John Paul made his statement to the Jewish community in this historic city on the second day of a four-day visit to the region. His journey to France is his 40th foreign trip since becoming pope in 1978. The speech occurred at a time of ten sion in France over anti-Semitism and racism. Ultra-conservative Catholics count heavily among the followers of right-wing politician Jean-Marie Le Pen, who campaigns on an anti-immigrant platform and has been accused of making anti-Semitic remarks. Also Sunday, the pope saluted Mos lems and called on Protestants to be pa tient with efforts to unify the Roman Catholic church and other Christian churches. John Paul took a cruise on the Rhine River to talk to shipworkers, said Mass for the diocese of Strasbourg and helped celebrate the city’s 2,000th anniversary, addressing thousands of citizens in French and in their Alsatian dialect. The Jewish community of Strasbourg sent a letter to the Vatican several months ago protesting continuing in stances of Catholics blaming the Jewish people for the killing of Christ and asked the pope to recognize the state of Israel, WORD PROCESSING-Papers, resumes, theises, dis sertations.

In a meeting at the residence of Stras bourg’s archbishop, the pope told the Jewish representatives the two religions honored the same God and had a com mon heritage and values. “It is, therefore, in deep fidelity to the vocation to which the God of peace and justice calls us — and with us, all the Eu ropean peoples — that I repeat once again with you the strongest condemna tion of all anti-semitism and of all rac ism, which are opposed to the principles of Christianity and for which there exists no justification in the cultures that would be tempted by them,” the Polish-bom pope said.

Lefebvre was excommu nicated last summer for elevating several followers to bishops in defiance of church authority. The Jewish community of Strasbourg, now with 15,000 members, was sub jected to massacres and expulsions in the 14th century and persecution during World War II. Germans who occupied the city in 1940 destroyed the synagogue and 800 Jews were shot or deported. The pope praised the Jews’ witness to their faith, which he said "went as far as martyrdom, that survived the long shad ows of incomprehension, of the horrible abyss of the Shoah (Holocaust).” He did not discuss Israel. Vatican offi cials have cited Israel’s unsettled borders and the status of Jerusalem as obstacles to the Catholic Church’s recognition of the Jewish state. The Vatican also says Palestinians are entitled to a homeland. The pope in turn presented the Jewish delegation with papal medals. Some arch-conservative French Cath olics, particularly those inspired by brea- Earlier, the 68-year-old pope heard a challenge from the leader of Strasbourg’s Protestant community, Michel Hoeffel, who said churches were moving too slowly toward unity, causing true suffer ing among the faithful, especially cou ples of mixed marriage who wanted to receive the Eucharist together.

Agents scrutinize Bakkers’ finances CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — While Jim and Tammy Bakker have been asking for money to regain control of PTL and set up a new television min istry, federal agents have been keeping a close watch on their fund-raising tactics. “I imagine they’re checking very carefully to see what he’s doing,” said Hendersonville lawyer Jim Toms, one of Bakker’s attorneys. He said federal au thorities have questioned him about the recent fund-raising. “They’re looking at it critically, but are keeping an open mind,” Toms said. “They’re giving him room to see what he is really going to do.” The focus on the latest fund-raising ef fort comes in the midst of a 14-month- long federal grand jury investigation into possible wrongdoing by the former PTL president and founder and his top aides. Bakker won’t disclose how much his latest efforts have raised. But Toms said he is keeping federal authorities posted on Bakker’s activities and has offered to let Internal Revenue Service agents in spect Bakker’s financial records. In a fund-raising campaign launched last month, the Bakkers mailed about 200,000 packets to potential donors across the nation. Cards in the packets spell out their in tentions: “Your gifts are used to support Jim and Tammy and all their ministry. They have the discretion to allocate your gift where needed. Jim and Tammy have a nonprofit ministry. New Covenant Partners and Church, and are proceeding to apply for tax exemption, but your gift is not tax deductible at this time.” Charles Alexander, the Justice Depart ment prosecutor heading the grand jury investigation, declined to say if agents are asking about the Bakkers’ latest fund-raising techniques. “I have no comment at all,” Alexan der told the Charlotte Observer. “I don’t even acknowledge the existence of an in vestigation.” Les Witmer, an IRS spokesman in At lanta, said: “Obviously, based on pre vious activities, the Internal Revenue Service would be very interested in the fund-raising activities of the new cor poration.” The IRS in April revoked PTL’s tax- exempt status on the ground that Bakker operated it mostly to make money — not to minister. Bakker resigned as PTL president in March 1987 after admitting a one-time sexual encounter with former church sec retary Jessica Hahn. Three months later, PTL filed forib ganization under federal bankw; laws, and a bankruptcy judge has se ordered the ministry to sell its assets the Heritage USA Christian retreaia theme park, the PTL satellite TV * work and 1,700 undeveloped acres land.

Soviets report first AIDS death MOSCOW (AP) — : The Soviet Union on Sunday reported its first AIDS death, that of a pregnant prostitute from Lenin grad, and authorities may publish her photograph to alert her sexual partners. The 29-year-old woman died Sept. 5 of pneumonia follow ing a 26-pound weight loss, chronic tonsillitis and bronchitis and a serious decline in the count of her immune system’s T- cells, the labor newspaper Trudreported. All are common symptoms of aquired immune deficiency syndrome, and the newspaper noted that epidemiologists were incensed that the woman’s doctors failed to diagnose AIDS before she died. authorities are considering publishing the womans graph to alert her partners, the paper said. She was registered as a night school student andasawerb at a factory, but police said she earned her living as apis tutc for foreigners.

Ill tfn son said. “We have nine types of banners with pictures of griffins, dragons, castles and unicorns on them, which run for $20 each. Our tents are popular, too.” Daw son said they make five kinds of tents, which sell to both individuals and other Renaissance festivals around the coun try. “Our most common style is a closed tent with a teardrop-shaped entry and 16- foot peak,” Dawson said. “But we sell many open tents, too.” The average price for the hand-made tents is about $1,000 to $1,500, he said. If the 225 shops can’t hold the visi tors’ interest, they can watch plays, mu sical groups, magicians and other per formers on any of the many stages on the festival grounds. Michael Kaufman, also known as “Magical Mystical Michael,” presents a unique mixture of magic and humor. “My great-great-grandfather handed these magical secrets down to my great grandfather,” Kaufman said during a performance. “My great-grandfather handed them down to my grandfather. And my grandfather sold them to me.” Kaufman is one of many professionals who work the Renaissance Festival “circuit,” including about 30 festivals nationwide. The festivals start in April in Florida and end in November in Texas. “1 started doing Renaissance Festivals in 1978 in California, and then went to Minnesota and Texas,” Kaufman said. “I used to do street shows in California, but I prefer doing the festivals. There’s more money in them, for one thing, and they’re more controlled. You don’t have to worry about getting run off of the road.” Kaufman’s show is about half an hour long. “One thing I really like about the festi val here in Texas is that there’s 30 min utes between each show,” Kaufman said. “It’s a great idea. If you really get caught up in your act, it gives you a few extra minutes to go over without running into the next performer’s time. It’s also a nice break for the audience.” Less structured events take place all over the festival site. James Ellis, known as Deante Fettucci, does a tightrope act in the middle of town that even includes juggling cooked pasta. “I’ve been working the circuit for seven years now,” Ellis said. “This is my first year here at the Texas festival, and I think it’s going to be great.” Ellis joined his first testival in children's coin? when he was 12.
