■ 14 -04.,
NEW YORK, (JTA)—Charges
that a Democratic State Assem-
bly candidate has caused the
distribution of "vicious, anti-
Semitic leaflets" in front of
Catholic churches, in an effort
to defeat another Democrat
who is Jewish, were made here
by the Jewish candidate.
Involved are Hyman J. Green-
berg and James McGinniss, both
of Queens, one of the boroughs
of New York City. According to
Greenberg, the leaflets, printed
in red, were passed out in front
of Catholic churches in Queens
last Sunday and "directly and
by innuendo cast aspersions on
the Jewish people." The leaf-
lets, said Greenberg, were de-
signed "to tell the people that
it's a Jew named Greenberg
who is running."
The leaflets also stated:
"Would you want Liberty Ave-
nue to become a Pitkin Avenue
every Sunday? We would not!"
Pitkin Avenue is a main thor-
oughfare in Brownsville, a sec-
tion of Brooklyn, where many
Sabbath-observing Jewish store-
keepers keep their shops open
on Sundays.

Morocco Reported
Pondering Arrest
of Jewish Leaders
CASABLANCA, (JTA) —The
Moroccan newspaper Ahkbar
Ed Dounia, which favors the
policies of President Nasser of
Egypt, asserted that the Moroc-
can Council of Ministers was
considering the arrest of cer-
tain Jewish leaders for allegedly
"plotting" against the security
of Morocco.
The publication asserted that
a number of "political meet-
ings" had been held by Jewish
community leaders "to discuss
anti - Moroccan action." The
newspaper, like the Minister for
Islamic Affairs, regarded Mor-
occan Jews as "proteges" and
not as equals of Moroccan Mos-
lems. The editorial concluded
with some favorable comment
on Hitler and Adolf Eichmann.
