Soviets Attempting To Stifle Information:
BUENOS AIRES (WNS) - The ninth plenary |
session of the Latin American Jewish Congress ended
here with resolutions protesting the prison sentence
given Nazi.hunter Beate Klarsfeld in Germany and
expressing solidarity with Israel and the Jews in the
Soviet Union and Syria. The $500 Latin American
human rights prize for 1974 was awarded to .Martin
Luis,Guz'man, a Mexican senator and former chair¬
man of the Mexican-Israel Culture Institute.
JERUSALEM (WNS) - The 140 delegates to the
Conference of the Europe-Israel Parliamentary
Friendship Association ended a two-day conclave here
by urging European governments not to give in to Arab;
economic pressures aimed!against- Israel. The
representatives of 13 European parliaments urged
support of Israel and called for direct negotiations
between Israel and the Arab states. A small group of
delegateeees agreed to keep in constant touch on ef¬
forts to help Soviet Jews to emigrate to Israel.
NEW YORK (WNS) - The Joint Advisory Com¬
mittee of the Synagogue Council of America and the
National Jewish Community Relations Advisory
Council and the National Jewish Commission on Law
and Public Affairs (COLP) have asked the U.S.
Supreme Court to reject an appeal from a district court
ruling that the provisions in the 1958 federal Humane
Slaughter Act permitting schechita (kosher
. slaughtering) was constitutional. The appeal was filed
by a group of eight taxpayers, the Society of Animal
rights and the Committee for a Wall of Separation
between Church and State" in America. The U.S.
District Court for the Southern District of New York
had ruled that schechita was "historically related to
considerations of humaneness" and that by allowing it
. to continue congress "neither established the tenets of
the faith nor interfered with the exercise of any other."
Soviet Authorities Detain Ohio Students; Appeal
Made To Hurok For Soviet Jewish Artists
WASHINGTON (JTA) —
Two students from Ohio who
were detained for two-and-a-
half hours and released by
Soviet authorities in Kiev
arrived in London July 23
where they plan to file a
protest with the United
States Embassy there,
according to the father of
one of the students. Dr. Louis
Rosenblum told the Jewish
Telegraphic Agency by
telephone from Cleveland
that his daughter Miriam,
&
Allon In U.S. For Talks On
Next Stage Of Geneva
Jerusalem (JTA5 —
Deputy Premier . and
Foreign Minister Yigal Allon
left July 25 for the United
States for meetings with
Secretary of State Henry A.
Kissinger, Defense
Secretary James R.
Schlesinger and Treasury
Secretary William Simon. It
was not determined at the
time of his departure
whether Allon would meet
President Nixon. Allon is due
to arrive in Washington July
28. Political analysts in
Jerusalem noted that Allon
decided to make the visit as "
previously planned despite
the latest developments in
.the Watergate affair and the
fact that the center of in¬
ternational interest is
focussed on the situation in
Cypnus.
It is expected here that
Alton's discussions will
center around the next stage
of the Geneva peace con¬
ference. Although no
dramatic results are ex¬
pected, it is assumed that
one of the main topics will be
whether the next round of
talks would take place with
Egypt, Jordan or both.
Before leaving Israel, Allon
said that he would not bring
any specific plans for talks
with Jordan. He said he
! would merely discuss with
Kissinger the various
alternatives for talks with
King Hussein. Israel in¬
dicated last week that she is
ready to hold negotiations
with Jordan, and that she no
longer insists that a further
round of talks with Egypt,
take priority. The reasons
for this shift, observers note,
is that the normalization
process oh the Suez Canal is
proceeding slowly and Israel
prefers not to continue the
dialogue with Egypt until it
can be better determined
how normalization would
take effect.
The issue of a Palestinian
entity, which was discussed
at the Cabinet session July
21, will also undoubtedly be
raised by Allon. Another
subject to be discussed will
be implementation of
American promises to in¬
crease economic and
military aid to Israel. Allon
is expected to be out of the
country for 10 days. His
duties will be handled by
Premier Yitzhak Rabin.
Prior to his American visit,
Allon will spend three days
iri London, in what was
described as a "purely
private, visit." Alton's son
and daughter are currently
in Britain.
At his departure at Ben
Gurion Airport, Allon said he
would certainly talk to U.S.
officials about the need for
secure    and    defensible

20, and Sheldon Benjamin,
18, both students at the
University of Cincinnati,
were trying to find out the
needs of Soviet Jews who are
studying Hebrew at ulpanim
throughout the Soviet Union.
Dr; Rosenblum said ^n
Moscow alone there are 800
students of all ages but
mostly young people lear¬
ning Hebrew. He said they
desperately need Hebrew
books and students have
written; frequently  from
Moscow arid Leningrad to
the Israeli government
seeking the books.
The two students were
arrested at a farewell party
for Zolo Torevsky, a Kiev
film director who was
leaving the next day for
Israel. Dr. Rosenblum said
the two students were
charged with stealing
several items from the
home, but there was nothing
in the apartment since
everything had already been
Palestinian Question Debated In Israel
By David Landau
JERUSALEM (JTA) -
The government's policy on
the Palestinian question as
enunciated by the Cabinet
statement July 21 was
challenged two days later by
four urgent motions for the
agenda'in the Knesset. All of
them were comfortably
voted to committee despite^a
small number of' Labor:
abstentions and ' ^bne
defection. The government's
position, as approved by the
Cabinet, is that Israel would
continue to seek peace in the
Middle East by negotiations
with Jordan ■ as the
representative of the
Palestinian Arabs and that it
would not negotiate with
"terrorist organizations."
Among the proposers of
motions for the agenda was
Knesseter Moshe Dayan who
stated his own ideas on the
West Bank and Palestinian
issues—but he agreed in the
end that his motion be voted
to committee rather than be
debated by the plenum and
thus avoided a parliamen¬
tary confrontation between
himself and the government
arid party colleagues.
Replying to,all the motiafflb
7.T- front Shmuel Tamir-'of
Likud, Yitzhak Raphael of
the National ' Religious
Party, and Nissim Eliad of
the Independent Liberal
Parry — Foreign Minister
Yigal Allon said that the
Cabinet's statement July 21
had not been new, but had
rather "clarified" policy. It
showed, he said, that the
government recognized the
problem and sought a
solution to it based on the
expression of the Palestinian
national identity within the
framework of one Arab state
east of Israel.
Allon stated further that
Israel could no longer be
accused by its critics of
ignoring the Palestinian
problem arid the Cabinet
statement would facilitate.

shipped to Israel. Dr.
Rosenblum said the students
had been "roughed up
soriie." Dr. Rosenblum, a
former president of the
Union of Councils for Soviet
Jewry, said the arrest was
part of the Soviet policy to
try to discourage tourists
from meeting with Soviet
Jews. The two students, on
'leaving London, arrived in
Israel to work on kibbutzim.
NEW YORK (JTA) -
Soviet authorities have
taken a new series of actions
aimed at stifling information
about the situation of Jewish
activists in the USSR, ac¬
cording to reports from the
Student Struggle for Soviet
Jewry. The Kremlin is
worried that the publicity
surrounding their treatment
of the activists will increase
chances that the Jackson
Amendment and other
legislation restricting trade
credits will be passed by
Congress, the SSSJ reported
July 25. On July  19. the
