JWV Leader Issues Statement On Talk
WASHINGTON, (JTA) — Malcolm A. Tarlov, national com¬ mander of the Jewish War Veterans, issued a supplementary statement on his "Impressions" arising from a meeting with Presi¬ dent Johnson last week. He said the JWV delegation reported to the President on the continued support of the organization for the President's policy in Viet Nam.
"We discussed with the President th6 U.S. treaty commit¬ ments In Southeast Asia.  The
President observed that the United States must live up to its written agreements In South- east Asia just as it has to live .up to the commitments to pro¬ vide military support for free •world countries In the Middle East and elsewhere, even where our country has other than for- "mal rnllitairy assistance commit¬ ments. It was mentioned that the problems of maintaining Ameri¬ can commitments against Com¬ munist aggression in the Far East, in the Near East; and else¬ where in the world are all inter- related and interdependent," Tarlov stated.
"WB ASSITBED the President that JWV plans ta. bring its message to the entire Jewish community concerning the im¬ portance of supporting the Pres¬ ident's policy in Viet Nam as well as elsewhere," the JWV state- irient said. Tarlov stressed to the President the recent JWV resolu¬ tion stating that "we endorse the courageous action of Presi¬ dent Johnson in increasing our military committnent, while searching, every, possible IchtuJT

.tliat niust be negotiated to end .the conflict in Viet Nam." Washington Orttloal of Johnson's Bequest to Jews on Viet Nam WASHINGTON, (JTA)—Dis¬ agreement with President John- son's request for a publicity cam¬ paign by American Jewry in support of the Administration's involvement in Viet Nam was indicated here by a numl)er of State Department officials.
Such officials thought the President was mindful of domes¬ tic political considerations. From a foreign policy viewpoint, how¬
ever, they thought that purely "Jewish" expressions within the United States might Injure dip¬ lomatic objectives in Arab states where the United States was trying to win support for its Viet Nam stand. •
IT WAS POINTED out that if Jewish personalities and leaders, including businessmeh and Zion¬ ists, publish statements identify¬ ing themselves as Jews with the U.S. position on Viet Nam, this might be exploited by Arab prop¬ aganda and Hanoi sympathizers to depict the war as /"backed" by Zionism, reaction, colonialism, and imperialism."
A view emerging hi the State Department, in the wake of pub¬ lication !':bf the President's re¬ quest to the Jewish War Veter¬ ans, was that Jews should ad¬ here as indlvldu£ils to their (jOV- errunent's commitments in Viet Nam but that a special Jewish pro-Viet Nam campaign might prove "counter-productive."
