List Inadequate NEW YORK (ZINS) - The recent partial disclosure by the Department of Commerce of American firms who have recieved Arab Boycott requests was called "inadequate" by Dr, Joseph P. Sternsteln, president of the 120,000 member Zionist O^anizatlon of America, who reiterated his demand for the complete and unrestricted publication ofthe list of all companies which have complied with the Arab Boycott "past and present." "If the Department of Commerce, "Dr. Sternsteln said,"continues to refuse to release these names and does not respond forthrightly to our request under the Right to Information Act, we will have to resort to taking legal action.
