'No Signs of USSR Granting Spiritual Freedom to Jews' —Moshe Sharett I U. S. -Attitude on Genocide Khrushchev Borrows Canards signs LONDON, (JTA) — Moshe Sharett, chairman of the Jewish Agency executive, asserted here that "there are no that the Russian Jews would have spiritual freedom, necessary for. their survival, in the foreseeable future," in an address before the British Poale Zion. "Any totalitarian rule," he said, "is the deadly enemy of the Jews as Jews; though, as human beings, they may escape. Without spiritual freedom, it is not a. question of the extermination of the Jews but of their disappearance." However, Sharett insisted, "we must go on demanding spiritual freedom. However, this demand must not degen- erate into a general campaign against the Soviet Union. This is not our intention at all."

Act WASHINGTON, (JTA)—The Administration made known in budget proposals for fiscal 1964 submitted to Congress that "it is proposed to omit" the clause in the Foreign Assistance Act pertaining to Arab bias affecting Americans of Jewish faith. The anti-bias clause, inserted last year by Rep. Leonard Farbstein, New York Democrat, never met with State Department approval. The Department's view is that such a clause might be offensive to the Arab states and that beneficiaries of American aid should not be "coerced" by attaching "strings" to the aid prograin. The new budget proposals, just released by the Executive Department, revealed that the State Depart- ment view has been accepted by the Administration. The clause designated for elimination in fiscal 1964 is section 106. It states that "it is the sense of Congress that any attempt by foreign nations to create distinctions because of their race or religion among American citizens in the granting of personal or commercial access or any other rightS otherwise available to United States citizens generally is repugnant to our principles; and in all negotiations between the United States and any foreign state arising as a result of funds appro- Priated under this title these principles shall be applied as the President may determine." The Bureau of the Budget marked this section with heavy black brackets, stating that this meant it was proposed to omit this clause. Rep. Farbstein, a member of the House Committee on Foreign Af- fairs, said that he intends to re-introduce the anti-bias clause in the new legislation. He said that "Congress cannot force the State Department to implement its wishes, but at least through this clause the world knows how the United States Congress feels about the imposition of religious bigotry on American citizens by nations receiving American assistance." UNITED NATIONS, N. Y., (JTA) — A series of basic principles on the right of persons to leave and return to their own countries, which could affect emigration of Jews from the Soviet Union if the principles are finally adopted by higher United Nations bodies and heeded by the USSR, was adopted by the Subcommission on Prevention of Discrimination and Protection of Minorities. The principles had been hammered out in two weeks of arduous debate and were finally voted, 10-0, at an unaccustomed Saturday session with the Soviet expert on the Subcommission, Boris S. Ivanov, abstaining. Because he was the author of the study which was the basis of the entire debate, Judge Jose D. Ingles, of the Philippines, also abstained. . The entire set of principles, embodied in a report on the rights of emigration and immigration, was part of a study on the. subject prepared Continued on Page 5 Jewish Tialdition of 'Inseparability' From Community - Inspires Good Beginnin.g for '63 Allied Campaign Inseparability of Jews everywhere from their duties to their fellow men and from their responsibilities to those who depend upon them for their security and their sustenance once again served to inspire a group of local leaders to provide an encouraging beginning for the Allied Jewish Campaign. At the traditional pace-setters' gathering, held Tuesday night, at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Max M. Fisher, 27751 Fairway Hills Drive, Franklin, approximately 100 men pledged the sum of $1,665,540. The same group last year gave $1,517,851, and the noteworthy increases are creating a sense of confidence that the extra funds needed this year will be secured. Conducted under the chairmanship of the 1963 Allied Jewish Campaign chairman,- Charles H. Gershenson, Tuesday's meeting was addressed by Rabbi Morris Adler, who drew upon the admonition of Hillel in Pirke Avoth (Sayings of the Fathers): "Al Lifrosh min hatzibur"—"separate not yourself from the community." Offering his definition of "what is a Jew?", Rabbi Adler declared that the inseparability of Jews from their belongings and their adherence to responsibilities as Jews makes them unique among the peoples of the world. Acceding that numerous elements are involved in the complexity called Jew—religion and nationality being two of- the factors—Rabbi Adler de- clared that a Jew can only function in a relationship, that a Jew can not operate in isolation, that he can not detach himself from his association with his fellow Jews. "To be a Jew is to belong and not to separate from belongingness," Dr.- Adler declared. "With that relatedness goes responsibility, Jews are responsible one for another. One Jew is a surety for another." Wherever Jews went, Rabbi Adler pointed out, they recreated their Continued on Page 3 Shown in the upper photo, taken at the Allied Jewish Campaign pace-setters' rally on Tuesday night, are Rabbi Morris Adler with :Charles H.
