Christian Leaders Ask
Freedom for Soviet Jews
NEW YORK (JTA) — A
plea for freedom for Soviet
Jews has been issued by a
group of prominent Christian
leaders who called on all
New Yorkers to speak out
against the growing repres-
sion of Jews in the USSR.
The clergymen, represent-
ing hundreds of thousands of
Christians, urged people of
all faiths to express their
support of beleaguered Soviet
Jews by participating in
"Solidarity Day"—to be spon-
sored on Sunday in Manhat-
tan by the Greater New York
Conference on Soviet Jewry.
They made their comments
at a news conference held at
the Institute of Human Re-
lations, Manhattan.
Participating the news ses-
sion were the Rev. Dr. Bry-
ant Kirkland, senior minister
of the Fifth Avenue Presby-
terian Church; the Rev. Dr.
M. L. Wilson, chairman of
the National Committee of
Black Churchmen; the Rev.
Edward Flannery, executive
secretary of the Secretariat
for Catholic-Jewish Relations
of the National Conference of
Catholic Bishops; and Rabbi
Marc Tanenbaum, co-chair-
man of the American Jewish
Committee's department of
interreligious affairs.
The clergymen emphasized
that stepped-up persecution
of Soviet Jews and tighter
restrictions against emigra-
tion imposed by the Soviet
government in recent months
underscore the fact that the
plight of Jews in the USSR
is a "moral issue that trans-
cends all religious bounda-
ries."
It was pointed out that
more than 40 prominent
clergymen — priests, minis-
ters and rabbis — will "rep-
resent" Soviet Jewish "pris-
oners of conscience" in the
Solidarity Day freedom
march and rally.
Sen. Henry M. Jackson (D.
Wash.), author of the Jack-
son Amendment to bar trade
concessions to the Soviet
Union until it drops all bar-
riers to free emigration, will
be the main speaker at the
rally.

Another speaker, the radi-
cal Angela Davis, denounced
critics of the Soviet Union
and American diplomats who
"defile our people with their
lies and manipulations."
"Every day it seems, every
hour, our people are being
bombarded with lies about
crimes in the camp of social-
ism," she said, charging that.

No Change Seen
in British Policy
LONDON (ZINS) — Eng-
land's new Labor govern-
ment will maintain the pro-
Arab policy pursued by the
ousted Conservative regime
if Queen Elizabeth's address
on the opening of Parliament
is an indication.
In her remarks, prepared
for her by Prime Minister
Harold Wilson, the queen
stated that the government
supports the view that Israel

lands to the Arabs.

Kuwait Buys Mirage Jets,
OKs Aid to Syria, Egypt, PLO
PARIS (JTA)—The French
Defense Ministry has an-
nounced that France will
deliver an undisclosed num-
ber of sophisticated Mirage
F-1 fighter jets to Kuwait.
According to well-informed
sources, the arms deal in-
volves 32 aircraft with spare
parts at an estimated $300,-
000,000.
The sale, in exchange for
oil, also involves the con-
struction of a radar network
and early warning system,
according to sources. The
agreement makes Kuwait the
first Middle East country to
acquire these jets, which so
far have been sold to South
Africa and Spain and are
used by the French air force.
Sheikh Saad of Kuwait is-
ued an official communique
here stating that "we are
free to use these planes when
and wherever we please."
He added that the Mirage
F-1 jets, which are equipped
with air-to-air and air-to-
ground missiles, "are the
most highly perfected combat
jets currently being used."
French and Pakistani air
force pilots will train the
Kuwaiti air force pilots in
flying the jets. The French
beat out the United States,
which was offering Kuwait
the Northrop F-5 Tiger and
McDonnel Douglas Phantom
F-4 fighter and strike jet
aircraft.
The Kuwait parliament last
weekend approved an appro-
priations bill granting $525,-
000,000 in aid to Arab coun-
tries directly engaged in the
fight against Israel.
Sheikh Saad Al Abdallah
As Sabah, Kuwait's interior
and defense minister, told a
news conference the money
would go to Syria, Egypt,
Jordan, Lebanon and the
Palestine Liberation Organi-
zation.
The sheikh declined to say
what each recipient would
get. But official sources said
the largest share would go to
Syria because it is currently
engaged in daily fighting with
Israel on the Golan Heights
Kuwait and Saudi Arabia
were the main financial sup-
porters of Egypt and Syria
in the Yom Kippur War.
King Faisal of Saudi Arabia
earlier sent a check for $100,-
000,000 to Egyptian President
Anwar Sadat.

REHOVOT — An improved \ I
technique for measuring the
rate of blood-flow in the
arteries has been developed
in the electronics department
of the Weizmann Institute
and is undergoing evaluative
-tests.
Under present procedures,
a patient suffering from
peripheral vascular disease
undergoes an angiographic
examination before surgery.
This examination consis — of
the injection of co;
material into blood vessels,
so that an X-ray shows the
location and extent of the
blockage.

scientists, working with phy-
sicians from the X-ray de-
partment at the Sheba (Tel
Hashomer) Medical Center
take the results from the
angiographic tests, and then,
without submitting the pa-
tient to any further exam-
ination, process the informa-
tion through a newly devel-
oped photo-electric system to
assess the quantity of the
blood-flow and the physical
dimensions of the blood
vessel.
