David Duke: Capitalized on many factors.

Jews Urged To Battle
Duke-Like Candidates

JAMES D. BESSER

Washington Correspondent

W

hen David Duke
began his uphill
race against Sen. J.
Bennett Johnston, a Loui-
siana Democrat, Jewish
groups decided to lay low in
order to avoid creating a
backlash in Mr. Duke's
favor.
But last week's election
results — with the former
Ku Klux Klan leader winn-
ing some 44 percent of the
vote, and more than 60 per-
cent of the white vote —
suggest the need for a diff-
erent kind of strategy, ac-
cording to a leading Jewish
political scientist.
"For the Jewish commun-
ity, this vote was a very
chilling message," said
Allan Lichtman, a professor
of history at American Uni-
versity and an expert in po-
litical prognostication.
"Duke is scapegoating in the
same way that the Nazis
scapegoated. All the
statistics tell us that the
poor are getting poorer, the
rich are getting richer; the
fact that his message, aimed
at the wrong target, is
resonating so well in Loui-
siana is a very disturbing
sign."

Mr. Lichtman argued that
it is now time for Jewish
groups to take a more active

role against extremist can-
didates like Mr. Duke.
"There was the danger
that raising Jewish voices
would add to the backlash,"
he said. "But the backlash is
already here; now it is time
to speak out clearly about
this kind of candidate, who
represents fascism with a
friendlier face."
Some observers suggested
that Mr. Duke's strong
showing will put special
pressure on Jewish Repub-
licans, who have been strug-
gling to carve out a bigger
place for themselves in the
GOP.
This argument was re-
jected by Ben Waldman, ex-
ecutive director of the Na-
tional Jewish Coalition.
"I think these results were
more of a statement about
Louisiana politics, which are
unpredictable anyway," Mr.
Waldman said. "And Ben-
nett Johnston was not a par-
ticularly strong incumbent."

But a leader in the broad
coalition that opposed Mr.
Duke in Louisiana dis-
agreed.
"To be sure, we have been
more tolerant of eccentric
politics here," said
Lawrence Powell, vice-chair
of the Louisiana Coalition
Against Racism and Nazism.
"But I think that to dismiss
what happened here as
merely a Louisiana aberra-
tion would be to misread the
