Separatist Leader
Denies His Party
Is Anti-Semitic

OTTAWA (JTA) — Gilles Gre-
goire, the newly elected leader of
Quebec's National Ralliement, a
separatist party, has denied that
his party is anti-Semitic. The
party has been under sharp criti-
cism for several anti-Semitic arti-
cles in its monthly magazine, La
Nation.
Gregoire, in a statement issued
from his House of Commons of-
fice, blamed the controversy on
the press.
He referred specifically to an
article in the August issue, head-
lined, "The Jews Flout Quebec,"
which drew sharp criticism from
the Canadian Jewish Congress.
The article alleged that Quebec
Jews gave so much financial and
other support to Israel that they
- did nothing for Quebec.
He said that the article was
published before he was elected
as party leader and that a five-
man editorial board had been
named to review all material in
the periodical. He said the con-
troversial article was "a letter
which slipped into the editorial
page by mistake."

Arab Saboteurs Damage
Israeli Electric Unit

TEL AVIV (JTA) — Israel
lodged a formal complaint with the
Israel-Jordan Mixed Armistice
Commission over a raid from Jor-
dan in which Arab terrorists sabo-
taged an electric transformer. Is-
rael accused Jordan of a breach
of the armistice agreement.
The transformer was knocked
out of action, apparently by ex-
plosives placed by the raiders.
The unit fed power to a water
pumping station four miles west of
the Dead Sea. I s r a e l i trackers
found footprints of two men lead-
ing from the Jordanian border to
the scene and back to Jordan.

Seville Hotel Decor
Goes Mediterranean

MIAMI BEACH—A $500,000 re-
decorating job is now under way
at the plush Seville Hotel.
Famed interior designer Jimmy
James, known as a color genius,

Pepsi Cola Building in Miami and
Mount Sinai Hospital. He has won

and have been distributed to pas-
sersby on main streets.
The posters, signed by the "Com-
mittee for Israel's Dignity," warn
"when the building will be com-
pleted, you will have to guard it
night and day, as there are Jews
who will not tolerate its existence."
Last week, a ministry of educa-
tion spokesman said that a final
decision on the Springer gift, of-
fered for construction and main-
tenance of a special building to
house a library and archives for
the museum, would be taken at the
"cabinet level," and that the mat-
ter would rest until the decision
was made.
