"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. Rep. Charles A. Vanik (D. Ohio), co-author with Jack- son of the legislation bearing Maxwell House® Coffee (Honors Famous Jewish-American Patriots 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 AARON LOPEZ 1731-1782 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. Good to the Last Drop® 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.

GENERAL FOODS 4 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- Each man the architect of viction that it is the basic privilege of every Jew where- his own fate.—Appius Caecus ever he is to come to his 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- THE DETROIT JEWISH HEWS Friday, January 24,1975-17 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."
