WASHINGTON (WNS) - President Ford's request
for most favored nation trade treatment for Rumania
has been approvedunanimously by the Senate Finance
Committee. The followed approval in a House trade
subcommittee by a 14-2 vote. The Congressional action
came after government officials provided information
that Rumania has eased its emigration restrictions on
' Jews and others. Jewish groups had complained that
Rumania had this year tightened its formerly liberal
emigration policy. The State Department said that
Rumania has approved exit visas this year for 2000
Jews who want to go to Israel and 954 who plan to
immigrate into the United States.
NEW YORK (WNS) -Russet Reiner, national
coordinator of the Jewish Defense League, was. fined
$1000 and put oh four years probation for threatening to
kill Palestine Liberation Organization leader Yasir
Arafat. Federal Judge Rochard Ownes, who also gave
Kelner a one-year suspended jail sentence, said he was
giving the JDL official the benefit of the doubt since he
did not mean to carry out the threat. The threat was
made at a press conference just prior to Arafat's
United Nations appearance.
NEW YORK (WNS) - The National News Council
has postponed ifepublic hearing on Mike Wallace's "GO
Minutes" program dealing with Syrian Jewry until a
new program on Syrian Jewry, now being prepared, is
shown next month. The original program aired Feb. 16,
and a corrected version shown June 8, resulted in
criticism, from the American Jewish Congress and
other Jewish organizations who charged it was slanted
in favor of the official"Syrian government position, and
failed to show the real plight of Syrian Jewry. Phil
Baum, associate director of the AJCongress, said his
organization asked the News Council to defer action on
its complaint until the new broadcast was seen.
Jewish Leaders Condemn Resolution Adopted
n's Conference In Mexico City
JERUSALEM (JTA) - A
resolution equating Zionism
with colonialism and calling
for the elimination of both
which was adopted last week
by the International
Women's Year Conference
in Mexico City was con¬
demned here and by Jewish
leaders throughout the
world. The Foreign
Ministry, expressing
disgust, described the
resolution as "another
chapter in the moral
bankruptcy of the UN."
Political circles here ex¬
pressed ., surprise that a
conference called to discuss
the advancement of
womens' rights should
condemn Zionism when
Israel was the first country
to introduce women's
emancipation and voting ;
rights in the Middle East.
The United States and ]
Denmark joined I^Bael in
voting against the
resolution. Britain was
among the abstainers, The
resolution./'was : pushed
through'the conference by
the Arab states with the
overwhelming support of the
Third   World   countries,
China and the Soviet .
Communist bloc. It was
generally opposed by the
Western powers. The con¬
ference, however, accepted
an_ Egyptian proposal to
adopt resolutions on a simple
majority rather than the
two-thirds majority nor¬
mally required. Without that
change, the references to
Zionism would have failed to
gain sufficient votes for
approval, according to
reports from Mexico City.
Mrs, Charlotte' Jacobson,
president of the Conference
of Jewish Organizations
(COJO) and chairman of the
American" Section of the
World Zionist Organization,
said in a statement issued in
Geneva that the'resolution
adopted in Mexico City
Jackson Amendment
onsider Changes
WASHINGTON (JTA) -
Sen.'Abraham Ribicoff, one
of the leading co-sponsors pf.
the Jackson Amendment,
indicated Julys that he and
other co-sponsors were
prepared to consider
changes in the measure if
that would lead to an im¬
provement in U.S. - Soviet
trade relations and an in¬
crease in emigration for
Soviet Jews. The Con¬
necticut Democrat, one of a
17-man Senate delegation
that returned from a visit to
the Soviet Union July 7, also
implied that the Jackson
Amendment has not worked
the way its supporters had
hoped. "If a policy fails... I
don't think'ybu should stick
forever with it," Ribicoff
told a press conference here.
He added, however, that it
appeared, from the Senate
groups contacts with Soviet
officials that the Russians
now understand the strong
Congressional interest and
support for free emigration
and that "Congress will not
move until people can get
out." Ribicoff said that
another major co-sponsor of
the Jackson Amendment,
Sen.    Jacob    K.    Javits
(R.NY), also favored some
changes.
The Jackson - Vanik
Amendment was in¬
corporated into the 1974
Trade Reform Act with
overwhelming support in
both houses of Congress. The
measure was named for Sen.
Henry M. Jackson (D.
Wash.) its principal' author
and advocate in the Senate
and Rep. Charles A. Vanik
(D. Ohio) author of an
. identical measure in the
House. The. amendment was
strongly opposed by the
White House and Secretary
of State Henry A. Kissinger
who argued that "quiet
diplomacy" was more ef¬
fective means of achieving
the free emigration aims of
the amendment's sup¬
porters.-Adoption of the
Jackson Amendment last
year and a related measure
authored by Sen. Adlai
Stevenson (D. 111.) which put
a $300 million ceiling on
Export - Import Bank.

Tisha R'Av
"■'■■■ i
The Ninth of Av, known as Tisha-be-Av is observed
this year on July 17. The Fast Day has been observed
since the beginning of the Second Temple period
commemorating the destruction of the first and second
temples, both on approximately this date. The Book of
Lamentations is read after the Evening Service (and
also in the Morning service according to certain
rituals). Kinot (dirges) are recited after or during the
Morning Service. These include compositions dealing
with tragedies in later Jewish history. The fast
resembles that of the Day of Atonement in its
restrictions upon eating, drinking, anointing, etc. Av 9
is also traditionally the anniversary of the fall of Betar
in 135 CE, the expulsion from Spain in 1492, and other
national calamities.
"once again demonstrated
the deliberate
misrepresentation of
Zionism. It is amazing that
in a world where many
people are striving to
achieve national identify,
Zionism is not seen as an
example for others to follow.
The fact that such a
resolution could be adopted
at the Mexico conference is
ah indication of the
hypocrisy and cynicism of
the nations that voted for it
or even abstained."
Also in Geneva,- Rabbi
Israel Miller, chairman of
the Conference of Presidents
of Major Jewish
Organizations declared:
"We applaud the stand of the
United States of America at
the. International Women's
Conference. America's
stand upholds the principles
of international justice and
fair play. At the same time
we express our pained
surprise at the abstention of
Western democratic rations
with a tradition of liberal
and humanitarian policies."
In Buenos Aires, the
Argentine Zionist
Organization protested to
Foreign Minister Alberto J.
Vignes over Argentina's co-
sponsorship of the Mexico
City resolution identifying
Zionism with neo
colonialism and im¬
perialism. A . telegram
signed by Dr. Lazaro
Rubinson and Natalio
Zugman, president and
secretary,   respectively  of
