Anti-Semitic Source Traced In Argentina
WASHINGTON (JTA)—The anti-Semitic Tacuara organi¬ zation in Argentina is singled out as responsible for the anti- Jewish terrorist acts there, in a report received by the State Department from the United States embassy in Buenos Aires, it was learned here.
Based on this report, Teodoro Moscoso, U.S. Coordinator for the Alliance for Progress, informed Representative Seymor Haipern,   New  York  Republican
ISRAELI CABINET REJECTS APPEAL FOR ENTRANCE VISA FOR CONVICTED AGENT
that the Argentine Government told the U.S. embassy tn Buenos Aires that "strong measures" would be taken to curb anti- Semitic terrorism. The U.S. em¬ bassy has also advised that "the Argentine people- seem horrified by  the  Incidents,"  Moscoso   said.
The U.S. embassy said in its report to the State Department that "it would appear that the Argentine authorities are aware of the incidents and have decided to take strong measures to cope with the perpetrators."
The embassy described assur¬ ances by the Presidency tn Ar¬ gentina in which the executive power   repudiated   anti-Semitism.
JERUSALEM (JTA)—Israel's Cabinet voted unanimously to recommend that the Interior Ministry reject an application by Dr.. Robert A. Soblen, the psy¬ chiatrist convicted of espionage on behalf of the Soviet Union In the United States, for a visa which would have permitted him to enter Israel under the Law of Return.
The issue was brought before the Cabinet by Minister of the Interior Moshe Haim Shapiro. An application for an Immigrant visa under tho I^aw ot Return had been filed by the convicted doctor's Israeli attorney, Arleh Ankorlon. The Cabinet held that the Law of Return does not ap¬ ply to a man with a record like Dr.  Soblen's.
Ankorlon Is expected now to take the matter to the Israel Su¬ preme Court. He will seek either an order instructing the Govern¬ ment to show cause why it should not permit Dr. Soblen's entry, pr he will request a High Court writ to enable Dr. Soblen to enter Is¬ rael  provisionally.
At the same time, the Cabinet set up a Ministerial committee to inquire into the circumstances surrounding Dr. Soblen's expul¬ sion from this country, atter he had come here on a false pass¬ port. Among the topics to be probed are tho fact that an I American Government agent was
on hand at Lydda Airport when Dr. Soblen was put on an El Al Airlines plane and expelled from the country. Another point for probing is the fact that both Sha^ piro and Prime Minister David Ben-Gurion had stated publicly that they did not know an Ameri¬ can Government agent was in¬ volved in the expulsion.
Shapiro emphasized that the American agent's presence dur¬ ing the expulsion made the act, in fact, an extradition, although there Is no extradition treaty between Israel and the United States. Critics of the Government, on this issue, have-made the same claim.
"This feeling," the embassy re¬ port said, "is shared by the Mini¬ ster of the Interior who is re¬ sponsible for all the police forces in Argentina."
With regard to the Tacuara or¬ ganization, Moscoso said that "in¬ formation available regarding this group Indictes that it is probably composed of some young, highly nationallstlo Ar¬ gentinians who seem to have se¬ lected anti-Semitism as an ex¬ pression of their personal and social dissatisfaction." He assur¬ ed Rep. Haipern that he would keep him informed of the mea¬ sures which the Argentine au¬ thorities wiil take to stamp out anti-Semitic  incidents.

Feldman Is Liason Between JFK And Jewish Community
BY Mn/rON FRIEDMAN (Copyright,   1992,   JTA,   InC)
WASHINGTQf; — President Kennedy has asked Myer "Mike" Feldman, one ot the most import¬ ant personages of Jewish faith on the presidential staff and an original member of the Presi¬ dent's personal brain trust, to handle liaison between the White House and the American Jewish community.
Mr. Feldman's function at the White House is different and on a much higher level than the roles played by David K. Nilea, who served President Truman, and Maxwell Rahb, who handled Jewish Affairs for President BJl- senhower.
As "Deputy special counsel to the President," responsible for vital communications with Coin- gress and Federal agencies, Mr. Feldman works personally with Mr. Kennedy each day. He will perform the new assignment in addition to his other duties. Thus, Mr. Feldman's status in the White House is far broader than the Nlles or Rabb capacities.
IN HIS BOOK, "The Making Of The President," Theodore H. White listed Mr. Feldman with Ted Sorenson and Richard Good¬ win as the trio constituting Mr. Kennedy's personal brain trust, as distinct from his academic brain trust (Schlesinger, Gal- braith, Bundy, Rostow), or his political brain trust (O'Donnell, O'Brien,   Donahue,    Duncan).
