- WASHINGTON (JTA) — Sen.
Jacob K. Javits, New York Repub-
lican, called for United States-
Soviet sponsorship of a new United
Nations Security Council resolu-
tion of the Middle East if the
resolution of Nov. 22, 1967 proves
"as, now seems likely, inade-
quate to the task of getting real
negotiations started among the
nations involved."
Sen. Davits' proposal was part
of a five-point program for the
Middle East which he outlined in
a speech on the Senate floor. He
said the new resolution should
specifically address itself to the
ways in which negotiations are to
be carried on to implement the
Nov. 22. resolution.
Sen. Javits also called for
U.S.-Soviet agreement on the
limitation of arms shipments to
the Middle East,' a prospect
which he thought was encour-
aged by the new U.S.-Soviet
nuclear non-proliferation agree-
ment. But "if the Soviet Union
continues to be unwilling to
reach an agreethent on limit-
ing the supply of arms to the
Middle East—indeed until such
time as a workable agreement
is actually reached—it will be
essential for the U.S. to assure
that there is an arms balance
by providing. Israel with such
sophisticated military equipment
as is needed for its security
and which it cannot obtain
elsewhere," Sen. davits said.
The New York legislator also
called for a "presidential initia-
tive" in NATO and with America's
Western allies for a "just and
durable peace in the -Middle East
and for a major international ini-
tiative on the Arab refugee prob-
lem with a view to replacing the
outmoded United Nations Relief
and Works Agency (UNRWA) ap-
proach" by a system that is "self
liquidating rather than self-
perpetuating."
Sen. Javits suggested that the
State Department undertake an
"intensive and imaginative study"
of some form of scientific, eco-
nomic and technical cooperation
in the Middle East that could
serve as a political rallying point
for America's friends there. He
said that Israel need not partici-
pate in such a development "if its
inclusion would create political
obstacles which outweigh the
undoubted contributions it could
make."
its biennial convention here with
an appeal to the Polish govern-
ment "to reverse the course of
anti-Semitism now raging for more
than a year."
In a related resolution, the
council took note of the situation
of the Jews in the Soviet Union
and called on the Soviet govern-
ment to "give its Jewish citizens
complete freedom of religious, ed-
ucational and cultural expression"
and to grant to the Jewish minor-
ity the rights granted to other
nationality groups.
The director of the - Hillel
youth movement in Latin Ameri-
ica, Rabbi Isidore Aizenberg of
Caracas, Venezuela, speaking in
a symposium on Jewish youth
welcomed student revolt. "Let us
not argue whether the means
they use are right or wrong, he
declared. "The point is that
youth is starting to be concerned
with the paths our world is
walking on, with the advances
and setbacks our present civili-
zation is suffering."

Jews From Vilna to Mark
Anniversary of Revolt
TEL AVIV (JTA) — Jews who
were born in Vilna, Lithuania,
once a flourishing center of Jew-
ish life and learning in Eastern
Europe will gather here next
week for a meeting that will mark
the 25th anniversary of the de-
struction of the Vilna ghetto by
the Nazis.
The meeting will be attended
by some 200 delegates from
abroad, according to Dr. Marc
Dvorzecki, chairman of the Na-
tional Committee of Vilna Jews.
They will come from North and
South America and from as far
away as India, Dr. Dvorzecki said.
But none are expected to represent
the estimated 10,000 Jews present-
ly living in Vilna which belongs
to Russia , today as it did prior
to World War I.
Candidate for President
Isn't it time the people picked the
President? See the man who had
the guts to stand up and be
counted ...the candidate
