his positive record and

before joining the Anderson
campaign, said that the
election results "clearly
show the Jewish vote can-
not be taken for granted."
The Jewish vote nation-
ally was virtually split
evenly between Reagan and
Carter, according to the Co-
alition for Reagan-Bush.
"The best national esti-
mates of the Jewish vote
showed the Reagan support
at approximately 45 per-
cent, about equal to Carter's
percentage, with Anderson
taking an estimated 10 per-
cent of the Jewish vote," the
coalition said in a statement
to the Jewish Telegraphic
Agency. In the nationwide
popular vote, Reagan re-
ceived 50 percent, Carter 43
percent and Anderson about
six percent.
The Jewish voter con-
tributed to Reagan's vic-
tory at an "historically
high level in most of the
key states," the coalition
said. These included
Michigan, California,
New York, New Jerey,
Florida, Ohio, Illinois
and Pennsylvania. It said
that Carter is "the first
Democratic President to
get less than 50 percent of
the Jewish vote." He re-
ceived 75 percent in 1976.
According to "some ran,
dom samplings," the coali-
tion reported, ABC's survey
of voters leaving polling
booths showed Jewish sup-
port for Reagan at 70 per-
cent in California and 56
percent in Michigan. The

Defeated in Senate
In the wake of President
Carter's defeat some of Is-
rael's leading supporters
among Democrats running
for the House and Senate
also went down to defeat.
Republicans, in control of
the Senate for the first time
in 26 years, are now slated
to take over committee
and Rudman, joined four
Jewish Senate incumbents
— Republican Rudy Bos-
chwitz of Minnesota; and
Democrats Carl Levin of
Michigan, Howard Metzen-
baum of Ohio and Edward
Zorinsky of Nebraska.
Besides Javits, two
Jewish Senators who will
not return to the Senate are
Democrats Richard Stone of
Florida and Abraham
Ribicoff, who chose not to
run for re-election in Con-
necticut.
New Jewish repres -
tatives include Tom IA,

Republican Sen. Charles

ranked next to Javits in line
for the committee chair-

be uncertain whether to bid
for that post or for chair-
manship of the Senate Gov-

senior Republican. Under
the party rules he cannot
hold both chairmanships.
Another important Se-
