JOHANNESBURG, (JTA) —
Jewish organizations here are
having no trouble in getting
police. permission for public
meetings as required under
existing South African_ emer-
gency regulations. Communal
f e is - proceeding normally.
Prayers for peace and security
in South Africa were offered in
all synagogues.
Many local-rabbis are re-
ported in disagreement with the
call of Chief Rabbi Louis Rabi-
nowitz requesting that prayers
be recited both for the security
of the •Union of South Africa
during ,the current racial crisis
and for "political prisoners."
Rabbi A. Kossowsky declared
from the pulpit of Johannes-
burg's Central Orthodox Syna-
gogue that the Chief Rabbi
spoke only for himself and not
for the Jewish ecclesiastical
authorities of the South African
Jewish community. Rabbi Kos-
sowsky said that those author-
ities had always taken the view
that the synagogue should not
be involved in issues having a
Political character.
Lay Jewish leaders were re-
ported in disagreement with
Kossowsky's views and were un-
der stood to resent the action of
some Jewish groups in other
countries "precipitately passing"
resolutions criticizing the
actions of the South African
government in handling non-
whites.
The Jewish rabbinical and lay
leaders have stressed that the
disturbances were a South
African question and not a
"Jewish issue" and that Jews
abroad, like the Jews in South
Africa, are not entitled to speak
collectively as Jewish groups
on such questions although they
are.._entitled to have personal
opinions on the issues.
In Bulawayo, Rhodesia, iso-
lated anti-Semitic incidents
were reported early this year
by the Rhodesian Jewish Board
of Deputies. Areas affected
were Bulawayo, Salisbury, Kit-
we and Umtali. In Bulawayo,
a young man caught in the act
of daubing a swastika on the
synagogue was handed over to
the police and fined 50 pounds.

the town of Lusaka which, the
Rhodesian Jewish Board of
Deputies states, was plagued
by an anti-Semitic publication,
known as the "Gothic Review,"
in spite of the fact that the
editor is still living at Lusaka.
Some anti-Semitic literature,
however, is 'still reaching Rho-
desia. A particularly vicious
160-page booklet by Johann
Schoeman has been received in
Bulawayo and Salisbury. The
booklet is in English and Afri-
kaans and contains the usual
charges that Jews are both
Communists and capitalists.
"A sickening booklet of race
hate and hysteria" was the de-
scription g i y en of Johann
Schoeman's publication by a re-
viewer in the Cape Town
weekly New Age.
The review quotes a justifi-
cation by Schoeman . of the
gassing of the Jews by Hitler
who "had no alternative under
the circumstances," and con-
cludes by asking: "One wonders
.why the Nationalist government
which claims to have 'abol-
ished' anti-Semitism does not
take steps to prevent the pub-
lication of the racialistic mate-
rial so steadily turned out by
Schoeman."
