WASHINGTON (JTA) —
The long and extraordinary
career of Yugoslavia's
President Josip Broz Tito,
who died May 4 at the age of
87 in Ljubljana, is paral-
leled by his checkered rela-
tionship with Zionism and
Israel but he was never
known to harbor anti-
Semitism in a country
where anti-Semitism at
times was the most venom-
ous in history.
On the contrary, his re-
cord over 40 years reflects
support for Jewry and hos-
tility toward anti-
Semitism.
Jews are known to have
lived in what is now Yugos-
lavia for some 2,000 years

test to that — but they did
not reach the zenith in the
country's governmental,
military and professional
life or in popular acclaim
until Marshal Tito's partiz
sans took power with the
close of World War II.
Yugoslavia's Jewish
population totaled about
85,000 at the eve of World
War II. Almost the whole
community was destroyed
by 1941 in the Nazi inva-
sion. The Ustashis wan-
tonly killed thousands of
them.
Hunted by the Ustashis
and Nazis and scorned by
the monarchists, Jews
naturally were inclined
toward the partisans.
Many joined the partisan
forces and became

Anderson Backs
Embassy Move

NEW YORK (JTA) — In-
dependent Presidential
candidate John Anderson
(R-Ill.) told a gathering of
100 Jewish leaders Wed-
nesday that if elected
President he "would be pre-
pared to recognize
Jerusalem as the capital of
Israel and to move our em-
bassy to Jerusalem at the
conclusion of the peace-
making process."
Addressing the Confer-
ence of Presidents of Major
American Jewish Organ-
izations, Anderson was
sharply critical of the Car-
ter Administration's
Mideast policy, declaring
that "unlike the incumbent
Administration, I would not
fear to label Israel a friend
and ally."
