NEW YORK (JTA) - A federal appeals court in Cincinnati last week ordered that alleged former Nazi death camp guard John Demjanjuk be extradited to Israel to stand trial for crimes committed during the Holocaust. It was not immediately clear whether an appeal will be filed with the Supreme Court. The court's ruling affirmed a lower court decision reached last April by U.S. District Court Judge Frank Battisti. Israel has issued a formal extradition request for Demjanjuk, though a final decision on extradition must be made by Secretary of State George Shultz. Neal Sher, director of the Justice Department's Office of Special Investigations (OSI), told the Jewish Telegraphic Agency in Washington that the Department "will move as expeditiously as possible" to extradite . Demjanjuk to Israel. Without setting any timetable, Sher said, *'it could Be done very quickly." The 65-year-old retired automobile worker allegedly served as a guard at the Treblinka concentration camp in Poland in 1942-43, according to charges filed by the OSI. His sadistic behavior there earned him the name "Ivan the terrible" by prison CJF Board Of Trustees Ratifies Campaign Goal The Board of Trustees of the Columbus Jewish Federation at its opening meeting ratified the Campaign goal for 1986 proposed by rJennis Mellman, general chairman, and the 1986 Campaign Cabinet. After presenting a campaign up-date on the activities and the campaign divisions' achievements,. Mellman asked the board to approve the recommendations of the Campaign leadership and executive committee — $5,400,000 — for vitally needed services for Jews in Columbus, Israel and 33 nations around the world. An additional goal of" $200,000 was set for Project Renewal, the social, cultural and physical rehabilitation program for Jesse Cohen in Holon, Israel — Columbus' twinned neighborhood.
