WASHINGTON (JTA) — Rep.
Joshua E i 1 b e r g, Pennsylvania
Democrat, has . advised the Argen-
tine ambassador here of his "grave
concern" over increasing anti-
Semitic terrorism in Argentina.
In what Eilberg called "a frank
exchange of views" with Ambas-
sador Pedro Real, the congressman
said he was especially worried by
the "apparent reluctance" of Ar-
gentine authorities to take effec-
tive action against perpetrators of
violence against the Jewish com-
munity in that country.
Eilberg said. Real deplored anti-
Semitism but claimed the acts in
question were not unique but part
of a larger problem of urban guer-
rilla agitation against the govern-
ment and foreign institutions.
"The record shows," Eilberg
d'emurred, "that certain anti-
Semitic groups were attacking
Jewish institutions before the
recent increase in terrorist ac-
tivity in Argentina, and if the
past is any guide to the future,
these attacks will continue even
if the general problem of urban
terrorism is checked."
The Philadelphia legislator gave
Real a 13-page study documenting
his charges. He added his concern
over reported favoritism toward
anti-Semitic groups by the govern-
ment because of blood ties or con-
nections with governmental, mili-
tary and church leaders.
Eilberg, a member of the sub-
committee on immigration and na-
tionality, visited South America
last November and found that Ar-
gentine anti-Semitism not only
existed but sometimes manifested
itself "in a most virulent form."
He and Real agreed to discuss the
matter further.
Of Argentina's estimated popu-
lation of 24.3 million, approximate-
ly 500,000 are Jews giving that
country by far the highest total
of Jews in South America and the
third-highest total in North, South
and Central America and the West
Indies.

The ADL contends that it is

The HEW grant was made
