telephone restored
*H—;--. _ ' ■» J ,
by judge
NEW HAVEN, Conn.
(JTA) - -.<.., A federal judgFhasap-; J.: proved . an. agreement to '::.;restore-^to a group of
-'^•'Bridgeport Nazis a tele-o-phone service they used■ •i'to disseminate anti-.; Semitic and anti-Black messages on - recorded tapes, pending a ruling . on the constitutionality of the state law under which they lost that service. .
. Judge Kobert,Zampano approved the agreement, previously reached by attorneys for both, sides, '^during a show cause hear- ^ ing on a complaint by the ^■National Socialist White
■ People's Party. The Nazis had filed suit contending that an order to
' 'the Southern New England Telephone Go. canr eel ling the service abrid-ged their freedom of the press under; the First
■-.Amendment. They also sought 515,000 in damages. Damages were denied.
The cancellation effort ' was started.by Attorney.
General; Robert Killian / and brought a ■ request .from Bridgeport Police . Chjef Joseph Walsh to the 'Utility to stop set-vice on ■ groi-ii.f.i thiit broadcasting 01 hansmitting defamatory statements about a race violates Connecticut's group slander law.
Judge Zampano order-ied Walsh to notify the
■ utility to restore the service to the Nazis. The
, judge, also waived, the ..statute of .limitations, a ruling which would apparently make the Nazis :. liable to criminal pros- ' : ecution if a •three-judge panel/to.be convened this fall, upholds the consti-;;,.tutionaiity of ..the state \law.
. The suit by the Nazis, under Judge Zampano'S: ruling, will be continued with only the Connecticut
. Public Utilities Commission. Walsh' and Assistant Attorney Gen. Frederick Neusner as defen-.. dants. State's. Attorney Joseph Gormley, Chief Prosecutor John Ward
. and the utility are no . longer listed as defen- . dants. Judge Zampano ruled.
•In a ruling filed with the court' late-August, Neusner described the -. .recorded messages - as "the most viciousand depraved forms of racial and religious abuse.'" • Neusner contended that
■ the Nazis' contention their service was canv celled without due process was not 'true. He . said what had been den-, ied was not regular telephone service, but only .. "adjunct service utilized for a limited purpose, namely racial and religious abuse."

Sapir paints gloomy picture
TEL AVIV (JTA) - .
A^ gloomy picture of the situation of.Jews in Latin. America, as far as their ties to Judaism are concerned has been painted by Pinchas Sapir, chairman of the Jewish Agency and' World Zion-
ist Organization execu-. tives.
On his return fronv an ■ extended visit to Jewish ; communities, in that region. Sapir. .who spent time in .Mexico. Colom-bia;;: Peru. Brazil; Argentina, -Uruguay and
Venezuela said the situation was discouraging because "Jewish education, there is very shallow and doesno^ embrace the entire Jewishpopula-itioii." ■
: /He said 75% of the Jewish.populations in the
JOHANNESEfURG (JTA) -
.Israel's former De-;fence Minister Moshe Dayin .told. an audience here that peace riegotia-. tions with the Arab states must be fair and never one-sided. "If..there is .deadlock, .we will, have to . live 1 with deadlock," he declared . delivering the keynote address at the 33rd South African Zionist Conference in a packed Johannesburg City Hall.'
. Dayan. stressed Israel's continuing •, need for Western immigration and maximum Diaspora support, Observing
that "the Arabs are grow- ; ing Stronger in everyway, while Jewish life in the . golah is weakening," he said that ■Zionists must rein'vigorate Jewish; life iii the. golah and stimu-
. late maximum.support for.
:Israel. "We iii Israel can take care of Israel dnd you in. the golah must take care.of the Jewish people,"' Dayan declared.
He noted that unlike previous wars Israel has fought.^ the Yom Kippur War opened the way to negotiations --which Israel has always wanted --and which it hoped would continue- at Gen- ■
eva. "We want to negotiate very much," he said, "but we will never accept the formula often used by the. Amei-icans that the Arabs will never agree to this oi-.that. Negotiating cannot be-onesided. They, must take account: of . what Israel will .never agree to no less than the Arabs," he said. Regarding the Ju-dea and Samaria regions
on the West Bank; Dayan. said it was unthinkable that Jews should ever be prevented from settling in any. part of their historic homeland. . .
• countries he visited had no connections with Judaism through studies or educational institutioris. He expressed serious, cbnderh over the highin-r. ^ cidence of mixed mar-:. riages and said ttiat evien in cases where the npn^ Jewish spouse converts, the children do not receive a Jewish education.
Sapir Said . that while. Jewish youth movements proliferate in' Latin A-merica. only 100 Jewish youths emigratied to Israel from that region last
year; He attributed the aliyah lag to Israel's security situation and to gloomy letters, received : from earlier emigres. He said the discouraging reports, were not always due to lack of housing, or unemployment, citing a letter from one. recent immigrant who said he had a flat and a job but no friends. That loneliness must be eliminated by us, Sapir said.

Israel gets tough with her undesirables
By ROYSTON ALLEN Israel Correspondent
TEL AVIV -
The famoirs Lansky case, where alleged U.S mobster chief Meyo'r Lansky was denied permission to stay^i.a Israel under the La^frol Return set a preclo*li)*i tor keeping out "undesir-" able" criminal elements here.
This timetheex-criminal was a member of what is known here as the French Mafia— a group of closely interT. knit Jewish North African families who carry: French passports, and whose livelihood stems from semi-legal activities.', ■■.
Edgar Zumor came to Israel from. Algeria*(via . France) in 1969, He bought an apartment in. the port town of Ashdod and tried to open a res-.
taurant but the police refused him a license on two grounds: the international police organization 'Interpol' had supplied information of Zu-mor's criminal activities in France, and therejvas a complaint issued against him and associates over an_attempted /Extortion bid at the Tif-• fany's night dub here. -. Tiffanys finally burnr . ed down last year, after having had its front door riddled with bullets.
It turned out that Zumor was wanted in France, faced a two-year' jail sentence and had fled here to escape his term behind bars.
He eventually went back there to serve his sen-. tence, leaving his wife and children here, hoping that "when he returned to Israel, he could become an immigrant.
However the interior
minister found that his criminal past: was liable to damage the public wel-; fare (section 2(b) (3) of the Law of Return) and permitted him to stay here for a limited period only to permit him time to appeal : to the High Court here.
While there was no hard: and fast rules about what
constitutes a criminal past "liable to endanger the public welfare,".Justice Berinson pointed out that the interior minister has the right to refuse immigrants' visas at his discretion;
The Supreme Court judge added that Zumor had. not been brought to trial over the-'Piffany's. -affair onl7 because the
chief witness was frightened to testify and had fled the country.
So Edgar Zumor will havefo return to France, Algeria or where hewish-es and Israel will be one potential headache les3.
And perhaps the Jewish members of the French Mafia or. even the UiS. Mafia will take note. .
