Rep. Farbstein ^Maps House Drive to Resurrect Ribicoff Denunciation of Soviet Anti-Semitism WASHINGTON (JTA) — A drive Will be made in the House of Rep-1 resentatives, when Congress re- convenes, to adopt a new resolu- tion resurrecting the spirit of the deleted Senate "Ribicoff amend- ment," denouncing Soviet anti- Semitism, Rep. Leonard Farbstein, New York Democrat, announced. Meanwhile, h ow e v e r, it was learned - that another congressman of Jewish faith, Rep. Abraham J. Multer, New York Democrat, en- dorsed the Fulbright substitute amendment which replaced the more specific and forceful Ribicoff measure. The deleted Ribicoff amend- ment to the Foreign aid bill piu- Pointed Soviet- oppression of Jews, while a substitute by Sen. W. J. Fulbright eliminated all direct reference to that problem, and merely spoke of the persecu- tion of any persons, because of their religion, anywhere in the world. In remarks on the House floor immediately before adjournment, Rep. Multer lauded the vaguely worded Fulbright substitute, and the action of the Senate-House conference committee which Sub- stituted it for the Ribicoff amend- ment. He found Sen. Fulbright's measure to be "most salutary." He said "the conferees are to be com- plimented" for adopting the Ful- bright language. . Sen. Fulbright, Arkansas Demo- crat, who is chairman of the Sen- ate Foreign Relations Committee, was the lone senator to vote against the Ribicoff amendment. The Ribicoff amendment was fa- vored by 82 senators. Rep. Farbstein, the only Jewish member of the House Foreign Af- fairs Committee, said "It is vital that the Congress serve notice to the Kremlin that the Congress will not forget the plight of Soviet Jewry." He said "it is a pity" that the conference substituted the Fulbright mendment for the "really effe tive and meaningful one offered tly Sen. Ribicoff. . Confide e was voiced by Rep.

The fact that such condi- ' Lions have not already been in- traduced in Spain may be attrib- uted to the problem's unimport- ance, from a numerical viewpoint, due to the relative insignificance of non-Catholic minorities which amount to about 50,000 persons, in Spain's total population of more than 33,000,000." Mazin estimated that the Span- ish Jews who reside in the coun- try total about 7,000, of which 3,000 live in Barcelona, 2.000 -,in Madrid, 1,700 in Melilla, and between 200. and 300 in Ceuta.

With regard to relations between the Spanish government and the Jewish minority, Mazin said: "Sinre ancient times a tacit un- derstanding. a benevolent attitude. has prevailed. In 1924 General Primo de Rivera promulgated a decree, of importance to all Sep- hardic Jews, that is to say, Jews who were expelled from Spain by the Catholic sovereigns, in 1492. In virtue of that legislation, many Sephardic Jews, especially in Greece,. Egypt and Turkey, were able to obtain Spanish protection and later Spanish nationality. Spanish, governments since that time have maintained this attitude toward the Sephardic Jews. The help which the present regime pro- vided to Jews during the last world war is well-known. More recently, groups of Jews of Span- ish nationality proceeding from Morocco, and numbering between 2,000 and 2,500, were able to estab- lish themselves in Spain without prejudice or discrimination of any _Farbstein that a House resolu- tion would succeed.
