Jewish War Vets Visit Normandy
PARIS (JTA)—Jewish war veterans from a half dozen
countries and former resistance fighters marked the 40th
anniversary of the Allied landings in Normandy last week.
Hundreds strolled along Utah Beach where some of the fiercest fighting occurred and hundreds more placed wreaths at
military cemeteries. Most of the Jewish and non-Jewish
veterans came on their own. A few were members of the official delegations of the Western allied nations commemorating the opening phase of the battle to liberate Europe and
destroy the Third Reich.
Dutch Group Demands Ban
On Kosher Slaughtering
AMSTERDAM (JTA)—A new demand to ban the ritual
slaughter of animals in Holland for consumption by observant Jews and Moslems has been announced by the Netherlands Society for the Protection of Animals. The group has
urged the Deputy Minister of Agriculture to prohibit, effective immediately, the slaughter of animals for export without
first stunning them and to ban ritual slaughter for local consumption within a three year period. Should a local ban be instituted, it would affect only the small proportion of Holland's
20,000 Jews who observe kashrut. But Jewish ritual slaughter
for export is considerable.
BERKELEY,, CALIF.
(WNS)—A resolution on a
Berkeley ballot, voted on in
conjunction with the California Presidential primary,
calling for cuts in United
States aid to Israel, was defeated by a nearly three-to-
one vote, a spokesman for
the Coalition for Middle East
Peace and Justice reported
June 7.
She said the vote was
29,279 against and 12,107 for
in the voting on Measure E,
the title for the proposal.
Berkeley has 68,000 registered voters.
The proposal, placed on
the ballot by an ad hoc group
called Taxpayers for Peace
in the Middle East
(TAPME),   declared   that
"the people of the City of
Berkeley call on the United
States Government' to
reduce its yearly aid to Israel by an amount equal to
what it determines to be the
most accurate approximation of what Israel spends
annually on its settlements
in the occupied territories of
the West Bank, Gaza Strip
and the Golan Heights."
TAPME was created by

Kimche Says Beirut Regime Must
Approach Israel On Withdrawal
JERUSALEM (JTA) - Israel will not approach the
Lebanese government for
any deal aimed at the withdrawal of the Israel defense
Force from south Lebanon.
But it will consider any proposal offered, by the Beirut
regime, David Kimche,
Director General of the Foreign Ministry said last week.
Speaking on the second
anniversay of the start of "■
"Operation Peace for Galilee," Kimche said Israel will
follow a "pragmatic" course
for the time being and will
seek security arrangements
in south Lebanon in cooperation with local elements, not
the Lebanese government.
"We will not run after
them, neither do we intend to
repeat the process of Khalde
and Kiryat Shemona," Kim
che said. He >vas referring to
the long drawn out negotiations in those towns that led
uthmately to the May 17,
1983 withdrawal and security
agreement between Israel
and Lebanon — an agreement repudiated this year by
the government of President
Amin Gemayel.
Nevertheless, Kimche
said, if the government of
Lebanon offers Israel proposals that would make
feasible the withdrawal of
the IDF from south Lebanon,
"we shall be pragmatic and
consider them."
According to Kimche,
Syria in anxious for an Israeli pull-out of Lebanon and
would be likely to ignore
negotiations between Jerusalem and Beirut as it had a

To Study Religious
Needs Of Women
LANCASTER, Pa. (JTA)
—Rabbi Gilbert Klaperman,
outgoing president of the
Rabbinical1 Council of
America, an Orthodox rabbinical group, said here that
he hoped his successor would
create a commission on religious needs of women which
he had not been able to do.
He told the 48th annual
convention of the Rabbinical
Council there was "an
urgent need" for such a commission to deal "with the
needs of women to find some
form of rewarding participation" in the Orthodox synagogue! He added that such a
commission should study
and issue guidelines on areas
in which women "may legitimately take part in women's
prayer groups, as well as in
the administrations of synagogues, within Halachic
parameters." ll
