Jews seeking emigration to NEW YORK (JTA)—The Radical Jewish Union of Columbia Univer- sity, reported Sunday it had reach- ed an "understanding" with offi- cials of Temple Emanu-El and that it had therefore cancelled any further Friday visits to the syna- gogue, including one set for last Friday, in efforts to present anti- war arguments to the congrega- tion. Rabbi A. Bruce Goldman, rab- binical adviser to the RJU, and two members were arrested on charges of disrupting services during two of three RJU visits to Friday vesper services. Rabbi Goldman, who led each RJU group for the three consecutive Friday appearances which began May 15, was arrested twice. Victor Levin, a graduate student, and Anne Rosen, a graduating senior at Barnard College were the two arrested RJU members. At a hearing for the three defendents Friday in Criminal Court, trial on these charges was set for Sept. 18 despite efforts by Temple Emanu- El officials to persuade the district attorney's office to drop the charges. District Attorney Kenneth Gribetz insisted that the case go to trial because "this is not a pri- vate matter." He noted that police had been called to the temple and there had Lot G Northland been two violations of law forbid- ding disruption of religious serv- ices. The RJU had said that if the charges were not dropped, it would continue the weekly visits to the synagogue. Rabbi Goldman said the "un- derstanding" had been embodied in a "mutual statement' which said: "Representatives of the Radical Jewish Union and Tem- ple Emanu-El are now agreed that further constructive conver- sations will take place between the two groups on matters of mutual concern, focusing on the Jewish response to pressing so- cial and political issues of our time, such as war, poverty, ra- cism and political repression." He added that the agreement provided for access by RJU mem- bers to the synagogue board of trustees and lay and rabbinic lead- ers through synagogue bulletins and publications, and possibly by addresses to temple groups. The RJU decided to halt its weekly visits, despite failure to have the charges dropped, because of a feel- ing that Temple Emanu-El officials had been "honorable and sincere" in efforts to have the charges cancelled. Israel have been seriously affect- ed by a general tightening of exit policies that apply to all Roman- ian nationals, Washington Post correspondent Dan Morgan report- ed from Bucharest Tuesday. The postwar outflow that reduc- ed the number of Jews in Romania from 400,000 to 100,000 since 1945 has been virtually halted. Last year only 1,200 were granted exit permits and, according to inforrr ed diplomats, this rate has declineti in the first months of 1970, Morgan said. The tightening of restrictions on emigration and travel abroad in general by Romanians is attributed to government policies encouraging population growth and the need to ease the strain of the country's monetary reserves. Hardest hit by the policies are Germans, the second largest ethnic minority in the country after Hun- garians. Some teachers, students, journalists and others in sensitive jobs have lost their posts after applying for emigration, Morgan reported. He cited the case of a gifted Morgan said there was evidence that Arab governments are try- ing to exert pressure on the Bucharest regime to curtail the departure of :Jews for Israel- Arab officials have requested in- formation on the number of Jew- ish emigres. Romania is the only Communist bloc country that did not sever diplomatic relations with Israel during the June 1967 Arab-Israeli war and important trade pacts have been signed between the two nations since then. There have been no officially inspired anti-Zionist campaigns as in Poland and the Soviet Union, and Romanian Jews enjoy a large degree of cultural and religious freedom, Morgan reported. young Jewish mathematics stu- dent who lost his place at the GIFT & FRUIT BASKETS Order Direct From Rodnick Bros.
