The Jewish War Veterans of New York State at its annual statewide convention adopted resolutions here today in support of the United States Government’s policies in Vietnam and its efforts to find a peaceful settlement through negotiations.

The 1, 500 delegates, representing more than 250 JWV units in the states, also passed resolutions calling on the West German and Austrian governments to curtail the recent manifestations of neo-Nazi political activity within their countries; and asking the Soviet Government to put an end to its oppression of its Jewish population. Other resolutions condemned the John Birch Society, the Communist Party, the American Nazi Party, the National Renaissance Party and the Ku Klux Klan as being un-American and dangerous to the American way of life.
