a dinner held in honor of the dele-

Noting that the Jewish commun-

the activities of Arab groups aimed
at spreading the historic values
of Arab civilization, Abram de-
clared: "What we object to and
abhor is the fact that the Arab
League is not interested in ad-
vancing Arab culture. The League
is engaged exclusively in virulent
anti-Semitic activity."
Among those present at the din-

President Arturo Illia and Antonio
Cardinal Caggiano, as well as with
other personalities in Argentine
