Renewal of Black-Jewish
Alliance Strongly Urged

SAN FRANCISCO (JTA)—
A leading Black activist has
proposed here that his fellow
Black leaders call a meeting
with Jewish leaders to seek
renewal of the battered alli-
ance between American
Blacks and Jews.
The Rev. Jesse L. Jackson,
president of Operation Peo-
ple United to Save Human-
ity, made the appeal at the
closing session of the 64th an-
nual convention of the Nation-
al Urban League.
He cited as a recent major
cause of strain between the
two groups the issue of job
quotas. He said Blacks favor
such quotas as a solution to
job discrimination and Jews
fear quotas on grounds they
are being used to limit Jew-
ish opportunities but insist
they support wider opportun-
ities for Blacks if based on
criteria of individual merit.
Rev. Jackson told the 1,5-00
persons at the convention
banquet last week that "peo-
ple who marched with us and
demonstrated with us are
now meeting us in the Su-
preme Court" as adversaries
over what Jewish leaders
have described as "reverse
discrimination."
Rev. Jackson listed by
name Vernon E. Jordan, Jr.,
executive director of the Ur-
ban League; Roy Wilkins,
executive director of the Na-
tional Association for the Ad-
vancement of Colored Peo-
ple; and the Rev. David Ab-
ernathy, president of the

dent is guilty or not guilty or
on whether he should be im-
peached or whether he
should resign, but the impli-
cations of the presidential
crisis is getting growing at-
tention among Israelis, the
observers indicated.
One of the sharpest media
comments was made by Eli
Eyal in Maariv, the influen-
tial daily, who warned that
Israeli political leaders
should respond with caution
to any United States urgings
for speedy action in negotia-
tions with the Arab states.
Israel should move ahead on
"the political road," he
wrote, but should realize that
Nixon, "who was a friendly
President to Israel — and
apparently still is, in his
heart — whose balance on
Israel is absolutely positive,
in arms shipments and poli-
tical support — is today a
damaging President for Is-
rael."
Eyal declared that he did
not believe that Nixon had

such Black leaders to "sit
down with leaders of the
American Jewish Committee
and Bnai Brith and assess
our relationship earnestly."
He added that "there is much
to be gained by being to-
gether and too much to lose
by being apart."

"changed his mind against
us' but that the circumstanc-
es in the United States "force
him to weigh American for-
eign policy not according to
pure American interests but
as it is motivated by his own
personal interests."

Eyal asserted that foreign
policy was Nixon's "excell-
ing sphere" and that, to
"keep his head above the
Watergate swamp, he must
demonstrate di plo m a ti c
achievements. Hence the in-
sistence of the Americans for
a speedy Israeli move." Eyal
