28 Congressmesr-Took Contributions
From Ultra-Right, Article Charges
WASHINGTON (JTA)—The
magazine True lists the names of
28 U.S. congressmen who, it al-
leges, accepted campaign contri-
butions from the Liberty Lobby,
an extreme right-wing organiza-
tion headed by an admirer of
Adolf Hitler.
The list is contained in an ar-
ticle in the November issue of
the magazine by Joseph Trento
and Joseph Spear. It includes the
names of two senators and 26 rep-
resentatives. 24 Republicans and
four Democrats.
Next to each name, the list
states the amount of the contri
bution, ranging from S1.000 to
$3,000 for a total of S38,500.
According to the writers, the
Liberty Lobby, founded and headed
by Willis Carto, distributed a
grand total of $90,000 to congres-
sional candidates last year and
in addition furnished research and
speeches for a dozen members of
Congress including the entire
South Carolina delegation.
It is the contention of the
writers that the Liberty Lobby
now has 250,000 members all
over the U.S. However, most of
them, prosperous conservative
businessmen and professionals,
believe they are supporting
conservative or right-wing causes
and are _unaware that Carta is
a Nazi who eventually hopes to
establish •an "American reich."
Carto, who has been exposed on
several occasions by the late Drew
Pearson and Robert Anderson.
nationally syndicated columnists,
has blamed "international Jewry"
for the world's troubles and has
claimed that defeat of Hitler was
a defeat for Europe and America.
According to the True article,
Carta uses the Liberty Lobby and
its affiliates as a front for a neo-
Nazi cult whose members flaunt
swastikas, sing Nazi songs and
quote Nazi slogans. The article
says he has detailed plans to over-
throw the U.S. Government and
seize power for which purpose he
tries to cultivate members of Con-
gress.
(In a letter to the Liberty Lobby.
Oak Park resident Phillip N.
Fisher charged that the organiza-
tion's publications represent the
Jewish people and the state of
Israel as "pro-Communist and
"anti-American."
"If Israel (which is supported
by the 'International Zionist Con-
spiracy') is as pro-Communist and
anti-American as you make it out
to he. why is Russia giving the
Arab countries such great mili-
tary, political. economic, and dip-
lomatic support in their efforts
to destroy Israel?" Fisher wrote.
Why has there never been na-
tional anti-American demonstra-
tions and riots in Israel as there
have been in Egypt. Syria. Jor-
and and Saudi Arabia?
"It is true that the Communist
party is legal in Israel. (It 'en-
joys' the support of less than
1 per cent of Israel's total popu-
lation). It is also true that the
Communist party is not. legal in
most Arab countries. In most
Arab countries there is only one
legal political party—the ruling
party (whatever it happens to
be at the time).
Aeslupanian Pharmaceutical Association and its Ladies Auxiliary
are planning support of numerous causes from funds to be derived
from the annual charity dinner dance to be held at Raleigh House
Nov. 5, with a cocktail hour at 6:30 p.m. to precede the dinner.
The respective presidents of the two groups, Charles Tennen and
Mrs. Meyer Goldstein, announce that allocations are being made for
indigents from a special "Aesculapian Prescription Fund" and to the
Red Magen David for Israel. Scholarships are being supported by the
Aesculapians at Wayne State University School of Pharmacy as well
as the Hebrew University School of Pharmacy in Israel.
•Local causes assisted by the Aesculapians include Hawthorn Center,
Northville State Hospital, Akiva Day School, Yeshiva Beth Yehuda,
USO, Children's Leukemia Foundation and other causes.
Plans for the Nov. 5 event are formulated by a committee consis-
ting of (from left in photo), seated, Mrs. Meyer Goldstein and Mrs.
Sam Kaplan; standing, Michael Wainer, Charles Tennen, Mrs. Asher
Smith and Aaron Karp.
Wainer, Mrs. Smith nd Mrs. Morris Gural are in charge of special
fund raising.
Reservations are being taken by Mrs. Kaplan, UN 4 - 0183, and Mrs.
Karp, 759-2871, or PR 1-0780.
Severe Measures Foreseen to Cope
With Dip in Foreign Currency Reserves
JERUSALEM (JTA) Severe
measures by the government to
combat Israel's foreign currency
crisis were predicted here follow-
ing disclosure that the country's
foreign currency reserves dropped
last month to $510,000,000, which
many economists consider to be
the danger point.
David Horowitz, governor of the
Bank of Israel. said on a television
interview Oct. 14 that Israel will
seek $90,000,000 in "soft loans"
from .the International Monetary
Fund as a first measure, but added
that drastic steps must be taken to
curb runaway private consumption.
A "soft loan" is a loan at less than
commercial rates over a longer
period.
Horowitz said that private con-
sumption in Israel has gotten
"completely out of hand" in com-
parison with other countries but
did not specify the measures that
might be taken to curb it. Israeli
newspapers predicted that the gov-
ernment would sharply increase
the sales tax and taxes on travel
abroad.
These measures would affect
mainly foreign-made goods and
would reduce the amount of cur-
rency in circulation.
Anticipation of government meas-
ures to curb private spending has
already set off a wave of buying.
mainly of hard goods such as tele-
vision sets and cars.
The real purchasing power of
Israeli families has increased 21
per cent over the last five years,
according to figures released by
the Central Bureau of Statistics.
The average urban family in
Israel spends $260 per month in
the marketplace, apart from
taxes and savings, the bureau
reported.
According to the statistics, the
sums spent by Israelis vary with
the ethnic origin of those who im-
migrated here in the last 15 years
but not those who arrived prior to
1954.
Among the more recent immi-
grants. families from Western
countries were found to spend 15
per cent more than the national
average while those from Asia and
Africa spent only 59 per cent of the
average. Native-born Israelis spend
21 per cent above the average.

Fisher continued: "I object to
your hatchet-job on prominent
Israeli leaders (such as calling
Moshe Davan a warlord)! I take
exception to your faulty logic that
Israel would ever need American
manpower to help achieve mili-
tary victory over its Arab adver-
saries. I consider it an insult to
my intelligence. but I can see
where your tactics might appeal
to the less informed and the
bigoted!
"I must confess that there is
one thing I do not understand.
How would the United States bene-
fit if the state. of Israel were to
suffer total annihilation and its citi-
zens total extermination (as the
Arab world threatens)? How can
any but a Communist or Arab na-
tion benefit?"
