Lane Ave. By Joseph Polahoff WASHINGTON, (JTA) - Secretary of State Henry A. Kissinger appealed to Congress Dec. 3 to keep the Jackson - Mills - Vanik legislation intact in the pending Trade Reform Bill and not engage in questioning that may jeopardize what he described as "a satisfactory compromise" that had been achieved "on an un¬ precedented and ex¬ traordinarily sensitive set of issues." He said it was "now essential to let the provisions and understandings of the compromise proceed in practice." The Secretary, who read a prepared statement and submitted to questioning before the Senate Finance Committee Dec. 3 was referring to the exchange of letters between himself and Sen. Henry M. Jackson (D. Wash.) on Oct. 18 in which an understanding was reached that the Soviet Union would "hot TfampeFoF restrict the emigration of Soviet citizens including Jews, in return for which the Soviet Union would be granted U.S. trade benefits and credits. The Finance Committee approved the Trade Reform Bill with the understanding that the Senate would not act on it until Kissinger submitted himself to questions from the committee, ' a proviso requested by Sen. Harry Byrd (Ind., Va.). In his prepared statement, Kissinger revealed that the "basis" for his correspon¬ dence with Jackson arose from his conversations with Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko in Geneva last April in Cyprus last May, and Moscow last July. Under questioning by various Senators, he said he had also discussed the matter with Soviet Am¬ bassador Anatoly Dobrynin, and that Soviet Communist Party Secretary Leonid I. Brezhnev had made "analogous statements" to former President Nixon, to President Ford and to the Secretary of State Kissinger also conceded, under questioning, that the un¬ derstanding on emigration with the Russians depends principally on "faith." In his prepared statement, however, he emphasized that "there will be ample opportunity to test in practice what has been set down on paper and to debate these matters again for stock - taking foreseen in the legislation" which requires the President to report to Congress on Soviet emigration practices, The only "paper" involved, however, is Kissinger's exchange of letters with Jackson. The Secretary, emphasized that there is no "formal agreement" bet- (CONTINUED ON PAGE S) New Mideast Conflict Imminent Unless Negotiations Take Place U.S.S.R. Circumventing U.S. Accord LONDON, (JTA)-Soviet authorities are being ac¬ cused of various forms of harassment, intimidation and isolation to prevent Jews from applying for exit visas to go to Israel. According to Jewish sources in the Soviet Union, these methods, exemplified in one instance by .malpractice and bribery charges brought against Dr. Mikhail Stern in Vinnitsa, Ukraine, are being used to circumvent the Soviet un¬ dertakings, cited in the Oct. 18 exchange of letters bet¬ ween U.S. Secretary of State Henry A. Kissinger and Sen. Henry M. Jackson, to end harassment and allow Jews and others to emigrate. Dr. Stehij 56, who was to have gone on trial Dec. 2, had his trial'postponed to Dec. 10 ' becauseofillness.,Heissaid to be suffering from' tuberculosis and internal bleeding in addition to a heart conditon. The physician has been charged under clause 168, sect. 2 of the Soviet Penal Code which [ deals with bribery and, carries a maximum penalty of death. He has also been charged under clause 143 of the Ukrainian Penal Code which carries a maximum penalty of ten years im¬ prisonment and exile for up to five years. The allegations against Dr. Stern, which Jewish sources say are , totally unfounded, claim that he took bribes from patients to provide them .with generally unobtainable drugs. s Another unsubstantiated charge that he had deliberately poisoned patients in order to treat them was dropped by the authorities following a world-wide protest. Jewish sources said that Dr. Stern was arrested last May because his sons had applied for emigration visas. His case is seen "as an attempt by Soviet authorities to in¬ timidate other Soviet Jews from applying for visas, the implication being that if they do, members of their families could be arrested on trumped - up charges, the sources-said.

Y. — A new Mid-East conflict appears imminent unless negotiations between Israel, the Arabs, including the PLO, take place soon - and there can be no peace without a solution to the Palestinian problem. These were some, of the -.opinions-.-expressed in the . course of a discussion bet¬ ween Sana Hassan, an Egyptian Political Science student at Harvard and Dr. Arthur Hertzberg, Adjunct Professor of History at Columbia University as part ot a symposium sponsored by the Academic Committee of the American Section of the World Jewish Congress at Brooklyn College. The participants differed sharply on whether such negotiations first require a PLO aban¬ donment of terrorism and the recognition of Israel as a State or whether the Israelis must assume the "risks for peace" by talking with Arafat without preconditions on the problem of the Palestinians. The symposium was held before an overflow audience of 500 students, professors and a number of the University's Arabs and Palestinians studying at the School. Chairman Israel Singer, in his introduction, explained that these forums were part of the World Jewish Congress' "Outreach" program to place before Jewish students and academics both the existing and projected concerns facing the Jewish, community here and abroad.

"I think that in the final end, recognition must be granted, but that Israel must start negotiations without that recognition," Ms. Hassan asserted. "It has nothing to lose; the alter¬ native appears to be a pre¬ empted strike, and this will solve nothing at all. I recognize the difficulty Israelis have in dealing with people they consider terrorists and murderers, but they are not the first nation to .have to overcome this repugnance, such as the British in dealing with the Mau-MaU or the United' States in finally dealing with the Viet Cong."

Rabin also said that Israel has to decide whatiprice it is willing to pay for a further accord with Egypt before Soviet Communist Party Secretary Leonid x I.

Rabin acknowledged that President Ford was in- ■', terested in avoiding a crisis' with the Arab oil producing states because Ford is concerned with the success of his economic policies during the next two years. The Premier stressed that it did no good to exaggerate the power of American Jewry and denounced Likud's urging for "calling on American Jewry" every) time Israel faced a crisis. Rabin called Gen.
