Christ Film
Called Thieat
in S. America

NEW YORK (JTA)—Rabbi
Mar c H. Tanenbaum, na-
tional interreligious affairs
director of the American
Jewish Committee, urged
Universal Pictures, which
has produced the film, "Jesus
Christ—Superstar," to give
"the deepest consideration to
the possible implications" of
making the film available in
Spanish, Portuguese a n d
Italian languages to Latin
America and Italy in view of
recent anti-Semitic episodes
in those areas.
The AJCommittee official
also expressed regret that
the head of 'Universal Pic-
tures "made a decision not
to meet with a representative
delegation of lay and pro-
fessional leaders of the
American Jewish Committee"
to discuss some of the con-
cerns arising out of the film's
presentation of the Jewish
people, Judaism and Israel.
Rabbi Tanenbaum made
these points in a letter to IL
H. Martin, president of Uni-
versal Pictures.
The letter was sent to Mar-
tin after Lew Wasserman,
president of the Music Corpo-
ration of America, which is
the parent company of Uni-
versal Pictures, declined to
meet with Elmer L. Winter,
AJC president.
Rabbi Tanenbaum noted
that as a result of a series of
recent studies that the AJC
has prepared an Arab prop-
aganda, "we are persuaded
that certain Arab govern-
ments, which have been ex-
ploiting Christian themes of
anti-Semitism, may well find
this film an important sup-
plement to their anti-Jewish
a n d anti-Israel propangda
campaign . . "
