The board of the large and influential United Jewish Appeal-Federation of Jewish Philanthropies has scheduled an "open discussion" for Wednesday to try to calm the situation.

Chancellor Helmut Kohl suffered one of the worst political defeats in his 11 years in office last week when the conservative candidate he had hoped to make the next president of Germany pulled out of the race under fire.
