Attempts by the American Council for Judaism to “whitewash” Soviet anti-Semitism were denounced today by National Commander Morton London of the Jewish War Veterans.
Mr. London said the quotations by the Soviet Embassy and Communist periodicals of “whitewash” material issued by the American Council for Judaism to minimize and obscure the actual plight of Russian Jews “can no longer be ignored.” The Veterans commander said: “It is particularly ironic that an organization which has the word ‘Judaism’ in its title can function so cynically as a cover for Russian anti-Semitism.”
