WASHINGTON (WNS)—The State Department has
disagreed with Israel's contention that Syria has
., violated the disengagement agreement by moving
mortars and heavy aetillery into the buffer zone bet¬
ween the two countries. The Department said it is
"satisfied" the agreement is "workirig well." But
Department spokesman Robert Anderson refused to
confirm or deny the Israeli reports that large quan¬
tities of Soviet arms are being shipped into Syria.
Israel, However, has been taking a tough stand against
what (t considers Syrian violations. In one case Israel
refused to remove a minefield from the buffer zone
because the Syrians placed heavy mortar batteries
into a zone where the agreement calls for a thinning of
armaments, according to a report from Tel Aviv.
While agreeing that most of Syria's violations have
been minor, Israel is particularly concerned about
Syria's failure to re-establish the civilian population of
Kuneitra and the surrounding villages which Israel
> relinquished as part of the agreement.
NEW YORK (WNS) - The Jewish Community
Council and the Board of Rabbis in Brooklyn have
issued a joint statement warning Jewish religious
and lay organizations to eliminate Las Vegas Nite fund
raising operations which the statement said violated
both state law and Jewish ethical traditions. The
warning came after two recent incidents involving
such fund-raising activities at two Brooklyn
synagogues. First-a reputed Mafia figure, Steven
Cirillo, 31, was shot to death during a Las Vegas Nite
event at Congregation B'nai Israel of Sheepshead Bay.
A week later police aided a similar event at the
Hebrew Alliance Synagogue of Coney Island arresting
10 persons. Police sources said that it appeared that
such gambling games were conducted occasionally at "-
churches   and   synagogues   by'organized- crime
' elements, but there was no connection between Jewish
sponsors of the game nights and crime figures;

Ford Involved In Soviet Emigration Issue:
Jackson: Making Progress Toward Agreement
By Joseph Polakoff
WASHINGTON; (JTA) -
President Ford has per¬
sonally involved himself in
the U.S. effort to negotiate a
solution to the Soviet
emigration issue and "very
good progress" is being
made toward an agreement
on it between the two
countries. This was
disclosed on Aug. 15 at a
White House news con¬
ference by Sens. Henry M.
Jackson (D. Wash.),
Abraham Ribicoff (D.
Conn.) and Jacob K. Javits
(R. NY) upon concluding a

Egypt, Israel Each To Receive
$250 Million In Economic Aid
B? Joseph Polakoff
WASHINGTON, (JTA) -
The Senate Foreign
Relations Committee and
the House Foreign Affairs
Committee, each with
foreign aid bills under
consideration, have both
approved $250 million in
economic aid to Israel and
Egypt. The sum is $200
million above the Nixon
Administration's previously
requested aid for Israel. The
Senate body also approved
Aug*-.13,7$10<>. million, 4n
military aid grants to Israel
and $200 million to finance
low-interest loans to Israel to
buy U.S. military hardware.
One of a series of policy
amendments approved by
the Senate committee would
phase out over a three-year
period the U.S. military aid
program which now goes to
48 nations. A committee
source told the Jewish
Telegraphic Agency that the
aid missions, known as
Military   Assistance  Ad¬
visory Groups (MAAG), are
currently active in 48,
countries but Israel is hot
one of them. The approval of
the military and economic
aid to Israel came as the
Foreign Relations Com¬
mittee and the Senate Ap¬
propriations Defense Sub¬
committee approved cuts in
the military and foreign aid
bills. The sub-committee
slashed the Defense
Department's budget by
more than $5 billion in ap¬
proving* a $81.9 billion ap;
.-propriatiohs - bill. The
Foreign Relations Com¬
mittee trimmed $750 million
, from the $3,225 billion asked
by former President Nixon
for foreign aid.
None of these cuts,
however, apply to Israel or
Egypt which were
specifically named to
receive the identical
economic aid sums. The
House committee so far has
not considered military aid.

ference with Ford and
Secretary of State Henry A.
Kissinger. "We're moving in
the direction of an
agreement," declared
Jackson, author of the
Jackson Amendment to the
Trade Reform Bill pending
in the Senate, "There has
been significant Russian
movement. We hope to
resolve thematter in time by
this Congress," he said. The
life of the present Congres
ends Jan, 3, 1975. Jackson
disclosed that Ford met Aug.
X4 with the Soviet Am¬
bassador, Anatoly F.
Dobrynin who, the Senator
said, returned earlier than
expected from Moscow
"largely for this subject" of
emigration. Dobrynin also
met with Kissinger on Aug.
12 only hours after arriving
from Moscow. Both
meetings were at Dobrynin's
request and it is believed
that the Soviet envoy
"brought something" from
Moscow on the emigration-
trade issue. Jackson
revealed that "certain
discretions" for the
President will be worked out
with Congress for his
negotiation with the Soviet
government but he and the
other two Senators, leaders
in thf Senate for the
emigration measure, in¬
sisted that the Jackson
Amendment "per se will be
in the bill."
"We are exploring the
possibilities on how to relate
the understanding between
the President and the
Congress and between the
President with the
Russians," Jackson said.
This means, he observed,
that Congress would grant
