iThe Escalating Assault on America's lews
Teams from Saudi Arabia, most oi whom were trained at prestigious
American universities, recently criss-crossed the Country meeting With
Arnertcan businessrnen and repeating one basic message:
There is money to be made in our country. We want to do business with
Americans, but we Saudis are funny people. We like to do business in a
friendly climate, but the climate' in your country is not very friendly at
the present time.
ADL's National Director of Research and Evaluation Jerome H. Bakst
painted this picture for 550 persons in attendance our largest ever] at the
ADL Annual Meeting, Sunday, lune 6th.

Tl"WKeeping Us Busy
-- After much investigation, comparing notes wIll'lli1W1Hforcement6gEn-
'lE?S, and speaking with people knowlerlgealile in such matters, we are
satisfied that the recent rash of cross burnings in Southern California
was the work of unconnected and unorganized individuals [many of
whom are teen-agers]
- When we learned that local Arab groups violated the spirit of the Los
Arigeles international Heritage Festival by distributing anti-lsrael
propaganda, we wrote to Mayor Tom Bradley and he promised that
guidelines would be established to insure that this does not happen
again
A KNBC-TVs SATURDAY Show Ch 4], hosted by David Ochoa, devoted

Representing AOL were Regional Board President Harry J, Keaton. _-'92Dl-
National Commissioner Joshua Kheel, Western States Counsel David A
Lehrer, and Regional Director Harvey B Schechter.
Convened by the FEPC, the meeting grew out of our challenge of the city's
practice of asking ]OlJ applicants to provide it with information about race,
ethnicity, etc
[At issue IS the statutory requirement that inquiries about race, etc.,be
purely voluntary and the information recorded on a tear-off section
separated from the application form.!
When we learned that FEPC had granted the city an exemption from the
law, we questionned FEPC's legal authority to grant such e>rempti0IlS- - I .
Admitting they had no such authority, FEPC is now moving to Correct 6
situation they never should have permitted in the first place.

The Black Panther Party Lives - In Print
While there is not much evidence of Black Panther Party community acti-

of advertising . . . thus raising interesting questions about financial

Most recently former Panther
leader Eldridge Cleaver was
denounced by the BPP be-
cause of his attacks on Cuba,
Algeria, Arab racism and
Marxist totaiitarianism.
Said the Panthers, "Cleaver
stands in ideological opposi-
tion to the Black Panther
Party because we support . .
the struggles of the Arab peo-
ple, especially the struggle of
the Palestinian people under
the leadership of the Palestine Liberation Organization . . ."

Fishing for Jewish Souls
Bovard Auditorium on the USC campus was the site of the 3rd Annual
National Gathering of Messianic Jews for three days in mid-June
Billed as Shechinah 7t:I" Spirit of Cod], cleverly designed deceptive bro-
Chures were widely distributed to attract young Jews to what at first
blush appeared to be a Jewish happening rather than an attempt to
convert Jewish youth to Christianity.
Adorned with the picture of an attractive young woman holding her out-
stretched arms high over a lighted Menorah, the brochure offered _ _

propriety of leasing Bovard Auditorium and dorms for such a dishonestlyadvertised venture . . . especially when one considers the excellgm

Subiech Spiro T. Agnew
57¢
Former Vice-President Spiro Agnew, in an interview on the Today show
carried over the NBC network on thy ll, relieved himself of some deplorable
statements about alleged Zionist influences in America . He was invited to
the program to promote his novel, "The Canfield Decision" which has been re-
ceived rather poorly, both as a literary work and as an anti-Jewish statement
Immediately following that telecast the Anti-Defamation League issued a
public statement charging that the remarks made by the ex-Vice President were
shocking and deplorable. We said:
"The irresponsible anti-Semitic statements maligning American
Jews and the American press made by Spiro Agnew this morning on the
Today Show are shocking and deplorable and further discredit him.
His parroting of the Arab propaganda line comes as no surprise in
light of his activities in behalf of Arab petrodollar countries
seeking to invest in the United States. The American public will
reject this bigotry from a former public official who resigned in
disgrace."
The former Vice-President has now amplified and expanded his views about
Jews and Israel in an interview by Washington Star staff writer William
Delaney, published in the May 23 The Washington Star and carried as a news
story in the national media.
Clearly, Agnew's remarks are vulgarly anti-Jewish and include the hoary
canards about Jewish control of the media. He imitates the gutter hate
press of America by actually identifying certain media gures by name in an
effort to prove his nonsense that the Jews control the news media.
TO get the full flavor of this bigots remarks, we enclose a copy of
The Washington Star interview. Note that Agnew singles out the "B'nai Brith
Anti-Defamation League" for speaking out "at the first breath of anything
that is legitimate criticism even, of the Jewish commun' y, it's always bigot 1t
Obviously, ADL views the Agnew attack upon it as a compliment, consideri
the source, ADL's public reaction to the interview was verbalized as follows
"For the third time in a matter of weeks, the disgraced Spiro
Agnew, a convicted felon, has engaged in classical anti-Semitism of
the Nazi variety. It is quite apparent that Agnew's business affils
iations with the Arabs have Jed him to become a propagandist of the
most evil kind."If
I
-2-
We think that Americans everywhere, surely including non-Jews, should speak
out against this un-American campaign. If the Delaney interview or a report about
it appeared in any paper in your area, you are free to select either or both of
the above ADL statements and release them in an appropriate local AIDL leader's
name. If it suits, you might want to do this in the form or a letter to the
editor. There's no need to make reference to the Agnew book itself by name or
otherwise. His comments are enough.
For those who haven't seen it, I also enclose a copy of an article by William
Safire about Agnew carried in the New York Times of May 21+. Safire, is of course,
a former top aide to ex-President Nixon and as he writes, a. former friend of the
former Vice-President.
We have not been able to verify widespread reports that Mr. Agnew is a rep-
resentative of either some Arab government or major Arab business organizations.
He is not registered in Washington, D.C. as a foreign agent, and we would guess
that he would not have failed to do so, if he were acting in that capacity. Of
course, it is nevertheless possible that he had acted as a middle-man, commission
salesman or some such thing in business deals between the Arabs and American com-
panies, receiving his fees, commissions or whatever from the American end of the
contract. In that case, he'd be an agent of the American outfit and would not be
required to register as an agent of a foreign principal.
Attached is a memorandum summarizing the plot of the Agnew novel and offering
excerpts from some reviews, including the N.Y. Times review of my 25, 1976 by
Christopher Lehmann-Haupt .

