Rokach Denounces Ads
Making Him Revisionist
TEL AVIV, (JTA) — Mayor
Israel Rokach who is presently
detained at the Latrun camp
along with scores of other Jewish
leaders, mostly Revisionists, ask-
ed the Jewish Telegraphic Agency
through his secretary, to deny
in his behalf that he is a Revision-
ist leader, as has been claimed
in advertisements in New York
- newspapers released over his
signature.
"I was never a Revisionist," his
message said. "The signature
(used in the ads) is forged."
