WASHINGTON (JTA) —
The House International
Relations Committee unani-
mously voted a resolution
last week calling on Presi-
dent Ford not to make any
new U.S. aid commitments
to any nation that voted for
the United Nations resolu-
tion equating Zionism with
racism, "or for similar mea-
sures" pending full-scale
review by the Congress of
U.S. military and economic
assistance to 7 - ' 10 tons.
The committee's resolu-
tion also asked Ford to iden-
tify those UN programs
which no longer may be
compatible with U.S. princi-
ples and interests and sub-
mit them to Congress
within 90 days.
Under the foreign aid bill
now before Congress, the
Administration has asked
funds for Bahrain, Brazil,
Cyprus, Egypt, Indonesia,
Jordan, Malta, Portugal,
Syria and Turkey, all of
which voted for the anti-
Zionist resolution.
In Chicago last Thurs-
day, between 5,000-7,000
persons representing Jews
and virtually every other
ethnic and religious group
in Chicago jammed Civic
Center Plaza despite inter-
mittent heavy rainfalls to
condemn the UN anti-
Zionist resolution as a
blatant piece of racism
and insult to the American
people.
Gov. Daniel Walker of Il-
linois, addressed the rally.

The Bnai Brith Women

In a letter to The Jewish
News, author-journalist
Robert St. John, said;
"This is a sad week for all
of us. The passage of the
Anti-Zionist Resolution,
even though by a reduced

Locally, the Oakland
County Board of Commis-
sioners unanimously
adopted a resolution con-
demning the UN action and
calling on the President and
Congress to continue their
efforts to have the UN res-
cind its action.
District Court Judge S.
James Clarkson of South-

tion is "a classic example of
preposterous propaganda."
Judge Clarkson quoted the
Bible and several dictionary
definitions of Zionism and
racism to refute the UN