Of course, anyone who has ever been

Mixed feelings
Q: As vice president for
4?! years. what do you con-
sider to have been your
Ch-if?! legacy to American
ponticai life?
A: I suppose what I said,
and the points of view that
weren't entirely popular at
the_tin'ie. articulated what I
kiieved were the inherentfeelings of millions of
Americans. I think, forexatinale, what I said about
the networks had a salu-t_ary_:ffect on the way they-
inncuon, _the,gT-owih of op-cutors and who was subse-
quently sentenced, named
Joel Kline, had funneled
$100,000 to me. I remember
a couple of headlines to that
effect. And this kept beingwritten over and over
as though Joel Kline ad
transferred money to me.
I've never met Joel Kline,
I've never talked to Joel
Kline even on the telephone.
No money or anything of
value has ever passed be-
tween US.
Q: On one of these pro-.
grams, you wereiasked if
you had it all to do over:again would youtfo intopolitics, andvousat no.
A: That's my present
reaction. Of course, I just
think that political people
are sitting ducks for any
kind of exploitation by any-
' other interests that one with
comes alo . Part of this-comes out girlie non-disc_lo-
sure of sources by reporters
who publish accusatory re-marks of other people, and I
know it's a di i'icult.prob-
lein, it's not a-simple one, of/
when to prot'ec't'sou_rees and
when not to. But the temp-
tation of people with
political aspirations of their
own or hopes for other peo-
ple they know, to create
trouble for other people in
political life through whis-=
pering something to a _re-
porter, some accusation
and then-not ever being
called uponto substantiate
it, is a very bad situatioti.
Q: What about Nixon
now? Is-he the victim of a
bum rap? .
A: I've s..id I wasn't
going to talk about Presi-
dent Nixon because I men-
tioned, and you may have

Q: You may not have re
sed had you known...
A: I'm not Eging to say
aoything more youd that.
Q: Have you, aslapolltician, done i"in.i"" oiwhich youarc ashamed?
A: I sure can answer
that: No, I have not. I've
done things that I don!
think were very srna. In
other words I think that the
carelessness with which po
iitical fund-raising moneyswere handled. Looking into
the future, if I'd recognizedwhat was coming it would
have been done differently.
I wouldn't have let some
fund-raising chairman say,-

"The Canfield Decision" is a novel by former Vice President Spiro T.
Agnew which concerns itself with "political intrigue, sexual dalliance and
high drama . . . in the power cities of the world among men and women who
vie for the tangible rewards and hidden spoils of high ofice." The book
is published by Playboy Press, the book publishing division of Playboy P11
Enterprises, Inc., of Chicago, Ill., and distributed by Simon & Schuster,
Inc., of New York hh pps., $3-95!-
"The Canfield Decision" is set in 1983. Its central character is
Porter Canfield, M8, a member of a wealthy and prominent Philadelphia Main
Line family and "darling of the Eastern Establishment" who is Vice President
in the lame d_1_ic_k administration of President Walter Hurley, Canfield, B.
"ruthlessly ambitious" man, seizes on the unrest and exasperation at home
and the storm clouds gathering over the Middle East to seek the Presidency.
His first move for recognition is to establish his independence fro the
incumbent President.
can; * sets his plan in motion with a speech concerning arms to
Israel. Contradicting official foreign policy and splitting with the Pres-
ident's views, Canfield publicly advocates that the United States supply
Israel with intermediate-range nuclear ballistic missiles. Although this
poves to be a popular position, Canfie1d's speech touches off a series of
dramatic events, international intrigue, danger and passion that nearly
culminates in Wold War III.

