Despite this trend, President Carter led his op- ponent by a 2-to-1 margin and Jewish voters identified themselves as Democrats by 8-to-1 and as liberals by 3-to-1, the study showed. Henry Siegman, execu- tive director of AJCongress, released the findings of the survey of 2,500 voters who identifed themselves as Jews as they left polling places across the country last Nov. 4. The questionnaires were administered by volunteers outside of pol- ling places in Jewish neighborhoods in and around Boston, Chicago, Dallas, Detroit, Long Is- land, Los Angeles, Newark, New York, Philadelphia and Wash- ington, D.C. Jimmy Carter won 50.5 percent of the Jewish vot- ers, Ronald Reagan 26.9 percent and John Anderson 17.5 percent. In 1976, the same persons had voted 70.1 percent for Carter, 19.4 per- cent for Ford and 7.7 per- cent for neither. (Some 2.7 percent did not vote in 1976.) More than one-quarter of Carter voters in 1976 (28 percent) did not vote for him in 1980. At the same time, Ronald Reagan received 38.9 percent more Jewish votes than Gerald Ford did in 1976. In terms of party identifi- cation, 59.2 percent said they were Democrats, 7.4 percent Republicans, 31.2 Champion Takes on Government NEW YORK — Interna- tional chess grandmaster Boris Gulko won the Mos- cow Open championship last week, despite the fact that the former Soviet champion had been banned from major tournament competition since 1978, when he and his wife applied to emigrate to Is- rael. Gulko used his speech at the awards ceremony to publicize his plight and the fate of the wife and son of another former champion, Victor Korchnoi. Korchnoi defected from the Soviet Union in 1976. His wife and son have not been allowed to leave the country and join Korchnoi, who is scheduled to make his second bid to wrest the world chess crown from Anatoly Karpov of the Soviet Union this fall. Correction An article in the June 12 Jewish News (Page 29) in- correctly attributed criti- cism of Norman Podhoretz, editor of Commentary mag- azine, to former U.S. special Middle East envoy Sol Linowitz. The article quoted a story which appeared in the New York Daily News, written by I. D. Robbins, which re- ferred to Linowitz's speech at the 75th anniversary meeting of the American Jewish Committee, parent organization of Commen- tary magazine. Robbins' criticism of Podohoretz followed the reference to Linowitz and was mistakenly attributed to Linowitz. AJC Names Two to Posts NEW YORK — Richard L. Weiss of Beverly Hills, Calif., and Carol Stix of Scarsdale, N.Y., have been named to the American Jewish Committee's Domestic Affairs Commis- sion. percent independents and 6 percent others. Asked whether they con- sidered themselves liberals, moderates or conservatives, 44 percent identified them- selves as liberals, 40 per- cent moderates and 14 per- cent as conservative. The survey also asked the 2,500 Jewish voters about what they regarded as the major election issues on which they based their choice for President. The most important single fac- tor determining that choice was the candidate's atti-' tudes on American support for Israel, the study showed. Far behind it —and in de- creasing order of signifi- cance — were the candi- dates' positions in support of a balanced budget, federal action against unemploy- ment, increased defense ex- penditures and government financed abortion. Boris Smolar's B `Between You . . and Me' Editor-in-Chief Emeritus, JTA (Copyright 1981, JTA, Inc.) MILITARY NOTES: This summer 20 Jews were among the graduates of the U.S. military academies, in- cluding a Jewish girl from Philadelphia, Miriam Crane, a graduate of the Air Force Academy in Colorado. The number of Jews serving as officers in the U.S. armed forces is increasing from year to year. They count now in the thousands. At some American installations overseas — for in- stance, in West Germany — the children get a systematic Jewish education that can compare with the education which children receive in Jewish schools in the United States. They are provided with textbooks prepared by the National Jewish Welfare Board which serves the cultural and religious needs of Jews in the armed forces. The classes are conducted mostly by wives who have a Jewish background and are graduated from teacher col, leges in the U.S. To them the teaching ofJewish subjects to their children away from the United States is a labor of love. They are also active in conducting children's clubs and in preparing programs for the Jewish holidays. There is a Jewish family atmosphere among the families of Jewish officers. JEWS IN UNIFORM: There was a time — before World War II — when– young Jews did not think of making military service a lifetime career. Now there are many Jews who choose to make the service a profession. Their number has especially increased since the Vietnam War. Many complete their term of service — which is usu- ally 20 years — when they are still middle-aged men. As specialists with high education and elaborate practice, they have no difficulties in finding jobs in their field of work when they retire from military service. At the same time they receive their military pension and other benefits as veterans. A SERIOUS QUESTION: Now that the U.S. gov- ernment is sending thousands of engineers, flyers and technicians to Saudi Arabia and other Arab countries to help maintain the many warplanes which these countries acquire from the United States, the question is being asked: Are Jews included in the American units sent by the U.S. to the Arab countries, or are they being eliminated to -- please Saudi Arabia and the rulers of other Arab land:. which ban admission of Jews? Are Saudi Arabia and the other countries checking on the U.S. personnel to establish whether there are Jews among them? Is the U.S government determined to see to it that there is no discrimination against Jews in selecting its transports of servicemen and officers sent to Saudi Arabia? I posed these questions to President Ford in the White House when he was President. The answer was very vague. Ford replied that since the American military carries no record of the religious affiliation of its personnel, it is un- known who among those selected to be transferred to Saudi Arabia and other Arab lands is Jewish and who is not as far , as the American government is concerned.
