Midwest Extremists
Dealt New Setbacks
NEW YORK (JTA) - Midwest extremists seeking to
exploit the farm crisis have
been dealt new setbacks, according to the Anti-Defamation League of B'nai B'rith.
The ADL cited the' 'strong
repudiation" of two right-
wing gubernatorial candidates in the Republican primary in Nebraska — who received less than 9,000 of
190,000 votes — and the conviction by a Colorado jury of
the publisher of a now
defunct anti-Semitic farm
newspaper for crimes connected with the publication.
The ADL said the candidates, Everett Sileven and
Paul Rosberg, had employed
farm belt related issues in
their campaigns. Sileven
after announcing his candidacy, spoke at a rally in
Nebraska sponsored by an
anti-Semitic paramilitary
organization   and   Rosberg

Harlan Ruben
Leadership Division. Complimenting the appointment

this revitalized division.
"Our first activity will be a
family function on Sunday,
Sept. 14, at Jeffrey Mansion.
The entire community will
be invited to the 'First Annual State of Israel Bonds
Family Picnic' Children get
their values from their
parents, and we have to let
them know what Israel
means to us so that our link
to her remains unbroken,"
cited Ruben. "We are planning an afternoon of fun and
fressing. Hamburgers and
hot dogs will be served and
dietary laws will be
observed. Activities for all
ages are being planned," he
added.
Federation Council Inaugurates
New North American Data Bank
The Council of Jewish
Federations has inaugurated
a new North American-Jewish Data Bank which will
serve as both a practical tool
for Jewish communal planning across the continent
and a vital resource for
scholarship. It will provide
basic and essential Jewish
demographic data that will
offer Federations throughput the United States and
Canada an overview of regional and national trends and
a wider perspective on Jewish communal life.
The official inauguration
of the Data Bank took place
on June 3 at the Graduate
of New York.
The Data Bank, which will
be headed by Dr. Barry A.
Kosmin of the Council of
Jewish Federations, will be
working cooperatively with
the Hebrew University of
Jerusalem and with Brandeis University as well as the
Graduate Center.
The gathering of Jewish
demographic data has a long
history going back to pibli-
cial times. As the demography of the Jewish people
changed with the major
movements of the Diaspora
and with evolving political
and social environments, the
history  of Jewish  data
Morris Skilken has established the "Morris and Fannie Skilken Forest," a Jewish National Fund project of
10,000 trees to be planted in the American Independence Park, in the Judean Hills, outside of Jerusalem
adjacent to the "Challenger Forest." Pictured above,

Meyer Hoffman, president
of Jewish National Fund
Columbus Council announces, "Mr. Morris Skilken has endowed the planting of a Forest of 10,000 trees
as the first individual Forest
donor from the Columbus
area. The 'Morris and Fannie Skilken Forest' is being
planted in the American
Independence Park in the
Judean Hills outside of Jerusalem adjacent to the 'Challenger Memorial Forest' in
this Park." This Forest will
"cover over 12',i> acres of
land and give it lush greenery which will help cultivate
the soil, purify and humidify
terrain and aid the economy
by employing hundreds of
Israelis to do the planting,
install miles of irrigation
systems and canal terrace
hillsides and turn wasteland
into productive farmland.
Mr. Skilken's dream of a
'Green Israel' will be aided
through the 'Morris and Fannie Skilken Forest,'" continues Hoffman.

combat farm foreclosures.
Barbara Coopersmith, associate director of ADL's Denver office, testified as a witness in the case.
Extremists' Campaign
Falters
Previous ADL analyses of
the efforts of extremists in
the farm belt, including an
ADL-commissioned Louis
Harris poll conducted in
Iowa and Nebraska earlier
this year, revealed that their
campaigns to scapegoat
Jews for the farm crisis have
not been successful.' '
During the Nebraska election campaign, Sileven, who
is pastor of the Faith Baptist
Church in Louisville, Neb.,
appeared on the same platform with Larry Humphries,
founder of the anti-Semitic
paramilitary organization
known as the Heritage
Library.
During the campaign, the
ADL noted, Sileven shared
an office with Rudy "Butch"