Mr. Feldman wtis seen bejiind the scenes In "The Making Of The President" as an "Impressive man, a one-time instructor of law at the University of Pennsylvania, later a highly-successful business¬ man, who had abandoned business to follow Kennedy's star as chief of the Senator's legislative re¬ search."
IN 1968, he joined the Kennedy Senate staff aa legislative assist¬ ant. He handled correspondence dealing with legislation, helped draft bills, conferred on the sen ator's program, and assisted with speeches and public statements. After Mr. Kennedy was nominat¬ ed for the presidency, Mr. Feld¬ man was appointed director of research  for  the  Kennedy-John¬
son  campaign.
As campaign research director, Mr. Feldman prepared material that helped Mr. Kennedy achieve the crucial television det>ate tri¬ umph over Richard M. Nixson. Mr. Feldman's perceptive and rapid anticipation of events, his Insight and knowledge, caused the President to add steadily to his White House duties. Mr. Ken¬ nedy indicated abundant appre¬ ciation through the extent of re¬ liance  on  him   in  many  areas.
TODAY, Mr. Feldman's White House desk is covered with ur¬ gent leglalative matters, issues of tariff and trade, oil questions, dealings with regulatory agencies, the Commerce Department, the Post Office, and so forth. Then, there is the drafting of proclama¬ tions, executive orders,' and the many   presidential   committees.
The President, since the tnau- gura.tion, turned Increasingly to Mr. Feldman—and sometimes to former Secretary of Labor Arthur Goldberg—for guidance on issues affecting Jews and Israel.
THE   PBESIDENTS    decision
to place primary responsibility for Jewish liaison on Mr. Feld¬ man, on top of other responsi¬ bilities, suggests the President la paying more attention to this concern. He obviously wants a trusted information source at his side in the White House.
Mr. Kennedy is aware that among American advocates of a fair Near Eastern policy are many ot his most fervent sup¬ porters. He knows that many lead¬ ing Jews have backed him to give thrust to American progress. But he has also become aware in recent months of apprehension manifested after the State De¬ partment embarked anew on a risky wooing of Nasser's  Egypt.
There was dismay that the American delegation to the United Nations co-sponsored a resolu¬ tion condemning Israel unilateral¬ ly for fighting back against Syri¬ an aggression. Also, despite the President's campaign pledge to taloe inlltiatlve for Ara|b-Israei peace, the United States opposed a U.N. move tn that direction. Had these actions been Isolated, the     explanations     might     have
found acceptance. But they came against a background of the President's personal emissary, Chester Bowles, reporting to the White House that a new Neisser was dedicated to peaceful pro¬ gress and should receive massive American aid  and loans.
THB SAME Nasser, meanwhile, purchased 21 missile-firing Soviet MIG jet fighters, Imported East German Communist jet pilots, and boasted that he was preparing to Supporters of Israel were no more convinced ot a new Nasser than the White House accepts an image of  a  new  Nixon.
In the Administration's favor, it may be in tho situation describ¬ ed by Maimonldes, dispensing a higher degree of charity—the an¬ onymous variety. The White House cannot seek credit for var¬ ious pro-Israel or pro-Jewish act¬ ions. Publication ot any Arab con¬ cession would provoke fanatical Arab attacks on the Arab leader or nation  ameliorating hostility.
THERE IS evidence that Mr. Kennedy feels the reins on Near Bast   policy-making   slipped   too
far from the White House, pre¬ occupied as it was with Berlin, Latin America, Southeast Asia, and other crisis situations. State Department career officers, sen¬ sing a vacuum, began asserting a one-sided, pro-Arah line at Is¬ rael's   expense.
This may account for the Pres¬ ident's designation of one of hia most trusted lieutenants to main¬ tain a daily watch. Good-natured Mike Feldman, now officially the White House's "Watchman of la¬ rael," is aware "the watchman of Israel doth not sleep and doth not slumber."
Mr. Feldman Is mindful of human rights and America's ob¬ ligation to promote justice. An orphan from the age of three, Mr. Feldman has developed a com¬ passionate warmth balnaced by a quality of objective detachment- unique equipment for a man with hia  obligations.
If self-righteous zealots seek to denounce this or that Ad¬ ministration '^betrayal" when they confront Mr. Feldman at an Is-
