Polish Government Urged to Dissociate
Itself From Anti-Semitic Broadcasts
NEW YORK — The
American Jewish Commit-
tee urged the Polish gov-
ernment to dissociate itself
publicly from lengthy
anti-Semitic programs pre-
sented this last week on the
Warsaw TV and radio.
In a telegram to Polish
Ambassador, Romuard
Spasowski, AJCommittee
President Maynard Wish-
ner asserted that it was a
--natter of "gravest concern
1 these times of crisis" that
the Polish government
radio and TV should present
programs charging that
Jew and Free Masons had
misled the Polish people
and that persons of Jewish
origin had turned Solidarity
into an anti-national body.
In Vienna, Nazi-hunter
Simon Wiesenthal charged
that the Polish government
was distributing leaflets ac-
cusing Jewish professors of
trying to organize resis-
tance and stating that Sol-
idarity leaders have Jewish
backgrounds. Wiesenthal
said there has been a steady
stream of anti-Semitic leaf-
lets and cartoons for several
months.
On Sunday, Polish
government radio an-
nouncers read several
statements from the
anti-Semitic "Defense of
Poland" group accusing
Jews of buying up goods
_ from the Polish markets
to sned the collapse of
the country.

cast of an hour-long inter-
view with a 'Prof. Kossecki,
taped by Poles in Paris, also
included charges that
Jewish groups had man-
aged 'to take control of 80
percent of Polish industry
and to put Catholic Church
and liberal Communist
leaders on the wrong road,
according to AJC European
Representative Nives Fox,
reporting from the French
capital.
The Poles are being
punished .for their credulity
in having trusted people
who misled them, declared
Prof. Kossecki, identified on
the Warsaw radio and TV as
a political scientist. He al-
leged that this was done
through collaboration be-
tween former Communist
Party Secretary Edward
Gierek, now detained, and
the organization KOR.
KOR members, he insisted,
were former Stalinists,
often of Jewish origin, who
wanted the death of Po-
land."
Another Kossecki charge
aired by Warsaw and taped
in Paris was that the Jews
and Free • Masons were re-
sponsible for the Solidarity
movement's extreme wing.
He declared, too, that the
Masons of Poland had for
several years been in close
contact with a Masonic
Copernic Lodge in France.

Insofar as one can tell
from reports trickling out
from Poland to different
European lands, the
small Jewish community
of 6,000 in Poland has not
been affected in any spe-
cial way during the crisis,
nor, until last week's
radio and TV programs,
were Jews singled out,
according to the Ameri-
can Jewish Committee
office in Paris.

prior to the imposition of
martial law, the notoriously

Arab-Brazilian
Friends League
NEW YORK — The Par-
liamentary League for
Arab-Brazilian Friendship,
organized by the Palestine
Liberation Organization,
has been installed in
Brazil's Chamber of De-
puties as part of intensive
PLO efforts to strengthen
their position in the nation.
The installation, accord-
ing to Rabbi Morton M. Ro-
senthal, director of the
Latin American affairs de-
partment of the Anti-
Defamation League of Bnai
Brith, took place Dec. 2 in
the capital in Brasilia,
marking the "International
Day of Solidarity with the
Palestinian people."
Rabbi Rosenthal, who has
just returned from a visit to
Brazil, said that nearly 100
members of the Brazilian
Congress, from both the
government and opposition
parties, have joined the par-
liamentary league, which
plans to submit a draft reso-
lution to the Brazilian Con-
- gress formalizing the group
as a parliamentary bloc.
