a trap laid.by their enemies. Writing in Ebony
magazine, Dr;- Alvin F. Poussaint: "The historic
alliance between Jews and Blacks have been im- H
portant to the individual advancement of both groups j§
5 and the Black community should not relinquish this v
alliance on either the Israeli dispute, or quota
arguments." Dr. Poussaint called for affirmative
action among Blacks and Jews to bring their social
conflicts Into perspective so that they could work
together for an equal share of power and opportunity in
American society.

Soviets Release Activists Detained During
Summit -Jewish Emigration Discussed
.   by Joseph Polakoff
WASHINGTON (JTA) —
Soviet authorities began
releasing last week Jewish
activists taken into custody
during the Moscow summit
meeting, Jewish sources in
the Soviet Union reported.
Soviet emigration policy and
the harassment of Jews
seeking exit visas for Israel
were discussed by President
Nixon and Soviet Communist
Party leader. Leonid
Brezhnev at their summit
meeting, according to
Secretary of State Henry A.
Kissinger, who made the
report at a press conference
in Moscow' yesterday
recorded by the State
Department here. An
estimated 100 Soviet Jewish
dissidents were rounded up
in advance of Nixon's
arrival.
Kissinger declined to
provide details of those
discussions but said he
would take up the subject
with pertinent members of
Congress when-he-returns to
Washington. Kissinger has
met frequently on the issue
of Soviet Jews with Sens.
Henry M. Jackson (D.
Wash.), Abraham Ribicoff
(D. Conn.) and Jacob K.
Javits (ft. NY). It is
presumed here that he will
have a post summit meeting
with them next week after
Congress returns from its
. July 4 recess. :>
The Soviet government
made informal expressions
of regret to the three major
American television net¬
works yesterday for the
blackout of transmissions
regarding the treatment of
Jews and dissidents in the
telecasts by NBC, CBS and
ABC were cut off in mid-
sentence Tuesday. Kissinger
said at his press conference
yesterday that he lacked
"details" of the in¬
terruptions but  "we  cer¬
tainly don't approve of
them." A senior Soviet
broadcasting official at¬
tributed the blackouts to
"hot-headed" technicians
who, he said, has been told
; not to do it again. But a
second blackout occurred
after the explanation. The
action is believed to be in
violation of an agreement

Closings Of Moscow Seminar
Reports Anti-Semitic
Now Broadcast On 126
NEW YORK (JTA) -
"This is Liberty Lobby," a
five-minute broadcast of
"news" and commentary
controlled by one of the most
notorious professional anti -
Semites currently active in
America, is being carried
regularly by 126 stations in
39 states and the District of
Columbia, a survey by the
B'nai B'rith Anti -
Defamation League
disclosed last week.
Lawrence Peirez, chairman
of the ADL's. national civil
rights committee who made
the survey public, identified
Willis A. Carto. an  "out¬
spoken anti-Semite" who
founded Liberty Lobby 16
years ago as a front for Jew-
baiting and other racist
propaganda as "the un-
publicized force" behind the
broadcasts.
The program originated in
March, 1973 with only four
stations, gathered 62 more
outlets by Sept. and broke
the 100-station mark a month
later, according to John L.
Goldwater, chairman of the
ADL's national fact-finding
committee which conducted
the survey. As a result of a
recent contract signed with
the Mutual Broadcasting
Stations
System, it will soon be
available to Mutual's net¬
work of more than 600 radio
stations, the ADL reported.
It is carried by most stations
on a paid basis but by some
as a "public service," the
ADL report noted.
The nature of "This is
Liberty Lobby" was in¬
dicated by its "daily at¬
tacks" on Israel and
American Jews during and
immediately following the
Yom Kippur War last Oct.,
Goldwater reported. These
attacks included descrip¬
tions   of   Israel   by   the

NEW YORK (JTA) —Two
: groups     of      American
scientists have issued a
statement deploring "the
destruction    by    Soviet
authorities of the unofficial
scientific  seminar"  which
was to have begun last week
in the Moscow apartment of
Prof; Alexander Vprimel.

* executivei board xof  the
Committee of Concerned
Scientists   and   the   In¬

protested   against    "the
harassment     and      im¬
prisonment of many of the.
seminar's   organizers"   in¬
cluding Voronel/
"We protest the Soviet
government's refusal to
permit these scientists
neither to exercise ' their
internationally-recognized
right to emigrate, nor to
function as scientists within
the Soviet Union," the
statement declared. "We are
icohvjncedf V thajL these
repressive actions^by the
Soviet government against
leading scientists wishing to
emigrate and other out¬

human principles and en¬
danger the implementation

At the same time, it was
reported here that Vitaly
Rubin, a leading sinologist
and one of the organizers of

Kissinger Denies U.S. - Soviet Accord On Palestinian Role In Geneva Talks
BY Joseph Polakoff
WASHINGTON (JTA) -
Secretary of State Henry A.
Kissinger emphatically
denied last week that the
United States and the Soviet
Union had agreed on the
participation of Palestinians
in the Geneva Middle East
peace conference when it
reconvenes. Speaking at a
press conferece in Moscow,
recorded   by   the   State
Department here, Kissinger
insisted that U.S. policy
toward the Palestinians was
"absolutely" unchanged.
He rejected a reporter's
statement that the super¬
powers, at their third
summit conference, had
agreed to the entry' of
Palestinians into the Geneva
conference as "the Russians
wanted." The. reporter
apparently based his
assertion on the joint Nixon •
Brezhnev communique
which, in its section on the
Middle East, referred to
''the legitimate interests of
all peoples in the Middle
East, including the
Palestinians."'^
"Absolutely not,"
Kissinger said with regard to
an alleged agreement on
Palestinian    participation.
■ The participants in the
Geneva conference, to which
I invitations were extended by
the  United   Nations   six
months ago, are Israel,
Egypt,  Syria and  Jordan
with the USSR  and  U.S.
j serving as co-chairmen.
I    Sen.   Jacob   K.   Javits
(R.NY) bailed Kissinger's
I recent    disengagement
: mission in the Middle East
and said American frierid-
■ ship toward Israel remained
/unchanged. Javita assured
' Israelis that the reference to
| the rights of the Palestinians
in the Nixon - Brezhnev
communique was not a
euphemism for the
establishment of a
Palestinian state on the West
Bank of the Jordan. Nor does
it symbolize international
status for Palestinian terror
organizations, he said.
According to Javits, the
term "legitimate interests"
can be interpreted in various
ways. He stressed that Israel
recognized some rights of
the Palestinians such as
monetary compensation and
freedom to leave refugee
camps and lead a normal
life. Javits welcomed
America's renewed friend-
. ship with the Arab states and
said it was beneficial to
.Israel as well.
According to the text of the
i Nixon - Brezhnev com¬
munique received in
Washington, the section on
