A one-hour telecast by a Los
Angeles t el e visi on station,
aimed at exposing anti-Semitism
in a small California r e so r t
town, was described here as
being a "compound of fact, fic-
tion, speculation and hysteria."
Speaking at a cabinet meet-
ing of the Michigan Regional
Advisory B o a r d of the Bnai
Brith Anti-Defamation League
on Monday, Sidney J. Karbel,
chairman, a s s u r e d Detroiters
that the seriousness of the issue
was exaggerated by the TV
station.
(R e p or t s on the telecast,
which was presented twice to
California audiences, were re-
vealed both in The Detroit Jew-
ish News and the general press,
resulting in numerous inquiries
by concerned local citizens.)
Karbel read a special report
by Milton Senn, ADL director
in Southern California, who re-
vealed that TV station KTLA,
in its program, "City of Hate,"
did not come to the ADL for
advice or assistance in prepar-
ing the script.
The Anti-Defamation League
has ben working in the area for
18 months, Senn revealed.
Ch a r g e s of cross-burning,
anonymous letters, vandalism
and distribution of anti-Semitic
literature in the town of 2,300
people (in which 400 are Jews)
were true, Senn related.
He added, how e v e r, that
threats of bloodshed, as report-
ed by KTLA were "fiction;"
that charges of a conspiracy to
drive out the Jews was "pure ,
speculation;" and that claims
the Elsinore Jews are terror-
ized and live in fear is "sheer
hysteria."

News, on the background and
origins of anti-Semitism.
Interviewed by Jim Vinall,
Slomovitz expressed the view
that rather than "one hand,"
the new manifestations are
the result of "one idea"
which has spread as a result
of the neo-Nazi evidences in
Germany.
He traced the history of anti-
Semitism to the Hamanic ap-
proaches to Ahasuerus in the
Book of Esther, to the Stoics
of ancient times and to Apion,
whose anti-Semitic inventions
in the days of Josephus re-
sulted in Josephus' replies in
his book "Against Apion."
Slomovitz also referred to
the late Heywood Broun's de-
scription of anti-Semitism in
this country, in his book
"Christians Only," as "Five
O'Clock Anti-Semitism;" and he
maintained that there is a social
anti-Semitism in this country
that sets up a barrier between
Jews and Christians at 5 p.m.—
after business hours. "Anti-
Semitism in this country," he
said, "can receive its severest
HSIAlaf
ming the activities of a small
group of Nazi-apers has
helped to keep the anti-
Semitic activities within the
very tiny minority.
Sol I. Littman, Michigan
regional director of the Anti-
Defamation League, said local
manifestations were the work
of individual juveniles, and he
deplored "the unwritten agree-
ments by realtors barring Jews
from local residential areas"
as evidences of the existence
of prejudice.
A spot check made by the
J e wish Telegraphic Agency
Washington Bureau established
that police in some cities were
taking a more serious view of
the swastika epidemic.
In the United States, the FBI
has enteredthe picture, as let-
ters threatening "Death. to All
Jews" were received by Jewish
synagogal leaders at Jackson-
ville, Fla.
The barring of further in-
filtration of ex-Nazis into offi-
cial German positions and the
strengthening of democratic
programs was urged in an ad-
dress here, before the Ameri-
can Jewish Congress groups, by
Phil Baum, director of the AJC
national commission on inter-
national affairs.
Writing in the Detroit
Ttimes, Editor John Manning
on Sunday endorsed the
American Jewish Commit-
tee's view that the bigots
should be quarantined and
not given the platforms they
seek for their bigotry.
In Sunday's Detroit Times,
also, Bishop Emrich condemned
the swastika scrawler as "a
