Philip Guarino and Brentar,
a team of Washington Post in-
vestigative aces — including
Bob Woodward of "Water-
gate" fame — uncovered
memos suggesting that
Frederic V. Malek, a top
Republican National Com-
mittee official and a promi-
nent member of the Bush
team, had cooperated with
Nixon administration efforts
to reduce the "Jewish cabal"
at the Bureau of Labor
Statistics.
At the time Malek was per-
sonnel chief in the Nixon
White House. After last
week's charges, Malek denied
any anti-Semitic activities,
but resigned his GOP post.
Following the resignation,
Bush said he would consider
giving Malek a job in his ad-
ministration. "I don't think
there is one bigoted bone in
his body," Bush said of Malek.
The vice president also com-
plained about the resignation
of his other campaign work-
ers accused of anti-semitism,
saying, "We are going
through an interesting period
here where people are accus-
ing a lot of people without
hard evidence.
Two other allegations link-
ing Bush's campaign with
anti-Semitism also have
unsettled the GOP. One was
a report in The Nation
magazine that Bush had
spoken in August to two
groups "which have been
home to fierce anti-Semites"
— the Captive Nations Com-
mittee and the American
Friends of the Anti-Bolshevik
Bloc of Nations.
The other allegation stems
from the purported anti-
Semitism of South Carolina
Gov. Carroll Campbell, now a
Bush regional chairman. Ac-
cording to Samuel Tenen-
baum, a Jewish activist in
Columbia, S.C., the charges
involve a 1978 campaign in
which Campbell ran for a con-
gressional seat against Max
Heller, the mayor of Green-
ville.
"In part," according to the
Almanac ofAmerican Politics,
Campbell won his campaign
"by stressing that his oppo-
nent . . . , a one-time refugee
from Nazi Austria, was
Jewish and did believe in
Jesus as his savior."
During the campaign, the
Campbell forces circulated a
public opinion survey that in-
cluded two questions about
Heller's identity as a Jew.
One question that particular-
ly rankled Jewish groups in
the state asked which word or
phrase best described both
Heller and Campbell. The
choices included "Honest," "A
Christian man," "concern for
the people," "a hard worker,"

"experienced in government,"
and "Jewish."
Late in the campaign, a
third candidate who jumped
into the race said Heller was
not fit to hold office since he
was not a Christian.
Over the years, the issue
has periodically flared up.
There have been recurring
charges that the Campbell
forces had a hand in bringing
the third candidate into the
race, a charge which Camp-
bell has vigorously denied.
"But the fact remains that
they did ask these questions
in their survey," said Tenen-
baum. "You have to realize,
this district contains Bob
Jones University," he added,
alluding to the conservative
and heavily fundamentalist
character of the district.
Tenenbaum also insisted
that Campbell made allu-
sions to dual-loyalty ques-
tions during the campaign.
"Tb me," he said, "this
represents political anti-
Semitism. Nobody is saying
these people were anti-
Semitic. But they used
political anti-Semitism to
achieve their ends. They have
no moral compass, and they
have no place in national life:'
Representatives of the Bush
team disagree. Gordie Zacks,
who heads the GOP effort to
win Jewish votes in
November, insisted that
Thnenbaum's charges were an
old story — and that Ibnen-
baum's attempts to link the
scandal to top Bush aide Lee
Atwater were based entirely
on conversations that could
not be substantiated.
Zacks also pointed out that
Tenenbaum is a major fund-
raiser for Democratic causes
in South Carolina.
Other participants in the
decade-old events — including
Max Heller himself — declin-
ed to talk about the affair.
Still, the Campbell affair is
one more piece of bad news for
Jewish GOP campaigners
who had hoped seriously to
undercut the dominance of
the Democratic party in the
Jewish community.
"The South Carolina
episode, and the involvement
of Gov. Campbell, should lead
us to question the sen-
sitivities of the Vice Presi-
dent on issues of concern to
the Jewish community," said
Rep. Ben Cardin (D-M.D.).
"The fact that these all con-
tinue to resurface 10 years
after the incident should give
us reason to worry, especial-
ly in light of the fact that the
vice president recently ap-
pointed three people who
have been shown to have ties
to anti-Semitic and fascist
groups."
