WASHINGTON (JTA) —-
The House International
Relations Committee Aug. 31
adopted stiff provisions
against the Arab economic
boycott that went beyond the
measure approved .by the .
Senate Aug. 27." The vote was
■ 27-1.      '   '   '
The House committee's
amendment" to the Export
Administration Act provides
that no American business
can comply with the Arab
boycott against Israel and in
addition grants an American
company the private right of
action in; federal courts to '
collect trial damages from a
violator of the legislation.*
This measure attacks the
secondary boycott of Israel
practiced by Arab countries
which demand from Amer¬
ican companies-that to do do
business with them they
must not only refuse to do
business with Israel but with
any American company that
does trade with Israel.
The Senate version forbids
a company from refusing to
do business with another
American company that
deals with Israel but does not
prohibit that company from
' itself refusing to deal with
Israeli,
The House may take up the
committee's provisions this
week. If adopted, a House-
Senate conference com¬
mittee would have to iron out
the differences and return
the measure to both Houses
for adoption.
The Administration had
opposed the Senate provision
sponsored by Sens. Adlai
Stevenson (D. 111.) and J.
Harrison Williams (D. N.J,).
At the markup session in
the House committee, an
extraordinary development
was that Arthur Day, Deputy
Assistant Secretary-of State
for Near East and South
Asian Affairs, was' allowed
to .testify -against the .ping-.
ham-Rosenthal proposal. He
said it would hinder Amer¬
ican diplomatic efforts in the
Mideast and be seen as a
weakening of American ties
to Arab lands. He indicated
that Saudi Arabia would be-
especially bitter abput it.

BUENOS AIRES (JTA) -
A new group calling itself the
Argentine National Socialist
Front has circulated a letter
in Buenos Aires claiming re¬
sponsibility for the bombings
Aug. 27 of two Buenos Aires
synagogues and a drugstore.
The letter, which pro¬
claimed t an all-out war
against a "Jewish-Bolshevik
plutocracy," and \Vhich
blamed Argentina's
600^000-member Jewish com¬
munity for the country's
growing economic problems,
was denounced by an Argen¬
tine government spokesman
as the work of "an unimpor¬
tant minority." The spokes¬
man also Was quoted as
saving the hew group was
"trying to create fear and a
fictitious state of instability
to frighten away foreign ,
investment."
The letter, signed FNSA,
the group's initials in
Spanish, said the bombings
of the Jewish institutions
marked the opening .Of a
campaign of "diverse puni¬
tive operations against-
important elements of inter¬
national Judaism." The
letter also said the group
was thus identifying "those

WASHINGTON,
(JTA)—Morris B. Abram,
former U. S. representative
to the UN Human Rights
Commission, has charged
that restrictive and
inflexible American
immigration policies sealed
the fate of European Jews
exterminated by the Nazis in
World Wai: II. He urged that
the President be- given
discretion to vary
"immigration policies for the
victims of genocide to, avoid
a similar disaster in the
future.
Testifying before the
House Foreign . Policy
Research and Development
Subcommittee, Abram, a
New York attorney who is
honorary president' of the
American Jewish
Committee, also urged
Congress to ratify the UN
,'Genocide Convention, to
maintain "absolutely firm
and unmistakeable
commitments to the security
of Israel," and to adopt
legislation ' aimed at
preventing discrimination
against American citizens
and firms resulting from the
Arab boycott.
Abr,am urged that the U. S.
maintain'^  a    flexible
immigration   policy   with
yrespect,„fo>. victims   of,.
genocide and an "unyielding
position against genocide on
behalf of human rights." He
charged that almost no
voices were raised against
the" murder by Indonesia of
^ one-half to three-quarter"
million of its citizens after
the overthrow of President
Sukarno.
Likewise, he pointed out
that UN bodies were "very
quiet" when the Ibos were
being slaughtered during the
- Nigerian rebellion a few
years back. .
Turning to U. S.' failure to -
help European Jews survive,
Abram charged that the
State Department had
reliable information on
Hitler's plans to exterminate
. all Jews as early aS 1942.
However, he added, both
the ~ U. S, and Britain
rejected   requests   for'
- cooperation in rescue efforts
during the war and
immigration officials here so'
, administered the law that
few Jewish refugees from
Germany were permitted
entry into this country.
Tracing the rise of the
Nazis to power in Germany
and Europe, Abram
declared that there were
many opportunities' "to
chain  this criminal  state
(CONTINUEOOU PAfiE,Ul
who are principally respon¬
sible for the Argentine dis¬
aster and national disinte¬
gration" and thdt its "war"
would end only with "the ex¬
termination of the Jewish?
Bolshevik-plutocracy."
The government spokes-'
man also said Aug! ,31 that a
decision could be expected'
within the next two weeks on
demands for a government
ban on distribution of bound'
reprints of Hitler's speeches
distributed by Editorial Mili-
cia, a publishing house
which also has issued re¬
prints of the notorious Proto¬
cols of the Elders of Zion.
The complaints were made
by the Argentine Catholic
Church through Criterio, its
monthly magazine, and'by
the DAIA, the. central
representative agency of
Argentine Jewry.
The government spokes¬
man was quoted as saying
"we agree that something
must be done to avoid this
type of publication that tries
to divide the people and,
create conflict."
- A liberal? Buenos'' Afres"
paper, L'Opinion, which pub¬
lished the FNSA letter, was
also the .target of an at¬
tempted bombing Aug. 27,
according to its Jewish pub¬
lisher, Jacobo Timerman.
He said in an article in
L'Opinion that his life had
now, been threatened by both
the extreme right and left.
Meanwhjle the DAIA re¬
ported Aug. 31 that its office
in Cordoba had protested to
authorities against the
bombing of the Sephardic
Club building in Cordoba.
The blast caused heavy
damage to the building. No
casualties were reported.
The DAIA, also providing
details on the bombings51 of
the   two   synagogues   in
Buenos Aires, said the ex-
pldsiyes were placed outside
the jvlurillo Street Temple
and the Sephardic Com¬
munity Center on Cama-
gargo Street.
The blasts caused damage
to the main gates of the syna¬
gogues and to the masonry
and broke all the windows in.'
the two synagogues. One
blast tore a hole more than a
yard wide in a wall of the
Murillo Street synagogue.
Police were investigating
the bombings.
The DAIA said in its pro¬
test* that the bombings
demo strated criminal
intentions of elements seek-
. ing to terrorize the Jewish
community. The DAIA pro¬
test was made before the cir-
