Jews In Chile, Brazil
Affected By Adverse
Economic Conditions
NEW YORK (JTA) - Adverse economic conditions in
South America are beginning to affect members of
the Jewish community
there, particularly in Chile
and Brazil, according to reports presented to the Board
of Directors of the World
Council of Synagogues, the.
international arm of Conservative Judaism.
Discussing the situation in
Chile, Rabbi Angel Kreiman,
the grand rabbi of Chile's
30,000-member Jewish community, said that the economic situation in the country
"has never been so bad before.- The country suffers
from a 30 percent unemployment rate which finds some
families in our synagogues
without jobs and in need of
food, clothing and other living assistance."
Kreiman, who has been in
Chile for the past 15 years,
said that the sisterhoods of
the three Conservative congregations were working
closely with these families to
. assure that they were provided with every need. He
said there were at least 60
families in Chile on the
poverty level requiring
assistance.   - - *
First Jew Elected
To Brazil's Academy Of Literature
RIO DE JANEIRO (JTA)—Arnaldo Niskier, an author and
former Rio de Janeiro government official, has been elected
a member of Brazil's Academy of Literature. He is the first
Jew in the history of the Academy to have attained this
honor. The vote to accept him was unanimous.
Permanent Wallenberg Memorial Called For
BUDAPEST (JTA)—A delegation of the Los Angeles-based
Simon Wiesenthal's mission of remembrance and renewal
met here with Deputy Premier Istvan Sarlos and urged that
the government of Hungary establish a permanent memorial
on Raoul Wallenberg Street which is situated in the heart of
the area where the Swedish diplomat sheltered tens of thousands of Jews in "safe houses" durng the last months of
World War II. Rabbi Marvin Hier, Wiesenthal Center dean
and head of the delegation, said that as a result of Wallenberg's action, hundreds of thousands of people owe him a
debt of gratitude. The placing of a memorial will provide
these people with a place to light a candle or to place a bouquet of flowers.
Arens Denies Israel Supplying
Iran With Arms, Spare Parts
WASHINGTON (JTA) -
Israeli Defense Minister
Moshe Arens flatly denied
last week that Israel has
been supplying Iran with
arms or with spare parts for
the weapons that country
received from the United
States under the Shah.
Arens, answering questions from reporters at a
press conference, also
denied that there are any
flights between Israel and
Teheran carrying weapons
to Iran directly or through a
third country. He repeated
the denial when asked the
same question in Hebrew by
Israeli reporters.

Arens, who met for 45 min-
tues earlier in the day with
Defense Secretary Caspai
Weinberger at the Pentagon,
said he expressed Israel's
opposition to President Reagan's decision to "send 400
Stinger anti-aircraft missiles to Saudi Arabia.
"Our concern is that these
missiles could fall in the
hands of terrorist groups,"
he explained. He said Israel
feared the terrorists would
use the easily affordable
weapon against civilian aircraft and this "could be a
danger to us but not only to
us."
Saudis Not 'Effective'
Defenders Of Gulf
But Arens also stressed
that in the "escalating"
situation in the Persian Gulf
in which ships are under attack from Iran and Iraq the
shoulder fired Stinger would
not be effective since its
range is only three miles.
The Israeli official suggested'that the Saudis will
not be "effective" in defend
ing the Gulf as the U.S. is
counting on them to do. He
noted that the Iran-Iraq war
has been going on for nearly
four years and while the
Saudis have a great deal of
American equipment, they
don't have the "capability,
the desire or maybe the
motivation" to use them.
Arens, however, ruled out
any Israeli military involvement in the Gulf. This is "not
at all being considered," he '
said. '
In another matter Arens
said that while he was on the
scene April 13 when Israeli
troops killed two Palestinian
bus hijackers, and captured
two others, he did not know
that the two captured Palestinians had been beaten to
death.
"I was in the area during
the entire night while the bus
and passengers were held
hostage," he said. "I was in
the area when the bus was
taken over by the Israeli
armed forces and I left the
