Observers Believe1J.S.-U.S.S.R. Summit Precludes Mideast Hostilities
JERUSALEM (WNS) — Political observers - here believe that President, Nixon's announced visit, to Moscow for a summit mWing next May precludes a new qutbreak of hostilities iiiithe Middle East fpr the time being. The concensus of" opinion here is that'neither the US nor theUSSR want to see a resumption of fighting and that the Russians have a particular interest in keeping the peace as^long as )here is a prospect of' a further thawing in Soviet- . Americap-relations. < At /the same time diplom,^i(ic~^>hservers and Arab sources in London evalui^iog the joint Egyp- tian-Soviet communique issued in Moscbw^tihe end of Presidoit Anwar Sadat's three-day'>. visit, said it contained evidence of sharp
SPECIAL JTA ANALYSIS
Will The USSR Permit Jews Tb^migrate To The US?
By BORIS SMOLAR Editor-In-Chlef , -Emeritus, JTA
Will the Soviet government ¦permit its, Jews to- be reunited with their relatives in the United States along the same ''1*^ ^s the. reunification d&Soviet Jews ' with their relatives iii ilsrael .now taking place in a very limited way? Ihis questibh is now. I)eihg posed, following the statement by Attorney Genoral John Mitchell that the US will admit Soviet Jews as refugi^es under the "parole procedure" if the Moscow government per¬ mits their departure. It was due. to quiet negotiations conducted in Washington by
Max M. Fisher, president of the Council of Jewish Federations and Wielfare Funds, that the Mitchell statement came about.
In his negotiations, Fislier bad the full backing of major Jewish orgapizatiohs in. this country and actedloh theif behalf. Prior to/the Mitchell statement/^the problem of reuniting Soviet Jews with their families in
Under international obligations signed by the Soviet government, the Kremlin cannot ignore reunification of families, if proper afficavits—known in ""tussia as "Vysovs"—are sent by persons in the United istates to relatives in the Soviet Union.
However, it can refuse an exit permit to'the concerned Soviet Jew under various
conflicts of opinion between the Egyptian, and Soviet leaders, some of which remained unresolved. They pointed out that the com¬ munique 6'fered no en¬ dorsement of Sadi'!' recent . proclamation: that i VJ i will be the year of deci!-!"n with Israel although Uf Egyptian President rcilcri.ted that view while he was in . Moscow. Also Sadat had to, ¦ put i;i.<' signature to paragraphs in the joint comii. unique which he ¦canqot have'liked, such as . the denunciation of aiiti- Communist. and anti-Soviet activities in the Arab world, the observers said.
Targets of that part of the comniunique were obviously President Numejri of Sudan who put down a pro- (vommunist coup last August and Col. Muamnier Qadhafi, leader of Libya's ruling military junta who has been persistently making anti- Communist pronoun¬ cements.
In return for the adherence of Egypt to Socialist and Communist principles, Sadat received Russian assurances applications for exit permits for many ' inonths, if not years. It can also use various, methods to "convince" the concerned aH>licapt that he should withdralw his ap¬ plication. ' In the case of emigration of relatives to Israel—as'is the case also of emigration of Greek Soviet citizens who. Moscow per¬ mits quietly to leave for Greece—the   explanation

of further military aid. The communique spoke pf coordinated steps, designed to improve Egypt's military ability which means more
arms from Russia though it did not specify whether Egypt would get the ofr tensive weapons it has'been clamoring for.
Dr. Irving Greenberg To Speak To Columbus Jewish Women
Many Columbus Jewish 'Women travel to National conventions, and return to Coluitibiis', charged .by scholars ' who discuss Judaism as a framework for creating special kinds of human beings.

question for local leaders is .always,   "HOW  CAN   WE

PHILADELPHIA (WNS) — "There is little valiiiity in our being the Jewish power . structurie if we deny the Jewish future," Dr. William A. Wexler, international mxsidentof B'nai B'rith said W"        advising the
organization's trianpual convention that Jewish collegians "are the in¬ novators qf a Jewish counter-CBtewe which wants less preaching from Jewish pulpits, less glibness from Jewish ' presidents, less catering at bar mitzvahs and more genuine  Jewi^   in¬
volvement in the struggle for peace and social equality." Dr. Wexler, who is also chairman of the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations, said -'many Jewish youths are not alienated. They are ac¬ cessible to us. The cmcial problem is "Are we ac¬ cessible to them?" Dr. Wexler also call^ for a new "nonpartisan vjiberal" ethnic:racial-religmus-labor coalitibh to revive|he spirit, of the civil rights campaigns of a decade ago.
