Northwestern Will Not Act Against Anti-Semitic Author

NEW YORK (JTA) — A
spokesman for North-
western University at
Evanston, Illinois, said
last Friday that "no ac-
tion is contemplated at
this point," against Ar-
thur R. Butz, a professor
at the university who is
the author of a book as-
serting that the Nazi
slaughter of Jews is a
hoax and a Zionist myth.
Asked if action against
Butz will be taken in the
future, the spokesman,
Jack O'Dowd, said that no
such move in likely unless
Butz violated the rules of
the American Associa-
+'-‘n of University Profes-
,s under which the
iiiversity operates.
O'Dowd said the book,
titled "The Fabrication of
a Hoax," did not consti-
tute a violation of these
rules.
O'Dowd noted, however,
that a statement condemn-
ing the book was issued
Thursday by Provost
Raymond W. Mack on be-
half of the university.
"It is a right available
to any citizen of the Un-
ited States under the
First Amendment," Mack
stated, to have his writ-
ing published, but, he said
"it is a shame when that
right is used to insult
survivors of concentra-
tion camps."

Butz, an associate pro-
fessor or electrical en-
gineering, published his
book last May in Great
Britain. The book is not
on sale in the United
States.
The uproar concerning
the book started two
weeks ago when the uni-
versity's student news-
paper reported on the
book after learning about
it from an article in the
Jerusalem Post.
Butz claimed in his
book that Zionist leaders
invented the Holocaust to
obtain support for a
Jewish homeland in
Palestine.
Butz also contended in
his book that there was no
German policy of Jewish
extermination and that
millions of Jews were not
deliberately slain in Nazi
concentration camps.
Following publication
of the report in the stu-
dent paper, the Daily
Northwestern, petitions
denouncing the book and
its author were signed by
many faculty members
and students.
Meanwhile, Bernard
Backer, president of the
Workmen's Circle, urged
HEW Secretary Joseph
Califano and Defense
Secretary Harold Brown
to investigate whether
any federal funds chan-
neled to Northwestern

University for research
purposes were utilized by
Butz.
If any federal funds
were used by Butz "while
writing or researching
his scurillous manus-
cript, it would be a viola-
tion of the Civil Rights
Law of 1964 which clearly
forbids the use of federal
funds to hold up any
minority to ridicule or de-
preceiation," Baker said.
Backer told a luncheon
honoring him at a Work-
man's Circle division of
