Egypt’s President Gamal Abdel Nasser is practicing “hypocrisy” when he joins Yugoslavia’s President Tito in calling for world-wide disarmament while, at the same time, employing German Nazi scientists for development of missiles, U.S. Sen. Wayne Morse, Oregon Democrat, charged here last night. Mr. Morse was the principal speaker at the fifth national convention of Histadrut of Canada.
Histadrut’s convention followed the closing of the annual conference held here by the Canadian Labor Zionist movement where Leon Kronitz, of this city, was re-elected national chairman. One of the major resolutions adopted at the closing session of the Labor Zionist group constituted a call to world Jewry to “continue every effort to secure for Jews in the Soviet Union even minor concessions that will enable continuation of Jewish awareness in Russia or emigration of even small groups.” Another resolution noted “with alarm and regret” the current policies of anti-Semitism in the USSR.
