Survey Shows Conservative Congregations Apathetic About Women In Bllinyan Decision By Joseph Polakoff WASHINGTON (JTA) - What Henry Kissinger did not get from Israel and give to Egypt in March he is getting and giving in August. Unlike his March disaster when Israel refused to concede the Mitle and Gidi Passes and the Abu Rodeis oilfields without a pledge of non-belligerence from Egypt, Kissinger this time has Israel's agreement to retreat without the Egyptian pledge. Five months of pressures and promises from Washington have caused the Rabin govern¬ ment to understand that in the present circumstances of U.S. oil policy and strategic interests, Israel must take second place at least to American appeasement of Egypt. Israel had once in¬ sisted on face-to-face negotiations with the Arabs; then it offered, at U.S. in¬ sistence, to cede to Egypt "a piece of land for a piece of peace," and only a few months ago was prepared to give "a piece of land for a piece of time." But Egyptian , President Sadat, knpwing 'Washington's desire for his By Ben Gallob (Copyright 1975, JTA, Inc.) The controversial 1973 decision to permit women in Conservative congregations to be counted in the minyan' — which continues to roil some Conservative rabbis i- has resulted in "very little ferment and much apathy" in those congregations about the ruling, according to a survey made by the Women's League for Con¬ servative Judaism. Results of the 1974 survey were described in the current issue of the Women's League "Outlook." A questionnaire, devised' to investigate the role "of women in the areas of congregational , ad¬ ministration, education and ritual, was sent to the president of each of. the sisterhoods of the movement's synagogues. Mrs. Jerome Dick, reporting on the findings, declared that 437 sisterhoods, more than half, "a remarkable return,"- had responded.' ■' Mrs. Dick reported that the data showed that some practices providing a significant role for women members ''have been almost universally accepted within •the Conservative movement." Mixed seating is i|an accepted and ex¬ pected situation." A widow or a single woman may become a member of a congregation "with full rights, privileges and responsibilities." The Conservative synagogue religious school "provides not only equal educational opportunities but the same curriculum" for boys and girls, "which leads directly to the fact that Bat Mitzvah has become firmly established, although the mode of observance is varied." While only 21 Conservative congregations were reported to have or have had women presidents, women have been elected to the other most important offices and significant chairmanships in more than two-thirds' of the responding synagogues. Slightly more than a fourth of the responding synagogues do not give husband and wife individual voice and vote but, Mrs. Dick noted, in many synagogues, husband and wife have equal congregational status in a ballot representing a family vote. ^' The poll showed that women are in a position to "influence action' and to guide or initiate policy" on ritual practices in 92 percent of the • responding congregations, through election as officers or ap¬ pointment as chairmen or members of religious or ritual committees, but there nevertheless seemed to be "very little ferment and much apathy in the area of religious ritual," according to Mrs. Dick. As one of the examples, a finding was cited that only 23.8 percent of the respon¬ ding congregations 'count women in a' quorum for a .'

While none of the parts of the second stage agreement worked out by Washington with Cairo and Jerusalem has been officially made public here (although part of it has been disclosed in Jerusalem), it is understood Egypt will not press for removal of the United Nations force in the Sinai for a year and perhaps not for three years. How good Sadat's word is can be questioned. He also pledged through Washington on the first stage agreement that Israeli cargoes could transit the Suez Canal. Three months ago the Suez was opened and as far as is known no Israeli cargoes have passed. On its part, the Ford Administration, in a separate agreement with Israel, has pledged to back Israel in international forums where it is being attacked or cast out by the Arab-led bloc in which Egypt has been playing a major role. It has also promised to present to Congress "after the political round has been completed," a program of military and - economic ADL Says Arab Announcement On Volkswagen Is Just A Ploy NEW YORK (JTA) - The Arab Boycott Office an¬ nouncement Aug. 18 that Volkswagen may be removed from the Arab blacklist because it has given "satisfactory" evidence of boycotting Israel was termed by the Anti- Defamation League of .B'nai B'rith "a typical Arab ploy." According to Seymour Graubard, ADL chairman, Volkswagen, one of the largest car-selling agencies in Israel, never violated Arab boycott regulations which prohibit such things as partnerships, plants and patents in Israel, but not sales in that country of finished products manufactured outside., An ADL investigation of - the announcement in Cairo by Arab Boycott commissioner Mohammed Mahgoub revealed that-VW is con¬ tinuing to sell its cars in Israel, Graubard said. This is what the VW public relations director at the company's headquarters in Wolfburg, West' Germany; said in a telephone con¬ versation with Arnold Forster, ADL associate director and general counsel.'

These latter measures were leaked to media friendly to -the Administration virtually on the eve of Kissinger's departure for Tel Aviv. To observers here, they looked like palliatives to heal the rising clamor in Israel against the agreement that provides no pledge of peace from Cairo. Significantly, a dozen American Jewish community leaders met with Kissinger for 90 minutes the . day before his departure: Afterwards they reported they would support what the Israeli government ac¬ cepted.

DETROIT (WNS) — Police are investigating two incidents within three weeks of a rash of anti-Semitic graffiti, abusive references to Jews and swastikas .which were painted on the fountain in Grand Circus Park andon several public buildings in the downtown area.

"We had no choice but to cancel the conference," Tom Normanton, a Conservative MP and IFCATI vice-president, told a news conference. "We- cannot allow this kind of blackmail threat to be put on us," Normanton said the host association, the Indian Cotton Mills Federation, tried unsuccessfully to per¬ suade its government to change its decision.
