p Hebron Mayor Proposes ME Solution: 'Palestinian State JERUSALEM (JTA)—The only possible solution to the Palestinian problem is the establishment of a Palestinian state in the West Bank and in the Gaza Strip, Hebron Mayor Sheikh Mohammed AU Jaabari stated in an interview published Sunday in the Arab daily "El Anba." Jaabari said a Palestinian state will be a bridge of friendship between the Arab countries and Israel.

(Israel Prime Minister Golda Meir last week again eliminated consideration of a Palestinian state as a matter for discussion in solving the Arab-Israeli problems. Earlier, both Israel defense and foreign ministers Moshe Dayan and Abba Eban also rejected proposals for a Palestinian state.) of Jewish Events Commentary Page 2 Michigan's Only English-Jewish Newspaper 17515 W. 9 Mile, Rock Opera's Anti-Semitism Exposed as America's Oberammergau Counterpart Suite 865, Southfield, Mich. 48075 356-8400 $8.00 Per Year; This Issue 25c August ,3, 1973 parole Authority to Permit 800 Russian Jews' Entry Into U.S. Narrow House Vote Approves $350,000,000 in Aid to Israel WASHINGTON (JTA)—By a narrow vote, the House of Representatives approved on July 26 a $2,800,000,000 foreign aid authorization measure that will provide $350,000,000 in economic and military assistance to Israel. After a lengthy debate, the House passed the bill for fiscal 1974 by a vote of 188-183. The bill authorizes the extension of $300,000,000 in credit to Israel for military purchases and $50,000,000 for economic support, the same levels of aid that were extended to Israel last year. The administration had requested a reduction in economic support to $25,000,000 because of a strengthening Israeli economy. But the House Foreign Affairs Committee approved the full $50,000,000 amount because of the continued burden of military defense and the substan- tial cost to Israel of servicing its foreign debt, Israel is one of the few coun- tries to have funds specifically earmarked in the authorization bill itself. Other Middle East countries which may receive aid from the general funds established include Jordan, Saudi Arabia and Lebanon. In its presentation to the Foreign Affairs Committee during hearings on the bill, the administration said Jordan would receive about $65,000,000 in economic supporting assistance. In the House debate, Rep. Lee Hamilton (D., hid.), chairman of the subcommittee on the Near East, said that "Jordan continues to need substan- tial support to build and strengthen itself in the aftermath of the September 1970 civil war" between the Jordanian army and Palestinian guerrilla groups. "This request is deemed necessary because of the cutoff in subsidy payments by Libya and Kuwait in 1970, Jordan's need for heavy defense ex- penditures and the need for substantial infra-structure investments," Hamil- ton said. Israel will also receive funds from a $20,000,000 program established to demonstrate American ideas, practices and technology in education. The program will aid American schools and universities abroad. New restrictions on the distribution of the funds will restrict the aid to four institutions, in- cluding one hoaspital and one university in any single cmintry. In the House debate, however, representatives dir ed that the ad- ministrator of the program define the Weizmann Institut Science as "a research institute" rather than a university. This would cicar the way for aid to Hadassah Hospital, and both the Hebrew University and the Weizmann Institute. WASHINGTON (JTA) — Some 800 Soviet Jews now in Rome who have been there several months after leaving the USSR with 'exit permits may have a chance to come to the United States without the customary delay. Attorney General Elli- ott L. Richardson said that he would use a special authority under U.S. immi- gration laws to permit the Jews to come to this country. The exercise of what is known as the Attorney General's Parole Authority will shorten the waiting period from several months to several days. In 1971, for- mer Attorney General John N. 'Mitchell said he would use his parole authority to bring to the U.S. Soviet Jews who had obtained exit visas from the Russian gov- ernment. Richardson said most of the 800 Jews in Rome have no immigration visas to the U.S. and that they have run into a waiting time of several months because of paper work in processing their requests to come to the U.S. After coming to this country as parolees, Soviet citizens may later apply for permanent status. Since 1971 an estimated 425 Soviet Jews and non-Jews have come to the U.S. NEW YORK (JTA)—The action of United States Attorney General Elliot L. Richardson to use his parole authority allowing 800 Soviet Jaws now in Rome quickly to enter the United States is in the finest humanitarian traditions of our government, Carl Glick and Gaynor I. Jacobson, president and executive vice- president of United Hias Service, declared Tuesday. "We have been concerned about the welfare of these refugees who have been under the aegis of our agency in Rome," Glick said. "Many have been waiting there for months unable to work and uncertain about their future. Most do not have U.S. visas. They gathered in Rome after leaving the Soviet Union. They will come here under the U.S. Attorney General's Parole Authority and will later be able to apply for permanent status as USSR Jewish Migrants' American citizens.

