NY Human Rights Commission Probes Charges Against CORE NEW YORK (JTA) — William H. Booth, chairman of the City Commission on Human Rights, de- signated two members of the com- mission to probe charges of "bla- tant and vicious anti-Semitic out- bursts and racist behavior," by members of CORE—the Congress of Racial Equality — directed against principals and teachers in four public schools in predominant- ly Negro neighborhoods. Booth appointed Commissioners Dorothy Hart Hirshon and Frank C. Montero to investigate the charges. Declaring that they would, at the same time, try to bring "the parties together in an at- mosphere of understanding and frank discussion," he expressed the hope that the commissioners would also be able to resolve the issue raised by CORE representa- tives, "who seek equality of edu- cation for their children." The charges were filed by the Anti- Defamation League of Bnai Brith. According to the ADL, CORE members had harassed princi- pals and teachers, subjecting them to anti-Semitic epithets at three schools in Brooklyn and one in Queens. The ADL sub- mitted documents backing its charges and specifically pointing to persons connected with CORE chapters in those two New York City boroughs. In one instance, the ADL charg- ed, at a meeting with school offi- cials, a CORE representative in Brooklyn had stated: "We've got UN Aide Told Plight of Jews in Arab Lands to get these Jews out of Bedford- Stuyvesant. It's the Jews who are to blame." Bedford-Stuyvesant is largely a Negro ghetto in Brooklyn. During a demonstration by 40 CORE members in Queens, the ADL alleged, demonstrators shout- ed: "Why don't you white Jews go back to Great Neck?" CORE has charged that princi- pals and teachers lack "sincere interest" in educational equality for Negroes and Puerto Ricans. Robert Carson, community rela- tions director of CORE in Brook- lyn, said "we welcome an official inquiry." At one of the schools, in the Clean 159 Spanish Texts of Anti-Semitic Reference THE DETROIT Brownsville section of Brooklyn, CORE accused the principal and nine teachers of "physical abuse" of pupils. But Harry R. Levine, principal of another of the schools involved, in Bedford-Stuyvesant, said he was "fearful of my life" after groups had petitioned the board of education for his re- moval. TRUSTED FOR ACCURACY SINCE 1853 -T- TISSOT Friday, August 11, 1967-3 JEWISH NEWS (Direct JTA Teletype Wire to The Jewish News) The Christian-Jew- MADRID ish Friendship Committee re- ported here Wednesday that 159 primary school textbooks have been revised to eliminate refer- ences offensive to Jews. Some of the phrases eliminated from the texts referred to Jews as "usurer," "national spendthrift," "ungrate- ful people" a n d "ceremonial criminals." Officials of the committee said the campaign against "false" in- terpretations of Jews would be continued in the interests of great- er harmony between Catholic Spain's various religious groups. There are about 6,000 Jews in Spain and a slightly larger num- ber of Protestants. Spanish non- Catholic religions recently were given freedom to worship under a new religious law. — KAPLAN BROS.

Yosef Tekoah, the assistant director general of Israel's foreign ministry, discuss- ed the problem with the UN offi- cial. Deep concern over the fate of the Jews in the Moslem coun- tries was expressed Monday night at a meeting of the secur- ity and foreign affairs committee of parliament after motions were made to place the issue on the parliamentary agenda by mem- bers of the Mapai-Ahdut Avoda alignment and by Gabel. Estimates of the number of Jews now under some form of de- tention in Arab countries range up to 6,000, with 4,000 still in Egypt. Hundreds of Jewish men are in Egyptian detention camps, and their families live in fear of their lives.. In Iraq, according to infor- mation known here, searches and detentions continue indiscriminate- ly. Some Jews are being held without legal process or stated rea- sons for days, then suddenly re- leased and then detained again.
