FEAR TO MR. WEINSTEIN THAT ALLENDE MIGHT TRY TO USE THE JEWS
AS SCAPEGOATS SHOULD ECONOMIC SITUATION CONTINUE TO
DETERIORATE. WITH MAJORITY OF JEWS ENGAGED IN INDEPENDENT
BUSINESSES AND SMALL TO MEDIUM INDUSTRIES, THEY FEEL
PARTICULARLY VULNERABLE. JEWISH SPOKESMAN ALSO EXPRESSED
CONCERN COMMUNIST WORLD'S ANTI-ZIONIST SENTIMENTS MIGHT
TRANSLATE INTO ANTI-JEW POSTURE BY CHILEAN REGIME UNDER
MARXIST CONTROL. UNCONFIRMED REPORTS TELL OF GRAFFITI
IN SANTIAGO READING "DON'T BUY APARTMENT FROM A JEW --
SOON IT WILL BE YOURS FREE."
