10 Friday, March 28, 1980 THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS 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 liY) ON Jewish Heritage Tours of SPAIN claimed to be affecting Is- rael. "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. Kennedy credited his cap- ture of_ 59 percent of the SUMMER '80 Strictly Kosher ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ featuring INSTANT PASSPORT & I.D.

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 us here." Strauss was re- ferring to the U.S. vote March 1 for the United Nations Security Council resolution condemning Israel's settlement policies which Carter re- pudiated two days later. At the White House Tuesday night, Presidential press secretary Jody Powell also conceded the UN vote as well as the economy hurt Carter in New York.

Veil also observed that the nine member states of the European Economic Community (EEC) cannot be prevented by the Euro- pean Parliament from launching their planned Middle East initiative. However, she said, the Par- liament can express its opinion on the matter. She did not suggest what that opinion might be. Britain, France and West Germany are seek- ing EEC support to amend Security Council Resolution 242 to refer to the Palestinians as a political entity rather than a refugee problem.

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- ess alive that may be politi- cally difficult. The President is prepared to make those decisions and accept the consequences," he said. Both Kennedy and Carter are now looking ahead to the next primaries, espe- cially Wisconsin next 'rues day and Pennsylvania Apri 22 where there are large Jewish populations. 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. 1W3 OPel) EGYPT KOSHER TOURS ISRAEL Extensions Available PASSPORT PHOTOS l el WI .1E. 4s, S G bel-crest photo STUDIO AND CAMERA SHOP 4.ake "2 Countries for the Price of 1" AIRFARE 6698 Orchard Lake Rd.
