Javits Raps Congress For , Its Inaction
BY TRUDE B. FELDMAN
Ohronide's White House Correspondent
The 90th Congress opened with a bang last week here on dapitol Hill. Even before the opening gavel was heard. Sen. Jacob K. Javits (Rep. N.Y.) fired a strong and widely-read'letter to Secre tary of State Dean Rusk,chid¬ ing the Department for its !«¦ action in the face of the expand¬ ing Middle East crisis.    >
He posed a series of ques'tions on .United States policy on to the'Palestine Liberation Organi¬ zation and the Palestine Lil)era- tion Army which could prove embarrasing to the Administra¬ tion.
XEDB  JAVITS   letter' —   his
second in recent weeks to Mr.
Rusk on Middle East policy —
stressed    that    the'  hnpending
withdrawal of British forces from
the  areas will  create a power
vacuum which the Soviets, the
Communist Chinese and Nasser's
Egypt are all seekhig to fill for
1 ?5i;''.their own ends. Sen. Javits also
iKil Jie^id4!.*hat:.;.'-4ntoaslng ]v- tensions,

i?|y)r tween them and Israel are'threat' ening .the peace. '',        '
He urged that United States policy should ," be more active and based on a clearer statement of our interests and commit¬ ments."
IN FABTIOULABy the Javits note urged a reconvening of Great Britain, France and the United States, the three powers who in 1950 issued the tripartite declaration guaranteeing Middle East borders. Th^se three na¬ tions would meet to consider ways' of meeting present and up¬ coming crises, would reaffirm their guarantees to Israel and the Middle East nations and would, ,lt is hoped, invite other powers (including the USSR), to the conference table-when feas¬ ible.
The tone of the Javits ^letter confirms what this columnist was told bythe Senator himself — that he is intensifying his de¬ bate with the State Department on Middle East policy. In this endeavor, he is sure to have general support as has already lieen indicated by an editorial in the "New York Times."
THERE ARE indications of, a hot ^d heavy year ,ln the na¬ tion's capital, both in the House and in the Senate, there is evi¬ dence of a growing dissatisfac¬ tion with the effectiveness of the Arab boycott legislation enacted by the 89th Congress. Senator;^ Harrison Williams (Dem, N. J.) and Javits have indicated that they vidll continue to pursue this subject.

168,000 Increase Called For In %7
The Board of Trustees of the United Jewish Ftmd and Council adopted a goal of $797,(X)0 for the 1967 Campaigh. "Nine point three" is the magic phrase for the Campaign which is now gettbig under way. ,It represents the percentage increase over' the 1966 achievement of $729,000'to be raised to'meet the goal of $797,000. Edward Schlezinger, chairman of the .^locations Comniittee and of the Budget Steering Committee which recommended the goal io the Executive Committee, declared that "the process ,by which the 1967> goal was deter¬ mined is a very representative method and permits many facets of community^ leadership and opinion to pa(rticlpate in the decision as to how the entire community relates to the needs of local, national and overseas agencies which receive financial support from Campaign Funds." HERMAN M. KATZ, president of the United Jevirlsh Fund and Council, stated that "The Cam¬ paign Goal of $797,000 is on ar¬ bitrary figure; muph discussion preceded its approval 'liy" the Board, which represents eVRry climate of opinion prevalent in our community.
"In recognition of this fact, he stated, we are confident that the Columbus Jewish Conununity wUl rally behind the dedston of the/Board..-^iand',that the 1967 caii^l>aign', )^al^o{ $797,0to, 'real- Istlc^ly s^t,' will be, achieved." Katz also called, attention io a new and exciting development in the fund-raising drive. "For the first time," he said, "included in the-proposed budget is an allo¬ cation for formal programs of Jewish education other than the Columbus Hebrew School', a tra¬ ditional and long-time beneficiary of funds from the United Jewish Fund 'and Council. The Board has recognized the necessity of conununity support for institu¬ tions which give chUdren a more intensive background ih Hebrew and related Jewish studies. We believe it is a giant step in the right direction — a long-overdue step — and in concert with ma¬ jor communities all over the country. Columbus is now on Us way. We feel certain the com¬ munity v^I support this new imdertakliig, and that increased giving will result from the in¬ clusion of an allocation for Jew¬ ish Education in our Budget and .Campaign Goal."
MARVIN L. GLASSMAN, General chairman of the 1967 campaign, was enthusiastic in his reaction to the increased goal. Glassman has just returned from a Special Leadership Mis¬ sion to Israel and Europe, wh^re he and other national leaders were given thorough briefings on the increased needs of the United Jewish Appeal, major heneflciary of the United Jewish Fund and Council.
