Bur George Lincoln Rockwell, and planning to hold a world congress of Nazi-Fascists in Argentina, was submitted here this weekend to Sir Muhammad Zafrulla Khan, president of the General Assembly. The proof, in the form of a photo-copy letter from Rockwell, leader of the American Nazi Party, was submitted by Dr. Maurice L. Perlzweig, head of the World Jewish Congress department of international affairs.

The WJC has consultative status at the United Nations. The Rockwell letter, dated last Oct. 3, written on swastika-emblazoned stationery of the American Nazi Party, and concluded with "Heil Hitler," was addressed to three persons in Buenos Aires, identified as Dubrow and Muller, of the Argentine National Socialist Front. Rockwell took over world leadership of the Nazi movement this fall, when Colin Jordan, British leader of the movement, was jailed for a nine-month term after being convicted of violating Britain's Public Order Act through the holding of anti-Semitic demonstrations. of the American Nazi Party, and temporary commander of the World Union of National Socialists, showing he was planning a world congress of Nazis to be held in Argentina in 1963, were distributed to the Jewish leaders here.

Alec Easterman, World Jewish Congress of International Affairs, revealed some data showing the global ramifications of resurgent Nazism-Fascism. There were 23 international assemblies of such organizations in the last two years, he said. West German statistics, he declared, showed there were 85 such organizations in Germany and 450 outside Germany. He noted there had been recent printings of Hitler's "Mein Kampf" in large editions in Brazil, Egypt and England. UN Gets Proof of Rockwell's Plan for a World Congress UNITED NATIONS (JTA) Proof that "the heirs and successors" of Hitler Nazism are attempting to form a worldwide anti-Semitic organization under the temporary leadership of Parley Asks World to Avert Revival of Anti-Semitism WJC Urges "Energetic Measures" to Halt Nazi-Fascist Groups LONDON -(JTA)- The United Nations, all democratic governments and religious groups of all denominations were urged here, in a resolution adopted by representatives of 15 European countries attending a special two-day conference called by the World Jewish Congress, to join "in energetic measures to halt increasing activities by Nazi-Fascist organizations which stir up anti-Semitic and racial hatreds in order to destroy human liberty." The resolution culminated the special conference summoned by the WJC to examine the revival of Nazi-Fascist anti-Semitism in various parts of the world.

The conference also mapped an action program, including legislative, educational and similar actions in cooperation with church groups and humanitarian organizations "to curb and eliminate Na7i-Fa. nal leaders. The dinner was dedicated to Jacob Goodman, veteran Zionist and ZOA associate treasurer, who was presented with a plaque for outstanding services to Zionism and Israel for more than half a century. President Kennedy sent a message of tribute to Mr. Lipsky and Mr.

Goodman "for their services to humanitarian causes." In response to the tributes and the award, Mr. Lipsky, who observed his 86th birthday this week stressed that American Zionism "fulfilled its first mission brilliantly when the State of Israel was born." He expressed the hope that "the friendship and support that Israel now needs should be given by American Zionists as an expression of their kinship with the whole of Israel." Message from Ben-Gurion Previously, Mr. Lipsky was the recipient of numerous messages of congratulations from Jewish leaders in various countries on the occasion of his 86th birthday. Leading in the messages from Israel was a cable from Prime Minister David Ben-Gurion greeting Mr. Lipsky on behalf of the Israel Government.

"Your vigor and freshness of soul are symbolic of the vitality of our people," Mr. Ben-Gurion said in his message. "The richness of your distinguished life as a leader, writer, thinker and orator has had a powerful impact on the formal pattern of the larg I "-in hi i -i.

Rabbi Julius Mark, SCA president, made a strong plea for understanding not only among men, but among nations as well, "In an age of perplexity, peril and fear, what shall men and nations do that they might live and not die?" he asked. "We are all aware of the need for peace in a time in which mankind is threatened by thermonuclear annihilation. But there can be no peace among individuals and nations without mutual understanding." Rabbi Philip Hiat, executive vice-president of the SCA, stressed the primacy of the synagogue in Jewish life. "The American Jewish community, as a group, owes its position chiefly to its credentials as a religion.

