WASHINGTON (JTA) —
The Soviet Union's repudia-
tion of its 1972 trade agree-
ment with the United States
stems primarily from its dis-
appointment over the restric-
tion of U.S. government funds
for Siberian development, ac-
cording to Sen. Henry M.
Jackson (D.Wash).

Jackson said at a news con-
ference at the Capitol mainly
devoted to U.S. domestic en-
ergy problems.
"Congress is in no mood
to grant such credits when
we are in such dire economic
straits at home" Jackson add-
ed.
"There is no relenting by
the Congress on the issue of
congressional control over
credits to the Soviet Union
and the •main interest of the
Soviet Union is large credits.
Immigration doesn't loom
that large compared with
credits," Jackson said.

their names which link U.S.
trade benefits to the Soviet
Union's easing of emigration
practices regarding Jews and
others, said the Soviet gov-
ernment appeared to have
been led to think that "there
would be a cornucopia of
credit" from the United
States totaling "billions of
dollars."
Under the new law for the
U.S. Export-Import Bank, the
Soviet Union is restricted to
$300 million in loans over the
next four years.
Vanik rejected the view
that the Soviet repudiation
was caused by the Soviet em-
igration issue. "Congress cer-
tainly has a right to impose
any kind of conditions it de-
sires on the things it offers
as a trading inducement to
other nations," Vanik said.
He noted that American
businessmen can export to
the Soviet Union on "their
own terms and on their own
credit."
Rabin Rejects Link Between
Trade Agreement, Emigration
JERUSALEM ( J T A ) —
Premier Yitzhak Rabin re-
jected the version that the
Soviets had cancelled the
trade agreement with the
U.S. because it was linked
to Jewish emigration. In a
statement delivered at the
weekly Cabinet session, Rabin
said he was convinced there
was no foundation for that
theory.
However, whatever the rea-
sons for the Soviet move
were, Rabin promised that
the political campaign for
the right of Soviet Jewry to
emigrate, and not to be ha-
rassed, would continue to be

Merchant • Community Leader • Revolutionary Leader
r
oday, if you go to Newport, Rhode
Island, you can visit the place called
"Lopez Dock," named after Aaron
Lopez, a power in Newport in the
years just preceding the Revolution. At the
time, Newport was described as a shipping cen-
ter that "New York can never hope to rival ..."
And Aaron Lopez, owner or part-owner of
many transoceanic and coastal trading ships,
was one of the leading citizens of the port's large
Jewish community.
Known for religious liberalism, the Rhode
Island city had become the home of a substan-
tial number of capable, well-educated Jews,
among the most affluent in the Colonies.
.1 -1 1752, from Portugal, came Aaron Lopez,
; Sephardic Jew described later by Ezra Stiles,
fresident of Yale University, as "a merchant of
first eminence; for honor and extent of com-
mer' probably surpassed by no merchant in
Ai ;a." In addition, Lopez was known as an
active force in cementing friendly relations
between faiths. He earned the respect of Chris-
tians, as well as Jews, and no ship ever left his
.,.-dock on either's Sabbath—Saturday or Sunday.
Lopez himself laid the first cornerstone of New-
- port's famous Touro Synagogue (oldest in the
U.S. and now a national shrine) in 1759.
In strong sympathy with Revolutionary patriots,
Lopez was forced to flee Newport to Massachu-
setts when the British attacked.

During the War, the city suffered such heavy
losses that it never recovered. Neither did Aaron
Lopez who lost virtually all he had acquired
during his many years of successful trading.
When attempting to return to Newport after
independence was won, Lopez was tragically
drowned in a freak accident.
Ezra Stiles eulogized him with these words ...
"He did business with the greatest ease and
clearness; always carried about him a sweetness
of behavior, a calm urbanity, an agreeable and
unaffected politeness of manners."
A fitting tribute to Aaron Lopez—one of
many Jewish-American patriots worthy of
remembrance.

NY Study Begun -
on Alcoholic Jews
NEW YORK (JTA) — A
study of alcoholism among
Jews has been started by the
Commission on Synagogue
Relations of the Federation
of Jewish Philanthropies. The
study is in the form of a
questionnaire which has been
distributed to synagogues in
the metropolitan area, and
to federation family, welfare
and vocational service agen-
cies.
The questionnaire seeks to
determine how many syna-
gogues are ready to cooper-
ate in meeting the problem
of alcohol abuse. It asks
specific questions about the
incidence of alcoholism as
related to family unrest, un-
employment, accidents, ir-;
regularity in synagogue par-
ticipation and requests for
counseling by the rabbi. The
findings and their implica-
tions will be discussed at a
special meeting of the task
force in February.
one of the central issues in
the life of world Jewry.
Rabin expressed th e belief
that eventually the Soviet
government, too, would un-
derstand the need to allow
emigration. "The struggle of
Soviet Jews for aliya preced-
ed all agreement on trade,"
he said.
Israel would, therefore, con-
tinue to support Soviet Jews
who wish to emigrate, "be-
cause of our elementary con-

homeland, Israel," Rabin de-
clared.
Ben-Gurion, Remembered in NY
NEW YORK (JTA)—David
Ben-Gurion, who has been
called the father of Israel,
was remembered Sunday, as
Ambassador David Rivlin,
Consul General of Israel in
New York, told the American
Zionist Federation that "Ben-
Gurion's departure last year
was a Jewish national loss."
At the public memorial
meeting here several hundred
American Zionist Federation
and Jewish organization
members and guests were on
hand to hear Rivlin, Pinhas
Cruso, honorary president of
the Labor Zionist Alliance,
and Mrs. Faye Schenk, presi-
dent of the AZF.
Citing what he termed the
"sense of a great Jewish and
Israeli loss" at the death of
Ben-Gurion, Rivlin said that
the loss "was amplified
against the background of
the dramatic events of las+
year, due to the Yom Kippur
War and the ensuing develop-
ments." Ben-Gurion died De-
cember 1, 1973.
"There has been no Jew in
our time who invoked the re-
spect and admiration of the
leaders of the world as David
Ben-Gurion and there was no
one who gave such great dig-
nity and honor to our plagued
and battered Jewish people
as he did."
Rivlin said, "Let us remem-
ber not only his great
achievements but also his
great and very brave con-
cerns: his deep desire for
peace with our neighbors; his
dream about Jewish aliya
from the free, Western coun-
tries; his call as well as his
personal example for the
settlement and the revival of
the Negev and his faith and
convictoin in regards to the
spiritual and social qualities
of our life as a nation."
Cruso said that "it seems
that history had chosen Ben-
Gurion•for the great mission
and he was conscious of it.
He had been preparing him-

self for the leadership role
from his early youth."
Mrs. Schenk, who chaired
the meeting, cited a number
of Ben-Gurion's qualities. She
recalled "his love of people,
his love of Zionists, his love
of all those who shared his
love of Israel deserved his
personal attention and got it."
New Aliya Agency
NEW YORK—The Union of
Orthodox Jewish Congrega-
tions of America and the Na-
tional Council of Young Is-
rael announced the formation
of an Orthodox aliya depart-
ment to co-ordinate the activ-
ities for both organizations.
