Jewish citizens denounce PLO, Arafat Gunman wounds PLO official in head
Arafat, smiling and in uniform,
arrived in Paris yesterday to an
official greeting just below that for
a chief of state. There were red carpets
at the airport but no Palestinian
flags.
France's Jewish community largely disapproves of the visit. In the Jewish-dominated Paris garment district, shopkeepers and manufactures burglar alarms simultaneously for five minutes to show displeasure.
Israeli accusers protested outside the French consulate in Jerusalem and the embassy in Tel Aviv. One group carried a stained French flag and waved signs that read "We don't help us to build crematoria for us."
In Jerusalem, Israeli leaders criticized France for receiving the PLO chief.
Yesterday was Israel's national day of mourning for the six million Jewish victims of the Nazis.
Other protests were conducted at a Paris synagogue, in Strasbourg and in Marseille. Supporters of Arafat also marched in Paris.
Hubert Vedrine, spokesman for Mitterrand, read a statement implying that the troop of Argentine urged the troops to drop the charter article about the destruction of Israel.
SIDON, Lebanon - A masked gunman burst into a gift shop yesterday and critically wounded PLO chief Yasser Arafat's personal representative to Lebanon, police said.

Issam Salem, the Palestine Liberation Organization's top official in Lebanon, was in critical condition and undergoing surgery to remove a bullet from his head, doctors said.

"We must not let ourselves be terrorized by this incident but do all we can to put into effect the Arab resolutions on Lebanon," Arafat said, referring to an league call for a truce in the country's 14-year civil war.
The latest outbreak has pitted Christian forces against an alliance of Syrian soldiers and Drusse Muslim militia.
Arafat said he thought the shooting was "a message for us to put up our hands and stop helping our Lebanese
The PLO chief, who has longstanding differences with Syria, had voiced support for the Christians in the current fighting, which police say has killed 278 people and wounded 1,010.
A police spokesman in Sidon, a port city 25 miles south of Beirut, said the attack came after Salem got out of his white Mercedes and entered a gift store on Fakhreddine Street. His two bodyguards waited in the car.
"A lone assailant, wearing a plastic mask, stormed into the shop shouting 'issam Salem.' When Salem turned to face the gunman, he fired two 9mm bullets into
Saleem's head and shoulder and escaped," said the spokesman, who cannot be identified under police rules.
The bodyguards chased the gunman, but he disappeared in the narrow alleys leading to Sidon's Ein Hilweh compound.

Salem was taken to Sidon's Hammoud Hospital, where
he underwent surgery to remove the bullet that pierced
the left side of his forehead.
"He stands a 50-50 chance of making it, but even if he does he will be suffering from a neurological defect," said one of the surgeons, Dr. Hussein Mansour. "That means possible partial paralysis."
The police spokesman said there was no immediate information on the gunman's identity.
It was the second assassination attempt in four days against a箭 Arafat aide in Sidon.

No one has claimed responsibility for either attack. A no school PLO official, without making specific accusations, said the attacks on Salem and Webbi apparently were linked.
"The rapid succession of the two attempts indicates an organized intelligence apparatus was out to eliminate Arafat's men," said the official, who declined to be identified.

"Support for sex education is strong. Not only does a large majority of the American public support it, but so do most state education agencies and large school districts," concluded the study, "Risk and Responsibility: Teaching Sex Education in America's Schools Today."
NEW YORK — The AIDS crisis has generated nationwide support for sex education but has taken attention away from other important sexual topics like pregnancy prevention, leading to a survey released yesterday.
But the report found that the nearly $6.3 million states spent in 1987-88 on sex education curricula, $5.1 million was specifically for AIDS

Survey indicates support is up for sex education
The cards, folded into a manageable stack, were presented by Robinson and Hollywood Chamber of Comics Grant Bill Welsh and Johnny Grant
during the weekend after a private service at Forest Lawn Memorial Park in the Hollywood Hills.
Forty states either support or require sex education, said the study by the Alan Guttmacher Institute.
But Jeannie Rosoff, president of the institute, said that states had abdicated their role in sex education by giving districts vague guidelines on how to teach it and by not setting teacher certification standards.
"When you're married to someone for 29 years, you just don't know you don't take it for granted — but you love that love that loves that jerp," Morton said.
I one study also found that almost one third of sex education teachers said their biggest problem was pressure from parents, the community or administrators, especially when it comes to men's sexuality, condoms or abortion.
The $232,000 fund, financed primarily by the Carnegie Corp. of New York, examined teaching policies and methods in grades 7-12. The findings were published in "Family Planning Perspectives," a bi-monthly publication of the Guttmacher Institute, a private, nonprofit research group that studies reproductive health.
wide mailed surveys conducted in the spring of 1888. One polled 4,341 of the estimated 50,000 public school teachers who teach sex education. A second surveyed all state education departments and the District of Columbia regarding sex education laws, policies and curricula. The third asked similar questions of 162 large school districts.
It concluded that the crisis orientation created by AIDS has led educators to stress the negative outcomes and then neglecting other important issues.
Five other states — Alabama, New York, North Carolina, Ohio and Oklahoma — discuss condoms but in a negative light, usually stressing the failure rate. New York's curriculum extols asiense as freedom from the bother and dangers of the pill, IUD and other contagencives.
In only six states — Connecticut, Hawiti, Massachusetts, Michigan, New Jersey and Vermont — are condoms discussed explicitly. Michigan's curriculum discusses where condoms can be bought and New Jersey's suggests ways of teaching students how to use them.

Mary Hatwood Futrell, president of the National Education Association, said the study demonstrated the need for better teacher training.
"Our public schools must provide teachers with the necessary tools and resources to conduct effective sex education at all levels," she said.
Twenty-nine percent of teachers complained of inadequate materials, and 25 percent said students were a bit overburdened. One embarrassed or ignorant about sex.
