Mrs. Charlotte Jacobson Explains Errors in WZO Election Controversy

under certain conditions,
has been misrepresented in
press reports from Israel,
according to Mrs. Charlotte
Jacobson, chairman of the
World Zionist Organization-
American Section, who has
just returned from the Jew-
ish Agency Assembly and
General Council meetings in
Jerusalem.
Pointing out that two sep-
arate issues are involved,
Mrs. Jacobson explained
that the recent Jerusalem
vote does not affect internal
organizational elections to
assure opportunities for
new delegates to attend the
Congress.
"What is at issue," she
said, "is the number of dele-
gates each Zionist party is
entitled to. This is generally
decided by the proportion of
votes cast in the elections. In
the United States it is sub-
ject to two limitations: the
largest group is not to have
more than 50 percent of the
delegates to the Congress,
and the smallest is not to
have less than three dele-
gates."
Elections to the forth-
coming Congress are to be

Zionist federations are
agreed on the number as-
signment of delegates per

Ironically enough, she
continued, it is the Israelis
"who talk about the same
tired people arguing the
same tired issues,' who are
most aroused over the Gen-
eral Council ruling: it is the
Israelis who do not vote for
delegates. They do not have
Congress elections in Israel
and have their delegations
assigned by the party hier-
archies. Let the Israelis
fight for democratic proce-
dures in Israel. Democratic
election of delegates from
the U.S. organizations is not
at issue."
Persistent Canadian Physician
Seeks Out Last Jew in China
TORONTO (JTA) — Can-
ada% stormy petrel Morton
Shulman, physician, cru-
sading coroner, militant
member of the legislature,
television host and million-
aire, has discovered "the last
Jew in China."
Among Dr. Shulman's
numerous activities is con-
tributing a column several
times a week to the Toronto
Sun, a morning tabloid-
sized newspaper. In a recent
column headed "The Last
Jew in China," he recalls his
visit to China in 1958 when
there was still a tiny com-
munity of 85 surviving Jews
in Shanghai, most of them
due to leave.
The leader of this rem-
nant of a community was a
60-year-old "stocky, muscu-
lar and bright-eyed Rus-
sian-born physician" named
P. Yudalevich.
Last month, Shulman
was again in Shanghai
and asked to be taken to
the old Jewish community
center. Though he was
told "the Jews had all
gone" as he expected they
would, he decided to pay
the visit if only to satisfy
his curiosity. (In 1972 the
late Premier Chou En-Lai
had stated "the Jews have
all gone".)
He found the old commu-
nity center was now a
Soviets Beat Jew
Who Met Israelis
NEW YORK (JTA) —
Sarafima Starobinitz, a So-
viet Jew residing in noscow,
has been harassed and
hounded by the Soviet au-
thorities for nine months
since she spoke with visit-
ing Israeli athletes, Al Ti-
dom Association sources in
Moscow reported.
Miss Starobinitz, a stu-
dent, attended an interna-
tional sports event at the
Lusniki Sports Palace in
Moscow Sept. 19, 1975.
After the competition, she
spoke to members of the Is-
raeli team who invited her
to dine with them at the res-
taurant of the Hotel Rosia.
Shortly afterwards, she was
taken to a police station
where she was beaten and
accused of being a street-
walker preying on foreign-
ers, Al Tidom reported.
Since then Miss Starobin-
itz has been hounded con-
stantly by the Soviet police
and subjected to numerous
interrogations and other
more serious harassment.
The most recent move
against her has been her
expulsion from the institute
which she attended, accord-
ing to Al Tidom.
Chinese public school. The
garden was now largely oc-
cupied by a warren of tiny
rooms fully occupied by
Chinese. On asking if any
Jews were there he was told
laughingly "All gone long
ago." But when he asked
about Dr. Yudalevich, an
elderly Chinese pushed
through to him calling out
"That is my master."
To his amazement the
man said Dr. Yudalevich
was still alive and in Shan-
ghai and then he asked
Shulman: "You Jewish doc-
tor? You came here many
years ago!" It was Lee Yue
Shul whom Dr. Shulman
recalled as Dr. Yudalevich's
faithful servant.
Dr. Shulman was told
that about 12 elderly Jews
had remained in Shanghai
but they had died and Dr.
Yudalevich was the only
one now left. He also said
that he (Lee) was now 67
years old and had worked
for Dr. Yudalevich since
he was 14. "I shall look
after him till he dies."
He found Dr. Yudalevich
on the second floor of an old
house with an elderly
Chinese woman, his friend
for the past 40 years. Yudal-
evich, now 88, had become
shrivelled by a stroke but
his mind was still acute. He
greeted the Canadian physi-
cian with "I remember you."
Shulman writes that they
both "broke down and
cried."
Rabin Applauds
Portugal Leader
JERUSALEM (JTA) — In
a message congratulating
Portuguese Socialist Pre-
mier Mario Soares on his as-
sumption of office, Premier
Yitzhak Rabin this week
expressed the hope that re-
lations between Israel and
Portugal "will develop to
our mutual satisfaction."
There has been some opti-
mism here as to the pros-
pect of Soares' regime es-
tablishing full diplomatic
ties with Israel.
At present only consular
relations exist between the
two countries — the situa-
tion that pertained during
the Salazar regime.
Recently a top Portuguese
Socialist Party official vis-
ited here as guest of Israel's
Socialist Party — and this
heightened speculation that
a possible upgrading of rela-
tions was in the offing. Offi-
cials say, however, that the
issue was not specifically
broached with the visitor.
