THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS
Warning Issued on Romania MFN; Low Emigration of Jews Cited
NEW YORK (JTA)
Jacob Birnbaum, national
director of the Center for
Russian and East European
Jewry, urged "great cau-
tion" on the issue- of Jewish
emigration from Romania
in light of that country's
"poor record" since 1975.
Birnbaum, who noted
that the center has been in-
strumental in obtaining the

in recent years, was com-
menting on the recent re-
ported "understanding" be-
tween some Jewish organ-
izations and Romanian dip-
lomats which may resolve
the problem ofJewish emig-
ration.
This was an apparent
reference to a statement is-
sued last week in Washing-
ton by Jack Spitzer,
president of Bnai Brith In-
ternational and represent-
ing the Conference of
Presidents of Major Ameri-
can Jewish Organizations,
that the leaders of these
organizations were giving
an unqualified endorse-
ment to the continuation by
the United States of most-
favored-nation status to
Romania "on the strength of
understandings between
the Conference of
Presidents and the Roma-
nian government."
According to a study by
the center, the rate of
Jewish emigration from
Romania has plunged
from 250-350 monthly in
the early 1970s to 50 a
month in 1979, while the
number of Jews who
sought to leave "re-
mained heavy."
As of June 30, only nine
passportS had been issued
for Romanian Jews for July.
Despite Romania's com-
mitment to comply with the
Jackson-Vanik Amend-
ment and Bucharest's
ratification of the Helsinki

Agreement, "new emigra-
tion obstacles and harass-
ments have multiplied since
then," the center said.
Birnbaum said that
"without very solid evi-
dence of good faith last-
ing over a period of at
least six months, Con-
gress would be in viola-
tion of its own laws in
providing further exten-
sions of most-favored-
nation trade status at this
time."
These assurances and
evidence, Birnbaum stated,
should include written as-
surances of: intention to
comply with the Jackson-
Vanik Amendment; recog-
nition of a simple letter of
intent to emigrate as being
the first step to simplifica-
tion of the emigration pro-
cedure; immediate steps to
release long-separated
families, at least 500 by
September 1979, leading to
a reversion to the 250-350
'monthly emigration rate;
and - granting amnesty to
several dozen former
"scapegoat" Jewish pris-
oners from the 1960s, as
promised last summer, then
giving them the opportu-
nity to emigrate.
NY's Jewish. Legislators
Push Carter on Jerusalem
ALBANY, N.Y. (JTA) —
Forty-four Jewish members
of the New York State
Legislature, brought to-
gether by the National
Association ofJewish Legis-
lators, have signed a peti-
tion to President Carter,
urging him not to apply
pressure to partition
Jerusalem and to "resist
whatever pressure the PLO
and Arab nations may apply
to accomplish this end."
The petition states that
the legislators are "deeply
alarmed that the effort to
sever the Holy City will ne-
gate all the great work that
Teddy Kollek, Mayor of
Jerusalem, and the Israeli
government have done to
unify the city, protect the
religious rights of Chris-
tians, Moslems, Jews and
others."
Stressing that they "ad-
mire the great historical
achievement you have
made against heavy odds to
negotiate a peace treaty be-
tween Egypt and Israel,"
the petitioners state that
any effort by the U.S. gov-
ernment to split Jerusalem
will vitiate "much of the
hard work you have done to
achieve peace in the Middle
East."
According to Albert J.
Abrams, executive direc-
tor of the National Asso-
ciation of Jewish Legis-
lators, this is the first time
that New York Jewish
legislators have ever un-
ified behind an issue, and
it reflects their
"heightened concerns"
regarding Jerusalem.
Camps to Test
Holocaust Units
NEW YORK — To in-
crease knowledge about the
Holocaust among Jewish
teenagers and pre-teens,
the Memorial Foundation
for Jewish Culture has
awarded a grant of $20,000
to the Jewish Welfare Board
and the American Associa-
tion for Jewish Education to
develop Holocaust program
models in informal Jewish
settings.
Five different program
models will be tested this
summer at Jewish com-
munal camps. The pro-
grams will include model
Holocaust observances and
retreats.
The petition stresses that
peace efforts can be
"eroded" by giving the PLO
and other Arabs "the part of
Jerusalem that Jordan
seized in 1948 and that was
recovered by Israel in
1967." The 44 signers in-
clude Assemblyman Stan-
ley Fink, speaker of the As-
sembly; Senator Manfred
Ohrenstein, minority
leader of the Senate; and
Senator Emanuel Gold, de-
puty minority leader.
