CENTRAL TELEPHONE NUMBER 851-5300 Prompt intercession by the Anti-Defamation Lea g u e's Capitol Hill representative, David Brody, helped nip what might have developed into an ugly situation with anti-Semitic overtones in- volving U.S. Attorney Gen- eral Richard Kleindienst. According to newsmen covering the Capitol, Klein- dienst was telling them that the Watergate trial was no whitewash because Assistant U.S. Attorney Earl J. Sil- bert, the 36-year-old prose- cutor in the case, and his two assistants were not politically intimate with the White House. "You ,take this fellow Sil- bert," Kleindienst told re- porters. "I don't know his political affiliation but I guess he's a Democrat, con- sidering his age and the fact he's Jewish." Rep. Lester D. Wolff (D. N.Y.) reacted with a strong letter to Kleindienst observ- ing that this remark is an example of the "kind of com- ment that fans the flames of bigotry and prejudice." Wolff circulated his letter to other Jewish members of Con- gress. Upon getting the letter . in which Wolff called - for a pub- lic apology, Kleindienst con- tacted Brody with whom he has cordial relations and asked for his help in solving the situation. Brody quickly arranged .a meeting between Wolff and Kleindienst for the next day. After an hour's session, Wolff reported he was no longer upset or con- cerned. "The Attorney General was very gracious," Wolff said. "He explained the situation in a way that sounded very. plausible. The impression he made to me today was a good one. He spoke with sin- cerity. He said that the mis- interpretation of this remark was one of the worst things that had happened to him. And he didn't say some of his best friends are Jewish." Two of the Jewish mem- bers of Congress receiving Wolff's letter are New York Republicans. Senator Jacob K. Javits, dean of the Jew- ish members, said: "It's just one of those things you don't know how to resolve. It was very ill-advised. We'll just have to take up that score and keep it in our heads." Freshman Rep. Benjamin Gilman said: "Religion is no indication of party prefer- ence." Use of `J' on Tax Bills Angers Montreal Jews MONTREAL (JTA) — The use of the letter J on tax bills sent to Jewish taxpay- ers by the Montreal Urban Council has revived bitter memories among Jews of Cote-St. Luc, a 95 per cent Jewish-populated suburb of Montreal. They say it smacks of the J many of them were forced to wear while inmates of Nazi concentration camps. The J began to appear on tax bills after a new law that went into effect in Jan- uary abolished the old sys- tem of separate tax lists for Jews, Catholics and Protes- tants. The assessment bills of Catholics and Protestants are marked C and P in the "religious code" box. But the Jews are more sensitive "because they have been persecuted in my own time, not hundreds of years ago," Mrs. Celine Polak, spokesman for a group of irate Jewish taxpayers, said at a meeting of the Cote-St. Luc City Council last week. Mrs. Polak, who was born in Amsterdam and was forced to wear the J during the Nazi occupation, asked why the MUC needs to know a taxpayer's religion. Mrs. Polak's 25-member delegation met with Mayor Samuel Moskovitch of Cote- St. Luc. He said the council would send a protest resolu- tion to the MUC with copies of the 27 other member municipalities, Premier Rob- ert Bourassa and federal authorities. At a health gym they try to make mountains out of molehills.
