Newspapers Ridicule Egyptian Statements . (Direct JTA Teletype Wire to The Jewish News) MONTEVIDEO — A move by an Egyptian delegation currently visiting here and other Latin American countries to push anti- Israel propaganda has ended in total fiasco. A majority of the daily news- papers published statements made by the Egyptians in press conferences, critically or ironic- ally ridiculing the charges. : Given particular attention by the press was one sentence that "many Arab nations wish Is- rael's destruction and do not want to consider the possibility of peace with • Israel." The papers also published widely a statement by the Cen- tral Israelite Committee of Uru- guay, calling the attention of public opinion to the destructive statements of the Egyptian dele- gation. .
