Action in Congress, UN to Check
Worldwide Anti-Semitic Vandalism
WASHINGTON, (JTAl—The House Foreign Affairs Committee
unanimously adopted a resolution calling on other governments to
prevent any further anti-Semitic vandalism or desecrations.
The resolution was submitted by Rep. Barratt O'Hara, Illinois
Democrat. Twenty-three members of the committee joined with O'Hara
in supporting the proposed resolution. It is expected that the resolu-
tion will be adopted by the full House and then referred to the Senate
as a concurrent resolution.
In the resolution, Congress would express "its profound sense of
indignation and shock at this epidemic of desecration" and call upon
"all persons and governments throughout the world to exert their
energies to the end that the shameful events shall not recur."
The resolution noted that a wave of desecration of "places of
worship and other sacred sites" had spread through Europe and
other parts of the world and that instances had occurred in this
country. It said that "if unchecked this wave can only result in
grievous moral deterioration and denial of the true spirit of the
Brotherhood of man."
The State Department made known that it has investigated the
recent outbreak of anti-Semitism in West Germany and found no evi-
dence to indicate that Communists were responsible. In a letter to
Rep. Cornelius E: Gallagher, New Jersey Democrat. Assistant Secre-
tary of State William B. Macomber revealed the Department's findings.

Semitism but other religious and so-called racial prejudices."

Nations, and the UN Specialized Agencies. to obtain from member
states "at the earliest possible time" information and comments on the
