The 'W«rid!r Week
JERUSALEM (WNS) —The Arab League's granting
ol full voting membership to the Palestine Liberation '
Organization was viewed by political observers here as
having no practical importance. They said that con¬
ferring the status of a state on the PLO by the League
' had no validity in international' law. They predicted
that any attempt to get the PLO admitted into the
United Nations as a state would fail. •'
■     WASHINGTON (WNS)-Rep. Sam Steiger has won .
the Republican nomination for the U.S. Senate in the '

defeated Rep. John Conlati after a campaign which
included overtones of anti-Semitism against Steiger, a
Jew. Sen. Barry Goldwater, the elder statesmanof the
Arizona Republican Party, endorsed Steiger over his
equally Conservative opponent because of "my deep-
concern over the injection of religion mthis1 struggle."
Steiger now  faces  Dennis  Deconcini,  a - Phoenix
attorney, who is the Democratic candidate.

WASHINGTON (WNS) -
President Ford .and his
Democratic "* opponent,
Jimmy Carter, in two sep¬
arate appearances before
the international convention.
ol B'nai B'rith, pledged to
work to an end bl the Arab
boycott."
Carter, who addressed the
1500 persons attending the
largest,convention in B'nai
B'rith history first, accused
, the Administratipn of having
"shut its eyes to the boycott"
and tailed to carry out a firm
policy. "II I become Pres¬
ident all laws concerning the
boycott 'will be vigorously
enforced."
Carter said he found it
"unacceptable that we have
in effect condoned the efforts
of some Arab countries to
tell American businesses
that in orcler to trade with
one country or company they
' must observe certain re¬
strictions based on race or
religion. These so-called
'Arab(boycotts' violate our
standards of freedom and
morality."
Speaking the next day.
Ford said the boycott "in-
• volyes both mora) and legal
questions, domestic as well
as international issues. It is ,
easy to escalate emotionally
but pot .nearly "so easy to
remove rationally."
~ He said that as President
he had "taken the strongest _
executive action in Amer¬
ican history against .foreign
economic practices that dis¬
criminate against American
citizens." He said his admin¬
istrative orders arid regula¬
tions "together with careful
,'diplomacy and the elforts of
individual United States
firms, has resulted jn easing
tM boycott practices and an
effective end to open dis¬
crimination." 'i'
' Carter, in a'-> sppech de-,
voted - largely ,'td human
lights, accused .the Ford
.Administration ' of having
tailed to make "serious ef¬
forts to get the Russians to
permit greater numbers of
people to emigrate freely to
the countries of their
choice." But Ford told the
B'nai B'rith convention'that
he was working with Soviet
Communist Party Secretary
Leonid I. Brezhnev and key
members of Congress to re¬
store Soviet Jewish emigra-'
tion to its previous level.'' <<'.
,  At a special  convention
session devoted to Soviet
Jewry Eugene Gold, chair-,
man ol the National Coher¬
ence on Soviet "Jewry, criti¬
cized both For,d and Carter
lor advocating quiet diplo¬
macy as\a means to alleviate ,
the struggle of Soviet Jewry
He said public diplomacy
was needed also such as the
Helsinkin agreement and the,'
Jackson-Vanik amendment.
"Quiet diplomacy alone -
never helped a Soviet Jew."
