Says Jews Exploiting landlords NEW YORK - The American Jewish Con gress last Friday charged that a ‘‘gross libel” has been per petrated when a black militant student told de legates to the United Nations World Youth Assembly, on a tour of Harlem the day before, that “Jews, predomin antly” were the exploit ing landlords of slum buildings. In a letter to Neville Wade, the British youth delegate who asked about the ownership of the buildings he saw, Congress said the answer that slum hous ing was owned predominantly by Jews "is entirely unwar ranted.” The letter, signed by The odore J. Kolish, chairman of the executive board of Con gress’ New York Metropolitan Council, cited the recent city housing study by Professor David Sternlieb of Rutgers U niversity, which found, accord ing to the New York Times re port of May 1, that black land lords own 52 per cent of the all-black buildings and 20 per cent of the buildings that are mostly black. Similarly, in Spanish-speaking areas, most of the buildings are owned by Spanish-speaking landlords. Mr, Kolish asked Mr. Wade to distribute copies of Ids letter to the other youth delegates be fore the assembly adjoui ned; the American Jewish Congress sent several hundred to him at the United Nations by messeng er. In the letter, the Congress leader wrote: •• undoubtedly, some of the slum property in New York is owned by Jews, just as some is owed by members of the many other groups that make up the population of New York.
