OOL8.4 0, 43211 , \ EXOH' ', VOL.52 NO.39 SEPTEMBER 19,1974-T1SHR13 WASHINGTON (WNS) — President Ford in his first Rosh Hashana message to American Jevyry said "On the occasion of the,High Holy Days, it is my pleasure to send spedai greetings to my fellow Americans of the Jewish faith. Your inheritance of accumulated wisdom and moral precepts makes you strong guardians of the ideals of righteousness, justice and human dignity. This has given you a special sensitivity to the 'social needs of each generation. And this has also been the guiding force behind your impressive contributions to the vitality of our American democracy. "These solemn days of worship which you celebrate have a message for all Americans. They exhort us to search our soul, to render an inner accounting, and a self-examination of the standards we profess and the actions we perform. They invite us to return to righteousness and truth and to a rebirth in the spirit of neighborliness and brotherhood. They remind us that we are in.God's hands and that he has given us our lives in trust to use in his service. ■ ."At a. time which urgently tests our will as a people to put humanity's interest above self-interest, we can be greatly sustained and guided by the traditions of valor and resilience that mark the history of the Jewish people." SANTIAGO (WNS) —The reason given by the ruling Chilean junta for banning the film "Fidler on the Roof" is that "It was considered to contain a message clearly ' favorable to the Marxist tendencies." This remark was contained in a letter from Col. Pedro Ewing.Hodar, the government's secretary, to Gol Sinay, president of the Chilean Jewish Community. Later Sinay and Rabbi Angel Dreiman met with Chilean President Augusto Pinochet Ugarte in an unsuccessful attempt to convince him that the film was: not Marxist inspired - a)jdHhttt>lfebiuTnrag.vjs^^ abroad as having anti-Semitic tendencies. Recording to Sinay,' Ugarte said the film was not; favorable to Jewish tradition because one of the herb's daughters married a person of another faith and another married a revolutionary who did not accept the traditional marriage bonds. Ugarte also took exception, to a sequence in which he said the intervention of military forces was magnified with the clubbing of young students carrying red banners. He said under the present situation in Chile "the junta cannot accept any factor of dissention," Sinay reported. Town Hall Format At The Federation's Annual Meeting Myer Mellman, General Chairman of the Columbus Jewish Federation's Annual Meeting, announced that the majority of the evening will be devoted to an open-forum discussion of community problems and priorities. "We are very pleased," said Mr. Mellman, "to have our Town Hall Meeting chaired by Judie (Mrs. Gerald) Swedlow, who was General Chairman of last year's very successful Annual Meeting." This year's meeting will take place Sunday evening, October 20th, at 7:30 p.m. at Beth Jacob Synagogue. - Mrs. Swedlow, explaining the Town Hall meeting, said, "We have found that there are certain problem areas in which our Jewish com¬ munity has a vital interest, areas of high priority on the community's agenda of concerns. These area in¬ clude Israel and Over-seas - Jewry, Jewish education, the Jewish Family, and problems of the aged. In order to be aware of and Ford Reaffirms To Rabin That U.S. Will Continue Ongoing Relationship With Israel by Joseph Polakoff WASHINGTON, (JTA) - President Ford reaffirmed to Israeli Premier Yitzhak Rabin Sept. 12 that the United'States will continue its ongoing military relationship with Israel. That ' development was announced by the White House following a 75-minute meeting here between the President and the' Israeli leader. The White House also announced that they will meet again Sept. 13 to complete' their discussions. The White House said that their meeting involved a "general discussion" of the Middle East situation but the brief announcement did not disclose details. Con¬ tinuation of American military support for Israel had been forecast in advance of Rabin's visit but its dimensions are still un¬ certain. According to some press reports, Israel is asking for $1.5 billion an¬ nually in military assistance for the next five years. A high Israeli official told the Jewish Telegraphic Agency, however, that the kind and amounts of armaments are under discussion, not their current costs. U.S.-Israeli military discussions were expanded when it was reported that Gen. Mor- dechai Hod, an advisor to Rabin, has been meeting here with Defense Secretary James Schlesinger. Hod, commander of Israel's southern command, was not named in the origipal list of Rabin's entourage. The White House announcement came, against a background of reports that the Soviet Union has resumed ship¬ ments to Egypt of war planes and spare parts for the planes, tanks and missile installations Moscow has (CONTINUED ON PAGE 14) U.S.-Soviet Trade Negotiations In Last Stages Toward Agreement by Joseph Polakoff WASHINGTON, (JTA) — Specialists at the Capitol on the trade-emigration issue confirm that the U.S.-Soviet negotiations are in their last stages toward an agreement but they vary considerably on important aspects. Leaders of organizations Campaign To Release "Prisoners of Conscience9' NEW YORK, (JTA) — The Greater New York Con¬ ference on Soviet Jewry on Sept. 11 launched a major campaign tb seek the release of Soviet "Prisoners of Conscience" in which 30 Republican and Democratic congressmen from New York City, Long Island, Westchester, and Rockland Counties each adopted one of the prisoners and pledged to work in his behalf .At a press conference launching the campaign, Eugene Gold, Conference chairman, said that he believed that the release of Silva Zalmanson, who arrived win Israel on Sept. 10, after serving four years of her 10 year sen¬ tence, "is the direct result of the concern and interest of the American public at large and especially members of Congress" who worked for/ her release. Rep. Hugh L. Carey (D.NY), who Sept. 10. won the Democratic Party's nomination for Governor of New York, said Congress "will not give materials and goods to the Soviet Union" until she allows every person who wishes to emigrate to do so. Rep.

Information leaks to selected media circulating in major Jewish population centers have indicated that "at least 60,000 Jews and others could emigrate yearly" under the "compromise" riqw being worked out. Responding to questions by the Jewish Telegraphic Agency, some specialists asserted that this figure is accurate. But many more characterized the figure as "neither a floor nor va ceiling" or as "Misleading" because "what is important is not the number but what is behind it." Those specialists who say the figure is "accurate" also say they believe an agreement will be reached promptly, possibly within a day or two, to meet legislative requirements to pass the Trade Reform Bill at the current session of Congress before it recesses Oct. 15 for the Nov. elections. Most others, however, declare they will not be pushed into an agreement and that "the thing is not all- wrapped up by any means." Aspects that remain un¬ decided include whether or not to keep secret the letters of understanding on the Soviet position that will be exchanged between Sen. . Henry M.
