THE NEW VIOLENCE follow¬ ed an incident last week when machine gun bullets were spray¬ ed  against  a synagogue  here.

He pointed ' out that this was only the latest explosion in a campaign that had existed for years.
db. Goldenberg said that
the anti-Semitism could riot be considered ended by the warning issued by Dr. Carlos Adrogue, minister of tho interior. He said that during the recent attacks, Argentine Jewry had stood firm and united, the latter however, more from Instinct than from organization  alignment.
He warned that anti-Semitism was being used by "Machiavellian forces" to destroy the entire foun¬ dation of Argentine society in a plan in which the dcstvucVion o{ Argiitinc Jewry was not the ul¬ timate end but only the means. He added that Latin American loaders must understand that Nazi aggression was just as dan¬ gerous as Communist aggression and that it was a tragic error to believe that Communism can be fought  with  Nazism.

Denial Of Currency Explained By Israel
BY JOSHUA H. JUSTMAN (Copyright,   1982,   JTA,   Inc.)
JEniUSALEM — Her name la Vita. When she came, five months ago, to Kibbutz "Kfar MEisaryk," near Acco, they nick¬ named her "Jovlta" — "Joy of Life."
Six months ago, Jovlta was still living with her Protes.tant par¬ ents in the Swiss city of Basle. It was a quiet comfortable life; but — as she now recounts — a life In which she found little satisfac¬ tion.
"I found no peace," saya gold¬ en-haired Jovlta with an ever- present smile twinkling In her blue eyes. "The city lite with its pursuit of material goals, the ego¬ tism of the people around, the loneliness of the individual — all that gave me a growing feel¬ ing of restlessness and the urge to go out and look for something new."
ASTER FINISHING high school, Jovlta found work in a bank. It waa the Swiss-Israel Trade Bank.
The office hours were long and dull; and she coUld " find little inspiration in the typlng-out of checks, promissory notes or let¬ ters of credit.
However — while thinking of quitting -- she heard Israeli of¬ ficials talk about Kibbutzim. It evoked her curiosity; she wanted to know more about them, and the Israelis were glad to tell her.
One  day Jovlta  took  the  deci¬ sion: she would go to Israel and see  for  herself. I
AT Fn.«T, it was a "cautious"
decision. She would go pnSy for three months. Armed with a let¬ ter of introduction, she set out on the journey.
"These were five months of work full of human content" — Jovlta says, adding that she had decided to extend her stay for another five months. "Ajid who knows? Maybe I'll stay for good."
Judging by her performance and by her boundless enthusiasm, the members ot Kfar Massaryk seem  to  have  Uttle  doubt  that

WASHINGTON (JTA I — A spokesman fo'r the Israel Emhas- sy here explained why the Gov¬ ernment of Israel could not agree to the request of the U.S. Govern¬ ment, to make available a total of $500,000 of American-held Is¬ rael currency, accruing from the sale to Israel of American surplus foods, to be used by the U.S. for resale to American tourists going tp Israel.
The spokesman stated that a basic reason for Israel's inability to concede thia request was that Israel's foreign exchange control regulations provide that all ex¬ change transactions with private Individuals must he handled through   commercial   banks.
"HOWEVER," the spokesman stated, "the Government ot Israel was fully understanding of the spirit and motivation of the U.S. request, and mot this request through   certain  modifications  of
Lazarus Is Named To OSU Board
Hoberl Lazarus Sr., ohairman of the board of F. & R. Lazarus & Co., has been named by Gov¬ ernor DiSalle to the board of trustees of Ohio State University.

its agreement with the U.S. Gov¬ ernment. These modifications, in effect, enable the U.S. to finance certain activities in U.S.-held cur¬ rency and not in dollars, with consequent easement of the U.S. dollar outflow.
"Thus, these modifications would alleviate the position more than the request to make avail¬ able Israel currency to the value of $800,000 for sale to American tourists.''
The spokesman gave the fol¬ lowing examples of these modifi¬ cations which were introduced into the 1962 agreement between the U.S. and Israel. In the first place, the previous agreement had made it possible for the U.S. to use Its Israel-held currency to pay only for transportation and travel expenses for those U.S. of¬ ficials who travel to Israel under the Agricultural Trade Develop¬ ment and Assistance Act.
"ISRAIJL   HAS   NOW   agreed that such funds can be used with¬ out   restriction   to  finance   travel and    transportation   expenses   of {contlnutd on pag* 4)
