`Watchful Vigilance' Marks Mood in Chile, Uruguay and Argentina . NEW YORK—The volatile troduced by the leftist gov- of foreign imperialism and political situation in parts of ernment during the past three reactionaries." Latin America has aroused fears of anti-Semitism among Jews living in Chile, Urugay, and Argentina, and the gen- eral mood is one of watchful vigilance. A report by the American Jewish Committee's South American office received at national headquarters here tls that "the current r us political tension and s the economic deterioration in Chile have damaged the Jew- ish community." Some Jews have left the country for Brazil, Ecuador and Costa Rica. However, the approxi- mately 28,000 Jews who re- main in Chile are still "very active and hard-working, seeking to maintain commu- nity programs in spite of re- duced membership and in- come." Economics rather than pol- itics is the cause of the Jew- ish decline in Chile, the re- port indicates. adding that "the socialized economy in- years affected the Jewish population unfavorably since they were for the most part engaged in industry and commerce." Although neither the Al- lende 'government nor many Chileans a r e anti-Semitic, according to the report, the Arab League that set up its Latin American headquarters in Santiago in 1972 is a con- stant source of anti-Semitic propaganda. New Left groups hostile to Israel and a coali- tion of rightist groups op- posed to President Allende are also busy fomenting anti- Semitism. In Uruguay, the report state s, the approximately 50,000 Jews, long free from tension or discrimination, have begun to feel threat- ened. Pressures similar to those in Chile are respon- sible, with both the New Left and radical right g r o u p s propagandizing against Israel and attacking Jews as "allies Argentina's half million Jews are awaiting with mixed emotions the return of Juan Peron to power. They have observed that rightist anti-Semites have become bolder recently, and this has caused misgivings. However, they do not believe Peron to be anti-Semitic, and the Ar- gentine government still maintains cordial relations with Israel. The report continues: "Al- though the Argentine people is not racist minded nor dis- criminatory, the Jewish corn- munity is aware of some latent anti-Semitism that can be expected to make itself evi- dent in certain circum- stances." As in Chile, the report states, the Jewish community continues to carry on its edu- cational, cultural and relig- ious life, but these too have been adversely affected by mounting inflation and a marked shortage of rabbis and -religious teachers. Under-30 Crowd Digs 'Superstar', Will It Make Them Anti-Semites? By DAVID FRIEDMAN JTA Staff Writer (Copyright 1973 JTA. Inc.) like most present-day film makers was aiming at the under-30 audience. This group will see "Super- star" mainly as an anti- establishment film — the establishment being organ- ized religion (Jewish, Catho- lic, Protestant) and govern- ment. It is doubtful that they will become anti-Semites as a result of seeing the film. The protest against the film by Jewish organizations will probably contribute a few more viewers — Jewish and non-Jewish — to the film. These organizations, having now made their point, should concentrate on their more constructive efforts of improving Christian - Jewish relations and encouraging churches and church schools to refute the deicide charge. NEW YORK — The film version of the rock opera "Jesus Christ Superstar" opened in New York City this month, preceded by the condemnation of major Jew- ish organizations which charged it was anti-Semitic 'in the fashion of traditional passion plays such as at Oberammergau. New York film critics seemed divided. The New York Post liked it, but Howard Thompson in the New York Times found that "Superstar" didn't work. Kathleen Caroll in the Daily News found the film "surprisingly satisfactory" as entertainment but cautioned her readers not to expect anything more.

"We have an aim of full employment and this coincides with our aim of a steady expansion of the state's economy," he said. Speaking about his plans for full employment within the framework of the eco- nomic plan for the next four years, Sapir noted that full employment is the most im- portant factor in raising the standard of living of back- ward classes and that this would contribute to narrow- ing the economic gap. labor force would grow to 1,270,000 workers compared to 1,120,000 workers now.
