In the latest of a series of attacks on Jewish institutions here, a medium-sized bomb exploded at dawn yesterday in front of the Hebraica Theater. The blast shattered six glass swinging doors but caused no casualties, officials reported.
In a related development, Dr. Nehemias Resnizky, president of the DAIA, the central representative agency of Argentine Jewry, said that the recent decree banning some Nazi publications and shutting down the Milicia Publishing House, a frequent publisher of material defaming Jews, was not as sweeping as the DAIA had hoped for it was, he said, quoting from the daily newspaper La Prensa, opportune and salutary.
Resnizky said the decree may serve as a precedent for such problems in the future because it declares that social unrest involved in such activity is incompatible with Argentine values. He stressed that the decree came only after intensive representations. He said a major positive element was that the Nazi materials had offended not only Jews but the entire Argentine people.
