The Anti Anti Front

-

The Rockwell situation has presented Jewish Organizations with
the question as to whether the presently available legal remedies
against anti-Semitic conduct and expression are adequate . . . Jewish
organizations are bent on demanding additional legal measures .. .
They want to have public meetings of anti-Semitic groups barred
by law . . . they seek the enactment of a Federal group libel law
. . . They demand legislation, Federal and State, making it a crim-
inal offense to advocate anti-Semitic activities . . . They would like
to see anti-Semitic groups investigated by Congress ... They insist
on placing anti-Semitic groups on the Attorney General's list of
subversive organizations . . . They want a law empowering the
Postmaster General to exclude anti-Semitic matter from the mails
and they demand increased penalties for anti-Semitic violence and
vandalism . . . The present penal codes are considered by Jewish
organizations as containing ample laws to take care of the anti-
Semite who assaults a Jew or plants a stick of dynamite under a
synagogue . . . Every state in the Union has laws on its books
penalizing malicious injury to persons or property ... Nor are laws
lacking to reach those who engage in the somewhat less serious
anti-Semitic conduct of throwing rocks through synagogue windows,
or painting swastikas on their walls, or overturning monuments in
-Jewish cemeteries . .. The wave of swastika paintings during the
past year has caused a number of states to amend their penal laws
so as to increase . penalties for vandalism to religious property . . .
Thus, in respect to actual or attempted violence and vandalism
there are many laws on the books to meet the problem . . . The
expressed Jewish dissatisfaction with the adequacy of laws against
anti-Semitic manifestations is therefore concerned with the expres-
sion and association, rather than with violence and vandalism.

Election Moods

Whether one likes it or not, it is obvious that some elements will
seek to introduce religious prejudice into the Presidential election
campaign . . It is feared that hate mongers will utilize the injec-
tion of the religious issue in the campaign for anti-Jewish purposes
. .. The Anti-Defamation League of Bnai Brith has made a study
of the propaganda against the naming of a Catholic as a Presiden-
tial candidate . . . The survey establishes that the 1,600,000 Southern
Baptists in Texas were advised by their state convention to con-
sider carefully before voting for a candidate who is a Roman Catho-
lic . , A similar stand was taken by Arizona Baptists, while
Georgia Baptists rejected a resolution opposing a Catholic President
• . , A Minnesota convention resolved to vote against a Catholic in
the White House . . One-third of 705 Presbyterian ministers an-
swering a magazine poll expressed a similar attitude .... A similar
resolution was adopted by the National Association of Evangelicals
. . HosVever, 13 leading Protestant officials—including the highest
officials of the - . Protestant Episcopal and United 'Presbyterian—
expressed the opinion that they would think it unjust to discount
.any Presidential candidate because of his religion . . The attitude
of Jewish groups is that it is perfectly proper to ask a candidate his
views on the many complex issues confronting the American people,
including the issue of separation of Church and State . . . However,
when such inquiries are made, they should be placed before all
candidates, regardless of their personal religious convictions.

Jewish Agency Reiterates Stand on
Allocations; Makes Some Revisions

In accordance with a decision
by the board of directors of the
Jewish Agency for Israel, Inc., a
subcommittee of the board, un-
der the chairmanship of Joseph
Meyerhoff, met to consider as-
pects of the Agency's decision to
discontinue all allocations to the
various constructive funds, and
it was unanimously agreed that
no change would be recommend-
ed in the previous decision to
discontinue allocations to funds
of political parties.
However, the committee re-
viewed the services rendered by
such institutions and agencies to
new immigrants for their ab-
sorption and integration, and
found' that certain of their activi-
ties belonged in the. same cate-
gories of philanthropic activities
as those generally contemplated
for support by the Jewish
Agency for Israel, Inc. The com-
mittee also found that certain of
the beneficiaries of constructive
funds were already receiving
basic allocations from the Jewish
Agency, but that the interruption
of the flow of supplementary
funds to them could impose un-
necessary hardships on such new
immigrants.
The recommendations unani-
mously agreed upon for submis-
sion to the board for action are:
(1) That the board suggest to
the executive of the Jewish
Agency in Jerusalem that it con-
sider the inclusion in its budget
for 1961-e2 such appropriations
for agricultural settlements, edu-
cational institutions and. other
programs concerned with the ab-
sorption and integration of new
Immigrants, previously supported

by the constructive funds, as fall
into similar line-by-line cate-
gories in the Jewish Agency's
programmatic budget.
(2) When the budget pro-
posals of the executive of the
Jewish Agency come before the
board of the Jewish Agency for
Israel, Inc., the latter, after re-
ceiving relevant reports and eval-
uations from Dr. Isador Lubin,
its representative now in Israel,
make final decisions on the in-
clusion of such items in alloca-
tions.

