Archie Shandling, outgo- ing chairman of the South African Jewish Board of Deputies in Cape" Town, said he did not intend to be an alarmist in voicing that view. He observed, how- ever, "Many South Africans are concerned about the sluggishness of the gov- ernment's attempts at re- form and would like to see more done to allay their fears." Shandling," 58, a lawyer, is widely respected in the Jewish community. Many who disagreed with his prognostication neverthe- less shared his concern. Frank Bradlow, national vice president of the Jewish Board of Deputies and a noted historian, said he was disturbed by the situation but added: "I don't believe the Jews will leave in any greater numbers than any other section of the community. However, I do agree that South Afri- cans should take note of the growing signs of fas- cism." Shandling, who said he has no intention of leaving the country, said, "The question for us, as always, is . . . how long? My own pri- vate feeling is that there will not be a Jew left in South Africa by the year 2000. I am driven to this conclusion because of the increasing growth of the right wing in this country. "Jews have always been a target for this sort of thing. The strength of these people cannot be ignored especially in times of political uncer- tainty." He urged the government to look to the future care- fully and to be wary of creat- ing an irreversible situa- tion. been making headlines, especially abroad. The group, led by Eugene Terreblanche, maintains that only whites should be citizens of South Af- rica and that the Jews, British, Indians and Chinese must not be allowed to get political power. Its members dress in Nazi-type uniforms and display Nazi emblems. Their main immediate target are prominent indus- trialists and financiers in this country who, the group claims, are working "hand in hand with the interna- tional money power."

The splinter group is said to be the recipient of secret backing from Syria. The group, which has taken the name Abu Nidal, is believed to be responsible for several terrorist actions including the assassination of Heinz Nittel, a Vienna city councilor and chairman of the Austro-Israel Society. Authorities believe that the group has targeted Au- strian Chancellor Bruno Kreisky for assassination. They feel that Kreisky's closeness to mainstream Palestinians has put him on the Abu Nidal hit-list.
