Two Jewish Writers Given Nobel Prize
STOCKHOLM, (JTA) — King Gustav VI Adolf, of Sweden, presented last weekend the 1966 Nobel Prize for Literature to the two Jewish co-winners — the noted IsraeU writer Shmuel Yosef Agnon and Miss Nelly Sachs, Jewish poet, a refugee from Germany who now lives in Sweden — in ^n impressive ceremony in the Con¬ cert HaU here, which was followed by a formal banquet in the Gold¬ en Auditorium of the City Hall. Mr. Agnon, 78, writes in Hebrew; Miss Sachs, 75, writes- in Ger¬
man. They share the ?60,000 No¬ bel Prize award.
In attendance and among the participants were not only all the members of the Swedish roy¬ al family but also the most dis¬ tinguished of Sweden's writers, scientists, university professors and members of the Government. Six newly-elected Nobel Laur¬ eates were honored. Three were Americans, one Frenchman—and two Jews.
SHATBD UP front, side by side in the Copcerit Hall, were Mr. Agnon, the Gallcian-bom Is¬ raeU, wearing a velvet yarmulko atop his formal white-t'e attire^ and Miss Sachs — both dimin- tive figures of great dignity.
Miss Sachs was called up first and,   with absolute, composure, bowed to the Wng as she receiv¬ ed her award. In a brief, gradous i^H'' i^ speech, she recalled that she was kl ''Mia.jtefugee from Nazi Germany— < ".'\ifcffii|i(ti.mentionhig either HiUer ¦¦     otMMmt<r- ^^ that the cere- ^      nibnj^i|Kbft^'date with her 7?th^^bJMal^Hfe».i:came Mr. ' "^ AghodS^^^^w^^,.":" ¦'¦; ¦¦¦ "¦
BOiil^i^f-SEVEaAIi' 'times both to?; the king and the cele- bratedi'cbmpany, Mr. Agnon, who
is a deeply devout Jew, opened his remarks by noting that a Jew could not enjoy an occasion of meeting a king without an appropriate blessing. In Hebrew, he recited that benediction: "Blessed art Thou, O Lord, our God, King of the universe, Who hast given of Thy glory to a k?ng of flesh and blood." Mr. Agnon then continued: "To you, distinguished sages of the Swed¬ ish Academy, I shy: Blessed be He Who lent His wisdom to flesh and blood."

Awareness Is Key Factor Rabbi Says
Last Simday in the sanctuary of Tlfereth Israel the commu¬ nity joined Jews across the country in a rally to protest antl-semitism In the Soviet Un- :ion.l...I.'„;,..,: ,v .r.;'..-1/^: -. :1,'.,-]...,
Rabbi Hersohel Schacter, re¬ cently elected president of the Religious Zionists of America, was the keynote speaker at the demonstration.
IN AN INTEBVIEW with the Chronicl€i prior to the start of ,the rally he said that Jews are the only group whose religion Is stifled. While there are other minority groups and religion is not advocated by the Soviet gov¬ ernment, he stated, other groups are allowed to pursue their reli¬ gious life — the Jews are not.
When asked if the recent con¬ cern of the Jews hi the United States and throughout the world has had any effect on the situa¬ tion in the Soviet Union, Rabbi Schacter said that there have been encouraging signs. There is no real way to truly know the sitttation, but he said that we have evidence that the Rus¬ sians are very toudiy about neg¬ ative public opinion in this coun- tiy, thus the reason for rallies sudi as this one.
Asked about the role the Am¬ erican Jew can play in the strug¬ gle. Rabbi Schacter replied "awareness." We must recog¬ nize the situation, he said, and we should learn as much as pos¬ sible about it.
This rally was the second in (Columbus and was sponsored by the Council of Organizations of the UJFC in cooperation with the UJFCTs Community Reliar tions Committee.

JERUSALEM, (JTA) — Is¬ rael's Cabinet discussed at its weekly meeting here Sunday a report to the effect that the Arab states reached a defense agreement last weekend, imder which the Arab states would send military forces into Jordan, "in an emergency" even if Jor¬ dan made no request for such aid.
Prime Minister Levi Eshkol evaluated that report at the Cab¬ inet meeting and also noted that two mines were found last week on Israel's side of the Jordanian border. The mines, he said, were the first discovered in Israel since the United Nations Secur¬ ity Council's recent deliberations on Jordan's complaint against Israel's raid Into Jordan on No¬ vember 13.
WmLE NO announcement was made about the Cabinet's reactions to the Arab agreement, it was beUeved here that the Government would not alter Its attitude regiarding such a pos¬ sible development as speUed out two weeks ago by Mr. Eshkol. The Premier had said a fortnight ago that Israel would regard en¬ try of non-Jordanian troops tato Jordan as a change in the status quo  along  the  Israeli  borders.
Sunday's CJabinet meeting de¬ cided that the next Independence Day parade, in the sprbig, would be held In Jerusalem but would adhere to the provisions of the
Israeli - Jordanian armistiice agreement of 1949. Under that pact, Jerusalem Is a "defense area" limited as to armaments and excluding war planes, rock¬ ets, artiUery exceeding 25-pound- ers and field guns.
Eosygin Says Road Open For Family Reunification
LONDON, (JTA) — FoUow- hig articles in Pravda and the Izvestia — the two leading So¬ viet newspapers — the' Komsb- molskaya Pravda, organ of!the Young Communists, yesterday also carried the text of Premier Kosygin's statement made dur¬ ing his recent visit In Paris In which he said, on December 3, that the Soviet Government will permit reunification of families by permitting Soviet citizens to go abroad to join family m«n- bers In other countries.
The text of Premier Kosy- gin's statement as quoted In the Soviet newspapers, reads: "As to reunification of famUies, If some families want to come to¬ gether, or even leave the Soviet Union, that way is open for them and no problem arises here." This official version of Mr. Ko¬ sygin's remarks differs from the way a French interpreter ren¬ dered them at the Paris news conference.
