Spotlight Shifts From Nixon

too, whose support he has
assiduously cultivated at lit
tie dinners in his home,
must be treasured. One Of
Nixon's last acts before
boarding his jet for Moscow
was a long-distance call to
the summer retreat of an
elder statesman among the
Washington correspondents
with a fiattering request for
last-minute advice.
For the Vice President has
long known that the one
luxury he cannot afford is
to be associated with the
smell of failure. The lethal
slogan, He can't win," al
ready is dangling over his
head.
These aspects of Nixon, so
interesting to watch. appar-
emily are very clear to an
other, adroit politician, So
Wet Premier Khrushchev.
At a Moscow press con-
ference prior to departing
for a Crimean holiday to
prepare for his American
journey, Khrushchev was
developing the theme that
face-to-face contacts help
everybody. Almost offhand-
edly he added that Nixon
formerly couldn't even pro-
nounce coexistence, but now
he can say it in Russian.
Khrushchev did not give it
the air of a taunt; it was
just his observation and was
so recorded by reporters
present.

winner, formally opened the
21st International Congress of
Physiological Sciences yester-

The congress, held for the
first time in Latin America,

Houssay, who welcomed the

for medicine in 1947 for his
research in diabetes.
About 5000 scientists from
the United States, Russia. the
European and Latin American
countries, and India and Japan,

DAVID LAWRENCE
Anti-Semitism's Missing Link

ing Of a Jewish temple in At
lanta followed the pattern of
similar incidents in Miami,
Jacksonville and other parts
of the South. Yet. as pointed
out then, it is conceded wide
ly that there is less anti
Semitism in the South than
in any other part Of the
United States.
On December IS, 1858, ref
erence was made in these dis
patches to a statement made
by then Senator-elect Ken
meth B. Heating Of New York
after a tour Of the South. He
said there was a strong
suspicion" that the bombing
of schools, homes and places
Of worship in the South
might have been fomented
by Communists.
Then on January 26, 1859,
this correspondent called at
tention to a series of five ar
ticleS published by the New
York Daily News. They were
written by one OF its staff re-
porters. David Burk. In them
he told the results of several
months of investigation into
1.-The men and the groups
tailored into the network of
hate and violence" in this
country. He said there was
"a mass of evidence of direct
liaison between agents of the
United Arab Republic and
leaders Of the American race
groups held responsible by
United States authorities for
the Atlanta bombing"
1t seems strange, also. that
there is a big organization of
Negroes in the United States,
claiming to be "Moslems,"
which is fighting the National
Association for the Advance
ment of Colored People and
is preaching anti-Semitism
and anti-Americanism as its
creed. Time magazine in its
August 10 issue says:
The 'Moslems' are of ris-
ing concern to respectable
Negro civic leaders, to the
National Association for the
Advancement of Colored
People. the police depart
ments in half a dozen cities
and to the FBI."
Where are all these anti
American organizations get
ting their money? This is a
question that has not yet
been answered.

Without doubt Vice Presi-

ports to the Nation of his
Russian-Polish journey.
From now on the spotlight

the power to act, as Nixon
has not, and he has finally
seized the initiative.
The Vice President must be
pleased to have it so. Having
wrung great advantage from
his travels. he is free to pom

what may be a brave new
world but could mean only
fresh establishment, or even
the opening of another Pan

anyhow. For even apart from
the fact that Senator Kenne-
dy appears presently to be
front-runner among the
Democrats generally. Sena-
tor Humphrey has just been
hit a hard blow in his own
Midwest bailiwick.
A neighboring Senator
from Wisconsin itself. Will
liam Proxmire, has done a
most unneighborly act. He
has released a Wisconsin poll
which, he says, gave Senator
Kennedy 42.5 per cent of the
Democratic vote against a
mere 17.3 for Senator Hum
phrey. Close examination of
the Proxmire figures makes
things look far less bad for
Senator Humphrey than on
the surface. For Adlai E.
Stevenson-who has no in
tention Of getting into the
Wisconsin action and prob
ably no intention to contest
openly anywhere for the
nomination-got 29.5 per
cent in the Proxmire poll.
Though Senator Humphrey
is vastly more liberal than
Mr.. Stevenson, it is generally
accepted that many of the
poll votes that went to Mr..
Stevenson would have gone
to Senator Humphrey had
those participating known
for sure that Mr.. Stevenson
would never be in the Wis
conSin picture. Thus, as a
practical matter Senator
Humphrey can be said to
have done considerably bet
ter than the unpleasant
surface figure of 17.3 would
suggest.
All the same, the Proxmire
data have badly shaken the
Humphrey candidacy. HUI

To what extent Is Com
munist money back of the
racist and hate literature
being so widely spread
throughout the world? Are
the bombings Of synagogues
in the southern part of this
country in some way related
to an international conspir-
acy? If so, have not the
people of the South been I'M
justly stigmatized and blamed
for something with which
they have had nothing to do?
1t is a Communist objective,
of course, to foment discord
and internal friction within
all free countries.
The latest and most sig
nificant piece of information
on the subject of hate litera-
ture has just come out in a
formal report filed at the
plenary assembly of the World
Jewish Congress held in
Stockholm, Sweden, only a
week ago. 1t says in part:
There is evidence that
anti Semitic organizations,
institutions or individual ad-
venturers in this field, have
established interlocking inter-
national relationships in
order to facilitate the dis
semination of racist material
on an international scale.
THUS Australia has been
regularly supplied with ma
terial of the vileSt kind ex-
ported from the United States
and the United Kingdom,
while, from Australia itself,
anti-Semitic literature has
turned up in Turkey in guam
titles sufficiently significant
to alarm the Jewish commu-
nifty.
From Sweden there has
come a ceaseless stream of
anti-Semitic material osten-
sibly produced and distrib-
uted by a single individual,
which has turned up in Ger
many, South Africa and va
rious Latin American states,
all areas carefully chosen be-
cause, for historical reasons,
this material might make an
impact.
This by no means exhauSts
the story of the international
effort to revive anti-Semi-
tism; we have cited only a

Humphreys whole strategy is

his home region of the upper

"These governments have

In another statement placed
before the Stockholm meeting
by its director of interna-
tional affairs, DR.. M. L. PERL
zweig of New York, reference
is made to the attitude of the
Soviet Union toward Jews
from that country who were
invited to attend the world
Jewish conference.
The Moscow government
maintained that acceptance
of the invitations was entire
ly up to Soviet Jews. How
ever, although the invitations
were sent to Jewish religious
communities, their reply was
that since the assembly would
be dealing with political
matters" it would not be
proper for them to attend.
The Stockholm report adds:
"DiSquieting reports are
reaching us regarding the
position of Jewish religious
life in the Soviet Union. We
hear that synagogues are
being closed, particularly
the synagogue in Czernovitz.
Many Jewish tourists are
welcomed to the Soviet Union,
but among those who were
refused visas were a number
of rabbis. All this is relevant
to the answer we received
from the Soviet Union"

This Is just what happens.
North cannot afford to bid five
