Senators Sarcastic Over LTA
Rebuke; Accuse State Dept.:
Israel Knesset Rejects Censure
WASHINGTON, (JTA)—Two Republican Senators, Ken-
neth Keating of New York and Hugh Scott of Pennsylvania,
issued a joint sarcastically worded statement which labelled
the UN censure vote of Israel as "apparently the first move
in the new policy of even-handedness in the Middle East which
the State Department outlined to us in a letter last week."
Asserting their "vigorous protest" over the action, the
two lawmakers said that "it looks like the palm of the hand
for the Arabs and the back of the hand for the Israelis."
Unanimous Parliamentary Rejection
JERUSALEM—Israel's parliament Tuesday night rejected
by an overwhelming majority the UN Security Council resolu-
tion censuring Israel for its raid on Syrian gun positions in the
Lake Tiberias area last month.
The Knesset described the resolution, which was approved
Monday by all Security Council member nations except France
—which abstained—as a biased one which disregarded Syrian

NEW YORK—Three more Jews have been executed for "economic offenses" by
Soviet firing squads, according to reports in a Soviet newspaper received here Tuesday.
The executions of Fedor Kaminer, Mikhail Rabinovich and Aaron Reznitski were
reported by Sovietskaya Litva, a provincial newspaper published in Vilna, the capital of
Lithuania. The three Jews had been charged with "currency speculation" at a trial last
winter and were convicted. They were shot Feb. 10.
Basya Resnitski, wife of Aaron, also was convicted, but her fate was not indicated
in the Vilna news report. It was believed that she and others among 20 Soviet citizens
sentenced to death on the same general charges probably have already been executed.
A total of 17 of the 20 prisoners sentenced by provincial courts are Jews. At
least 30 others are believed to have been sentenced to long prison terms. The arrests,
trials and sentences are believed to be motivated by the determination of Soviet authori-
ties facing widespread profiteering and black market activities throughout the Soviet
Union to single out Jews as scapegoats as a means of warning the speculators.
The executions in Vilna were the first reported in the Baltic provinces absorbed
by Russia after World War II. In March two Jews, Mordekh Abramavich Kakiashvil and
A. F. Klemanov were executed in the province of Georgia after they were convicted of
alleged economic offenses.
Survey Reveals Spread of Communist Anti-Semitism
Direct JTA Teletype Wire to The Jewish News
LONDON—Anti-Semitism "varies in strength from country to country behind the
Iron Curtain but it is present everywhere" and "there is reason to believe it is directed
from Moscow," the Daily Telegraph asserted Tuesday in a report from Prague.

They Celebrated Passover in
Israel with the Help of UJA
Provided by Allied Campaign
The increased pace of immigration to Israel
is enabling vast numbers of newcomers to ob-
serve the first Passover of their new life in
Israel. Financed with funds raised by the Unit-
ed Jewish Appeal, the immigrants are assisted
in becoming integrated within the life of the
country.
SceneS depicted here in a new immigrant
village in the Judean Hills, near Jerusalem, will
be duplicated in a score of similar towns and
villages throughout the country. Mother, as-
sisted by her son, returns from shopping for the
traditional Passover foods, while the daughters
rehearse a holiday playlet at school where the
teachers also explain the Passover story and
trace the route of the Exodus from Egypt.
Climaxing the festive holiday is the family
seder at which glasses of wine are raised in
traditional thanks for deliverance.
The United Jewish Appeal is the major bene-
ficiary of the Detroit Allied Jewish Campaign,
now in progress.
Paul Zuckerman, Allied Jewish Campaign
chairman, and Charles H. Gershenson, co-chair-
man, urge all campaign workers to secure an
increased contribution from each prospect. They
asked that cards be covered quickly, yet thor-
oughly, 'so the campaign can move rapidly to-
ward a successful completion on May 2.
This afternoon, the president and executive
director of each of the Jewish Welfare Federa-
tion's 14 member agencies will be presented to
campaign workers at a luncheon report meet-
ing at Campaign Headquarters, 163 Madison
avenue.
