The Master of Ceremonies ir the event, a distinguished CohfflAhus personality, will be announc^ at a later date. NEW YORK (JTA)—The message was unmistakably clear and (nrecise: Let the three million Jews in the Soviet Union leave. Sen. Henry M. Jackson (D., Wash.) and Rep. Gerald R. Ford (R., Mich.) demanded it, Ruth Aleksandrovich Averbuch personified it. Rabbi Gilbert I. Klaperman dramatized it, Vernon ' E. Jordan, Jr.", of the Urban League underscored it, and 20,000 persons tumultuously applauded it. The occasion was the Freedom Lights for Soviet Jewry rally at Madison Square Garden the night of Dec. 13, the second night of CSiariukah, held to express solidarity with Soviet Jewry .The rally was sponsored by the Greater New York Conference on. Soviet Jewry and the Center for Russian Jewry. Jackson denounced Soviet Premier Alexei N. Kosygin for."lying" when he termed Soviet persecution of Jews a "myth." If kosygin is right, "it would follow that he would be willing to remo(ve all restrictions on Jewish immigration— for what has he to fear," Jackson declared amidst shouts from the audience, "Jackson for President.

He said this hap¬ pened in the past, "in the thirties with regard to the Nazis," declaring: "We listened to the counsels of expediency and ignored the cries for help. We must never repeat the mistake." The Senator observed that in view of 'Russia's desire to increase non-strategic trade .with;the US, it.would.~not.be "too'miicK to ask that as part of the bargain ' Moscow loosen up on its immigration policies and cease its policy of cultural genocide against the Jews." Ford, the House Minority Leader, declared that "I will strongly recommend" to President Nixon that during his visit to Moscow next May he make clear to the Kremlin how Americans feel about the oppression of Soviet Jews. Ford declared that "Since the Soviet Union uses its veto at the United Nations and asserts itself through the UN when it suits Russian con¬ venience, I feel it is now very appropriate for the. United States to remind the Russians of the United Nations^ Declaration on Human'Rights." Mrs. Averbuch, who was in' New York wi^ her husband, Isaiah, and her mother, Mrs. Rivka Aleksandrovich, received a standing ovation when she expressed her gratitude to "all of you and ail&fthbse who'Hlhelped in ;;^q9,^flNUeD ON PAGE l«l from territories occupied in the Six Day War.

The Assembly adopted the pro-E^ptian resolution by a vote 6f 97-7 with 36 nati(»is abstaining, despite an Israeli warning that Israel would not accept any resolution calling upon her to withdraw from occupied territories jbefore negotiations. Eban warned that the Arabs would interpret the resolution as a "green light to launch a military attack as a means of recapturing the occupied territories. The resolution remains only a recommendation unless the Security Council approves it. UN sources were divided in opinion on - whether Egypt would seek a Council meeting to affirm the Assembly decision. Some sources believed that the U.S., which abstained on the Assembly vote, would veto any attempt to secure Council approval. Both Israel and thelj.S. agreed that Jarring's talks must be resumed under the mandate of Council Resolution 242, and a State Department spokesman declared that tte G«ieral Assembly resolution "had no bearing now" On the Jarring talks. He said the U.S. would continue attempts to achieve an interim agreement to permit the reopening ot the Suez Canal. Photo- (left to right) Mrs Leonard Wasserstrom, Mrs. William V.

Anything less than an American veto of any proposal brought to the Council or any other maneuver on negotiations without preconditions can only serve to darken the outlook for an agreed peace.
