Peronists Reported Split
on Anti-Jewish Proposal
BUENOS AIRES (JTA)—In-
formed sources said that no im-
mediate action was likely by the
Chamber of Deputies on a Peron-
ist proposal submitted to the
chamber on July 6, calling for a
congressional investigation of Jew-
ish organizations and their ties
with Israel.
The proposal was offered by
Juan Carlos Cornejo Linares, who
couched it in terms which Jewish
spokesmen called openly anti-
Semitic. The sources said the pro-
posal might remain quiescent for
months before being taken up for
consideration.
Meanwhile, the Peronist daily,
Democracia, declared that not all
deputies of the party were in
agreement with Linares' charges
against Jewish a n d Zionist
groups in Argentina. The daily
added that this was the tenor of
informal statements made by
Peronist members of Parliament
to Jewish leaders.
In a related development, the
Democratic Socialist Party for-
mally denounced a recent state-
ment by a retired Air Force of-
ficer, Gen. Gilberto Oliva, which
asserted that there was a Zionist
"conspiracy" to infiltrate all as-
pects of Argentine life. The Dem-
ocratic Socialist statement, which
appeared in Vanguardia, t h e
party's official publication, also de-
nounced the Linares proposal.
The party also assailed the anti-
Jewish and anti-Zionist activities
of Arab League representatives in
Argentina, which it called "mani-
festations contrary to our coun-
try's traditional democratic atti-
tude toward racial and religious
groups."

reason except that he is a Jew,

arms race and by the presence of
West German scientists in Egypt
working on advanced weapons for

He added that Russia helps the
Middle East more by projects like
the Aswan Dam in Egypt than by
supplying arms to the Arabs.
Prior to the opening of the meet-
ing, former Prime Minister David
Ben-Gurion met with a group of
younger Zionist Socialist leaders
from Britan who inspired him to
come to England to speak there.
He promised to consider the in-
vitation.

Ben Gurion was in his best
fighting mood Tuesday night at
the conference. Lashing out re-
peatedly against "hypocrisy" in
zionist debates and activities.
He urged the 200 delegates not
to pass resolutions which would
not be carried out. Repeatedly
stressing the need among leaders
for setting personal examples, he
complained that only one labor
Zionist leader had settled in Is-
rael. He added that everything
that had been achieved in Israel
had been done by those who came
to settle here.
"This country will exist with or
without foreign aid, for its sur-
vival depends only on those living
here," he asserted. He declined to
use the term "Socialist," he said,
because President Nasser of Egypt
and Stalin also had spoken in the
name of Socialism.
He rejected charges that his
government had refused to help
the Zionist movement adding that
"perhaps one madman did not
help but the whole government
did."
He added he did not plan to at-
tend the next World Zionist Con-
gress. Then he called on the dele-
gates to make maximum efforts to
intensify Hebrew education and to
encourage personal contacts of
Jews with Israel.
Deputy Premier Abba Eban and
Itzhak Korn, general secretary of
Mapai, also addressed the session.

Destroyed in Fire;
Probe Still On
TEL AVIV (JTA) — A big fire
broke out Sunday morning at the
offices and warehouses of Super-
sol, Israel's largest supermarket
chain, which is owned by a Ca-
nadian corporation. Fire brigades
from nearby suburbs assisted the
Tel Aviv fire department in put-
ting out the conflagration. Fire
department officials here said that
the fire had apparently destroyed
all of the company's records.
Several weeks ago the board of
directors of the Canadian parent
company claimed that there were
certain discrepancies in the ac-
counts of the Israeli management
and requested an investigation.
The investigation is now being
carried out.
"Jerusalem made a powerful
impression. Even in her present
decay, the traces of her past
beauty can still be discerned. This
city of many hills, in some ways
reminiscent of Rome, could once
more become a magnificent city
of the world."
