A 1971 poll of attitudes towards minorities revealed that only 2.5 per cent of those questioned had adverse feeling about Jews. Yet, writes Owen Rachleff of the Jewish Digest, Austra- lia is the home of one of the only official Nazi parties in the world. The extreme right- wing League of Rights, its various sub-organizations and some "'lunatic fringe' groups also engage in anti- Semitic activities. The Nazi Party of Austra- lia, the National Socialist Party, has been active for the last five years under var- ious leaders. Its membership, which is kept secret, is esti- mated at roughly 1,500. The party's magazine, The Storm- trooper, is a crudely printed publication, filled with anti- Communist red-baiting and anti-Jewish material with many quotes from Adolf Hit- 'Course on Holocaust ler and other Nazi lumina- NEW YORK — The New ries.

There is evidence of unofficial affiliation between the two, and they exchange support financially. The League of Rights, known simply as "The League," is highly organized with sever al subsidiary branches, including Ladies in Line Against Communism and the Australian Heritage Society. The league is both anti-Semitic a n d violently anti-Communist- It frequent- ly points a finger at what it calls "the international Jew- ish-Zionist Socialist world conspiracy" as a source of the trouble it is allegedly fighting. According to observers in Australia, the league has about 2,000 active members with 50 to 100 branch offices.

Kosher t 0Ull l GENERAL FOODS PHILADELPHIA —A "Teach-In on Judaica" will be conducted at the Florida International University in Miami by the Joseph and Sally Handleman Communi- cations Center at Drops:e University. With a full week of 'academic events relating to every facet of Judaism scheduled, starting Jan. 14 through Jan. 18, the "Teach- In" provides an ambitious undertaking embracing the entire Jewish spectrum ever conducted on any college campus. Dr. Ricardo Arias, chair- man of the department of philosophy and religion at Florida International, the most recently - established university in that state, is the director of the "Teach- In" with a program designed to attract both Jewish and non-Jewish students. Dr. Abraham I. Kat-sh, president of Dropsie, and Dr. Solomon Zeitlin, distin- guished professor of post- biblical literature and insti- tutions at Dropsie, will be among the participants in the "Teach-In." Dr. Katsh's address on "The Will To Live" will deal with the Holocaust. Dr. Zeitlin will discuss "Wisdom in the Talmud," dealing with the beginnings of Judaism and the rise of Christianity. The Joseph and Sally Handleman Center was estab- lished by Dropsie for the study of communication of man's humanity as a result of a generous gift from Joseph Handleman of De- troit, and Miami. Dropsie is the only nontheological, non- sectarian institution of its kind in the United States completely dedicated to the study of Hebrew, Biblical and Middle East languages and cultures, and for higher Jewish education. A reception in honor of Dr. Katsh, president of Dropsie University, will be tendered by Mr. and Mrs. Sidney Poland at their Miami Beach home. Dr. Katsh, a world-renown- ed Judaica scholar, author and educator, introduced the first course in modern He- brew to be taught at an A merican university as di- rector of the institute of He- brew studies at New York University, a post he held until 1967 when he was elect- ed the third president of Dropsie. The author of over 300 scholarly articles and more than 20 major books includ- ing the currently popular "Scroll of Agony—The Chaim A. Kaplan Diary of the War- saw Ghetto," Dr. Katsh also arranged for the microfilm- ing of several thousand manuscripts and rare docu- ments of Judaica from the museums and libraries in the Soviet Union, Poland and Hungary. This was the first and only successful cultural undertaking dealing with 1-lebraica and Judaica by a Western scholar which until then had : , been unavailable to Western scholars.
