Apropos . . When dynamite speaker John Rothman
electrified 85 women attend-|ing the bi-i regional Had-jassah-WIZO icjonvention in I Victoria last imonth (JIVB iOct. 1), he gave a plenary jsess.ion on ROTHMAN anti-Zionism as the new anti-Semitism... The political analyst also cited Jonathan Pollard as the prime examfile of a victim of anti-Semitism today . , . Not having planned it ahead, two Citizens for Jus-tice supporters attending thd meet afterwards spontaneously drew upand circulated on the spot a private petition — it was not from Hadassah-. WIZO to President Bush asking for commutation of Pollard's sentence to time served . . . PS. The other women present (from B.C. and Alberta) signed it in large numbers.

ex-slavie laborers
BONN (JTA) — A court in the northwest German city of Bremen has ruled that three Jevys assigned to the city as slave laborers for eight months during World War II should be compensated 15,000 marks each — about $9,900.    T '
But the court, in its ruling, sent the case to a federal" court in Karlsruhe to decide vyhether the decision can be applied immediately, or only when formal peace treaties are signed between Germany and its former adversaries.
The former slave laborers who took the city of Bremen to court previously lived in Hungary, Poland and Romania. They had been as-
signed to construction and cleaning, including removal of debris from bombs.
One of the individuals, Lila Nemesh, now lives in RamatGan, Israel: ^
The accord providing for reparations to Jews who suffered under the Nazis states that any further claims against Germany should be settled only in the framework of a formal peace treaty.
According to observers, this obstacle can be renioved by the federal court in Karlsruhe. If the court does so-the three applicants will promptly receive reparations, paving the way for possible similar payments in thousands of other cases.
