Jewish Leaders Insist They're Standing Firm on Jackson-Mills-Nanik Bill Despite Pressure By JOSEPH POLAKOFF JTA Washington Bureau WASHINGTON (JTA) — American-Jewish organiza- tional leaders declared Tues- day that they will maintain full support for the Jackson- Mills/Vanik legislative pro- posals affecting Soviet emi- gration policy. This conclusion emerged at a meeting- with senators Henry M. Jackson (D., Wash.) and Abraham Ribi- coff (D., Conn.), the Jewish Telegraphic Agency was in- ormed by Capitol Hill sources. • Exclusive at SPITZER'S 10 Mile & Coolidge Dexter Davison Center Marc Chagall Complete Works Retail $35 $ I 595 SUPER SPECIAL The leaders made clear that there is absolutely no change in their position of full support for the legisla- tion sponsored in the Senate by Jackson and in the House by Rep. Wilbur Mills (D., Ark.) and Charles A. Vanik (D., Ohio) and backed by overwhelming bi-p artisan support. Speculation had arisen that if the proposed legislation, which bars tariff equality and credits to the Soviet Union until it ends emigra- tion restrictions on any of its citizens, were to be dropped, the Soviet govern- ment would be more amen- able toward softening its position against Israel in the current Middle East crisis. Despite the contradictions in the Soviet and American policies toward the Middle East, the Nixon administra- tion steadfastly favors grant- ing both equal tariffs and credits to the Soviet Union, as it had pledged in the Soviet-American agreement announced months ago. The Jewish leaders' meet- ing with the senators, which lasted about 40 minutes, cli- maxed a-round of discussions they have had in Washington during the past two weeks on both the Jackson-Mills Vanik proposals and the Middle East situation, JTA was told.

Practically, the argument was presented, the result would be the same. The Soviet Union would not have equality in tariffs either way since MFN is prohibited to it under present law. Inclu- sion of Mills-Vanik legislation or the Jackson Amendment in the trade act would serve to stigmatize the Soviet gov- ernment anew. Some Jewish leaders, it was said here, sympathized with the administration view in the light of current Soviet- American relations and were * * Soviets Allow 4,200 to Leave During October Meany Gets AJC Award NEW YORK — George Meany, president, AFL-CIO, has been named as the first recipient of the American Jewish Committee Demo- cratic Heritage Award, it was announced by Elmer L. Winter, president of the American Jewish Committee. • Presentation of the honor will take place at a dinner Dec. 17 at the Waldorf- Astoria Hotel in New York. The tribute to Meany will be made by Justice Arthur J. Goldberg, past president of the American Jewish Com- mittee. Theodore W. Kheel, noted labor mediator and impartial chairman of the Trari-sit Industry of New York, is serving as chairman of the event. Jewish Hospitals Hit by Walkout LONDON — According to diplomatic sources in Mos- cow, it was reported that 4,200 Jews were allowed to emigrate in October. The previous record was set in September, when 3,650 Soviet. Jews were granted exit visas. The Soviet Union has allowed 28,000 Jews to leave the country so far this year, sources said. Meanwhile, Valery Panov, the ballet dancer whose ap- plication for a visa to Israel has been blocked for 19 months, has announced he and his wife have begun a hunger strike in protest of the Soviet government's re- fusal to let them leave. The 35-year-old Panov was dismissed from the Kirov troupe in Leningrad after he asked for an exit permit in March 1972. He said that since the dismissal, he and his wife, dancer Galena Ra- gozina faced "professional death." Panov said he was ready to starve himself "to the end" and his wife will stop before she is too weak to care for him. NEW YORK (JTA)—A va riety of emergency proced- ures were put into effect Wednesday at the 15 Jewish hospitals and homes which were among the 48 voluntary institutions here hit by a strike of 30,000 technical ser- vice and maintenance work- ers. The walkout which began Tuesday was called by Local 1199 of the Drug and Hospital Workers which represents an estimated 9,500 workers in the 15 Jewish institutions which have some 8,000 pa- tients, many of them bed- ridden. Spokesmen for the Jewish homes and hospitals like those of the other affected facilities said the effects of the strike might be severe on the elderly patients. William Abelow, executive director of the League for Voluntary Hospitals and Homes which negotiates for the 48 institutions, said that generally the member insti- tutions had stopped admit- ting nonemergency cases late last week and postponed some nonvital operations. He added that some institutions had sent recuperating patients home. All outpatient clinics canceled activities Wednes- day. 40th Annual Meeting NEW YORK — The Jewish Labor Committee will open its 40th anniversary conven- tion here Nov. 16 at the Roosevelt Hotel. Albert Shanker, president of the United Federation of Teachers, and a group of liberals and educators will hold a discussion on "Labor Meets the Press." The eve- ning session will honor the founders of the JLC. prepared to tell congressional supporters of Jackson-Mills Vanik that they would not object to dropping of Title Four if its congressional spon- sors desire. The House is now sched- uled to debate and vote on the Trade Reform Act of 1973 next week. The Mills-Vanik legislation, as presently amended to the trade act, prohibits equality of tariffs, or most-favored- nation treat- ment, but says nothing about credits. However, Congress- man Vanik had been author- ized by the Rules Committee to request a House decision on credits which were elimi- nated from- the amendment on jurisdictional grounds in the Ways and Means Com- mittee. The vote on his motion will test the strength in the House of the measure as a whole. The feeling in the Capitol at present is that the House will adopt the Mills-Vanik pro- posal as its sponsors origi- nally had set forth. THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS riday, November 9, 1973-19 Christadelphian Gift to Israel It was reported from Lon- don this week that a gener- ous bequest was made to the Jewish National Fund by the late Edwin George Speak- man, a Christadelphian.
