Reagan Fully Supports Israel . BOSTON (JTA)—A high-ranking State Department official assured a group of Zionist leaders that the Reagan Administration clearly supports Israel and that there "never has been an American President instinctively sympathetic to Israel" as President Reagan. WiesentMH _ Extremists Are ieiorting To 'Level .of Bireet Mien8 - WASHINGTON, (JTA)—Left and right political extremists are resorting to the "level of direct action" in a resurgence of new-Nazism and anti-Semitism in Europe and much of their propaganda material comes from the United States, Simon Wjesenthal, declared here. The 72-yearrpld Nazi- hunter from Austria. urged that the U.S. adopt legislation against racial hatred as a means to help prevent the, spread of anti- Semitism. Wiesenthal received a standing' ovation from approximately 2500 persons, mainly of college age,, at George Washington University here where he", spoke last week under'the auspices of the B'nai B'rith Hillel Foundation on the campus. The . extremists operating in France, Austria, Germany, the Scandinavian countries and other areas of Europe "cannot exist without the printed propaganda" from the U.S., he said. The material,is supplied in six languages and is sent to a mailing list of 50,000 addresses in Europe. Wiesenthal noted that West German police recently raided 2000 apartments late- one night and found weapons, munitions and propaganda in the German language printed in the U.S. and also in Canada. The consequences, he said, include the desecration of Jewish ceme- , teries, daubing swastikas on Jewish buildings and killings ' of foreigners, including in nocent 'Vietnamese in Hamburg. Wiesenthal said he found a 15-year-old German boy with a leaflet printed in Lincoln, Neb. He said the boy told him that U.S. policy, has changed and Americans now admire Hitler.-Speaking of the rights under the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution,- ■* Wiesenthal" said the publishers of hate material in the U.S. are "abusing the freedom they have." He. noted that while there is world-wide cooperation against the drug traffic ,''no, cooperation exists against the poison being supplied to young people, and in the schools" in the .form of anti-Semitic, propaganda. In response to a student's question; he. urged Americans to write to their Congressmen and to editors to help offset the wave of anti-Semitism now,; stirring the political climate. He said German authorities have received 3000 letters, most of them "not anonymous" providing information on Nazi activists during -World War II. Responding to a question, Wiesenthal said the American television docu- drama "Holocaust" was "very, very important." He lauded the Swedish diplomat, Raoul Wallenberg who saved 100,000 Jews from the Nazis in Hungary during World War II. He said that Soviet statements that Wallenberg died in prison in Budapest "up to now are not convincing evidence of his death." BONN (JTA)-Chancellor Helmut Schmidt has made it clear that he is standing by his positions on the Middle East, including self-determination for the Palestinian people and association of the Palestine Liberation Organization in the Mideast peace process, notwithstanding an official protest from Israel and a bitter personal attack on him by Premier Menachem Begin. However, in a lengthy policy statement to the Bundestag last week, Schmidt seemed to take a conciliatory approach to Israel and to acknowledge the special relationship existing between Bonn and Jerusalem which Begin accused the Chancellor of forgetting. He said he would not respond directly to Begin's charges "precisely - because I am aware of the special moral and historical quality of Ger- Wa'n-rsraeli' relations:" "-'"■'"' Nevertheless, at meetings with the parliamentary factions of his Social Democratic (SPD) and Free Democratic (FDP) coalition .parties in the Bundestag and with his Cabinet,. Schmidt defended his view that the Palestinians deserve self- determination and the right to establish their own stateif they wish,., . He insisted that.the PLO should bea party to Western- initiated peace moves in the Middle East to keep it,from -falling into Russian hands. He deplored the fact that the Palestinians and Israelis have each refused to recognize the other. Schmidt also defended his remark that West Germany has a special commitment to the Palestinians driven from their homes on the West Bank, an assertion that infuriated Begin. According to observers here it is based on a theory gaining ground in Bonn circles that since the Third Reich was in a way responsible for the creation of the State of Israel, it also had a responsibility for the "Palestinian tragedy" which its successor had a duty to help mitigate. Referring to his recent visit to the Middle East in his Bundestag statement, Schmidt said that he and the Arab leaders he met agreed on the need for a comprehen- sive peace settlement from which "Israel was not ence and said he continued to excluded." He noted that hope for a comprehensive, Israel is celebrating the 33rd just peace and that in this he anniversary of its independ- (continoeo on page u) A photo from the information desk at HIAS will be part of the YIVO Institute's "Images of Polish Jewry: Arts and Culture" to be on display at the Conference on the Shtetl.
