Baltimore Legislator
Sponsors Drug Law
PARIS (JTA)—The French min-
ister of interior has pledged that
the government would use every
legal means at its disposal to find
and prosecute the persons responsi-
ble for an anti-Semitic whispering
campaign in the provincial city of
Orleans. The pledge was made by
Raymond Marcellin to Pierre Bloch,
president of the League Against
Anti-Semitism.
The campaign in Orleans was
aimed at Jewish merchants who
own scene of the city's most fash-
ionable shops. The rumors, spread
by word of mouth, alleged that
women entering the shops were
drugged and sold into white slav-
ery. The allegations had a serious
effect on business in Jewish-owned
shops, which according to latest
reports, has not yet fully returned
to normal. Jews and non-Jews alike
were shocked by the campaign
which was reminiscent of the blood
ritual libels against Jews in the
Middle Ages. Many prominent citi-
zens and professional trade organi-
zations have demanded police ac-
tion. The minister of interior told
M. Bloch that the French govern-
ment "will not accept an attempt
to break up French national unity
which is based on the respect for
the individual."

BONN (JTA)—Reports here said
Tusday that 30 to 50 European
mercenaries in the service of El
Fatah are now actively recruiting
West Germans into the Arab ter-
rorist organization.
The mercenaries are only train-
ing the recruits in Arab states, the
report said, but refuse to go into
real action against Israel. It was
learned that a majority of the mer-
cenaries formerly served in Biafra.

Eban Shocked at Hearing
of Mboya's Assassination
JERUSALEM (JTA) — Foreign
Minister Abba Eban expressed
shock at news of the assassination
of Tom Mboya of Kenya, an Afri-
can leader whom the Israeli diplo-
mat had met on his tour of three
East African nations last week.
"I only met - him a few days ago
and we travelled together for sev-
eral hours in the plane that took
us to Addis Ababa," Eban said
on learning that Mboya was
gunned down on a busy street in
Nairobi last weekend. The 38-year-
old victim was Minister of Eco-
nomic Planning and Development
in the Kenya government and was
regarded as one of the most mod-
ern and progressive of black Afri-
can leaders.
Eban described him as "a coura-
geous fighter for the liberation of
his country" who had "an enlight-
ened approach to social problems."
Mboya visited Israel several times
and was considered a pioneer of
friendship between Israel and the
African liberation movement. Eban
sent condolences to Mboya's fam-
ily. President Jomo Kenyatta and
the people of Kenya.
