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.".

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 (CONTINUED ON PAGE 13) NCSJ Leader Says Soviet Jews' Goals Differ From Solzhenitzyn's by BILL COHEN Chronicle Special Reporter While exiled Soviet author Alexander Solzhenitzyn is trying to change the Soviet 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 The study accused, the.

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." Goodman said that While the dissident writer, now in Europe wants to "dismantle" Soviet society^, (CONTINUED ON PAGEIO) Receives Brotherhood Award Dr. and Mrs. Benjamin Caplan (right) ' with Governor and Mrs. John J.

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- (CQNTINUED ON PAGE 13) Col's.
