NEW YORK (WNS)-Mrs. Tanya Levich, the mother of Evgeny Levich who was abducted on a Moscow street May 16 and sent to a Siberian military camp, has written to President Nixon to intervene with Soviet authorities on behalf of her son, the Student Struggle ' for Soviet Jewry reported. In her letter, Mrs. Levich said her son was drafted into military service without any proper medical examination, that he was un- . . dergoing medical examinations by the Moscow Cancer Dispensary and receiving x-ray treatment for a tumor, and that his induction under such circumstances could be menacing for his health-" and perhaps for his life."

Assembly for Soviet Jews will take place on the ellipse in Washington June 17 on the eve of Soviet Communist Party Secretary Leonid I. Brezhnev's arrival, the National Conference on Soviet Jewry announced. A spokesman for the NCSJ, the general- sponsor of the assembly, said it will represent the concern of millions of Americans for Soviet Jews, and will initiate a week-long series of events around the country. In other developments on Soviet Jewry, Congressmen are asking President Nixon and Brezhnev to bring about the release of Evgeny Levich, the 25-year-old Soviet Jewish astrophysicist abducted last week and reportedly Bent to a military camp in Siberia. And 1000 medical specialists from 50 states attending the annual conference of ttie American Gastroenterological Ass¬ ociation signed a petition to Brezhnev urging Lievich's immediate release: because "we believe that his health will be severely deteriorated and place him in grave jeopardy of survival."

(CONTINUED ON PAGE 11) Fact-Finding Program Set To Evaluate Center's Needs Fulbright, Jackson Clash Over U.S. Mideast Policies BOSTON (WNS)-Hpuse Minority Leader, Gerald R. Ford told a Zionist Organization dinner here that various Arab sources have threatened the United States that it must abandon .Israel if it is to continue receiving oil. He warned, therefore, that the U.S. must reduce its dependency on the Arab states for oil or risk the ■ possibility of Arab economic "blackmail" attempts against its foreign policy in the Middle East. "If we open ourselves to blackmail, we will never know the timing ' or extent of future ex¬ tortions," the: Michigan Congressman said, adding tte U.S., must develop its own energy sources. Ford also urged President Nixon to discuss the sale of Soviet arms to Syria and the Soviets' "widespread harassment" of Jews seeking to emigrate during his June meeting with Soviet Communist Party Secretary Leonid I. Brezhnev. He said the temporary suspension of the education tax did not by itself resolve the problem. In addition Ford said President Nixon should bring up "the recent transfer of French military jet aircraft to Egypt from Libya" in his scheduled May 31 meeting with French President George Pompidou in Iceland. WASHINGTON (WNS) - Sen: J. William Fulbright (D. Ark,) Chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, and Sen.' Henry M. Jackson (D. Wash.) took diametrically opposing views in speeches on the Senate floor May 21 on U.S. policy toward^ the Arab- Israeli conflict and the need for the U.S. to continue its oil imports from the Middle . East. Fulbright proposed the U.S. work toward a "United Nations imposed solution" to "serve all our interests" in the area. He said that since the U.S. may be largely dependent for a decade or. more on large oil imports, "our present, policy makers and policy influences may come to the conclusion that military action is required to ' secure the oil resources of the Middle East, to secure our exposed 'jugular.'" State Department spokesman John King said "the idea of using force mentioned in\- (Fulbright's) speech does not reflect in any way any thought of this Ad¬ ministration." . Jackson said Fulbright's conclusion that the U.S. must deliver the future stability of the Middle East into the hands of the Security Council to ensure an adequate supply of energy "is based on a dangerously oversimplified appreciation of both the nature of our energy deficiency and of the' politics of the Middle East conflict, to say nothing of a most fanciful view of the powers of the U.N." Fulbright said the present Mideast situation is due primarily to "the refusal of the US Administration, backed by a heavy Congressional majority, to modify its commitment to the present policy of Israel." He described Israel as "already a garrison state" that faces the prospect of mounting terrorism "which no amount, of 'counter- terrorism is likely to sup¬ press." He asked if it was not U.S. policies which are "driving America's Arab friends toward radicalization and revolution.*1 A special two day fact¬ finding program to evaluate the Jewish Center's long range Capital Needs program.has been set for June 3 and 4, it was an¬ nounced by David Derrow, Center president. William Gould and Associates, a Cleveland firm involved in architectural design and master facility planning for institutions, new communities, local and state governments, business and industry, will conduct a series of interviews on Sunday afternoon with various segments of the Jewish community and Center membership. .

For two months last spring, Slack students and Jewish students at Indiana 'University met regularly to exchange views and to debate the issues of each group's minority status in a project sponsored by the campus Hillel Foundation aimed at improving mutual under-sanding, according to Rabbi Larry S. Moses, the Hillel director. The project was climaxed by an evening on the theme of "The Survival of a People- -a Joint Effort of Blacks and Jews," sponsored by Hillel and the local Office of Afro- American .Affairs. The undertaking was described by the Hillel director in a report in "Clearing House," the B'nai B'rith Hillel Foundation's professional bulletin. The assumption for the experiment, the director said, was that "Blacks and Jews share many concerns about ethnic and -cultural survival,. assimilation, the need for community con¬ sciousness" and related problems. Another assumption was that "there are serious conflicts between the two; communities," ascribed:; to "myth, misunderstanding, lack of communication, and other deep and serious failures." The director said one goal of the project was "to recognize the commonalities and bonds, expose the in¬ valid barriers which stand in the way of dialogue, and discuss the barriers which are real and valid." He said another objective was "to raise each other's con¬ sciousness, teach about our histories of persecution and struggle while living on the periphery of society,.and explore the political and social ramifications of our unique statuses." ■.... He declared that, from the beginning, "the program avoided the extreme of backslapping and an¬ tagonism." He added that while he regarded the evening event as important, he considered of higher priority the two months of meetings in "a social situation" during which many participants became friends, "even through heated debate, because the Interchange was genuine and mutual." The first part of the evening program was a slide and sound presentation, using slides prepared by the Hillel Foundation "from a great number of pictures of both the Jewish world-the Holocaust, the shtetl and contemporary shots-and the Black world-slavery riots and contemporary leaders." The slides were intermixed in the showing "in such a way that the parallels bet¬ ween the two peoples could clearly be seen. For sound we used the music' of both Blacks (spirituals, mainly) and Jews (the Kaddish, Holocaust songs). We also taped various Black and Jewish voices doing relevant readings and impressions." The second part of the program consisted of six brief dramatizations, presented alternately by Blacks and Jews. Each actor did a guerrilla theater presentation dealing with various aspects of Jewish or Black life.
