Ford versus James Earl Carter Jr. — these are the chief contenders for the coveted role of Chief Executive of this great nation on the crucial Election Day, Tuesday, Nov. 2. Many months of wrangling, suffering, debating and competing for the votes of the American people will come to an end on that day. It is the day on which the power of the ballot will be the deciding factor in a contest that has been marked by much bitterness. On that day the conflict will end and will introduce another period of amity — the only decisive American Way of welcoming differences and of ending them by assuring the rule of the majority. The American voter goes to the polls with only one thought in view: the dignity of a great heritage of democratic action by a free people. It is with this spirit that Americans will go to the polls on Judgment Day for the contenders, on Tuesday, to choose a Chief Executive in the manner of free people who are determined that the basic principles of free- dom and justice shall be retained by the will of the majority, with confidence that the unity of Americans will continue and will be perpetuated once the voter renders his abiding decision on Election Day. GERALD R. FORD Israel-Austria Rift on Immigrants Denied JERUSALEM (JTA) An Israel Foreign Ministry spokesman has denied that there is a crisis-in relations with Austria because the latter country has rejected Israeli proposals to reduce the drop-out rate among Soviet Jews arriving in Vienna with Israeli visas. It was confirmed however that Zeev Shek, assistant director general of the Foreign Ministry in charge of its Eastern European desk and Uzi Narkiss, director of the Jewish Agency's Immigration Department, met with high level Austrian officials in Vienna recently to discuss the problem. According to sources in Jerusalem, the Israeli officials proposed certain changes of procedure in handling Soviet Jewish emigrants in transit and agreements were reached but have not been implemented yet. The nature of the agreements was not disclosed. According to the Viennese newspaper Kurier, Austrian Chancellor Bruno Kreisky rejected an Israeli plan to fly Soviet Jews directly to Israel within the shortest possible time of their arrival in Vienna in order to cut down drop-outs. The rate of drop-outs — Jews leaving the USSR with Israeli visas but opting tTi" I? to the United States or other countries — has reached 50-62 percent of all departing from Russia.
