week to publish a correction of
assertions made in a Herald Tri
bune syndicated column earlier
during the week, to the effect that
the Jewish Telegraphic Agency
had accused Senator Barry Gold-
water, Arizona Republican, of
anti-Semitism. The charge was
made in the Rowland Evans Rob
ert Novak column, published by
the Herald Tribune on August 21.
The 47-year-old news agency
asked the Herald Tribune to send
the correction to all newspapers
publishing the Evans-Novak col
umn.
The Herald Tribune columnists
charged that “Liberal Jewish
sources are implying nothing less
than anti-Semitism to Goldwater
himself.” The attack on the Con
servative Republican they said,
came in “a dispatch by the influ
ential and liberal Jewish Tele
graphic Agency.”
The implied theme of this dis
patch, the columnists said, was
that “Goldwater is trying to ap
pease the anti-Semites by be
coming one himself.” The “whole
source” for this charge, they said,
was a Goldwater interview on a
Washington radio station on July
25 criticizing the Jews for their
alleged support of the Democra
tic Party. The Evans Novak re
port was based on a column by
Milton Friedman, JTA Washing
ton correspondent, released by
JTA a week previously to Eng
lish language Jewish newspapers
throughout the country.
Eleazar Lipsky, president of the
Jewish Telegraphic Agency,
denied charges of political par
tisanship imputed in the Herald
Tribune column. He said: “The
Jewish Telegraphic Agency is an
impartial, objective news service
reporting developments honestly
and accurately. It is neither De
mocratic nor Republican. Mr.
Friedman’s column was a fair
and objective statement of the
facts. Mr. Friedman’s interpreta
tion of these facts was well
within the limitations on com
ment imposed on reporters.
“Mr. Friedman did not accuse
Sen. Goldwater of anti-Semitism,
as a careful reading of his col
umn will show. He did quote a
responsible Jewish source as
characterizing the position taken
by Sen. Goldwater as one of ‘ap
peasement of his detractors at the
expense of the Jewish commun
ity.’ The editors of JTA are
aware of the identity of the of
ficial who made this statement,
and are satisfied as to his qual
ifications to pass this judgment.
“Mr. Friedman did not, as the

Evans-Novak column implied, as
sert that it was Sen. Goldwater’s
statement that the Jews support
ed the Democratic Party that
‘shocked persons of the Jewish
faith.’ What many Jews have
found shocking is Sen. Gold
water’s identification of Jews
with a party which he described
—in his own words as one which
‘opened the doors wide to Com
munism all over the world’ and
which, in the Senator’s words,
made treaties ‘that have allowed
their own people, the Jewish peo
ple, to suffer through pogroms
and anti-Semitism all over the
world.’
“Journalistic fairness should
have impelled the Herald-Tribune
columnists to give the full quo
tation. It should also have de
terred them from seeking to cre
ate the impression that the JTA
correspondent had seized on an
isolated case of Sen. Goldwater
speaking out on the American
Jewish community. Sen. Gold-
water has made a series of state
ments criticizing American Jews
for alleged support of the Demo
cratic party. His most recent
statement on this issue was made
on August 19, when he address
ed a student seminar in Wash
ington sponsored by the Repub
lican National Committee, and
repeated his complaint.
“Before writing his column,
Mr. Friedman sought an inter
view with Sen. Goldwater to give
him the opportunity to review
and clarify the remarks he made
in his July 25 broadcast, which
Mr. Friedman intended to quote.
The Senator’s office, however,
declined to arrange an inter
view.”

Gentle Readers . .. Moving?. .. New Address?
It costs THE SOUTHERN ISRAELITE a costly and needess
dime every time we get a paper returned because of a
wrong or antiquated address. Of all the rising costs in to
day’s struggle for newspaper survival this seems the most
wasteful. If a subscrljjer Is moving into a new home, leav
ing town, changing apartments In the same building or
whatever, it seems the least he or she could do is pick up
the phone and notify us of the change—or drop a card.
Waiting until you're all unpacked and settled in the
address Is very thoughtless. By then, you’ve not only
