' OOLS. 0. 43an EXOH VOL. 52 NO. 40 SEPTEMBER 26, 1974 - TISHRI 10 NEW YORK (WNS) - The National Geographic Magazine has promised to correct a highly distorted presentation of the condition of Syrian Jewry which appeared in its April issue.. Phil Baum, associate executive director of the American Jewish Congress, which coordinated a protest of the article including the first picketing of the magazine's headquarters in Washington, said he received a letter from Joseph R. Judge, the magazine's assistant editor, stating that the AJ Congress' concern about the article "will be amply demonstrated and acknowledged in our November issue." Baum said the agreement, to modify the original article was "a victory for the cause of Syrian Jews, whose fight for freedom -was gravely jeopar¬ dized by the distortions in the April issue". The AJ Congress had charged that the article by Robert Azzi, a free-lance writer "left the clear impression that Jews In Syria are treated decently and that the Syrian government maintains a tolerant and even benign attitude toward them.". Baum said thousands of American Jews and other readers wrote to the editor of the magazine threatening to cancel their subscriptions unless a correction was printed. FRAMINGHAM, MASS. (WNS) - The first day of Rosh Hashana was marred here when swastika markings were found dabbed on Temple Beth Am and. Temple Shalom here and obscenities painted on the sidewalks.

Kissinger said last week that a settlement of the Soviet emigration and trade issues is within sight and expressed confidence that the basis for an agreement could come as early as this week. Kissinger spoke in reply to questions by members of the Senate Foreign Relations Com¬ mittee after delivering a 6000 word report on- U.S.-Soviet detente in which he stressed theoverriding importance of detente, especially its goal of eliminating the possibility of nuclear war. Kissinger's optimism was not shared by Sen. Jacob K. Javits (R.NY) one of three key Senators with whom the Administration has been negotiating for a com¬ promise on the Jackson- Mills-Vanik legislations. "Wedonot wish the signal to go tip-that we have changed course on the Jackson Amendment," Javits said. Apparently in reply to the '. point made by Kissinger In his prepared report that "the economic bargaining ability of most favored nation (MFN) status is marginal" in dealing with the Soviet Union, Javits observed, "You can't ha,ye it both ways In that economics does not give us economic leverage or that we can kick moral concerns outof the window." Kissinger warned in his prepared report that raising issues of Soviet domestic political practices might jeopardize arms limitation agreements between the U.S. and the USSR. "MFN New Reform Judaism Group Organized In Opposition To Established Organizations CINCINNATI (WNS) - Claiming an "increasing preoccupation" by Reform organizations "with ap¬ peasing the Orthodox and Conservative establish¬ ments", more than 100 Reform rabbis have organized in a new group called an Association for a Progressive Reform Judaism .The new group, organized at a meeting in St. Louis, derives from a dissident group formed in Atlanta in June 1973 in protest against a resolution adopted by the 1973 con¬ vention of the Central Conference of American Rabbis, the association of Reform rabbis, which'op¬ posed participation by CCAR members in mixed marriages. Dr. Eugene Mihaly, professor of rab¬ binic literature at the Hebrew Union College • Jewish Institute of Religion, the Reform seminary, has been elected president of the new group. The sponsors asserted that there was a "tendency" in some Reform organizations to "restrict the freedom which Reform Judaism came into being to promote and preserve "and that these (CONTINUED ON PAGE 13) ATTENTION PUBLICITY CHAIRMEN AND CHRONICLE CONTRIBUTORS CHRONICLE DEADLINES Due to production schedules, it is necessary that we strictly adhere to established copy deadlines.

"I am very optimistic", Kissinger said, 'lliat with good will on both sides - and I think there is good will on both sides - we can work something out. We hope this will be evident within a week." Capitol Hill sources close to the Jackson-Mllls-Vanlk legislation indicated today, however, that no further:' progress has been made in the regular discussions of the issue that Kissinger is holding with Sens. Javits, Henry M. Jackson (D.Wash.) and Abraham Ribicoff (D.Conn.) aimed at a compromise. Kissinger met with the Senators this week, and, according to the sources, got no further than they were two weeks ago. Javits took sharp ex¬ ception today to Kissinger's warning that the "sudden exposte facto form of linkage'' of trade with the Soviet domestic order "raises serious questions,r. The Secretary claimed, "at -not time were issues regarding Soviet domestic political practices raised ... indeed, not until after 1972 was the Soviet domestic order invoked as a reason for arresting or reyersing the progress so painfully achieved." Javits said that statement (CONTINUED ON PAGE 14) USSR Sending Substantial Military Hardware To Syria by Joseph Polakoff '' WASHINGTON, (JTA) -*- Secretary of State Henry A. Kissinger conceded last week that the Soviet Union is sending7 "substantial military shipments" to Syria, but said this aspect has to be seen in the context of the overall situation. He maintained, in reply to questions by members of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, that the purpose of the shipments was to improve the quality of Syria's weapons systems rather than increase its quantity. However, Kissinger ad¬ ded, "We believe restraint in military shipments should go side by side with political progress in the Middle East." He warned that "progress in the Middle East will be very difficult if not impossible, without at least the acquiescence of the Soviet Union." The Secretary concurred when Sen. Jacob J, Javits (R.NY) asked for an executive session of the. Foreign Relations Committee on Soviet arms shipments to Syria and OPEC nations' "intractability" on oil production and prices.
