VOL. 51 NO. 52 DECEMBER 20, 1973 - KISLEV 25 Devoted to American CO and Jewish Ideals H WASHINGTON (WNS) - The House of Represen¬ tatives adopted by an overwhelming vote of 364-53 the $2.2 billion measure to resupply Israel with weapons lost in the Yom Kippur War. Later Deputy Secretary of State Kenneth Rush and other Administration officials appealed for the Senate to approve the measure in testimony before the I Senate Foreign Relations Committee. They refuted Committee Chairman J. William Fulbright's contention that there was no urgency to adopt the meajsure and that it might impair negotiations at the Geneva peace conference. Rush said the $2.2 billion was needed to assure Israel and warn the Arabs not to renew the war. Fulbright repeatedly referred to Israel Defense Minister Moshe Dayan's remarks in the U.S. that Israel was "never stronger." Rush replied that Israel might be stronger than ever but weaker in absolute terms than its enemies. WASHINGTON, (JTA) — An alert to all postal stations to be on the lookout for "terrorist letter bombs in the mail stream" was published in the Postal Bulletin of the U.S. Postal Service here. The alert contains a detailed description of letter bombs "ad¬ dressed to Israeli officials in this country or to Americans of known close ties to Israel." The alert, in the Nov. 29 Postal Bulletin states: "Although most of the letter bombs which have been sent by terrorist to targets in the United States have been carried in the mails, none of these bombs has exploded except in the ,.v process of being opened. The two types encountered to date each require that the insert be removed from the wrapper for the detonating mechanism to be activated. In their unopened condition, these letter bombs appear capable of withstanding the rigors of handling without detonation." Urges American Jews Not Tb Neglect Education Because Of Attention To Israeli Problems Kissinger Says Energy Crisis Not Result Of War; Meany Urges Resist Arab Blackmail o > r- V) o o LONDON, (JTA) - Secretary of State Henry A. Kissinger declared here on Dec. 12 that the energy crisis was not simply a product of the Arab-Israeli war but the inevitable consequence of the explosive growth of world-wide demand out¬ running the incentives for supply. He called for collective efforts to solve it. The Middle East merely made a chronic crisis acute, but the crisis had been coming in any event, he said addressing the Pilgrim Dinner in his honor at the Europa Hotel. "The United States proposes, "Kissinger said, "that the nations of Europe, North America and Japan establish an energy action group with a mandate to establish within three months an initial action program for collaboration in all areas of the energy problem." He said the energy producing nations "should be invited to join it from the very beginning in matters common to both sides." The Secretary of State, described U.S. in¬ volvement in the recent Middle East war, "The United States demonstrated great restraint until the Soviet effort reached the point of massive in¬ tervention," Kissinger said. "Once that happened, it became a question of whether the West would retain any influence to help shape the political future of an area upon which Europe is even more dependent than the United States. We in¬ volved ourselves resupply .effort, not to take sides in the conflict, but to protect the possibility of pursuing after the war the (CONTINUED ON PAGE 4) ft a< NEWYORK, (JTA) - The president of the American Association for Jewish Education has urged the American Jewish com¬ munity "not to allow its present preoccupation with the problems confronting. Israel to diminish its support of Jewish education in the United States." Robert H. Arnow, in an address here last week to the midwinter meeting of the ; AAJE's National Governmenting Council, its highest policy body, said : that "the realization of Israel's' peril and vulnerability" during the Yom Kippur War "emphasizes the need to strengthen Jewish identity in America, through education, inorder to insure, the preservation and continuity of Jewish life.'' Arnow, who was reelected at the meeting to a second two-year term as AAJE president, stated, however, that the Jewish community's support of American curricular programs, seminaries, day schools and other in¬ struments of Jewish education "represents a paralled—not a conflicting — responsibility to its correct and understandable concern" for Israel's security and well-being. "The strengthening and vitalizing of Jewish identity in the United States—the largest Jewish community in the world — is essential on two interrelated levels," he said: "First, to guarantee the American Jewish community's own creative survival and second, to enable it thereby to work more • effectively and committedly in behalf of Israel and Jews elsewhere abroad."

WASHINGTON (WNS) -, The House of Represen¬ tatives has adopted by a 272- 140 vote the 1973 Trade Reform Act including the provisions banning U.S. trade credits, investment guarantees and most favored nation status for the Soviet Union until it relaxes restrictions on emigration. Tiie measure now goes to the Senate where more than three-quarters of the members have endorsed identical restrictions em¬ bodied in the Jackson Amendment. The vote Orthodox Leader Says Israel Situation Similar To European Jews Pre-WW II by Bill Cohen Chronicle Special Reporter "The situation in Israel today has some similarities to the situation faced by European Jews just before World War II," said Rabbi Louis Bernstehv the National President of the Rabbinical. Council of America, during a visit to Columbus last week. Bernstein was here to participate in a meeting of the National Executive of the R.C.A., the largest group of Orthodox rabbis in the U.S. "Israel is becoming once again the testing ground for world opinion that can be; G-d forbid, another Munich," he told The Chronicle. "The nations of the world in 1938 com¬ promised in Munich under all kinds of duress and blackmail, and you can't buy off a blackmailer," Bern¬ stein said, referring to Arab nations. Bernstein, who had just returned from Israel Dec. 9, said another similarity between present day Israel and pre-World War II Jewry is the mood of Jews in Israel. Asked about the increasing diplomatic isolation of Israel as a result of the Arab oil (CONTINUED ON PAGE 16) followed approval by 319-80 of the amendment sponsored by Rep. Charles A. Vanik (D. Ohio) to deny trade credits and investment guarantees, directly or indirectly, to the Soviet Union until it eases its policies on the emigration of Jews and others, After approving the Vanik motion the House killed by a 298-106 vote a motion by Ad¬ ministration supporters to , delete the entire Mills-Vanik Amendment/ 'However, President Nixon has threatened to veto the bill if it contains the trade restrictions. Vanik said the "tremendous vote" is a "clear mandate" by Congress "in support hoth ♦for human rights and decency and an expression of compassion for the State of Israel." Sen. Henry M. Jackson (D. Wash.) sponsor of the identical measure in the Senate expressed the hope that Soviet authorities - would reconsider • their emigration practices as a result of the House action. Meanwhile Jewish leaders hailed the House vote as an important moment in American history, a positive act of statesmanship and a great moral victory for American and Soviet Jews.