Algerian Leaders Call-
Upon Jews to Join in
Fight for Independence

PARIS, (JTA)—Jews in Al-
geria are urged by leaders of
the National Liberation Front
to participate actively in gain-
ing independence for Algeria,
according to reports reaching
here.
They are called upon not to
leave either for Israel or for
France, but to remain where
they are and cooperate with
their Moslem neighbors "so as
to enjoy equal rights after in-
dependence".
In a pamphlet issued by the
F. L. N., Jews are reminded
that many Spanish Jews found
asylum in Algeria during the
Spanish Inquisition and after-
wards at the time of the Vichy
Government in Nazi- held
France.
The pamphlet emphasizes
that many Algerian Jews fought
together with Algerian Mos-
lems, and calls on all other
Algerian Jews to do the same.

LONDON, (JTA) — Ceylon's
new Premier, Mrs. Sirimavo
Bandaranaike, has issued a
statement indicating her govern-
ment intends to alter its friend-
ly policy toward Israel, to ap-
pease the Arab League states.
Ceylon and Israel have had the
friendliest of relations for years.
Two years ago, CeylOn bought
two warships from Israel. Mrs.
Bandaranaike's statement, is-
sued at her capital, Colombo,
reads:
"The government has had un-
der review the accreditation of
our Ambassador in Rome to Is-
rael, and the circumstances
under which this decision was
taken by the caretaker govern-
ment of Wijayananda Dahana-
yake. My government feels that
the accreditation was carried
through without adequate re-
gard to the special difficulties
of the situation in the Middle
East or proper consideration of
the possible effects the action
would have on our relations
with the Arab governments.
"My government •recalls that,
when the question of sending a
diplomatic representative to Is-
raael came up during the life-
time of the late Prime Minister
(S. W. Bandaranaike, husband
of the present Premier), he de-
cided to refrain from doing so
in recognition of the complexi-
ties of the situation in the Mid-
dle East.

Israel Protests
UN's Use of UARI
Troops in Congo

(Direct JTA Teletype Wire
to The Jewish News)

JERUSALEM. — The Israel
delegation to the United Nations
has been instructed to protest
against the UN's acceptance of
United Arab Republic troops
as part of the UN force in the
Congo.
This fact was disclosed here
Tuesday by Haim Yahil, director
general of the Foreign Ministry.
He . told the foreign, affairs and
security committee of the
Knesset that Michael S. Camay,
Israel's permanent UN repre-
sentative, has been instructed
to protest against the acceptance
of the UAR units and to "voice
apprehension" over the ac-
ceptance.
.
(See Editorial)
Secretary General Hammarsk-
jold announced last week that
he had "requested" the UAR to
contribute 500 soldiers to the
UN force in the Congo. But it
is understood here that UAR
President Nasser had brought
pressure to bear on the UN to
"invite" him to make this mil-
itary contribution.
The parliamentary committee,
at its meeting Wednesday, heard
a report about the situation in
the Republic of the Congo from
Ehud Avriel, Israel Ambassador
to Leopoldville, who is here
for consultations with. the For-
eign Ministry.

Technion Ups Export
of Science Know-How

Information made available
from the Technion Research and
Development Foundation Ltd. in
Israel indicates that between 1957
and 1960 a total of 35 research
projects were ordered at the
Technion from abroad, to a value
of 1,000,000 pounds.
One half of the projects, 18
in number, were placed with the
faculty of science, of which eight
were in physics, five in mech-
anics, two in physical chemistry,
two in mathematics and one in
organic chemistry.
The faculty of civil engeering
received six orders, of which
three were in soil engineering,
two at the building research sta-
tion, and one in hydraulics.
Director of the Technion Re-
search and Development Founda-
tion is Joseph Karni.

"It is the view of my govern-
ment that the action of the care-
taker government of Mr. Dahana-
yake reversed these basic pro-
poses to take certain urgent
remedial measures with a view
to strengthening and fostering
our relations with the Arab coun-
tries."
(A JTA report from Jerusa-
lem states that the Foreign Min-
istry-- of Israel has abstained
from commenting on the state-
ment of the new Ceylon Prem-
ier. The JTA report states ,that
the Arabs. have been pressuring
Ceylon for months against im-
proving relations with Israel,
and used the fact that the
Arabs purchase 25 per cent of
the island's tea exports—Cey-
lon's major export commodity—
as a lever against Israel. Re-
cently, it seemed as if the Arabs
gave up attempts at blackmail-
ing Ceylon, when they dropped
plans to boycott the country's
tea. JTA states that it is not
clear whether this change oc-
curred before or after Ceylon
promised to review its relations

with Israel. Observers in Jeru-
salem pointed out that even if
Ceylon decided to cancel ac-
creditation of its Minister to Is-
rael, there would be little prac-
tical significance to the -mOv-e,
since Ceylon's Ambassador to
Rome, who also is accredited to
Israel, has 'visited Israel only
once since accreditation 18
months ago. The Israel legation
in Ceylon is headed by a Charge
d'Affaires, while Israel's Am-
bassador to Burma also is non-
residen•, Minister to Ceylon).
