The two are not related. Leo Mindlin has been cru- sading editorially against a lo- cal radio commentator, Alan Courtney, of Station WQAM, who has accused Israel, on the air, of "crimes worse than Hit- ler's." Courtney has insisted in his broadcasts that Nazi killer Adolf Eichmann, awaiting trial in Israel for the mass murder of Jews, "must be assumed in- nocent until proved guilty." The bomb in front of the Samuel Mindlin home tore a hole three feet wide by three feet in depth on the lawn and sidewalk facing the Samuel Mindlin property. Police and FBI are investigating the at- tack, and have placed the homes of both Mindlins under 24-hour surveillance. Leo Mindlin reported in his column last week that he had received seven threatening let- ters, two of which had warned that his home would be bombed. He stated that all of the letters included "crudely anti-Semitic" remarks. Courtney has been har- anguing on the air against Leo Mindlin and his newspaper, ac- cusing them of having "cruci- fied" Roy Cohn, former coun- sel for the late Senator Joseph McCarthy. Courtney was ac- cused by Ralph Renick, vice- president in charge of news of the local CBS-TV affiliate, Sta- tion WTVJ, of "arousing the worst instincts" of men. Officials of Station WQAM have denied any responsibility for the opinions expressed on the air by Courtney. $33,150,000 in Cash for WA Marks High Record for Non-Crisis Year WASHINGTON, D.C.—In its first campaign in 21 years un- marked by an immigration crisis in Israel or a massive emergency in Jewish life over- seas, the nationwide United Jewish Appeal Sunday marked a remarkable midyear stand- ing of $33,150,000 in cash raised against pledges. (Abe Kasle and Joseph Holtzman were the Detroit delegates at the conference.) (Michigan members of the USA national cash committee were Abe L. Drasin, Grand Rapids, and Richard Sloan, Detroit.) The sum was reached as 450 leaders of community cam- paigns from all parts of the country presented checks to- taling several millions of dol- lars to Melvin L ibinsky, of St. Louis, UJA national cash chairman, at the closing session of the two-day national midyear leadership conference at the Shoreham Hotel. Rabbi Herbert A. Friedman, executive vice-chairman of the Appeal, told the conference "if the campaign continues at the present pace, there is every reason to believe that by the year's end the 1960 drive will approximate the $68,000,000 raised by the UJA in its suc- cessful campaign of 1960." The UJA Executive Vice- Chairman paid tribute to "the maturity and deep sense of responsibility" • exhibited by American Jews in their re- sponse to the 1960 campaign. Muses A. Leavitt, executive vice-chairman of the Joint Dis- tribution Committee, under- scored the long-range aspects of UJA's support. The JDC, a principal beneficiary of the UJA; operates in behalf of dis- tressed Jews in twenty-four overseas countries, and con- ducts a special welfare program for aged and handicapped im- migrants in Israel. "In 1960, JDC is helping some .250,000 persons in Mos- lem countries, Europe and in Israel. It is worth noting that most of those whom the JDC helps no longer can be techni- cally clasified as 'refugees.' But the needs of these people are as great as in the days of home- less wandering, or greater," Leavitt said. Itzhak Aronowicz, captain of the ill-fated refugee ship "Exo- dus 1947" which attempted to run the immigration blockades to Palestine, was another major conference spealter. Dr. Abram L. Sachar, presi- dent of Brandeis University, told the conference that "Amer- ican Jews have no right to be- come tired" of fund-raising ap- peals until Israel's people have received full economic inde- pendence. "What Israel's people accept through our great philan- thropic campaigns is not for themselves," the noted Jew- ish historian and educator said. "It is accepted in order to keep - the land open for the only spot on earth where every Jew is immediately welcome and where there are no restrictive immigration acts to hold him off."

LONDON, (WJA) — Herbert' Cukurs, a fornier Captain in the Latvian - Air Force and leader of the .SS, thought to be responSible for the death of many Jews in Riga - during the Nazi occupation, has asked the Brazilian authorities for pro- tection and for the right to carry a weapon, following the capture and abduction of Adolf Eichmann, the World Jewish Congress learns. Using a Jewish woman as a stoolpigeon, Cukurs found his way. to Brazil after the con- elusion of hostilities and set- tled first in Rio de Janeiro and later in Sao Paulo. Repeated requests by Jewish organiza- tions for his expulsion from the country were rejected on the ground that evidence against him, presented to the authorities, was "insufficient" to make a case. The Brazilian authorities uphold their view even when, during a visit to Rio de Janeiro, Herbert Cu- kurs was identified by Rabbi Mordechai Nurock of Israel as having been responsible for the death of many Jews in Riga. Cukurs went as far as to apply for naturalization. His appli- cation, however, aroused strong opposition in parliamentary cir- cles and in the press. IF YOU TURN THE •iir•c3.
