throughout the Jewish world." The 1989 Jewish Community Campaign of the Columbus Jewish Federation is the primary instrument for raising funds which support humanitarian programs and social services in Columbus, Israel and throughout the world.
