Panovs Will Appear In Columbus
The visit to Columbus of
Valery and Galina Panov,
perhaps the world's greatest
ballet dancers, will bring to
the public the plight of Soviet
Jewry, since the Panovs
were unable to leave the
Soviet Union, or to dance, for
over two years. The
Community Relations
Committee of the Columbus
Jewish Federation and the
Columbus Jewish Center are
working together to make
maximum use of the Panovs,
1 in cooperation with producer
Danny Deeds. They will
appear at Veteran's
Memorial on Saturday
evening, November 22, and
Sunday evening, November
23, and tickets are being sold
for both concerts by the
Jewish Center Cultural Arts
Department.
The Panovs are
unanimously acclaimed by
critics as "among the very
top dancers in the world
today." .Yet for two years,
from the time they applied
for emigration visas to
Israel, they were unable to
dance in the Soviet Unionn,
and not allowed to leave for
Israel. Fired from the famed
Kirov Ballet, confined to
virtual house arrest in one
small room, the Panovs
persisted in their efforts to
leave.
World-wide protests,
picket lines, letters arid
telegrams, constant
pressure on the . Soviet
government, finally led to
their departure for Israel in
June, 1974. They have lived
in Israel .for the past 16
months, and are now on their
first American tour.
Among the activities
planned by the1 Community
Relations Committee are the

The Senate has an identical
bi-partisan resolution which
it is expected to consider this
week. Rep. Sidney Yates (D.
HI.) was credited with "an
amazing personal
achievement" for the
success of the resolution,of
which he was a prime
mover. Working ceaselessly
among his colleagues, Yates
personally canvassed
members all this week in
their offices and in the
Capitol itself to tell them the

WASHINGTON," (JTA) -
Demonstrating a
tremendous outpouring of
sympathy and support for
Israel and the Jewish people,
401 of the 435 members of the
House of Representatives
had signed as of Oct. 23 the
resolution introduced earlier
urging the UN General
Assembly to repudiate the
UN Third Committee's draft
equating Zionism with
racism. A preliminary
tabulation of the, resolution's
sponsors showed that 269
Democrats and 132
Republicans from all 50
states and the four, areas —
Puerto Rico, the District of
Columbia, Guam ahd the
Virgin   Islands   —   with

an observer told JTA. "He
probably can get five or ten
more sponsors but many of
the 45 not yet on the list are
ill at home, in hospitals or
away on business in their
districts or abroad."
The joint -' resolution
declared that the UN draft
"wrongfully associates and
equates Zionism with racism
and racial discrimination"
and that the purposes and
principles of the United
Nations thereby "are
threatened with being
nullified and subverted."
The joint resolution, backed
by the leadership of both
major parties in both
chambers of Congress will
be presented to the U.S.
Ambassador to the UN,
Daniel Moynihan, with the
request that he distribute
copies to all UN delegates
prior to the General
Assembly's plenary session
which is expected to act on
the Third Committee's draft.
The joint resolution charges
that the UN Charter is
threatened with being.
"nullified and subverted" by
the draft adopted in the
Third Committee which
"wrongfully associates and
equates Zionism with racism
and racial discrimination."
In that connection, .the
resolution noted that the U.S.

NEW YORK (JTA) -
Rep. Morris K. Udall (D.
Ark.) on Oct. 21 accused
President Ford of "looking
the other way", with regard
to American firms that have
complied with the Arab
boycott against firms doing
business with Israel. The
legislator, a condidate for
the Democratic Presidential
nomination, also charged
that the Administration is

Royal Treatment Planned For
Sadat During His U.S. Visit
WASHINGTON (WNS) -
Egyptian President Anwar
Sadat will receive the red
carpet treatment during his
10-day visit to the U.S. All his
appearances. have been
carefully calculated by
American and Egyptian
officials to present him as a
leader of Arab moderates,
and therefore deserving of
American economic and'
military support. Care is
also being taken to assure
maximum favorable media
coverage as well .as
maximum security. In
return, Sadat is expected to
impress Americans with his
appreciation for the effort of
President Ford and
Secretary of State Henry A.
Kissinger in the Middle East
and his own reasonable
' requirements for a Mideast
peace.
Part of this high-geared
public relations campaign
for Sadat is also aimed at
enhancing Ford's-image in
the conduct of foreign policy
as the first American
president  in  27  years  to
achieve a break-through
toward peace in the Mideast,
embodied in the Egyptian-
Israeli Sinai accord
negotiated by Kissinger.
Ford, who is vigorously
campaigning for his party's -
nomination in 1976, is
regarded by many as
believing that U.S. foreign
policy, especially American
success in the Mideast, as
crucial  for  his  election
' success.
Sadat's three-day stay in
Washington will include an
appearance before the
National Press Club and an
. address to a joint session of
Congress. There had been
some opposition in Congress
.to his appearance there, but
at the State Department's
request the House and the
Senate extended an
invitation to Sadat to
address them. No Israeli
official has ever addressed a
joint session of Congress.
However, an aide to House
Speaker Carl Albert (D.
Okla.) said that a' similar

nation's principles" by
providing Jordan and Saudi
Arabia with ' highly
sophisticated weaponry
which may be used against
' Israel. Udall issued these
charges in his address at the
annual dinner of the
American Friends of the
Hebrew University. The
dinner honored the 50th
anniversary of the Hebrew
University in Jerusalem. Dr.
Howard A. Rusk, chairman
of the Department of
Rehabilitation Medicine and
director of the Rusk Institute
of Rehabilitation Medicine
at New York University
Medical Center, and Dr.
Walter A. L. Thompson,
chairman of the Department
of Orthopedic Surgery at
NYU Medical Center who
has     assisted     in     the
rehabilitation of wounded
soldiers in Israel since the
Yom Kippur War, received
the Torch of Learning Award
froiri the American Friends.
Referring to the Arab
boycott, Udall said that
"nearly a year ago
President Ford told us that
discrimination against
institutions or individuals on
religious or ethnic grounds is
'totally contrary to the
American tradition and
repugnant to American
principles. It has no place in
the free . practice of
commerce as it has
flourished in this country...'
His words were strong and
seemed unequivocal, but he
has taken absolutely no
action to put a stop to it."
Udall noted that under the