groups, including militant Zionists, terrorists, and some people who are
not what they seem to be, who combine "to plot the destruction of American

foreign policy." His struggle for political power is further complicated
by his love affair with the Secretary of Health, Education and Welfare,
Meredith Lord, and by his high-level adviser's affair with an Iranian
secret agent, as well as the machinations of the Persian Protective League
and the activities of Yorman Halevy, heed of a militant Zionist group which
operates from above a delicatessen in Williamsburg.
- - ease
* end, however, it is Canfields arrogance and prid
moral blind spots which bring about his downfall, the result, in part, of
his dealings with pro-Israeli zealots. The evil protagonist of the story,
though, turns out to be a South Yemen agent for the Communist Chinese.
Newsweek magazine of My 2%, 1976 characterized Agnew's novel as "a
pulpy thriller offering an intriguing view of the Washington power game,
some locker-room sex, graphic violence »- and what will seem to some read-
ers a whiff of anti-Semitism." Qimg magazine described the book's plot as
"complicated, although not intricate." And a review of the book in the
Newark - of May 16, 1976 charged that "what mars 'The Canfield Star Ledger
Decision are the author's attitudes. The book is anti-press, anti»
Semitic, anti-woman and anti-black.
The anti-Semitic aspect of Agnew's novel was seized upon by Christopher
Lehmann-Haupt in his "Boos of The Time" column in the New York Times of
M-5.? 35, l9',76i I_ehs..e.nc-F.aupt stated that Agnew's "potboiler" was
" . . . based on the inflammatory premise that American Jews
exert an influence on American opinion that is far heavier than
their numbers would indicate. They are the strongest single
influence in the big media -- the media with worldwide impact.
They control much of the financial commnity. Therefore, they
heavily affect, through propaganda, the majority of the Congress.
Oh, they scream anti-Sentism whenever anyone mentions this
power, but it's true.'"
Lehann-Haupt noted that it is an Iranian terrorist who utters these
_ 3 _
words in the novel, "so one can't quite scream anti-Semitism at the
author, even though the plot of The Canfield Decision bears the terror-
ist Out." The New York Times book-reviewer added that the story was "over-
detailed, the dialogue overexplicit, the characters overcliched, and the
work left to the reader's iagination overlooked," and that, as'a result,Q,
the story tended to disappear from sight - "everything, that is, except .
his Agnews! theory about overinfluential Jews."
Nhrtin Levine, in his column, "The Book Shelf," in the Newark §§§§-
Ledger of thy 16, in which he termed Agnews book "antipress" and "anti-
Semitic, also pointed out what he viewed as examples of the former Vice
President~tuned-author's bias against the media and Jews. He charged:
"In the first chapter alone, a steward guesses that he'll
never learn to move fast enough to run booze to those newsies';
a secret servicemn muses about the unfounded accusations of
advocacy journalism; crowd estimates are said to vary accord-
' + I+w +hn R v+a ress1s92 nhnn+ Vina Drncigqtlag .- -n- "ma .n- rcpoicc. 92,--l-, a--_- .--- -_--- -
Canfie1d'; television cameraman are described as looking for
bpen-mouth mastication or an errant dribble of gravy down a
distinguished chin; Canfield grumbles inwardly about edit-
orialists, columnists and other foreign policy amateurs, and,
after a particularly insolent question, he neatly upbraids the
reporters traveling with him and smiles to himself as he walks
away.
"The narrator also noted that at the press table . . . less
than 15 per cent was not Jewish. Later, in terms strikingly
reminiscent of those used by a U.S. general a few years ago,
the leading Persianprotector explains that American Jews
. . . are the strongest single influence in the big media,
besides controlling much of the financial community, and
through it, large segments of the academic community. Key
people in the press and therefore the Jews! are shown sec-
retly coordinating policies."
According to Newsweek magazine, Playboy Press has already taken
37,000 orders on an advance printing of 50,000 copies of "The Canfield
Decision" and put aside 25,000 more copies for its book club. The director
of Playboy Press book division has been quoted as saying that the book
could earn its author half a million dollars."
_1,_
Spiro Agnew's novel, The Canfield Decision," contains numerous
stereo-typical references to American Jews and to Israel, and, as_such,
is a source of concern. While these statements are expressed by tarioust
characters in the story, they nevertheless appear to reflect the feelings
of the book's author -- feelings which, for the most part, evidence hostil-
ity to Jews and Jewish concerns. Indeed, most of the commnts are deprec-
atory and derogatory. Jews are said to exert influence on American opinion
to control the financial commuity and the academic community, to under-
stand the "poner of money", to be "pushy", to be ultrasensitive to persec-
ution, to be liberals, and to have been against the war in Southeast
Asia.
The book also contains a derogatory reference to the ADL. 'Whe
Anti-Defamation League goes berserk at the slightest criticism of Jews,"
one character in the novel declares. _
