36 Friday, July 20, 1919 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 emigration of a substantial number of Romanian Jews LET US CATER YOUR PARTY HOME, HALL, FACTORY, OFFICE OR OUTSIDE • Disco Parties • Birthdays • Anniversaries • Poolside Parties • Bar Mitzvas • Showers • Reunions • Bowling Banquets • Golf Outings KONEY ISLANDS WITH ALL THE TRIMMINGS GREEK SALADS KONEY ISLAND INN 357-5454 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.

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.
