Theodore Mann For Carter
l JERUSALEM, (JTA)—Theodore Mann, immediate past,
chairman of the Conference of Presidents of Major American
Jewish Organizations, has come out publicly in support of
President Carter's reelection. Speaking at a public debate
here organized by the American Jewish Congress, Mann
said; "We are not trying to choose the perfect President, but
only the best one. With all his weaknesses and mistakes, Jimmy Carter comes out first—as the best candidate by far—as I
weigh all the factors in the balance."
Howard Squadron, Mann's successor at the Presidents
Conference, predicted that Jews would play a crucial role" in
determing the outcome of the American Presidential election
because of thejrjieavy representation in New York State
wfticfi Carter"must win" to~gain reelectibn.'Nb democrat in
this century had been elected without winning either N.Y; or
Calif., he noted, and it was to be assumed that Ronald Reagan, a local man and a former governor, would top Carter in
Calif.
Anderson Visits Israel
BONN,' (JTA)-r-Independent Presidential candidate John
Anderson stated that there is justification for Israel's settlements on the West Bank and that they are very, clearly
related t|o Israel's security needs. In an interview published
in Die \yelt last week, Anderson said that even President
Anwar Sadat saw " justification for the settlements on
security grounds and that he himself accepts that approach.
The candidate criticized U.S." diplomacy nf the Middle
East, claiming that it was as much hostage to Arab oil as the
52 Americans held in Iran are hostages. He also suggested
that Americans should pay as much for gasoline as Germans
pay, whi&h would mean adding more than a dollar a gallon to
the present price. He said that even if he weren't a candidate
he would hot vote for either President Carter or Ronald Reagan.' _   '
Rabbi Assails Birth Control
NEW YORK (JTA)—A denunciation of the increasing frequency of family planning among Jews and concern over the
"rampant ignorance" of many Jews about Jewish religious
laws on marital relations were expressed by the Lubavitcher
Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem Schneerson.
He spoke at the 25th annual convention of the Lubavitch
Women's Organization, held at the' Hasidic group's world
headquarters in the Crown Heights section of Brooklyn. He
criticized the silence of what he said were many'rabbis who
hesitate to speak out publicly on the traditional stand on family planning and about observance ''of "Taharas Hamis-
pacha," dealing with marital and sexual relations. He spoke
against a background of growing evidence that the American
Jewish family is achieving, by choice, zero population
growth.
Schneerson said that "as a result of this disturbing "void
and painfully neglected area of Jewish life, many, many of
our Jewish men and women do not know that in most instances, Jewish law prohibits family planning and the prevention of birth,-and that Jewish Law prescribes many details regarding marital relations."
He declared that Jewish Laws on the'family "must be
taught to young brides and grooms; to young couples, as well
as to older couples, so that they may become aware of the
particular laws pertinent to each stage of their-lives.'*-

DETROIT, .(JTA) —
Jewish Republicans who
have been in the forefront of
the campaigns of Ronald
Reagan and George Bush for
the highest office in the land
enthusiastically hailed
Presidential nominee Reagan's choice of Bush as his
running mate and predicted
today that this combination
is sure to triumph in the
national elections next
November.
Industrialist Gordon Zacks
of Columbus, who was an
early supporter of Bush's
primary campaign for the
Presidential nomination and
served as his national vice
chairman of finance and
deputy chairman of ' his
national political campaign,
told the Jewish Telegraphic
Agency:  .
"For the sake of the country, the free world and the
State of Israel, Ronald Reagan has selected the most
qualified candidate. I commend hfs judgement Al am'
confident that the ticket of
Reagan and Bush will go on
to victory in November.''
In announcing to the convention last week that former President .Gerald Ford
would not be* his running
mate and that Bush would,
Reagan said of his erstwhile
primaries .rival that Bush
"can support the platform
across the board."
In his campaign for the
Presidential nomination.
Bush had expressed strong
support for Israel's security
but he would not advocate
moving the U.S. Embassy
from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.
The GOP platform says
"Republicans believe Jerusalem should remain an undivided city with continued
free and unimpeded access"
to all holy places by people of
all faiths."
Bush, who was a Presidential hopeful > during the
Republican primaries but
who was defeated, made it
clear during his bid that he
was a staunch friend of Israel. In one of his strongest
statements on the issue he
told some 40 Jewish leaders
at a meeting sponsored by
the American Jewish Committee last October that Israel must be kept strong and
its security must never be
traded for oil.
Bush, a former Ambassador to the United Nations,
. also said he continued to believe that the U.S. has
"special relations" with Is:
rael. He also affirmed that
he opposes any negotiations
with- j the Palestine
Liberation 'Organization,
claiming that the U.S. credibility as an ally would diminish if it reversed it position
on the PLO.
An indication of the
Republican leadership's
close attention to Jewish
' voters, primarily in the crucial New York State elections, was evidenced last
week by the selection of New
York State National Committeeman, Richard Rosenbaum of Rochester, to be the
first of 12 delegates who
spoke as seconders of Rea-
gan's nomination.
