Wilbur Mills (D.Ark.) introduced on Feb. 7 legislation to reject the Soviet-American trade agreement unless the Soviet government eliminates' restrictions oh the emigration of Jews and other citizens seeking to emigrate. The /legislation was presented by Mills on behalf of himself and Rep. Charles fanik (D. Ohio) who first proposed it in the House last autumn, and 257 other Congressmen representing 46 of the states and more than half of the 435 members of the House. Before going on the House floor, Mills clearly expressed determination to newsmen that the legislation will be adopted if the Soviet policy remains unchanged. He said, "There will be? no trade bill without this measure in it." Shortly after the presentation, the State Department declared op¬ position to it. Spokesman Charles Bray said the Department regarded "quiet diplomacy" as the best means of achieving emigration results from the Soviet Union.- "Quiet diplomacy" was the phrase used by President Nixon last autumn when he discussed Soviet emigration policies with Jewish leaders in New York. The trade agreement, announced by the White House last September, in¬ cludes settlement of the Soviet Union's lend-lease debt and also would grant it most favored nation treatment. Both factors.are subject to approval by the (CONTINUED ON PAGE 4} Announce Policy To Eliminate Jews Who Marry Non-Jews From Public Leadership NEW YORK, (JTA)-The Rabbinical Council of America, the association of Orthodox rabbis, announced Feb. 8 a policy aimed at "the elimination from leadership roles in Jewish public life of all those who marry out of their faith and rabbis who perform marriages between Jew and non-Jew." Only Reform rabbis perform such marriages. In line with that policy, Rabbi Louis Bernstein Council president, said the organization would oppose appointment to office of either lay Or rabbinic • leaders "who violate these rules in any of the organizations with which the Rabbinical Council is af¬ filiated." These include the Synagogue Council of America, the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish, Organizations, the Chaplaincy Commission of Jewish Welfare Board, the Joint Advisory Committee of the National Jewish Com¬ munity Relations Advisory Council and the Rabbinic Advisory Council of the national United Jewish Appeal. Each of the six constituent agencies of the Synagogue Council of America-three rabbinic and three congregational-has veto power over all decisions of the SCA. A Rabbinical Council spokesman said the Council would.apply that veto to any appointment of_ Jews to SCA posts who were" married to non-Jews. In the (CONTINUED ON PAGE 4) - .