V. Ivanov. – o . ne of its members is Jewish writer and journalist D. S. Dobrushin. Asked about the numerous decorations he was wearing, Dobrushin, who speaks some -Hebrew and Yiddish, said, "My true name is David Salomon. I am a general in retire- ment. I am a veteran fighter of the Russian Cavalry units." Dobrushin, who said he is also a writer and a military correspondent, added, "I in- tend to give my impressions in writing when I return to Russia." Prof. Ivanov said the visitors were not an official delegation but one that repre- sents the Russian public. "We came to learn and see for ourselves what goes on in Israel and also to meet friends," he said. Ivanov refused to reply to questions on aliya from the Soviet Union. He said this question is dealt with by the competent au- thorities, but to the best of his knowledge there are "no difficulties or restrictions as to Jewish emigration from Russia." JERUSALEM (JTA)—Leon Dulzin, Jewish Agency treasurer, was elected, in separate actions, by the World Zionist Organization Executive and the Jewish Agency Executive as acting chairman of each body to replace Louis A. Pincus. The WZO Executive also resolved to suggest to the Conference of Jewish Organizations that Mrs. Charlotte Jacobson, chairman of the WZO-American Section, be acting chairman of COJO until a new chairman is elected. Pincus headed these three organizations at the time of his death. Israeli political observers noted that a choice of successor to Pincus probably will be delayed until after the national elections in October to give Premier Golda Meir more leeway after appointing her cabinet. Agency leaders from abroad are letting it be known that they want a man of cabinet rank and are not prepared to accept a Labor Party political appointment unless he fits the bill and would be well-known and acceptable in the Diaspora. Some overseas leaders hinted that if no one of stature is available from the Labor Party ranks—and there is no iron-clad rule that the head of any of these bodies must be a Laborite—they may hold out for Leon Dulzin Dulzin's permanent appointment. Dulzin is the president of the World Union of General Zionists and heads the Liberal Party in Israel. Four prominent -Israelis are mentioned as possible new chairmen of the Jewish Agency. They are Deputy Premier Yigal Allon, who is also education minister; Itzhak Rabin, former chief of staff and ambassador to the United States; Arye Eliav, former Labor Party secretary general; and Yaacov Tsur, chairman of the Jewish National Fund.

Other observers in Jerusalem, how- ever, wondered whether it might not have been wiser to have been satisfied with a U.S. abstention on a watered-down resolu- tion that would not have highlighted so starkly Washington's isolation in its support for Israel. It was suggested here that Israel may have played into Egypt's hands by pressing for the American veto. It might have been better for Israel had it agreed to American attempts to water down the Egyptian draft without demanding that Washington resort to the extreme measure of imposing its veto, these observers thought. The foreign ministry's statement read: "The blocking of the unbalanced and un- just resolution proposed at the Security Council prevented a serious blow at peace prospects in the Middle East by its veto, the United States saved the chance for negotiations, prevented the effective abroga- tion of Resolution 242 as an agreed basis between the parties and enabled Secretary General (Kurt) Waldheim to make his trip to the Middle East next month without un- necessary obstacles.