Hence its religious representative should be its spokesman in all religious matters without challenge, intrusion, comr petition or overlapping." Judge Samuel I. Rosenman of New York made the presentation. Benjamin Lazrus of New York was chairman.

The conference nnteH (hat resurgent Nazism and fascism exploit anti-bemitism as a weapon, not only against the Jews but against democracy itself." "It is a matter of urgency," the main resolution stated, "to eliminate the new Nazi-Fascist threat before it once a pa in reaches the di mensions which brought civilization to the brink of destruction during the Hitler era."

May you be blessed with many more years of illustrious and fruitful service." Rabbi Suggests Mate Selection for Marriage by IBM Machine CHICAGO (JTA) A Chicago rabbi has noted that the disappearance of the matchmaker in Jewish life has not been solved by "less competent" substitutes and has suggested that young men and women pick their mates with the aid of an IBM computer. Rabbi Ephraim Prombaum took up the problem in the Bulletin of the Chicago Board of Rabbis. He contended that friendship clubs were something less than satisfactory and that matrimonial agencies also could be considered as being of "unproved integrity." Jews should develop a Scientific Marriage Organization, similar to that developed by a psychologist who uses IBM machines to arrange the proper social introductions for young people.

This idea, the rabbi asserted, would be of great benefit for the safety and progress of Jewish marriage and the family. It VI ALL SIZES AND TYPES TIRE 2733 W. Wisconsin Ave. TT Mrs. Ida Sebreny Services for Mrs.

Arabs Head Drive for Saudi Arabia to Remove UN Envoy Claim Ahmad Shukairy Embarrasses Moderates Urged Tacuara Salute UNITED NATIONS (JTA) A move for the recall by Saudi Arabia of its permanent representative to the United Nations, Ahmad Shukairy, was under way here, with Arab diplomats heading the drive. The desire for Shu-kairy's removal from the UN scene, long contemplated by more moderate Arabs here, gained heavy impetus here after the official Saudi Arabian spokesman declared openly a "salute" to the anti-Semitic Tacuara movement in Argentina and proposed that the UN "adopt" the Tacuara move-1 ment. Shukairy's "salute" to the Tacuara movement was voiced last Friday before the General Assembly's Special Political Committee which is currently debating the Arab issue.

Lucio Garcia del Solar, Argentine representative in the committee, immediately objected to the Shukairy "salute," telling the United Nations that his people and Government reject everything that Tacuara advocates. Arab Diplomats Apologize Embarrassed Arab diplomats, annoyed for many years by Shukairy's intemperate attacks against Israel and Jews, let it be known that they are asking the Saudi Government to take Shukairy away from the UN. Some of the Arab diplomats apologized personally not only to Argentinians here but also to other Latin Americans, volubly assuring all that they felt Shukairy had gone much too far in his anti-Israeli drive by endorsing an open neo-Nazi movement like Tacuara. A sharp protest against Shukairy's endorsement of Tacuara was received here by Dr. Leopoldo Benites, of Ecuador, chairman of the committee in which Shukairy called for the "adoption" of Tacuara.

The protest came from Label A. Katz. president of the International Council of B'nai B'rith, who visited Argentina last summer and probed into the neo-Nazi movement there. Chile Rebukes Arab Delegate at UN for "Saluting" Tacuara UNITED NATIONS (JTA) Ahmad Shukairy, head of the Saudi Arabian delegation here who, last Friday lauded the anti-Semitic Tacuara movement of Argentina and proposed that the United Nations "adopt" Tacuara, was sharply reprimanded here by a Chilean diplomat who said that all l-atin Americans reject such racism. The attack was delivered, during the current debate of the Arab refugee issue, in the General Assembly's Special Political Committee by Don Ramon Huido-bro.
