ADL Denounces
UN Meeting
on Israel-Africa
NEW YORK (JTA) — A
leading official of the
Anti-Defamation League of
Bnai Brith has denounced a
United Nations-sponsored
conference on the Racist-
Fascist Alliance between
South Africa and Israel" as
another of the UN's
"periodic exercises in
hypocrisy and disinforma-
tion directed at Israel."
Abraham Foxman, the
ADL's associate director,
noted in his denunciation
that the conclave in Vienna
was supported by the UN
Committee on Apartheid,
using UN facilities,
documentation and financ-
ing, even though "techni-
cally it was a conference of
Non-Governmental Organ-
izations accredited to the
UN."
He added that."two well-
known Soviet front groupS,"
the World Peace Council
and the Afro-Asian Solidar-
ity Organization, took lead-
ing roles in the July 11-13
conference.
. Asserting that "the
agenda and the outcome"
of the conclave "were a
foregone conclusion,"
Foxman declared that
"Israel was pilloried for
diplomatic, trade and
military ties with South
Africa" and that, in its
final declaration, the
conference declared its
purpose was to "analyze
relations between Israel
and South Africa and
consider necessary ac-
tion to ensure that the
authorities in Israel de-
sist forthwith in such col-
laboration."
Foxman added that the
delegates did not specify
what actions the conference
had in mind except to make
"a vague reference" to UN
machinery for dealing with
such issues.
"To appreciate the mag-
nitude of hypocrisy in-
volved, one should examine
Israeli-South African trade,
which amounts to a minis-
cule .4 percent of South Af-
rica's external trade," Fox-
man said. "Sizeably in-
volved in the remaining
99.6 percent of South Afri-
ca's trade are none other
than the Soviet bloc, Arab
states and black African na-
tions."

ROME — The centennial
, of the birth of Italian dic-
tator Benito Mussolini will
be marked in the town of
Predappio by the issue of a
cancellation stamp, the Ita-
lian Postal Ministry re-
ported.
The stamp, to be issued at
the end of July, will mark
the first time Mussolini's
name has appeared on a
postal document since he
fell from power in 1943.
Who, then, is the invinci-
ble man? He whom nothing
that is outside the sphere of
his moral purpose can dis-
may.
