WASHINGTON (JTA) — Controversy boiled anew last week over Black Muslim leader Louis Farrakhan, a leading supporter of Rev. Jesse Jackson, who confirmed that he had acclaimed Hitler as a "very great man" who "rose Germany up from nothing." Farrakhan, who heads the Nation of Islam group, offered his assessment of the Fuhrer in a March 11 nationwide radio broadcast. It was largely overlooked then because in the same broadcast he urged Blacks to ostracize a Black reporter, Milton Coleman, who disclosed in The Washington Post that Jackson had referred to Jews as "Hymies" and to New York City as "Hymie- town." "Hitler Was a Very Great. Man" The Chicago Tribune quoted Farrakhan, in. his March 11 broadcast as saying: "Here, the Jews don't like Farrakhan, so they call him Hitler. Well, that's a good name. Hitler was a very great man. He wasn't great for me as a Black person, but he was a great German, and he rose Germany up from the ashes of her defeat by the united force of Europe and America after the first world war. "Now, I'm not proud of Hitler's evils against the Jewish people. But that's a matter of record. He rose Germany up from nothing. Well, in a sense you -could say there's a similarity in that we're rising our people up from nothing. But don't compare me with your wicked killers." Subsequent threats against Jews if they harmed Jackson and against the physical safety of Coleman and his family, propelled Farrakhan into national prominence because of his close association with Jackson's campaign for the Democratic Presidential nomination. Jackson has dissociated himself from Far- rakhan's remarks but has refused to reject his support.

He claimed in a radio interview that Egypt is building a military infrastructure in Sinai sufficient for an entire field army. Arens said that while the military annex to the 1979 peace treaty does not define the limits of the infrastruc ture Egypt can build in SinaiN it limits Egyptian troop * deployment on the peninsula to a single division. According to Arens, the Egyptians are building facilities for an army of at least four divisions. He said Israel feared that Egypt would soon be capable of the rapid deployment of more troops than are allowed in Sinai under the treaty. Arens, who opposed both the Camp David accords and the peace treaty with Egypt when he was, at the time, chairman of the Knesset's Foreign Affairs and Security Committee, complained about the state of Egypt's relations with Israel. Israel did not give up the entire Sinai "merely to have an Egyptian Ambassador in Tel Aviv for only three years, up to when he was "withdrawn ih 1982," the Defense Minister said. -r- HAPPY PASSOVER from the Ohio Jewish Chronicle ' nounced the Black Muslim . leader for extolling Hitler and urged Jackson again to repudiate Farrakhan.

Schindler added, "I pray that Rev. Jackson will use this latest wild and irresponsible statement by his supporter, Louis Farrakhan to at last publicly dissociate himself from Mr. Farrakhan and the dangerous demagogy he represents." Julius Berman, chairman of the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations; said: "If Mr. Farrakhan plans to do for the Black people what Hitler did for the German people, he is an even greater menace to our country, to American Blacks and to the cause of racial justice and racial amity than he has already shown himself to be.
