JNF to Plant USSR Jewry Forest JERUSALEM—Chester Kerr, di- rector of Yale University Press, presented H e b r e w University President Avraham Harman with three books and a scroll, including the first copy of Prof. Judah Goldin's "Song of the Sea," as part of a gift to the university of all the 50 volumes in the Yale University Press stall, at the fifth International Book Fair. Prior to meeting Harman, Kerr toured the university's Givat Ram campus and visited the Jewish National and University Library where he was received by its director, Dr. Israel Adler. The book gift represents a cross- section of recent publications by Yale University Press and includes the Yale Judaica Series, a two- volume set on American silver, as well as studies, philosophy and science. The Hebrew University of Jeru- salem ranks with leading institu- tions in the world as a center of radiation research, said Prof. Gab- riel Stein, speaking at the dedica- tion of the Andy Brickman Memo- rial Accelerator Building erected through the generosity of the Uni- The event, chaired by University President Harman, was attended by David Brown, who had made the endowment in the name of his late wife together with their chil- dren, Stanley and Jack Brown and Mrs. Gertrude Weiner. A Freedom Forest for Soviet Jewry will be planted in the Judean Hills near Shaar Hagai in the vicinity of Jerusalem, through the Jewish National Fund, as a worldwide expression of solidarity with Jews striving to leave the Soviet Union for Israel. Heading the American commit- tee for the new. forest will be Herman L. Weisman, president of the JNF of America. Jack Benny has been named national honorary chairman. A national committee, now in formation, will include the presidents of major American Jewish organizations and other prominent figures. A special tree certificate for this world endeavor on behalf of Russian Jewry will be sent to each donor of trees in the new forest. The recent Brussels Conference on Soviet Jewry adopted the idea of a Freedom Forest as a symbol of the ongoing struggle of Soviet Jews for a new life in Israel. Jew- ish communities in the free world have shown their eagerness to participate in the planting of the forest.

Clingan said that Congress has previously passed legislation to enable the refugees of Hungary, Czechoslovakia and Cuba to emi- grate to this country. "Yet, the current refugee quota to the East- ern Hemisphere would bar thou- sands of Soviet Jews from our shores even if they were allowed to emigrate on a modest scale," he noted. Congressman Edward I. Koch, a New York Democrat-Liberal, has introduced the Soviet Jews Relief Act of 1971 which authorizes 30,000 special visas outside the regular immigration quota system. "Sup- port for this bill would further evi- dence New York's appreciation for the contribution of immigrants to our city and nation," Clingan said. Gahal May Rejoin Govt. if Mrs. Meir Voids Talks LONDON (JTA)—A leader of the Gahal opposition party said his faction might return to Pre- mier Golda Meir's coalition if her government renounced the Jar- ring talks and insisted on direct negotiations for a peace treaty. Haim Landau, of Gahal's mili- tant Herut wing, conceded that there was no chance of this hap- pening as yet, but claimed that recent public opinion polls "show that we are gaining political ground in the country all the time."

MAY 9 with a JEWISH NATIONAL FUND TREE CERTIFICATE `Mystery Jewish Leader' Seen Pressuring Nixon WASHINGTON (ZINS) — Colum- nists Evans and Novak report that an important Jewish personality had petitioned President Nixon to exert more pressure on Israel to mollify her "stubborn" stance in the current diplomatic contest with the Arab world. This move was attributed to a desire on the part of the anony- mous "Jewish leader" to avoid fanning anti-Israel sentiment here. There is some suspicion that the anonymous "leading figure" doesn't exist. Observers are ask- ing if there is any basis in fact for the report, why wasn't the name of this Jewish personality made public? • . HARRY THOMAS Joe Sacco Says: versity's Friends in Milwaukee. Wis.
