Bias in Argentina Is Debated
NEW YORK (JTA) —
Anti-Semitism is not a
"major problem" in Argen-
tina today and that coun-
try's 300,000 Jews are feel--
ing more secure now than in
recent years, according to
Gerard Daniel, president of
the World Union for Pro-
gressive Judaism (WUPJ)
who has just returned from
a two-week visit to Argen-
tina, Brazil and Chile.
"Jews in Argentina are
not going around scared,"
Daniel told a press contkr-
ence held at the Essex
House in NKEW York. He
said that in Argentina and
the two other countries he
visited he met with Jewish
leaders, government. offi-
cials and various members
of the Jewish community.
He said that the Jewish
leaders in Argentina con-
tended that the situation in
that country is "con-
tinuously improving for the
Jews." The Jewish leader-
ship in Argentina, Daniel
said is "greatly encouraged"
by progress made in the
field of human rights over
the last two years.
Daniel said, however,
that "anti-Semitism is a
latent problem in Argen-
tina." He said that the
Jewish leadership "is
still somewhat concerned
over the ability and the
willingness of the Argen-
tinian authorities to
carry out their avowed
policy of renouncing
anti-Semitism."

out any charges brought
against him, that anti-
Semitism is widespread in
Argentina,. Daniel replied:
"The Jewish leadership in
Argentina on various levels
is very clearly questioning
the reliability of Timer-
man's report. They are also
disturbed by the timing and
the sensation that Timer-
man's book caused in the
United States and said that
it has not been helpful for
the Jewish community in
Argentina at a time when
there is a great improve-
ment for the Jews there."
He was referring to the
book, "Prisoner Without A
Name, Cell Without A
Number."
As for the Jewish com-
munities in Chile and
Brazil, Daniel said that
they "enjoy a comfortable
degree of security, and Jews
are not leaving those coun-
tries."
Daniel also reported
the formation of a South
American Federation of
Jewish Liberal Congre-
gations, to be affiliated
with the WUPJ.
In Geneva, the British
delegate to the United Na-
tions Committee on Human
Rights, which is meeting
here, denounced the gov-
ernment of Argentina as
anti-Semitic and said that
the arrest of Timerman was
an example of official anti-
Semitism.
He stated that for those
who remember what hap-
pened to Jews during the
Third Reich, the current
events in Argentina were
alarming. The Argentine
delegate replied that there
was no anti-Semitism in his
country and that the arrest
of Timerman was in no way
connected with his being
Jewish.
Timerman, in his book,
documented the growth of
Nazism and anti-Semitism
in Argentine prisons and in
the country as a whole, and
the massive violations of
human rights which cut
across religious and ethnic
lines.
Timerman was impris-
oned, tortured and held
in jail for several years
