Hebrew translation of 'Mein Kampf stirs debate in Israel Associated Press "JERUSALEM A Holocaust survivor's Hebrew translation of Adolf Hitler's "Meln Kampf" has touched off a controversy over whether the book, a prelude to the slaughter of six million Jews, should be published in Israel. Author Dan Yaron argued Sunday that a Hebrew edition of Hitler's manifesto will educate young Israelis about the evils of the Nazi regime. Other Holocaust survivors say it should never appear on Israeli bookshelves.

So far, Yaron has not found a publisher. "It's not easy to get someone to publish a book that is connected to Hitler," said Yaron, who spent the past 18 months translating the first volume of "Mein Kampf." "But 50 years after Hitler, we must be strong enough to look at who he was," said Yaron, who fled his native Vienna in 1938 after watching Nazi troops parade down the main street of the Austrian capital. Yaron, a retired educator, said in an interview that young Jews should read "Mein Kampf" as a warning against racist ideology. Yaron said the fact his parents were killed by the Nazis while trying to escape from Austria has strengthened his determination to see the book published in Israel. "If people like my father would have had the internal strength to read the book, they would have known, and things would have ended differently," he said.

Other Holocaust refugees vehemently disagree with Yaron, saying publication would stir deep emotion in a nation that was founded in part to shelter the survivors of the Nazi horrors. If it is published, "there will be battles in the street," predicted Noah Klieger, a survivor of the Auschwitz concentration camp.

The violence erupted after a campus rally at Yonsei University to denounce the Roh government and demand free labor unions. Botha declares he will not retire significant amount of power to de Klerk, who took over as party leader .11 Feb.

2. Botha's speech came just one day Washington Post JOHANNESBURG, South Africa South African President Pieter W. Botha Sunday night ruled out the possibility he would soon retire from office and said he intended to postpone elections for a new Parliament and the end of his term from September until next spring. In a combative speech broadcast nationally on state-run television, the ailing 73-year-ol'i Botha warned his critics not to "sow political confusion" and said he would not be pressured by restve Cabinet ministers or his ruling National Party to leave office early. A majority of party members has been seeking to force him from office and replace him with Frederik W.

de Klerk, the education minister and party leader. "I don't believe in usurping the 'Lord's work ahead of time," declared Botha, saying that he had an unfinished agenda of reforming South Africa's apartheid system of racial separation without "handing over" power to the 23 million-strong black majority. "I originated the concept of re-" 'form," Botha said in a rambling and occasionally disjointed speech that seemed intended to intimidate the steadily growing wing of younger and more progressive National Party members of Parliament who have been urging him to retire since he suffered a stroke Jan. 18. "My entire life bears testimony to the reform that I have initiated," he said, "and I still believe that it should be pursued with two conditions I am for reform, but not for handing over.

I am for reform, but against the undermining of stability and order." Botha's five-year term of office was due to expire in September when the next parliamentary election was scheduled, but the president said that he will invoke a constitutional provision allowing him to delay the election and extend his term until March 1990, to allow time for a redrawing of election district boundaries according to the latest census. Many members of the National Party caucus in Parliament had been urging that an election be called in May, at which time Botha would, be replaced, and there also have been hints of a compromise proposal under which Botha Would have stayed in office until a September election provided he gave up a before a crucial meeting of top National Party leaders at which the succession to the presidency was to be discussed. According to party sources, the Nationalists' Federal Council a powerful advisory body that has not been overruled in more than 40 years planned to send Botha a strong signal that he should retire no later than September. His voice occasionally rising in anger, Botha denied suggestions by critics both in his party and among the opposition that he is clinging to power. "Why would I cling to power, especially when I've already said the president's workload must be lightened," Botha declared.

Botha's decision to relinquish the party leadership created not only an awkward division of power between him and de Klerk, who long have had an uneasy relationship, but left Botha without a base in the party and sent members rallying around the more progressive de Klerk as the most likely successor to the 40 SAVINGS fe.iaW Hill III I SPRING '88 PRICES IN 1 989 ON FAMOUS MAKER SUITS now thru March 25th SHOP AT HOME OFFERS NEW IDEAS Hunter Douglas state-of-the-art window designs combine function and fashion.
