ticular had been watched for in-
dications of conservative resur-
gence against liberals elected in
1964. The liberal Jewish Demo-
crats won in both instances. Rep.
Richard L. Ottinger defeated his
Republican challenger, Frederick
H. Martin, Jr., in the wealthy and
predominantly Republican West-
chester and Putnam counties. Ot-
tinger became the district's first
Democratic Congressman when he
won in 1964.
A similar contest was held in
prosperous Nassau County on
Long Island. Rep. Lester L. Wolff.
the Democratic incumbent sup-
ported by the Liberal Party, de-
feated Steven B. Derounian, a
very conservative Republican. De-
rounian sought to generate fears
among whites on the Negro rights
issue.
Minor manifestations of anti-
Semitism were noted in Pennsyl-
vania where Milton Shapp, a Phila-
delphia industrialist, .was defeated
in his bid to be Governor. This
bias emanated from crank ele-
ments. Propaganda was distribut-
ed in which Shapp was called
"Shapiro" to remind non-Jews of
Mr. Shapp's origin. The election
was won by the Republican Lieu-
tenant Governor, Raymond P. Sha-
fer, who abhors prejudice. Gov .-
elect Shafer has visited Israel and
is an enthusiastic supporter of the
Technion at Haifa.

WASHINGTON—An evaluation
of the national election results in-
dicates a new climate in Washing-
ton on issues of Jewish interests.
The 90th Congress may show in-
creased Congressional determina-
tion to withhold aid to Egypt's
Nasser and to support Israel. Con-
gressional sentiment, incorporat-
ing views of both parties, is now
on record against assistance to an
aggressive, militaristic Egypt.
The State Department has been
called to account by Congress in
the past. It would appear that the
voices of a number of new Re-
publican Senators and House
members will now join those of
both parties who are concerned
about Israel's fate.
Jews were most concerned on
the domestic scene by the civil
rights "backlash" question. But
the election revealed rejection
of backlash appeals in some
states. Maryland voters spurned
open prejudice. In other con-
tests, backlash was a factor. The
election of conservative Republi-
can Ronald Reagen in California
to replace liberal Governor Ed-
mund G. Brown was facilitated
by racial tensions and riots.
Prejudice was repudiated in
Massachusetts with the election to
the Senate of Edward W. Brooke,
a Republica n. Brooke is the
first Negro ever elected to the
Senate by popular vote. His elec-
