Passions Cool on Mexican's Statement
NEW YORK — Passions
in Mexico's Jewish commu-
nity, roused by a vicious
anti-Semitic diatribe in the
nation's Chamber of De-
puties, have been quieted by
the condemnation and re-
pudiation of the statement
by government authorities,
according to the Anti-
Defamation League of Bnai
Brith.
The ADL quoted Mexican
Jewish leaders as being
satisfied that the "outrage-
ous anti-Semitic speech" by
Miguel Olea Enriquez, the
deputy from Chihuahua, is
"an isolated example of
bigotry and does not repre-
sent the views of the gov-
ernment or the Partido Re-
volucionaria Institucional
(PRI), his political party."
The anti-Semitic remarks
by Olea Enriquez were
made in the midst of a gen-
eral debate in the chamber
Dec. 1 on stiffer penalties
for violators of currency
control measures. While the
deputies denounced the
widespread violations by
many industrialists, Olea
Enriquez singled out Jews
as "experts in such mat-
ters."
Torenberg,
Julio
president of Tribuna Is-
raelita, the Jewish com-
munity's human rela-
tions agency, told ADL
that the Jewish commu-
nity was pleased that all
the members of the PRI
majority in the chamber
joined Leopoldo Enrique
Soto • Izquierdo, the
party's secretary, in a
statement of repudiation.
The statement, he noted,
emphasized that
Enriquez' remarks were
"racist and contrary to
Mexican law and tradi-
tion."

NEW -YORK — Jack D.
Weiler has accepted the in-

Hitchhike Ban
TEL AVIV — Women
soldiers in the Israeli army
have been banned from
hitchhiking outside estab-
lished pick-up points be-
cause of recent sexual at-
tacks on women soldiers.
Mauricio
Lulka,
president of the Bnai Brith
Human Relations Commis-
sion in Mexico, reported
that in a meeting with
Jewish leaders, Manuel
Bartlett Diaz, secretary of
Gobernacion, and senior
minister in the president's
cabinet, had communicated
the disavowal of anti-
Semitism by President .
Miguel de la Madrid and his
assurance that the Jewish
community has nothing to
worry about.
In summing up the mat-
ter, Messrs. Torenberg and
Lulka said that their organ-
izations and the Comae
Central Israelita, the
Jewish community's central
communal agency, would
like to put a lid on the mat-
ter because Mexico's execu-
tive and legislative officials
"have clearly demonstrated
the traditional Mexican re-
spect for minority and
human rights."
Last week, officials of the
Simon Wiesenthal Center
at Yeshiva University in
Los Angeles met with Mexi-
can Ambassador De Los
Reyes and urged that De La
Madrid repudiate
Enriquez's statement. They
were told that the Mexican
president would soon meet
with representatives of
Mexico's Jewish commu-
nity.
The American Jewish
Committee sent De Los
Reyes a telegram protesting
the statement by Olea
Enriquez.

YOU RARELY SEE USED SAABS
FOR SALE BECAUSE 'THERE'S
RARELYA REASON TO SELL THEM.
The longer Saab owners hold on to their cars, the more they like them.
But that's no surprise when you consider what there is about a Saab to like.
For superb performance, Saabs are equipped with a fuel,-injected engine

When it comes to cargo space, Saabs have as much room as a station
wagon— up to 56.5 cubic feet.
And as far as sty ting goes, Saabs have no sharp angular corners, so
there's nu cause for air turbule ► ice. Even its rear end is stiaped to give it effi-
cient air
b:eak may.
So if you now find yourself interested in a Saab, come test drive a new one.
You might not be able to get your hands on a used one.

the first anniversary of his

Mr. Rubinstein had re-
quested that his ashes be
spread over the forest, but
Israel's chief rabbis ruled
that would mean the public
park would have to come
under religious laws gov-
erning cemeteries. A com-
promise was reached for a
small photo.
