Special Committees Act to_ Solve Problem of Aged

Special committees selected 'by the Jewish Welfare Federation and the Jewish Home for the Aged are tackling serious problems af-
fecting the status of the aged. As a result of the inevitability of the abandonment of the Petoskey home, due to serious conditions that have
emerged in :recent years, it is becoming necessary to transfer the patients in that home. Assurances were given The Jewish News this week that
there is no deadline for such removals, that every effort is being made to assist children in temporarily placing parents in nursing homes and
that solutions are sought to the existing pioblem in all seriousness and with as much speed as can possibly be applied to such a task.

Demonstrators Arrested During
Brezhnev Paris Visit; Demands
ltionnt for End 'to Oppressions

PARIS (JTA)—Jewish demonstrators protesting the treatment of Jews in
the Soviet Union dogged the footsteps of Soviet Communist Party Secretary
Leonid Brezhnev as he made his official rounds Tuesday, the first day of his
visit_ to France. Nearly 50 demonstrators were arrested Monday night and
Tuesday morning as they ripped down red flags in the municipal square,
picketed the Soviet Embassy and disrupted wreath-laying ceremonies at the
Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. Police evicted 40 young men and women who
occupied the Soviet Tourist -Bureau and airline offices in the heart of Paris
MOndaY night but no arrests were made.
Wherever Brezhnev's party moved, demonstrators turned up with placards
denouncing Soviet anti-Semitism and demanding emigration rights for Russian
Jews. Ten bearded Jews wearing ..prayer shawls and carrying ram's horns
occupied the official platform in the municipal square moments after the
Brestmev party left the city hall. Police_ promptly hustled them into police
vans. At the Arch of Triumph placards demanding freedom for Russian Jews
were raised as the Soviet leader paid his respects to France's war dead. An
unspecified number of demonstrators were arrested but later released. As the
official party drove up the Champs Elysee, a 19-year-old Russian Jew broke
through the police barriers to thrust a letter at Brezhnev demanding the release
of his father, Benito Boroiikhovin, who was arrested in Moscow last month
after_lie applied for a visa to go to IsraeL The young man, who came from
Israel, and 14 of his companions, members of the Paris-based Jewish Student
Front, were arrested. About 20 young men were arrested Monday night after
they refused to obey police orders to disperse - from the Soviet Embassy.
Dernonstrations were forbidden in that area Embassy officials told a 70-year-
old mother from Israel that Brezhnev had no time to see her.

UNITED NATIONS, N. Y. (JTA) — Israel—along with Jordan, Lebanon and
Saudi Arabia—joined the United States Monday night in a losing effort to declare
the expulsion of the Republic of China (Taiwan) to be an "important question"
requiring a two-thirds vote instead of a majority vote. But then Israel—joined by
at least 17 nations that oppose her Middle East diplomacy—split with the U. S. on
the issue of replacing Taiwan with the People's Republic of China (Peking).
The vote rejecting the "important question" measure was 59-55 with 15
abstentions and two absentees. Among those voting with Israel and the U. S. on
the minority side were Jordan, Lebanon and Saudi Arabia. The majority included
Albania, Algeria, 'Britain, Byelorussia, Ceylon, Czechoslovakia, Egypt, France,
India, Kuwait, Libya, Somalia, the Soviet Union, the -Sudan, Syria, the Ukraine,
Yemen and Yugoslavia. The abstentions included pro-Israel Belgium and Italy.
The vote on replacing Taipei with Peking, taken after the "important ques-
tion" vote and after the subsequent withdrawal from the UN Assembly of
Taiwan, was 76-35 with 17 abstentions and three absentees. At least 18 nations hos-
tile to or critical of Israel's Mid East policy voted with her on the majority side—
Albania, Alberta; Britain, Ceylon, Czechoslovakia, Egypt, France, India, Iraq, Ku-
wait, Libya, Somalia, the Soviet Union, the Sudan, Syria, the Ukraine, Yemen
and Yugoslavia. The majority also included such friendly-to-Israel nations as Bel-
gium, Denmark and Italy. The opposition leader was Israel's only major ally, the
U. S., which was seeking dual Chinese representation. Saudi Arabia was the only
Mid East state to back the U. S. on the second vote. The abstentions included
Jordan and Lebanon.
In the assembly on Tuesday, Israel Ambassador Yosef Tekoah explained his
government's vote. He said that "despite certain shortcomings in the (Albanian)
resolution, its central purpose is to clarify that the government of the People's Re-
public of China is entitled to represent China in the United Nations." Tekoah
noted that the "principle of universality of the UN" required it to admit "every
peace-loving state that applies for it." Furthermore, Tekoah declared, "in cast-

tion with Majority Leader Mike Mansfield,
who said he did not support resolutions of
this type as a matter of principle but was
not opposed to American military assist-
ance to Israel to "even out" Soviet sup-
plies to Egypt.
Javits' action temporarily averted a
floor fight over whether the resolution
should go to the Fulbright committee or
the Armed Services Committee, chaired
by Sen. John Stennis (D., 'Miss.), who did
not endorse the resolution but is known
to be in favor of it.
Dr. Lloyd Riddick, the Senate parlia-
mentarian, told the JTA that the resolu-
tion was in "a state of suspended anima-
tion" and may be long delayed in coming
to the Senate floor despite its endorsement
by 44 Democrats and 34 Republicans. Be-
fore, coming up for a roll-call vote, any
Senate member can demand further study
