Loopholes in Boycott Act
By MILTON FRIEDMAN
(Copyright, 1965, JTA, Inc.)
WASHINGTON — Will the Arab
boycott continue to harass Amer-
ican exporters through loopholes
in new regulations drafted by the
U.S. Commerce Department to im-
plement recent anti-boycott leg-
islation?
Rep. William B. Widnall, New
Jersey Republican, led the unsuc-
cessful fight in Congress to
strengthen the anti-boycott pro-
visions of the Export Control Act.
He has now charged that, because
of loopholes in the regulations just
published by the Commerce De-
partment, "the opportunity for the
Arab boycott to continue to black-
jack U. S. companies still remains."
Rep. Widnall, ranking Republican
member of the House committee
which originated the anti-boycott
measure, led the floor fight in the
House for an outright prohibition
outlawing Arab boycott tactics.
According to Rep. Widnall, a
"needless" behind-the-scenes com-
promise resulted in the watered-
down legislation that still permits
the Arabs to impose boycotts in
the United States.
He revealed that "within min-
panies secure the needed protec-
tion from their Government."

WASHINGTON (JTA) — Secre-
tary of State Dean Rusk informed
Abdel Moneim El-Kaissouni, Dep-
uty Prime Minister of Egypt, that
the United States Government was
prepared to reopen discussions on
granting Egypt $500,000,000 in sur-
plus commodities over the next
three-year period, it was learned
from informed sources.
The Egyptian Official met for
over an hour with Secretary Rusk
at the State Department. William
S. Gaud, Deputy Administrator of
the U.S. Agency for International
Development, participated. Neither
El-Kaissouni nor Gaud would com-
ment on the aid matters discussed
with Rusk. But informed sources
later revealed that the meeting
pertained in large measure to
United States efforts to maintain
a presence in Cairo by continu-
ing the aid program to the Nasser
regime.
The State Department has ap-
parently decided to resume large
scale aid to Egypt despite an
amendment to foreign assistance
legislation expressing the sense of
Congress as opposed to aiding the
Nasser regime.
Chicago Jewish Agencies
Determined to Stay in
Integrating Neighborhood
CHICAGO (JTA) — Synagogues
and other Jewish institutions in an
area of this city affected by popu-
lation changes are determined not
only to give public notice that the
Jews will not desert the region but
also to spend $1,500,000 in the
next two years to expand Jewish
religious and educational activities.
According to the Sentinel, Chi-
cago Jewish weekly, the affected
area is in South and Southeast
Chicago where, since Jan. 1, homes
were purchased by 35 white fam-
ilies and 14 Negro families.
More than 250 residents of the
area heard a report detailing the
region's housing, school and other
facilities delivered by Lester Mou-
scher, chairman of the South Shore
Commission and of a Bnai Brith
chapter.
Rabbi Leonard C. Mishkin, su-
perintendent of the Associated
Talmud Torahs, proposed that the
Jews in the area adopt the slogan
"We Are Here to Stay." His pro-
posal was adopted, and the meet-
ing voted to expend $1,500,000 on
Jewish buildings and improvements
between this year and 1967.
Another of the major partici-
pants in the meeting was Gordon
Sherman, a member of the Board
of Jewish Education. He supported
Rabbi Mishkin's plea that the Jews
of the area "continue to live here
because we like it here."
He said he regretted the timid-
ity of anti-boycott elements who
"compromised prematurely" when
they might have won a showdown
fight by recording the vote of each
member individually for the rec-
ord.
Rep. Widnall announced that
"those of us who insisted upon an
outright prohibition will watch
carefully the results of the new
Commerce Department regulations.
If they have no real effect upon
the Arab boycott as it affects
American exporters, I want to
serve notice on the Administration
that new legislation will be offered
in the second session of the Con-
gress," He added that he had "no
doubt whatsoever that, if these
regulations do not quickly produce
significant results, both the House
and Senate will vote overwhelming-
ly for an outright prohibition."
Rep. Widnall noted that Secre-
tary of Commerce John T. Connor
expressly pointed out in the newly-
published regulations that U.S. ex-
porters "are not legally prohibited
from taking any action, including
utes before the bill came to the the furnishing of information or
