a greater response from
Jewish communities to the
threat implied by the UN
vote.
Eight World Zionist

campaign against the reso-
lution. They included the
Labor Zionist movement,
the World Confederation of
United Zionists, the Mizra-
chi-Hapoel Hamizrachi
World Union; Herut, Ma-
pam, the Independent Lib-
erals and WIZO.
Other protests were ex-
pressed by 60 American
Catholic and Protestant
leaders at a meeting in
Memphis, by the Massachu-
setts Senate, New York
City's five borough presi-
dents, 28 American black
scholars, the American Civil
Liberties Union, and other
groups.

ing similar steps. In Paris,
Jewish organizations have
called for a protest meet-
ing Monday.

agencies, including Russia's
TASS and the East German
ADN, praised the anti-Zion-
ist resolution.

more than 2,000 people held

the government to change
its vote, and the Latin

ernments on the issue, but
with little result.
In New York, Mrs. Faye
Schenk, president of the
American Zionist Federa-

tion campaign to bring "the
facts about Zionism to the
American public."

the possible spread of anti-
Semitism throughout the
world.

travel to countries that sup-
ported the UN resolution.

were quick to protest the
resolution, but at the same
time some chided Israel's in-
formation services in Lon-
don for doing a poor job of
combatting "slick" Arab
propaganda.
The Detroit Round Ta-
ble of the National Confer-
ence of Christians and
Jews called.on people of all
faiths and races to oppose
the anti-Semitism ex-
pressed in the United Na-
tions resolution.
President Alfred A. May
of the Round Table, and
Charles C. Benham, who
attended the Detroit Zionist
Federation press co-ference
Tuesday called the resolu-
tion's accusation a defama-
tion of Jewish people and all
peoples everywhere and la-
belled it an obscene expres-
sion of anti-Semitism.
"Hope for peace, security
and justice for both Arabs
and Israelis can only be re-
tarded by the raising of an-
ti-Semitism," they stated.
"No one — Christian, Jew
or Moslem — can be silent
when the legitimate strug-
gle against racism is de-
based in this manner.

a state legislative body.

nouncing the bigotry and
hatred displayed by the UN

of this resolution."

tism, the oldest form of rac-
ism."
