WASHINGTON (WNS) - District of Columbia
Superior Coyrt Judge Leonard Braman has refused to
remove himself because he is Jewish from the trial of
1 five Black Muslims accused of participating in a mass
murder of seven persons here last year. James L.
Burkhardt, a defense attorney, told the judge that "the
defendants feel they can't get a fair trial. This they
believe is a political trial. Perhaps the religious per¬
suasion of the (Black) Muslims and your own religious
persuasion present an irreconcilable difference.".
Judge Braman confirming that Burkhardt's remarks
were aimed at him because he was Jewish, declared
the religious reference was "not well taken" and
refused the request. ;
- NEW YORK (WNS) -More than 200 Jewish leaders
and Federation executives will assess the major areas
of communal responsibility at the quarterly national
board and committee meetings of the Council of
Jewish Federations and Welfare Funds (CJF) at the
New York Hilton Hotel March 14-17. Raymond J.
Epstein, CJF president, said oneof the highlights to be
discussed will be the present status of accelerated
community federated campaigns which as of the end of
February have raised a total of more than $580 million'
- for local, national and .worldwide Jewish needs, an
Increase of 106 percent by the same contributors in the
previous year.

ADL Report Claims Worldwide
New Anti-Semitism Rampant
Warns Detente In Danger If Restrictions Put
On USSR; Soviet Experts Endorse Amendment
WASHINGTON (WNS) —
Secretary of State Henrjf A.
Kissinger waited. Congress
that if it does'not' eliminate
barriers to ILS. Soviet trade
because of Russia's
restrictive policies toward
Jewish emigration it could
mean the collapse of detente
and the increased possibility
of a nuclear holocaust. And
Kissinger warned that the
Jackson Amendment if
adopted would be<A'coun:.
terproductive'' and "will not
enhance emigration. It may
stop it altogether.
Kissinger's remarks were
made to the Senate Finance
Committee which js con¬
sidering the Trade Reform
Bill which, as it now stands,
includes the House approved
Mill-sVanik legislation, an
identical measure to the
Jackson Amendment. But
Kissinger   said   he   would
welcome a compromise that
would retain the intent of the
amendment while providing
the Soviet Union with trade
benefits. He said he did not
oppose the Objectives of the
backers of the amendment,
but that "they have chosen
the wrpng vehicle and
context." He declared that
he spoke with "some
anguish" as both a historian
and a Jew whp Vis. par¬
ticularly conscious// of the.
plight of minority groups."
But he stressed that the U.S.
seeks detente with the Soviet'
Union for one overwhelming
reason, "both countries have
the capability to destroy
each other and most of the
rest of the world in the
process." Kissinger
declared   that   he   was
"meeting regularly with the
leaders of the Jewish
community to explain the
U.S. policy in the' Middle
East and the degree of
cooperation between the
U.S. and the Soviet Union to
bring about moderate,
evolution." He said "There is
a possibility of getting a
compromise - from'   the

NCSJ Leader Says Soviet Jews'
Goals Differ From Solzhenitzyn's

NEW  YORK,   (JTA)   -
Two officials of the Anti-
Defamation League of B'nai
B'rith. claimedon March 5
that a "new worldwide anti-
Semitism" was rampant,
based on insensitivity and
indifference    to   Jewish
concerns,. The charge was
made at a press conference
here by Seymour Graubard,
national chairman of  the
ADL,  who  reported  the
results  of 3%  years  of
research by Arnold Forster,
the ADL's associate director
and  general  counsel   and
Benjamin  R. Epstein,  its
national director. The study
will be published next month
in the form of a book, "The
New Anti-Semitism," by
McGraw-Hill. Graubard said
the results revealed that,the
major  difference   between
anti-Semitism today and the
traditional kind is that "the
new anti-Semitism" is not
necessarily deliberate in
character and is more often
"expressed by respected
individuals and. institutions
here and abroad-people who
would be shocked to think
themselves, or have others
think of  them as  anti-
Semites;''   The  primary
sources of the "new anti-
Semitism" according to the
ADJA. study, are pro-Arab
elements, the radical left
and radical right, Black
extremists, the Soviet
Union, Arab nations and
movements in Europe and
Latin America - all in ad¬
dition to the remnants of
ha^te-mongering that
plagued the U.S. in the 1920s.
Graubard and the authors of
th study conceded that
criticism of Israeli actions or
policies was. not in itself
prima facie evidence of anti-
Semitism but that calling for
or supporting policies that
could lead to the destruction
of the Jewish State was. The
study also named authors,
journalists and various
media in America who they
claimed promote' anAln-
favorable stereotype■/of
Jews...;'-        ''A

cording to Jerry Goodman,
Executive Director of the
National Conference on

Goodman, who was in
Columbus last week, told
The Chronicle that although
Solzhenitzyn's. case js ."very..
typical of the.problems of
intellectual dissidents in the
Soviet Union, what he wants
is quite different from what
the Jewish activists in the
Soviet Union want."

Mrs. Meir Names Cabinet
NRP Will Join Coalition
TEL AVIV (WNS) -After
several days of suspense
over whether Premier Golda
Meir would continue to try to
form a government or let
someone, else try, the
Premier submitted a new
Cabinet list v to President
Ephraim Katzir. The list
included the two Rafi
leaders, Defense Minister
Moshe Dayan and Transport
Minister Shimon Peres, who
earlier had refused to serve
in what would have been a
minority government and
instead had urged a national
unity coalition which would
include the opposition Likud.
And it also appeared that
Mrs, Meir would now have a
majority government as the
executive committee of the
National. Religoius Party
voted 30-17 to enter the'
Cabinet despite a ban by the
Chief Rabbinate and the
bitter opposition of the
parly's "young guard." The
reversal by Dayan and
Peres was attributed to the
suddenly developed security
threat on the Syrian cease¬
fire line although Some
Israelis believe that the
threat was contrived to give
the two Rafi leaders a way of
saving face. Dayan will
continue to serve as Defense
Minister and Peres will head
the  new  Ministry   of  In-
