Jewish Vote Not a Myth: Kennedy Beats Carter in N.Y. Protest
President Jimmy Carter
heard the loudest criticisms
of all, in the echo that came
from New York Tuesday
night.
This was one time, an
analyst commented, when
Jews in the Empire State
didn't mind being charged
with voting in a spirit
charged with Jewish par-
tiality.
In New York, Jews also
said they were teaching the
White House a lesson on the
agonies of inflation — as a
bonus to the protest against
some _of the prejudices

"In his triumph over
the President in New
York and Connecticut,
Senator Kennedy may
have rescued the dignity
of the Democratic Party,"
a prominent Democrat
said.
On the Republican ticket,
Ronald Reagan similarly
has strong Jewish backing.
He is supported by Jacques
Torczyner, noted Zionist
leader, and in his corner
also is Maxwell Rabb, who
was on the staff of President
Dwight D. Eisenhower and
is a member of a popular
Boston Jewish family.

41 percent, as well as his
equally surprising victory
in Connecticut, to voter un-
happiness with inflation.
The voter turnout in the
Democratic primary among
Jews, as among all other
New Yorkers, was light.
But Jews, who traditionally
make up 33-40 percent of
primary voters in New York
went 79 percent for Ken-
nedy statewide and 82 per-
cent in New York City.
Robert Strauss, Car-
ter's campaign manager,
in conceding defeat fairly
early, blamed it on the
President's announced
budget cuts and "a bad
UN resolution which hurt

Veil also observed that

Middle East initiative.

spokesman said.
He added, "Quite frankly,
there will be other decisions
in the anti-inflation fight
and in the attempts to keep
the Camp David peace proc-

make those decisions and

he said.
Both Kennedy and Carter
are now looking ahead to

Although most experts
are crediting Kennedy's
New York victory to the
Jewish vote, many point
out that Jews are follow-
ing the trend of other
Democrats. In the
Massachusetts primary,
which came three days
after the UNVote and the
day after Carter re-
pudiated it, Jews gave.
Carter 80 percent of their
vote in Kennedy's home
state.
In Florida, two weeks ago,
where Carter won, the
Jewish vote was 53 percent
in favor of Kennedy. But
last week in Illinois, where
Kennedy was defeated and
his campaign believed
finished, Jews joined the
general trend in voting 2-1
for Carter.
