Arab Boycott Office Rebuked by Japanese; Firm's Gift to UJA is Good -Will Indication JERUSALEM (JTA)—The Is- raeli ministry of commerce and industry announced it was lifting import restrictions on products of Hitachi, the huge Japanese elec- tronics firm, after the latter an- nounced it would defy the Arab economic boycott and do business with Israel. Hitachi, Ltd., once cited for al- legedly yielding to Arab Boycott Office pressures, declared it is not only willing to do business with Israel but has made a financial contribution to Israeli philanthro- pies "as an indication of good will." Hitachi, manufacturers of radios, televisions and electric appli- ances, was one of two Japanese firms listed by the Israeli govern- ment earlier this year as having stopped trade relations with the Jewish state because of Arab de- mands. Both companies do sub- stantial business in the United States. In a letter to Arnold Forster, general counsel of the Anti-Defam- ation League of Bnai Brith, T. Kawada, assistant secretary of Hitachi New York, declared that the firm "has never had a policy of discriminating a n y particular country against another." Kawada said that "although Hitachi does not have an office in Israel, we are willing to do business there as well as in other countries through agents or trading companies." He add- ed that a contribution to Israeli philanthropic causes had been made in June of this year through the Chicago Combined Jewish Appeal. Forster said that Hitachi and the Matsushita Electric Corp., the other firm cited, had appar- ently been victims of Arab Boycott Office "propaganda techniques." Matsushita, queried by the ADL official several months ago, also denied it had submitted to the Arab economic boycott of Israel, A GOOD MAN TO KNOW!

Matsushita, specifically accused of having refused to sell its dish- washers to Israel, explained that the appliances, manufactured at the time only for domestic sale in Japan, were not being exported to any country. Describing the Arab boycott as "an effort which has dwin- dled into little more than a pub- licity campaign," Forster ac- cused the Arab Boycott Office of JERUSALEM (JTA)—The ultra- Orthodox Agudat Israel elected a new party exceutive, comprised of all factions, and headed again by Rabbi I.

Jewish Camp Survivors Show Thanks to Polish Rescuer Seeking Citizenship NEW YORK (JTA)—Sixty New York Jewish men, women and chil- dren met Aug. 25 in a Bronx res- taurant to honor a Polish Catholic who saved eight of the adults from the Nazi annihilation program in occupied Galica during World War II. The eight adults were among 32 Jews saved by Staszek Jackow, 54, coachman of Stanislav, who man- aged to hide the intended victims for two years in a cellar in his home, only a few doors from the local headquarters of the Gestapo. When the Russians liberated Stanislav, the Jews left Europe and, later, settled in various parts of the world, including New York and Buenos Aires. Last April, they arranged to bring Jackow to New York. Later his wife and three sons were brought to the United States with the aid of Sen. Robert F. Kennedy, New York Democrat, to whom the rescued Jews ap- pealed for aid. Jackow has since been helped by an informal committee of the sur- vivors, headed by Jacob Spiegel, owner of a New York neckware wactory. The committee has col- lected $12,000 to aid Jackow and his family with all the problems of adjusting to a new country. Jackow hopes eventually to become an American citizen. Several weeks ago, the commit- tee arranged for temporary resi- dence for the Jackow family in a Manhattan hotel. Last week, he and his family moved into a Bronx apartment located by the owner of the restaurant where the meeting was held Aug. 25. The owner is one of the 32 who owe their lives to Jackow. Since Jackow is unable to work on his visitor's visa, the committee is paying his rent. Spiegel told the Jewish Tele- graphic Agency that the committee will assist Jackow in learning a THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS 8—Friday, September 3, 1965 1 block South of 7 U N 3-9300 "desperately trying to maintain the appearance of success" in order to "frighten other com- panies into obeying its de- mands." Forster said "More and more firms are ignoring Arab threats, rules and regulations as just plain poor business. But the Boycott Of- fice keeps trying to create the im- pression of effectiveness." Forster said that since the adop- tion of the Export Control Act Ex- tension virtually outlaws the Arab boycott in the United States, "the Arabs have intensified their pro- paganda campaign and trickery."

The commit- tee also plans to help the Jackow family acquire United States citi- zenship. The meeting Aug. 25 was ar- ranged to enable the children of the Jewish survivors to express their thanks to Jackow. The eight adults were among a larger num- ber of survivors who greeted Jackow when he arrived here last April. Since the eight survivors settled in America, their families have grown to a total of 60 persons.
