(CONTINUED ON PAGE 6>" WASHINGTON (JTA) - The life sentence given to Jonathan Pollard, an American Jew, last week for spying for Israel is not expected to basically alter the close relations between the United States and Israel, according to American Jewish leaders. Nor do they expect it to create a feeling in this country that Jews have dual loyalty, except, of course, among anti-Zionists and anti-Semites, who have always made this claim. At the same time, concern was expressed that the "poor judgment" shown by Israel in promoting two Israelis, who controlled Pollard's espionage activities, could damage Israel-U.S. relations. "The espionage activity for which Jonathan Pollard was justly sentenced was a serious crime and should never have taken place,*' Morris Abram, chairman of the Presidents Conference, said in a statement. "I am also deeply concerned by the public perception of the official treatment accorded Col. (Aviem) Sella and Rafael Eitan and will raise these concerns with the proper authorities next week during a visit to Israel." Jewish leaders with whom the Jewish Telegraphic Agency spoke expressed little sympathy for Pollard,- 32-year-old former civilian analyst for the Navy, or for his wife, Anne Henderson- Pollard, 26, who received two concurrent five-year terms for being an accessory to her husband's espionage. The day before the Pollards were sentenced, a federal grand jury indicted Sella, who was Pollard's first contact in providing Israel with classified documents, for conspiring with Pollard. The indictment came shortly after it was learned that Sella has been made commander of Israel's second largest Air Force base. Earlier, Eitan, the counter terrorism expert who ran Pollard's now disbanded spy unit, was named chairman of Israel Chemicals, the largest government-owned corporation. These promotions angered the Reagan Administration. The State Department, while still maintaining that Israel has cooperated with the Pollard • investigation, said Israel was expected to "call to. account" those involved in the Pollard case. Hyman Bookbinder, Washington representative of the American Jewish Committee, said "you could almost sense the change" in the Administration after the Sella (CONTINUED ON PAGE 10) Israel's Ambassador To U.S. Does Not Think Pollard Case Will Harm U.S.-lsrael Relations not agree with media charges that the two men in Israel most directly involved with Pollard, Rafael Eitan and Col. Aviem Sella, had been rewarded. Eitan, who was in charge of Pollard's disbanded spy unit "Le- kem," was appointed chairman of Israel Chemicals, the largest government-owned corporation in the country; Col. Sella, who allegedly recruited and supervised Pollard, was given command of Tel Nof, one of the largest air force bases in Israel. By Judith Franklin News Editor Israel's ambassador to the United' States, Dr. Meir Rosenne, doubts that the recent Iran/Contra affair or the Pollard spy scandal will have lasting negative effects on Israel-U.S. relations. However, in an exclusive Chronicle interview, the Ambassador stressed the seriousness with which Israel views both ma.tters. Dr. Rosenne pointed out that Israel has done its best to clarify the issues, offering what he called "unprecedented cooperation" to U.S. law enforcement agents who were invited to Israel to interview those involved in the Pollard case. In response to media criticism of Israel's internal handling of the Pollard case, Dr. Rosenne noted that on March 11 Israel established a commission to fully investigate the matter. He did Community Calendar Artwork Contest Announced By 'Chronicle,' Martin's Martin's Kosher Foods in cooperation with the Ohio Jewish Chronicle is currently sponsoring a contest, Calendar Creations, to encourage, youngsters in the community to create works of art, which if chosen, will be published in the 5748 OJC Community Calendar next September. "We know there are a lot Of youngsters out there who love to draw," explained Michael Singer of Martin's. - "This contest gives them the perfect opportunity to be creative, show what they can do and share their work with the rest of the community.' According to Chronicle publisher, Milton Pinsky, the contest will also provide interesting as well as appropriate artwork for the second edition of the Community Calendar. An illustration for each month of the year and the cover will be chosen from among contest entries. Each entrant whose work is published in the Calendar will receive a $10 cash award. Last year's calendar was distributed to Chronicle subscribers with their New Year editions. Others were able'to receive a copy through various community outlets or by mailing a business reply card to the Chronicleoffice requesting a free calendar and a two-month complimentary subscription to the Chronicle. All told, approximately 5,000 calendars were distributed. This year, a similar plan will be followed. Saint Anthony Medical Center, one of last year's co- sponsors, will once again sponsor the calendar, which will contain not only all the information usually found in a Jewish calendar, but im- (CONTINUBD ON PAGE 5) Meir Rosenne Dr. Rosenne disagreed, saying that neither man had been rewarded.
