Soviet Jews Intimidated by Moscow,
Israel Embassy Replies in Charge
JERUSALEM (JTA) — The an-
nouncement in Moscow Jan. n
that 10 Israelis had been expelled
for alleged espionage and "Zion-
ist propaganda" activities was de-
scribed here as an amalgam of
trite Soviet allegations designed
to warn Soviet Jews to avoid all
contacts with visiting Israelis or
members of the Israeli Embassy
in Moscow.
Political sources also indicated
a belief that another objective of
the report in Izvestia, the Soviet
government organ, was to discour-
age Russian Jews from seeking
exit visas to reunite with members
of families abroad. It was noted
that the Izvestia story had been
reprinted in a number of other
Soviet newspapers.
The report asserted that seven
Israelis had been deported for
"espionage" activities and that
three others were expelled after
coming to the Soviet Union "in
the guise of tourists" to spread
"Zionist propaganda" in "con•
nivance" with the Israeli Em-
bassy. Izvestia did not report
when the alleged acts occurred.
The sources here said that a
large number of Soviet Jews had
sought to take advantage of an
assurance from Premier Kosygin,
made at a press conference in
Paris on Dec. 3, that the Soviet
Union would not place barriers in
the way of such Jewish emigration.
Soviet Jews have also tried to
contact foreign tourists to learn
details of life abroad, the same
sources stated.
A number of Israeli tourists
mentioned in the Izvestia articles
are either completely unknown to
Israeli authorities here or are
known to have been bona fide
tourists. The Israel Foreign Min-
istry released Jan. 12 a copy of
the declaration made by the Israeli
Embassy in Moscow declaring
that the Izvestia report was com-
pletely groundless and lacking all
basis in fact.
Ongania Regime Boon
to Jews., Say Observers
BUENOS AIRES !JTA) — Sir
Henry D'Avigdor Goldsmid, presi-
dent of the Jewish Colonization
Association. said here today that
"after a short visit here, my im-
pression is that as long as Gen.
(Juan Carlos) Ongania remains in
power, the Jewish community need
not fear outbreaks of persecution
and discrimination."
Sir Henry, who came here with
Victor Girmounsky, director-gen-
eral of ICA, to study the situation
of the ICA Jewish settlements, said
he had found 'conditions more sta-
ble than people believed. He noted
that the Ongania regime had got-
ten off to a "bad start" and that
"there was a feeling of a floating
anti-Semitic character" -but he
added that "President Ongania
realized this would have been a
mistake."
Continued inflation in Argentina.
Sir Henry said, had compelled
ICA to revise some of its plans.
He noted, however, that the Jew-
ish colonists enjoyed a higher
standard of living than ever be-
fore and said they were a stable
element, remaining on their farms
rather than seeking city life as
was the case some year ago.
Vatican Should Recognize
Israel, High Aide Advises
1
LONDON (ZINS) — A call for
Vatican recognition of Israel was
made by Christopher Hollis, chair-
man of the national commission
set up by Cardinal Heenan to im-
plement the Vatican Declaration
on the Jews.
Hollis said that it was unfortun-
ate that the Vatican had still not
recognized Israel. "Whatever we
may think of particular actions in
the past," he added, "there is
never much to be gained from re-
fusal to recognize a state that in
fact exists."

NEW YORK — The minister-
president of Bavaria, Dr. Alfons
Goppel, told an American Jewish
Committee delegation last week
that his government would use
its influence to urge local Oberam-
mergau officials to use a version
of the Passion Play that is not
anti-Semitic.
Dr. Goppel; Germany's consul-
general in New York, Dr. Klaus
Curtius; and other consular offi-
cials met with the American Jew-
ish Committee leaders in his suite
at the Americana Hotel.
Dr. Goppel explained that the
municipality of Oberammergau has
local autonomy. However, he said
that the state government, which
he heads, will use its influence
with the Oberammergau authorities
to substitute for the century-old
Daisenberger text, which contains
anti-Semitic stereotypes and allega-
tions, either the older 17th Cen-
tury text by the Benedictine monk,
Ferdinand Rosner, which presents
the passion of Jesus in allegorical
symbols as a fight between good
and evil, or a modern version by
the composer Carl Orff.
The American Jewish Com-
mittee leaders then asked that
the Bavarian state government,
which owns the copyright to
"Mein Kampf," take more de-
cisive steps to uncover the pub-
lishers and distributors of the
many pirated editons of the book
throughout the world and to
bring suit against them under
the international copyright laws.
Editions have been published
recently in Mexico and in Den-
mark, and then smuggled into Ger-
many. Under existing law in
Germany, books which preach
racial hatred and incitement are
illegal, and since World War II
the Bavarian government has
never given approval for the pub-
lication of "Mein Kampf."
Dr. Goppel promised to explore
with the foreign ministry in Bonn
ways of securing cooperation with
other governments to prevent any
illegal printing and distribution of
the Nazi work.
Turning to the question of the
last November elections, where
the neo-Nazi NPD (National Demo-
cratic Party) elected 15 representa-
tives to the Bavaria n State
legislature, Dr. Goppel said that
they are "like chickens without
heads," for they have neither a
clear-cut ideology nor program.
However, he added, that both
the federal and state governments
are concerned with the growing
show of strength in the radical
right and are seeking legal meas-
ures that would "clip their wings,"
without jeopardizing constitutional
freedoms.
Banning the NPD, he feared,
would drive them underground,
where they couldn't be observed.
Dr. Goppel said that he believed
that the NPD and right-wing pub-
lications, such as the Deutsche
Nationale Zeitung and Soldaten
Zeitung, received financial assist-
ance "even beyond the borders of
Germany."

Is Arab Minority in Israel Listening to Shukairy?
HAIFA (ZINS)—Amnon Lin, di-
rector of the Arab section of
Mapai, asserted here that the
Arab minority in Israel is being
influenced by the chauvinistic in-
citement emanating from Egypt
and Syria and that this poses a
great danger not only to the
state but also to the Arab minor-
ity itself.
Lin further said that almost all
Arab workers listen on their trans-
sistor radios to the inflammatory
broadcasts by Ahmed Shukairy and
openly in the presence of Israeli
Jews, express their solidarity with
the aims of Israel's bitterest
enemies.
This situation—w a r n s Lin—is
fraught with grave dangers and
he warns that the Arab minority
had better behave more sensibly.
