Anti-Semitic American Legion Post Loses Charter SACRAMENTO (JTA) — The California State Executive Committee of the American Legion revoked the charter of the Legion's Signal Hill Post No. 490, at Los Angeles, for engaging in anti-Semitic and anti-Negro activities. The Legion conducted a two-day trial of the Signal Hill Post last April, at Hollywood. After reviewing the proceedings of that trial, the State Executive Committee voted revocation of the Israel's Fight on Illiteracy . . post's charter for "engaging in practices and a course of conduct that allowed the displaying and distribution at or about Legion meetings of anti-Semitic and anti-Negro literature." The post will be given an opportunity of appealing the state executive committee's decision to the Legion's national headquarters.

A copy of the Jordanian mural, which has been interpreted as being hostile to Israel, was unveiled last week in the courtyard of the Israel Pavilion. Accompanying the photographic blowup of the Jordan mural is a poem stressing peace. The Jordan Pavilion has persistently refused to remove the anti- Israel mural. Thousands of Fair visitors have paid 50 cents to enter the Jordan Pavilion and see the mural, but the reproduction will be placed in the Israel Pavilion courtyard where there is no admission fee. The poem was written by Harold S. Caplin, chairman of the board of the American-Israel World's Fair Corp., for the celebration of American- Isael Day at the Fair May 24. Entitled "Peace Through Understanding," it is patterned on the inscription under the Jordanian mural. The original says, "Before you go, have you a minute to spare to hear a word on Palestine and perhaps right a wrong?" The Caplin poem begins: "Before you enter have you a minute to spare to hear a word on Israel and enjoy seeing our dream?" It takes up Israel's history, heritage and geography, and in the tenth of 11 stanzas. it says: "We hail all our neighbors here at this fair. We degrade them not and ask the same in return. And to one and all, pledge our hope for `peace through understanding'." Earlier. New York City Councilman John Samuel proposed that if World's Fair Corp. President Robert Moses ignores the Council demand for removal of the Jordanian mural, the Council should enact a law to make it a misdemeanor to display on city property material which stimu- lates prejudice. The City Council resolution called the mural "a source of insult to millions of people in this city, state, country and the world." (Direct JTA Teletype Wire to The Jewish News) PARIS—Israel's Prime Minister Levi Eshkol, who is paying a 12-day, "private" visit to France, has found a "most friendly attitude" on the part of President Charles de Gaulle, as the two statesmen discussed a variety of subjects of common interest to both governments, it was rev"aled here Tuesday. Eshkol met for a full lour Monday with President de Gaulle, who according to most reliable sources here, showed "great understanding for Israel's problems — economic, political and military." In spite of the fact that Eshkol's visit was nominally "private," the Israeli premier was received by Gen. de Gaulle with great "eclat." As the car carrying Eshkol, who was accompanied by Walter Eytan, Israel's ambassador to France, arrived in the courtyard of the presidential palace, 10 presidential guards costumed in full uniform formed an arch. A platoon of infantry presented arms as Eshkol was greeted by President de Gaulle's political secretary, Pierre Gallichon. The latter escorted Eshkol and Eytan to the president's study for a conference which was attended only by Eshkol and Eytan, President de Gaulle and two interpreters. Throughout . the conference, it was reported, Gen. de Gaulle referred to Israel as "our f Aend and ally." The Israeli premier brought up in his talk with Gen. de Gaulle the poss . oility of Franco-Israeli cooperation in various scientific fields, especially in the science of oceanography. The same topic had been discussed earlier in a separate con- ference between Eshkol and French Prime Minister Georges Pompidou. Although no formal cummunique was issued after the de Gaulle-Eshkol con- ference, it was understood that, in addition to scientific cooperation, they talked also about the international situation in general, the Middle East situation, relations with West Germany and with Communist China, and Israel's relations with the Common Market. On all these subjects, it was stated authoritatively, the two leaders found themselves "in complete agreement." These sources described the Franco-Israeli situation, after the meeting, as "un- changed in all fields," declaring that "the same close ties between Israel and France continue to exist." Both President de Gaulle and Premier Pompidou showed keen interest in a Franco-Israel scientific agreement. Eshkol had also raised, in his talk with Premier Pompidou, the issue of the Arab boycott against Israel. The Israeli leader called Pompidou's attention to (Continued on Page 3) Community Relations Leaders See New Specter of McCarthy ism as Radical Right Gains Support ST. LOUIS—Jewish leaders expressed the fear that infiltration by the radical right of conservative elements in this country poses the threat of a new type of McCarthyism to our democratic proce.ss. Representatives attend- ing the 20th annual plen- ary session of the National Community Relations Ad- visory Council (NCRAC) at the Chase-Park Plaza cited the success of Sen. Barry Goldwater and other conservative political can- didates and their open ac- eeptance of radical right- wing support as one reason for the growing concern. Goldman Aaron Goldman, Washington, D.C. busi- nessman, newly elected chairman of the NCRAC, expressed particular concern over what he termed the continuing support for Sen. Barry Goldwater in spite of the fact that the senator has at no time modified any of the "extreme" positions he has taken on such issues as civil rights, the United Nations, TVA and social security. The view expressed by representatives contrasts with a survey presented to the NCRAC a year ago at their meeting in At- lantic City. An increase in ultraright-wing activity in certain parts of the country which should be closely observed and scru- tinized, it was then reported, did not repre- sent an active threat to the nation's demo- cratic principles. The NCRAC, the coordinating body of six national Jewish religious and civic agen- cies and 73 Jewish community councils in this country, also named Walter E. Klein, executive director of the Jewish Community Council of Detroit, a member of the NCRAC national executive committee. The comments at this year's meeting were in response by delegates to a section in a draft of a proposed "program plan" which contains a section on the radical right. The draft plan stated that differences existing between the ultraright and con- servatives could until now be detected by tactics and approaches, but that such criteria no longer apply under current conditions, singe the position of the radical right on many issues overlaps with that of conserva- tive views. As a consequence of these and related developments, the statements added, diffe- rentiation of right-wing radicalism from legitimate conservatism has become in- creasingly difficult. Lewis H. Weinstein, Boston attorney, who retired after four successive terms as chairman of the NCRA Council, in a closing address called attention to the "unholy alli- ance" which has emerged between the segre- gationists and the extremists of the radical right. He warned that there exists "another potential like that of McCarthyism, in which innuendo and unsustained accusation blank out debate and deliberation." "Should that happen, the democratic process of decision by reason and the weight of evidence may once again, as in that nightmarish era, be subverted," Weinstein declared. Goldman commented that "Unlike the true conservative, the 'radical right' denies patriotism to those whose vision of America differs from their own, continually raises the specter of communism to becloud issues." "Their extremism is matched by personal invective and attempts at personal intimi- dation alien to American traditions of fair play," the new chairman noted. "The diffi- cult job for those of us who oppose their views is to make certain we don't start imitating their methods." The consensus among a number of the delegates concluded that until this time the radical right groups have concentrated their efforts on local elections, but with the emer- gence and popularity of Sen. Goldwater they have gained encouragement to pursue na- tional political offices. At the same time, the Jewish community representatives feared that the success of these groups impedes the civil rights drive because of the cooperation existing between segregationists and rightists.
