WASHINGTON, (JTA) -
Sen. Henry M. Jackson (D.
Wash.) said on April 24 that
he would stand by his
amendment to the U.S.¬
Soviet trade act despite what
Soviet Communist Party
chief Leonid Brezhnev told
seven of his Senatorial
colleagues in Moscow on
April 23. "The White House
got taken in" and "a lot of
people" have been "fooled"
by me Soviet promise of
suspension of the education
tax,' Jackson said. "They
assumed that the tax is the'
only problem," he added.
Jackson made his remarks
after press reports said that
Brezhnev had assured the
visiting Senators that the
education tax has been
suspended and that the
Soviet Union was prepared
to go to great lengths to
remove the issue of Jewish
emigration as an obstacle to
improved U.S.-Soviet trade
relations. The Jackson
Amendment, which has the
support of 76 Senators, would
bar most favored nation
treatement and other trade
concessions to the Soviet
Union as long as it main¬
tained restrictions  on the
emigration of its citizens,
including more than a
"nominal" fee for visas.
President Nixon had told
Congressional and Jewish
community leaders recently
that the "Soviet leadership"
had suspended the education
tax, Jackson said on April 24
that despite the Soviet,,
assurances on the tax
element, he is not with¬
drawing his amendment
until the Soviet government
allows, its citizens to
emigrate freely.      .
Four of the seven Senators
who met with Brezhnev in
Moscow are co-sponsors of
the Jackson Amendment.
Some of the law makers
apparently were persuaded
that the Soviet Union is
sincere in its suspension of
the tax. Sen. Robert P.
Griffin of Michigan, the
Republican Minority Whip
who is not among the co-
sponsors, said that Brezhev
had "confirmed the in¬
formation" relayed to Nixon
that the education tax was
suspended. "I hope now in
the light of these develop¬
ments, the Jackson
Amendment will not be
offered on the floor," Griffin

Coincidental with the
Senators' meeting with
Brezhnev, a group of over
100 Moscow Jews released
an appeal on April 23 to
American Jewish leaders
not to abandon their support
of the Jackson Amendment
while Jews were being
refused exit visas. The
appeal said, "Those who are
refused exit visas under the
pretext of 'national security'
or without any move at all
must not be sacrificed."
They warned that "An
attempt is made to make you
admit that arbitrary
selection in granting exit
visas is compatible with
freedom of emigration and
does not contradict it."
Acceptance of such con¬

Chronicle Special Reporter
You can't bring hew ideas
about women's liberation to
Israel because, for Israel
they are not new. That's the
view of Israeli news¬
paperwoman, Rachel
. Eytan, who was in Columbus
earlier this week to par¬
ticipate in Israel's 25th
anniversary celebration.
'"Ihehistory of our women
is different because we
started to liberate women at
the beginning of the cen¬
tury," Ms, Eytan told The
Chronicle. "The first
pioneering women
demanded \iniJthe first Hb-
^t$v#>rk side bjr side
;;;**$* roe" in the field, in
carpentry, in very hard
menial work as part of being
equal to men."
Ms. Eytan, who has
written for several Israeli
newspapers including
Maariv, said that women are
Judges, politicians, and
journalists in Israel more
than they are here in the U.S.
She also cited a different v
self-image   of the   Israeli.
woman. "The behavior of
women is different than the
American. I, my generation,
or any Israel woman were,
never trained to be a "little
lady," to be a fragile little.;
creature, but to be able to do
heavy jobs, to be a little
athletic,: to   be   strong
physically and mentally,"
she said..,   •'.'•'    ■'■ i,     '
Ms. Eytan added,
however, that Israeli women
are still not completely equal
with Israeli men. "They
don't have equal salaries, a
woman cannot be considered
the breadwinner of the
family, and a woman cannot,
according to the Jewish
Law, get a divorce without
the consent of her husband.".
She alao talked about the
