Senator Kenneth B. Kaating, New York Republican, said today that “our Government should leave no stone unturned in the United Nations and elsewhere to publicize and document the infamy of Soviet anti-Semitism.”
Speaking in the Senate, Senator Keating indicated support of a demand by the Jewish War Veterans Organization for more active policies to stem the rising tide of anti-Semitic developments in the Soviet Union.
Senator Hugh Scott, Pennsylvania Republican, meanwhile called on Russia to conform with its obligations under the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. He enumerated anti-Semitic actions in the Soviet Union, stressing that “while other nations, our own included, are called upon to answer charges of racism within national borders, the USSR by the peculiar standard of international double morality which has too long been to its advantage, seems exempt from this obligation.”
