Michigan Congressmen Join Effort
on Amendment to East-West Trade Bill

As the vote looms closer on
the controversial East-West
trade bill, efforts are mount-
ing locally to inform Michi-
gan's congressmen of Jewish
concern for the Jackson and
Vanik amendments to the
bill.
The Jackson Amendment,
Henry
Sen.
proposed by
Jackson, would deny most fa-
vored nation tariff treatment
and participation in U. S.
credit programs to countries
that deny their citizens the
right to emigrate or which
impose prohibitive taxes on
emigration. The companion
Vanik Amendment has been
proposed in the house.
Sen. Robert Griffin has no-
tified Jewish Community
Council President Hubert
Sidlow of his intention to vote
for the Jackson Amendment.
It was expected that Sen.
Philip A. Hart. who support-
ed the amendment prior to
adjournment of the last Con-
gress, would do the same.
The Council has contacted
all other congressmen in the
state to urge their support
for the Vanik Amendment.
The first affirmative replies
were received from Congress-
men Martha Griffiths (Dem.,
17th District) and Donald
Riegle (Rep., Flint).
Congressman William S.
Broomfield (Rep., 19th) in•
formed The Jewish News
Tuesday that he will cooper•
ate in pressing for adoption
of the Vanik Amendment.
Rep. Broomfield met in
Washington Monday with Dr.
Jack Greenberg, president of
the Zionist Organization of
Detroit, and Mrs. Greenberg,
and with Mrs. Louis Panush,
in a review of issues affect-
ing the Jewish status in the
Soviet Union and the Middle
East situation. On all scores,
Rep. Broomfield is among
Israel's strongest supporters
and a defender of rights of
Jews in Russia.

Jackson stressed recently
that "while there may have
been some erratic instances
of exemption from emigra-
tion restrictions, Soviet policy
remains one of great and ca-
pricious cruelty." He said
that: "the formal promulga-
tion of the so-called 'educa-
tion tax' by the Soviet gov-
ernment will only serve to
strengthen the resolve of the
Congress to withhold trade
concessions from the Soviet
Union."
Noting that three-fourths of
the members of the Senate
joined in cosponsorship of his
amendment in the last ses-
sion of Congress, Jackson
said "I can assure you that
there will he no let-up in our
efforts."
A resolution adopted at the
annual midwinter meeting of
the ZOA's national executive
committee, called on the ad-
ministration and Congress to
make Soviet revocation of the
visa tax and cessation of
arms, training and financial
aid to terrorists "conditions
ofr passage and implementa-
tion of the treaty."

pating in the shipment of

cy has learned.

JDL Warns of New Violence
Planned Against Soviets
NEW YORK (JTA) — A
Jewish Defense League
spokesman accused the
"American Jewish Establish-
ment" of "unbelievable lack
of vision" in fighting the So-
viet Union over the education
tax imposed on Jewish emi-
grants and warned that "a
new wave of violence" would
soon break out against Soviet
premises and personnel in
the U. S.
David Fisch, executive di-
rector of the JDL, claimed in
a statement issued here that
the recent publication in Mos-
cow of the education tax law
and its attendant regulations
was an indication that the
Soviet authorities have no in-
tention or rescinding the mea-
sure.
"Once again we have
learned the ineffectiveness of
peaceful, diplomatic protests
to influential men, to men of
importance," Fisch said.

ment committee, said that a
U.S. Treasury Department
regulation published on Jan.
4 allows this tax advantage
if terminating private foun-
dations complete transfers of
their assets within 45 days
of the Treasury Department
regulation (Feb. 20, 1973).
The termination of such
foundations is encouraged
under the tax reform law of
1969 which allows several
advantages when such funds
are transferred to a public
charity or publicly supported
organization which has been
certified as such for at least
five years. For example,
assets of private foundations
turned over to a public char-
ity can be allocated for spe-
cific charitable purposes by
the donors at the time of
termination.
Transfers which are com-
pleted after the Feb. 20 dead-
line will be subject to the tax
on net investment income.
Taxes which have been paid
on such income by private
foundations terminating be-
fore the deadline will be re-
funded.

Circulation of Tekoah's
Letter Met UN Rules
UNITED NATIONS (JTA)
—Kurt Waldheim, secretary
general of the United Na-
tions, in a reply to a letter
from UN Soviet Ambassador
Yakov Malik, asserted that
the circulation of a letter,
dated Dec. 11, 1972, from Is-
raeli Ambassador Yosef Te-
koah, was made according to
UN regulations over the
years.
The letter in question was
an appeal from 239 Soviet
Jews charging the Soviet
government with violations of
the General Assembly's Dec-
laration of Human Rights.

Meanwhile, there is no fur-
ther decision about circulat-
ing another letter from Te-
koah, charging anti-Semitism
in the Soviet Union, as a doc•
ument of the General Assem-
bly. The letter, sent on Jan.
15 to Waldheim, accused the
Soviet government of racial
and religious discrimination
against Jews.
Tekoah deplored the new
wave of the supervised anti-
Semitic campaign in the So-
viet mass media.
