THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS
Ziomst Youth Attack AJConimittee
as Imperialistic at Buenos Aires Parley
(Direct JTA Teletype W re to The Jewish News)
BUENOS AIRES—A spokesman
for the American Jewish Commit-
tee, which came under attack here
by several Zionist youth move-
ments, Monday defended the or-
ganization against charges that it
was "imperialistic and antiquat-
ed."
Dr. Richard Maas, a member of
the U.S. delegation that attended
a three-day seminar on human re-
lations, said the AJCommittee's
business was to develop Jewish
identity in the U.S. At the same
time, Capt. Carlos J. Korinblum,
president of the Argentine Jewish
Institute for Culture and Informa-
tion, the AJCommittee's sister
organization here, denied that his
group was either assimilationist
or anti-Zionist.
The two spoke at a press con-
ference following the close of the
seminar that had been attended
by delegates from Argentina,
Brazil, Uruguay and Chile, as
well as from the U.S. The press
was banned from the seminar
because, as Capt. Korinblum, an
Argentine Navy officer explain-
ed, the sponsors wanted an open,
frank discussion which might
have been inhibited by the pres-
ence of journalists. It was at one
of the sessions that several
youths scattered leaflets from the
gallery attacking the AJCommit-
tee.
The gathering, first of its kind
on the continent, took up a prob-
lem that has been the source of
growing concern among Latin
American Jewry — anti-Semitism
and anti-Israel sentiments.
Among the speakers was Father
Jorge Mejia, chairman of the de-
partment for ecumenism of the
Latin American Ecumenical Coun-
cil. Father Mejia's group is inter-
ested in furthering Judeo-Christian
dialogues and is studying revisions
in Christian religious texts where
anti-Jewish bias is found. He urged
patience and understanding on the
part of Christians and trust on the
part of Jews.
The seminar was told that anti-
Semitic incidents in Argentina
have declined sharply in the past
two years despite recent swastika
daubings on Jewish cemetery walls
and a fire, attributed by Jewish
organizations to terrorists, that de-
stroyed the $2,000,000 Israel pavil-
ion at the international trade fair
in Buenos Aires Sept. 24.
During the past year of Presi-
dent Juan Ongania's regime, only
a half dozen serious incidents have
been recorded compared to more
than 100 during the regime of his
predecessor, President Arturo Illia.
But, Dr. Segal noted, "under the
Illia administration there were a
few Jews holding government posi-
tions and now there do not seem
to be any."
Delegates from Chile reported
that Jews there are concerned
with an alleged increase of anti-
Israel commentary by the Marxist
press. Uruguayan Jews said they
were worried about political up-
heavals in their country because
"as a minority we are the first
to suffer whenever there is tur-
moil."
It was announced at another
press conference here Tuesday,
that Dr. Nahum Goldmann, presi-
dent of the World Jewish Congress,
and Abraham Shenkar, head of the
Jewish Agency's organization de-
partment, would be guest speakers
at the conference of Latin Ameri-
can Jewish Communities, which is
scheduled to open in Montevideo
Thursday. The conference was
originally to have taken place in
June 1967, but was postponed be-
cause of the Arab-Israeli war.

Meanwhile, 11 more Arabs were
detained in Hebron and one in East

tigation into terrorist tactics which
have led to planting of explosives
in major Israeli cities. Police an-
nounced the arrest of the last of
the four Arabs who took part in a
bombing of the Tel Aviv central
bus depot last month. Police said
that the 17-year-old Hebron high

blast, Addin Rashid Geit, told them
he had been employed as a sabo-
teur for 20 Jordanian dinars ($60)
a month plus 50 additional dinars

Israel to Export Citrus
Earlier Than Competitors
TEL AVIV (JTA) — Israel will
advance the opening of its citrus
export season by several weeks
this fall in order to get the fruit
to the European market ahead of
competitive shipments from Spain,
Gen. Mordechai Makleff, head of
the citrus marketing board, an-
nounced.
He said the first consignment of
grapefruit will be shipped to
Europe this week and will be fol-
lowed shortly by the first cargoes
of oranges. He said the advanced
shipping dates would enable Israel
to increase its citrus exports to
44,000,000 crates this year.
Gen. Makleff said that efforts
will be made this year to find
markets for refrigerated citrus
shipments in July and August.
He said that Israel faced market-
ing problems posed by the Euro-
pean Common Market. He said, for
example, Israeli citrus shipments
to France face competition from
Israeli citrus that reaches France
from Hamburg.

Association for Jewish Education
and is being disseminated through-

bureaus of Jewish education.
t i OUR FIRST
SALE!
The document, the first compre-
hensive statement of its kind, is
predicated on the concept that the
major function of communal sup-
port for Jewish education should
be the improvement and enrich-
ment of the quality of Jewisn
education through the upgrading,
intensification and extension of
educational standards and services.
Consequently, it urges that com-
munal funds should be devoted
increasingly to those educational
services of the central agency
which promote these objectives.
OCTOBER 14 TO 26
The statement vigorously asserts
the role of the Bureau of Jewish
Education as the only authority
through whom financial aid should
be distributed to beneficiary insti-
tutions. It calls on federations not
to circumvent central agencies and
to end cash grants to beneficiary
schools. Except in emergency
situations described in the policy
statement, financial aid must be
tied to the improvement of the
quality of education, and not be
