Baghdad, Iraq, as the site of
the Eighth World Congress
of the International Asso-
ciation of Art.
Among the American art-
ists who have signed the
statement are Willem de
Kooning, Robert Mother-
well, Robert Gwathmey.
Chaim Gross, Robert Indi-
ana, Raphael Soyer, Avitzl
Oz, Doris Zaslaysky, and
Jack Levine.
Their protest was re-
leased last week as the con-
ference ended by the Ameri-
can Jewish Congress, which
circulated the statement
among leading figures in
the American art world.
The statement said that "by
meeting in Baghdad the
IAA has in effect closed its
eyes to Iraq's long history of

THE GOLD PLACE

is y•ur most consistent source for

brutal racist atrocities, of
execution without trial and
of victimization of its ethnic
and religious minorities."
There are an estimated
500 Jews in Iraq, all that
remain of a population of
some 200,000 that emi-
grated from Baghdad and
other cities following the
establishment of Israel in
1948. On Jan. 27, 1969,
eight Jews and Christians
were hanged in a public
square in Baghdad as
spies for Israel.
Meanwhile, growing
American resistance to
Arab boycott demands and
fear of possible federal leg-
islation banning this coun-
try's participation in the
boycott against Israel is
forcing the Arabs to revise
their boycott rules, the An-
ti-Defamation League of
Bnai Brith said.
Lawrence Peirez, chair-
man of the agency's na-
tional civil rights commit-
tee, cited the following
changes in the Arabs' boy-
cott procedure:
• Corporations whose
products and know-how are

needed by the Arabs, but
which have refused to sever
ties with Israel completely,
will be permitted to do busi-
ness with both — provided
they do twice as much busi-
ness with the Arabs than
with Israel.
• In contracts between
the American government
and the Saudi Arabian gov-
ernment (but not in private
contracts), Jewish personnel
in the servicing companies
will be granted entry visas
— in return, the Arabs say,
for U.S. assurances that it
will not seek legislation
against the Arab boycott of
American firms doing busi-
ness with Israel.
The American Jewish
Committee has announced
publication of a 24-page
booklet designed to warn
American companies
doing business in the Mid-
dle East of dangers they
face if they comply with
the Arab boycott.
The booklet, "If You Do
Business in the Middle East
. . . Rem-ember Certain
Practices Are Illegal," sum-
marizes a wide range of

Federal and state laws, reg-
ulations and administrative
practices affecting corpora-
tions that comply with the
boycott.
The booklet lists several
levels on which the Arab
boycott operates, including
a direct boycott of Israeli-
made goods and services; a
boycott of companies that
invest in, or do business in
or with Israel; and a boycott
aimed at companies that do
business with companies
that do business with Israel,
and at companies with Jews
on their boards or in execu-
tive posts.
The booklet is available
from the AJCommittee, 16
East 56 St., New York
10022.

PHILADELPHIA — Edi-
tors of American newspa-
pers, columnists and news
analysts in the American
press were urged, in a reso-
lution adopted here last
weekend at the annual con-
vention of the American
Jewish Press Association to
prevent intrusion of distor-
tions from coloring the news
about Israel and the Middle
East.
It was charged that Arab
and Russian propaganda
resembled the vilest forms
of anti-Semitism in the
form in which untruths
have been permitted to color
the news as part of the or-
ganized drive aimed at the
destruction of Israel.
The convention heard a
report from a group of
journalists on a tour of
Russia which charged that
the Jewish newspapers
were subjected to indigni-
ties, their tapes erased and
files destroyed. These ac-
tions were strongly con-
demned in an AJPA con-
vention resolution.
Robert Cohn, editor of the
St. Louis (Mo.) Jewish
Light, was re-elected presi-
dent.
Frank Wundahl, editor of

Budget Cuts Hurt
Habima Theater

TEL AVIV (JTA) — Ha-
bima, Israel's national thea-
ter, is in severe financial
straits and will be forced to
retrench beginning in July.
The internationally prom-
inent troupe will dismiss 30
administrative employes
and stage hands and will
close down a small theater it
has maintained for years.
Seven actors were let go ear-
lier this year reducing the
performing company to 45
permanent and contract art-
ists.

the Philadelphia Jewish
Exponent, who was elected
one of the AJPA vice presi-
dents, geared the hospital-
ity towards the American
Bicentennial theme. The
delegates attended many
functions that emphasized
the Bicentennial and partic-
ipated in a tour of Jewish
points of interest in Phila-
delphia.
