Jewish leaders here have condemned an anti-Israel address before the Detroit Economic Club this week by George A. Weller, foreign correspondent of the Chicago Daily News.

In the course of his address on “What is Our Future in the Middle East and the Significance of the Anti-Zionist Drive of the Soviets,” Mr. Weller. supported Jordan charges that Israel had destroyed many Arab villages and had defied the United Nations authorities. Mr. Weller’s major theses were that “Russia’s anti-Semitism is due to the one-sided United States stand toward Israel” and that “the Arabs no longer trust us.”
