BUENOS AIRES, (JTA) —
Delegates to the conference of
the South American executive
of the World Jewish Congress
approved a broad-ranging pro-
gram to fight anti-Semitism on
the South American continent
and to enlighten public opinion
on the issue through the trial
of Nazi. Adolf .Eichmann.
The delegates also adopted a
declaration stressing the need
to call on world public opinion
to intensify efforts for full im-

Jewish communities throughout the country are urged by
national Jewish organizations to give George Lincoln Rockwell,
head of the American Nazi party, the "quarantine treatment,"

. . . In suggesting a "quarantine" for Rockwell, Jewish groups
make it clear that this should not be interpreted to mean they
are not on the alert about Rockwell's activities . .. They point
out that the methods of combatting anti-Semitic rabble-rousers

should seek or support group libel legislation as measures against
anti-Semitic agitators . . . All of the important Jewish organiza-
tions are on record opposing such legislation . .. They came to
this decision after years of study and discussion, and after a
detailed examination by qualified lawyers of group libel legisla-
tion specifically . . . The consensus was that such legislation
could bring more harm than good in the fight against those who
devote themselves to libel of Jews as a group . . Why the
Jewish War Veterans should feel itself more expert on group
libel law than any of the more important Jewish organizations
is difficult to understand, but JWV maintains that each of the
judgments advanced by all the other representative Jewish bod-
ies against group libel law is "erroneous."

The delegates were told that
anti-Semitism had increased in
Latin America since last year and
that outbursts of such incidents
had increased since the capture
of Nazi Adolf Eichmann here.
The delegates also learned of
the program of the executive
for publication of pamphlets
and articles under the auspices
of scientific conferences to en-
lighten public opinion.
