Suspense Oyer United States' Arms Sale
to Saudi Arabia To Continue Until June 3
British Ballet Company Pirouettes
On Cultural Tour Of Israel
LONDON (JTA) — Dancers of. the Sadler's Wells Royal
Ballet, one of Britain's premier ballet companies, have provisionally decided to go ahead with a tour of Israel which last
week they decided to cancel because of fear of Arab terrorism. Reversing their earlier decision, some BO of the Sadler's Wells dancers voted to send three of their members to-.
Israel to see whether their security could be ensured during
next month's tour, for which 15,000 tickets have already been
sold.
WASHINGTON (JTA) -
The suspense over whether
President Reagan can go
ahead with his proposed sale
of missiles to Saudi Arabia
will last until at least June 3,
when Congress returns from
its Memorial Day hiatus.
Reagan vetoed last week
the Congressional resolution
rejecting the arms sale and
sent the veto message immediately over to the Senate.
The President, who had
earlier been busy . calling'
Senators in an effort to get
the 34 votes needed to sustain the veto in the Senate,

apparently believed he had
been successful.
. But when Majority Leader
Robert Dole (R. Kans.)
sought to schedule a vote before the Senate adjourned,
the Democrats threatened a
filibuster and Dole had no
choice but to postpone the
vote until next month.
Senate Minority Leader
Robert Byrd (D. W.Va.) said
the Democrats were only repaying the Republicans in
kind. "We all know that the
Administration delayed until
they felt confident they had
the votes," he said? Both
sides expressed confidence
that the delay would help
them. The White House said
it would continue "to work"
on Senators.
A Series Of Maneuvers
The Senate had rejected
the Saudi sale by a 73-22 vote
and the House by a 356-62
vote, the first time that Congress had blocked a Presidential arms sale.
Both votes were well
above the two-thirds needed
to override a veto. But since
both Houses must override
the veto to block the sale
again, the Administration
concentrated on the Republican-controlled Senate
rather than the Democratic-
controlled House.
The Administration's position was helped when Saudi
Arabia withdrew its request
for 800 Stinger shoulder-fired
ground-to-air missiles. This
had been the most controversial part of the $354 million
arms package since many in
Congress expressed the fear
that the portable weapon
could fall into the hands of
terrorists.
Reagan's veto message
was accompanied by a letter
to Dole confirming that the
Stinger would be eliminated
from the sale. The Saudis
would still receive 1,666 Sidewinder air-to-air missiles
and 100 Harpoon air-to-sea

"Stone Cairn" by Judith Greavu is the winning sculpture installation in the Sculpture
at Heritage Village exhibition.
Jurors Select Greavu's 'Stone Cairn'
As Best Of Show In Sculpture Exhibit
Judith Greavu's monumental sculpture installation, "Stone Cairn," was '
named "Best of Show" at
Heritage Village. A panel of
art professionals—Jonathan
Green, director of the T^he
Ohio State Visual Arts Center; Steven Rosen, chief curator of the Columbus Museum of Art, and John Spof-
forth, prominent sculptor
from Athens, Ohio — juried
the outdoor exhibition.
"Stone Cairn" was a unanimous choice, but only after
much deliberation.
The jurors said:
"Greavu's sculpture-is a rich
and provocative work. Its
aggressive, monumental
concept Uses the traditional
materials of sculpture, rock
and sand,'in a revitalized, robust and powerful way.
"The earthwork has a
richness of form and emo-,
tional connotation. On, one .
hand, it suggests angst, disintegration and the bunkers
of war and destruction. On .
the other hand, as a work
that partakes in the natural
process of change, it evokes
positive images of growth,
rebirth and new building,
"This is a serious, adventurous work."
Greavu is from Bluffton,
Ohio, and teaches sculpture
at Ohio Northern University.
In addition to this award, she
was recently chosen winner
of a sculpture commission
competition at Inniswood
Gardens. Upon hearing of
her awards, Greavu said:
"Today is by birthday, and
this is the best birthday I
have ever had. I want to
thank the Heritage Auxiliary
for the moral and' material
support they have given me.-
Sculpture at Heritage Village is unique in their concern for the artist."
"Stone.Cairn" is located
oh the west campus of Heritage Village behind "the,
tower. It is one of 35 installations that comprise .Sculpture at Heritage Village. The •
exhibition has been acclaimed as one of the major
outdoor exhibitions in the tri-
state area by critics, artists,
patrons and arts organizations! It is ongoing and will
close Sept. 15.
The opening, Sunday in the
Park, will be this weekend,
on June 1, at 5 p.m. on the
Heritage Village Campus.
Admission is a $75 donation
per person.
The Gala and the sculpture
exhibition are programs of
the Heritage Village Auxiliary. For reservations or information call Pauli Greenberg, 253-7261.

Wundohl had recently
been named the 1986 recipient of the Joseph Polakoff Integrity Award which is given
each year.to an AJPA member for exemplary service

Frank F. Wundohl, director of communications of the
JWB (Jewish Welfare
Board) and editor of the
JWB Circle, a past president
of the American Jewish
Press Association and chairman of its journalism award
committee who recently was
announced as the unanimous
choice for the AJPA Joseph
Polakoff Integrity Award,
died Saturday morning, May
17, of pancreatic cancer. He
was 56 years old.
Robert A. Cohn, president
of the AJPA, and a longtime
friend and colleague of
Wundohl, expressed "profound personal and professional grief at the loss of
Frank Wundohl, a true giant
in the field of American Jewish journalism and a true
friend to all who knew him."
Cohn eulogized Wundohl on
behalf of his colleagues at
WundohTs funeral services
which were held Monday,
May 19, at the Goldstein's
funeral home in Philadel-
- phia. Al Erlick, managing
editor of the Jewish Exponent of Philadelphia, which
Wundohl served as editor,'
also attended the services,
along with other colleagues
at the Exponent and within
the AJPA. .   •
Wundohl had been battling
the effects of pancreatic cancer for several months, and
had remained hopeful of recovery and a return to work
until very recently. "He
faced his final days with the -

$267 million.
Injection Of Jewish
Issue Criticized
Meanwhile, Sen. Alan
Cranston (D. Cal.), who led
the opposition to the sale,
criticized the Administration
for seeking to make the
opposition to the sale a Jewish issue. He said the opposition was based on the national interest of the United
States.
The government of Israel
and the American Israel
Public Affairs Committee
(AIPAC), while voicing
opposition to the sale, did not
campaign against it. Some
Jewish groups, however,
such as the Zionist Organization of America and Americans for a Safe Israel, did
campaign against it.
Sen. Richard Lugar (D.
Ind.), chairman of the
Senate Foreign Relations
Committee, suggested to
Reagan that he seek the active support of the sale from
Jewish leadens.
The Administration did appear to be taking this advice,
but then after the death of
Yehuda Hellman—executive
vice chairman of the Conference of Presidents of
Major American Jewish
Organizations — caused the
cancellation of a meeting
with the Presidents Conference scheduled for May
19, White House spokesman
Larry Speakes denied the
Administration was seeking
- Jewish support.
Speakes said the Administration was only trying to explain its Mideast policy to
the Jewish leaders as it does
periodically. The arms sale
