Group Says 1 Discrimination Is Not Halted
NEW YORK (JTA) — The Americaji Jewish Congress has called for a Congressional Inves- tigp.tion of what it termed the Federal Government's "failure" to take effective action in "prevent¬ ing growing religious and other discrimination against American citizens by foreign nations."
The organization's national ad¬ ministrative and exeoutive com¬ mittees adopted a resolution at its joint quarterly meeting, urg¬ ing a "thorough probe of apparent government involvement in the assault on the rights of American citizens by Arab League countries and other lands in Asia and Afri¬ ca." The resolution called for a Congressional investigation of these charges:
1. THE STATE Department has entered into a "gentleman's agree¬ ment" with Pakistan not to as¬ sign any members of the Jewish faith to American diplomatic or other posts in that country. Sim¬ ilar "understandings," it was charged, have been entered into with Arab League countries and may have been reached as well with Morocco and Afghanistan.
2. The Defense Department has acceded to an official request by Saudi Arabia that no U.S. Jewish personnel be assigned to the American air base at Dharan.
3. The Agriculture Department has permitted discriminatory ship charter contracts barring American flag ships that have touched at Israel ports from car¬ rying free gifts of American foods and other commodities to Arab countries.
4. THE NAVY Department haa included cancellation clauses in oil cargo contracts with United States shippers which have served to enforce Arab League sanctions against American flagships which have traded with Israel.
"Individually theae acta are evi¬ dence of a cancerous condition In which the rights of American citizens are put on the interna¬ tional bargaining counter In ex¬ change for an illusory commer¬ cial or diplomatic advantage," the American Jewish Congress state¬ ment declared.
"Together, they make up a dis¬ turbing pattern of discrimination Including an Administration Pol¬ icy of apparent tnvolvement in the attempt by some foreign gov¬ ernments to impose second class citizenship on American Jewa and to penalize Americans of other faiths who wish to trade with Israel," the statement adde|J.
The statement noted that the Navy\had aimounced cancellation of the so-called Haifa clause but said that this begged the real question, which, the American Jewish Congress said, was wheth¬ er or not United States Govern¬ ment policy was in comformity with American standards of non^ discrimination  for all.

Spokesman For Government Issues Denial
WASHINGTON (JTA) — State Department spokesman Lincoln White sought to deny American Jewish C^jngress charges that the Department discriminates against Americans of Jewish faith In as¬ signment of U.S. personnel to Moslem countries.
Despite evidence to the con¬ trary, White contended that the United States has made no antl- Jewlsh agreement with Saudi Arabia. He aaid the United States denied the existence of any ar¬ rangement with Saudi Arabia to bar American military personnel of Jewish faith from that coun¬ try. He added, however, that Saudi Arabia "in exercise of ita sovereign rights" had "normally refused to Issue entry visas to Persona of Jewish faith."
Although highly placed Individ¬ uals in the executive department are fighting a new policy to bar Jewa from aaslgnment to Pakis¬ tan, White contended that no such discrimination existed. He offered as "proof the comment that some U. S. officials who haVe aerved in Pakistan recalled there were some Jewa there. (The issue involving Paklatan pertains to a new policy that emerged in recent weeks when an individual waa in¬ formed he could hot be assigned to Paklatan because he was Jew¬ ish.)
While defending Moslem states from charges of-antl-Jewlsh prSi-' Uces, White said "the United States does not condone discrim¬ inatory actions by foreign gov¬ ernments against Its citizens on grounds of race or creed and It makes every effort to eliminate through friendly means all such practices."
