II HUM Blitzer bumped by Bush by David Landau JERUSALEM (JTA)—The Jerusalem Post’s Washington cor respondent, Wolf Blitzer, was dropped at the last moment from U.S. Vice President George Bush’s party visiting the Middle East this week, although Blitzer is an Amer ican citizen and an accredited White House correspondent. Bush arrived in Jerusalem Sun day at the start of a four-day visit to Israel after which he will be going on to Jordan, Egypt and possibly Morocco. Blitzer, who also writes for sev eral other newspapers, was told that he could not accompany the vice president as he would not be welcome in Jordan. The reporters, who had origi nally been invited by Bush to join his entourage, had received a visa Nazi’s son gives book collection to Tel Avivllniv. WASHINGTON—Tel Aviv University has announced that it is the beneficiary of some 8,000 vol umes from the book collection of Dr. Deitrich Kramer,who died at age 72 in Gottingen, West Ger many. In addition to volumes on Judaica and anti-Semitism, the collection includes histories and legends of peoples of the world. Kramer’s “mother was active in the Nazi movement and as a result he broke all ties with his family,” the announcement said. “After the Second World War, he continued to view all Germans as Nazis, and he lived in isolation, surrounded by his books which overflowed into every corner of his home. His relationship with Israel began in 1961 when he first visited the coun try as a member of a German delegation. Dr. Kramer’s last words to his friend Eli Rothschild upon donat ing his book collection were ‘You are the last humanists from Ger many who will be able to make use of it.’” —Joseph Polakoff Low Prices Eye Glasses Contacts [We have a large selectionj of quality eyewear.

Only a few hours before the trip, Blitzer was informed by Stephen Hart, assistant press secretary to the vice president, that Hart had been told during his preparatory trip to Amman that Blitzer would not be welcome because he would be writing about the trip for an Israeli paper, the Jerusalem Post. Blitzer, however, says that he had personally clarified this point with the Jordanian ambassador to the U.S., Mohammed Kamal, who himself had cleared the problem with Jordan’s foreign minister, Taher el Masri. Blitzer had accepted a Jordan ian suggestion that he should pre sent himself as a syndicated columnist although, according to Kamal, “everyone in Jordan” knew that he was the Post’s Washington correspondent and that his articles would appear in that paper. After Bush’s rejection of Blitzer, the ambassador received an assu rance from the press spokesman at the Royal Palace in Amman that the reporter “would indeed be wel come.” However, in a subsequent conversation with Hart, Blitzer was told that the U.S. Embassy in Jor dan had also informed the vice president that Blitzer would not be welcome, and that his rejection from the travel party was final.
