THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS AJCongress Accuses Mobil Oil Co. of 'Sabotaging' Boycott Legislation HOUSTON (JTA)—Mobil Oil Corp. was accused by the American Jewish Con- gress of "sabotaging at shareholders' expense the broad national consensus that supports effective anti- boycott legislation." The charge was made by E. Stanley Topek. a mem- ber of the AJCongress, in presenting a resolution at Mobil's annual meeting in th - Houston Civic Center g on the company to report to shareholders its re- sponse to Arab boycott de- mands. The resolution was defeated. In his statement, TO-pek said that Mobil, which has been running ads in various newspapers, had .spent hundreds of thousands of dollars—perhaps millions— in company funds to attack anti-boycott legislation. By its conduct, Mobil has fur- thered the Arab boycott and revealed itself to be outside the mainstream of public and business support for ef- fective anti-boycott legisla- tion." The AJCongress resolu- tion presented by Topek was introduced in the name of six company stock- holders who are members of the organization. At the stockholders' meet- ing, Rawleigh Warner, Jr.. Mobil chairman, said that the company still held the idea of buying an East Coast newspaper. It recent- ly investigated purchase of the defunct Long Island Press. but declined to buy it.

In New York, President Carter's statement endors- ing an agreement on-arfiend- ments to the Senate anti- boycott bill between the Business Roundtable and three national Jewish organ- izations was hailed by the Jewish groups as under- scoring a "broad national Consensus in support of ef- fective anti-boycott legisla- tion.", In a related development, Michigan Congressman Wil- liam Brodhead voiced his support of anti-boycott legis- lation at a recent session of Congress. Brodhead stated: "This title will prohibit American citizens and companies from intentionally and kno- wingly complying with sec- ondary or tertiary boycotts. Existing policy and current law have been totally in- effective in combating the Arab boycott of Israel. "Since 1965, when the U.S. anti-boycott went into effect, Arab pressure on American business to com- ply with the boycott has steadily increased.
