A campaign is being mounted through, regional meetings where the Copenhagen vote is being discussed by local chapters of the United Nations Association of the USA (UNA) and by various women's groups. The women's groups were not immediately identified. , At a recent- West Coast meeting a resolution was passed calling for the U.S. to reverse its vote, with restrictions; and express its solidarity with women around the world, the JTA was^told.

The Program of Action adopted at Copenhagen is currently in a UN Committee and may not reach a vote in the UN General Assembly until after the U.S. Presidential election. The Program of Action is not valid until it is adopted by the Assembly. Despite the many positive aspects of the Program, and its concern for developing valuable assistance programs for women interna: tionally, the U.S. .along with Canada, Australia and Israel, felt-compelled to vote against it in Copenhagen for its equation of Zionism with racism and its legitimization of the PLO. The Program calls for the eradication of the "evils" of Zionism, racism, imperialism, and neo-colonialism, and for economic assistance to Palestinian women inside and outside occupied territories in cooperation and consultation with the PLO. In a letter sent to President Carter, Secretary of State Edmund Muskie and Other officials, the president of the National Council of Jewish Women, Shirley Leviton, urged that the United States remain firm in its opposition to the Program of Action as,it was adopted in Copenhagen. She further urged that the U.S. take the offensive in demonstrating its continued commitment to the achieve-. „ment of universal women's rights as long as this is not done at the expense of the security of Israel or the interests of the U.S. Mrs. Leviton stated, "It is those' governments which are either indifferent to or oppress women in their own countries-that are responsi-. ble for distorting the Program of Action adopted at Copenhagen."

Dontzin,, granted . ADL- summary - judgement and dismissed the lawsuit filed by the U.S. Labor Party in April, 1979. The suit, following ADL's denunciation of the anti-Jewish philosophies and associations of the USLP and its leader, Lyndon LaRouche, charged the ADL with defamation, invasion of privacy and assault. The dismissal was reported by Seymour Reich, chairman of ADL's National Civil Rights Committee. He observed that Judge Dontzin agreed with ADL's position that USLP spokesmen were public figures whose posi- tions were openly disseminated. The court said that "by calling attention to themselves," LaRouche and his associates had "exposed themselves to challenge, and even to ridicule or denunciation." iv, Dontzin, in a 22-page opinion, said that ADL's characterization of the USLP as anti-Semitic constitutes "fair comment" in view of the group's "highly critical views about prominent Jewish figures, families and organizations such as ADL and B'nai B'rith." Taking note also of the USLP's Unking of Jews,and Jewish organizations. with Nazism, fascism, the international drugs trade "and a myriad of purported con- spiraciest" Dontzin concluded "the facts of this case reasonably give rise to an inference upon which the ADL can form an honest opinion that Uie plaintiffs (USLP) are anti-Semitic," In upholding continued ADL vigilance against anti- Semitism and other forms of ■ .bigotry, .the judge observed that 'iADL did no more than act in accordance-with its historic and organizational .purpose; that is,-to express its 'opinion and concerns when anti-Semitism appeared and to identify and confront it as such." In light of the Holocaust, as well as the history of anti- Semitism, according to the judge, "it was reasonable to point out what it (ADL) perceived to be anti-Semitic overtones" in USLP pro- mbuncements. ■ - In commenting on the decision, Reich said that ADL "will pursue what the court referred to as the League's 'historic and organizational purpose* of identifying * and confronting anti-Semitism, and it will continue to monitor the activities of the LaRouche groups and all other organizations which indulge in such activity."
