LONDON—The British Maccabi,
a Jewish sports organization, said
Tuesday that it had canceled plans
for a summer encampment in
Yugoslavia for 80 of its members.
A spokesman said that a finan-
cial loss would be incurred as a
result of the cancelation, but
young Jews would not go camping
in Yugoslavia after Marshal Tito
had severed diplomatic relations
with Israel and the Yugoslav press
had published "scurrilous attacks"
on the Jewish state.
The Maccabi encampment will
be held in Romania, the only state
in the Soviet bloc which• did not
break off relations with Israel.
