Jewish leaders from the region, concerned by a growling rise in the activities of these groups; including the Christian Identity movement, held a confidential meeting to -*tass^ extremism and anti-Semitism in farm and rural areas in the Middle West," according ^ to ■ David- Gold-; stein, executive director of the Jewish Community Relations Biireau Mi Greater Kansas

"Identity believes Jews were literally Children of Satan, the people of color were^pre-Adamic,' and white Christian Aryans were the *lost sheep of the House of Israel' and that America was the ^Biblical Promised Land.

— The Reagan Administration has sought to reassure King Hussein of Jordan he will still receive the Administration's proposed arms package of advanced planes and missiles.

LOS ANGELES — L.A.'s Mayor Tom Bradley b^me the first Black U.S. mayor to denounce Black Muslim preacher Louis Fanakhah. .
Bradley, addressing 2,GCM9 Jews at the Union of American Hebrew Congregations convention, said he'd learned a lesson froni the f^ caused by the Muslim idema-" gogue: th^t Farrsikhan **res--pects no one."
"I denounce Louis Farrak-haii," Bradley said, "for his message of hate, his racial bigotry. I reject the notion that Black people, or any other people, can persevere or grow in a climate where the sole qualification for membership is race or religion." .
Previously, many Jewish leaders, citing Farrakhan's anti-Semitic remarks, had called on Bradley to repudiate Farrakhan before the Black
Nazi-hunter
Muslim leader was to speak in Los Angeles.
But local Black leaders wanted Farrakhan to talk because they support his economic reforms. They requested Mayor Bradley not to denounce Farrakhan until after the speech.     ^ \
Bradley, chose to remain silent until his UAHC address, where he reiterated his opposition to anti-Semitism.
He said his decision to remain quiet was the result of ^on^uhatipns with m^^ decision that we called 'damage control.' We hoped to minimize the poison and harm of his utterances."
It is believed, however, tteit Bradley has suffered a ppliti-cai setback for his anticipated gubernatorial aspirations because of his initial* silence over Farrakhan.

Serge Klarsfeld claims Syria staged a recent magazine interview with Nazi war criminal Alois Brunner to prepare the way for his expulsion.
"The interview with Brunner, who is closely guarded; could not possibly have taken place without the
knowledge and approval of Syrian authorities," Klarsfeld said.
West German weekly ^M«/p had published what it said was an interview with the former Nazi in Damascus, where he has long been reported living. iJlVB. Nov. 7, 1925.)
But, he continued, "a Soviet Jew travelling to Tel Aviv to be rejoined with his family is one thing, but a man who pays $1,500 for an invitation from New York is quite another. Ninety out of 100 Russian Jews leaving the country have gone to the U.S."
Louis doesn't exclude the possibility a degree of diplo-
matic relations could resume between Israel and the Soviet Union/
"Remember the Soviet Union was the first country to recognize Israel," he said. **But we cannot accept the ultimatum from Shimon Peres that, unless the USSR recognizes Israel, we wouldn't be permitted to take part in Middle East peace negotiations."
