A reportedly left-wing Jewish organization was accused here today of falsely characterizing itself as representative of organized Jewry in Argentina. The DAIA, central representative body of Argentine Jewry, made the charge against the Federation of Cultural Jewish Institutions of Argentina, an organization which it said was ousted from the DAIA in 1953 for supporting anti-Jewish trials in Czechoslovakia. The DAIA charged in a statement that the activities of the Federation were outside the framework of Jewish life here, that it was aligned with ideologies and groups openly opposed to Israel, and that it supported Soviet policy in the Middle East.
