that the Arab states have shown
more willingness to negotiate
with Israel — but everyone was
impressed with his knowledge
and his manner of responding
immediately and directly to do-
zens of questions. Sadderfield, in
turn, told David Hermelin that he
was impressed with the sophisti-
cated level of the questions posed
to him.
In all, the long day was a suc-
cess, not only because the partici-
pants pledged some $257,000 to
the Allied Jewish Campaign be-
fore returning home (up from
about $200,00 pledged last year)

but also because they served the
purpose of showing their elected
officials that they care enough
about Israel to take off a day from
work and come to Washington to
listen, to challenge and to learn.
"The reason why the pro-Israel
lobby is far more effective than
the pro-Arab lobbies in this coun-
try," noted AIPAC's Dr. Ralph
Nurenberger earlier in the day,
"is because they don't have groups
like yours, people- who make the
time and effort to come to Wash-
ington and make their voices
heard. That's what makes the dif-
ference."
Veto Rules
Continued from Page 1
forced on Congr'ess by the Sup-
reme Court, a provision of the old
procedure which barred the use of
filibusters is no longer valid. Con-
sequently, when the Jordan arms
sale is taken up again — probably
in February — a single Senator
could conceivably block an at-
tempt to defeat the proposed deal
by prolonging_ the debate until
Congress has forfeited its right to
block the sale.
"In order to assure Congress the
opportunity to be heard on the
issue of the Jordan arms sale and
future sales," Lautenberg said of
the proposed Senate legislation
preventing filibusters on bills to
defeat weapons deals, "this bill
provides for quick consideration
of measures to block arms sales!'
Congress passed a joint resolu-
tion last month preventing the
President from offering his pro-
posed arms package to Jordan be-
fore March 1, unless "direct and
meaningful peace negotiations"
have begun between Israel and
Jordan. The resolution was a
compromise endorsed by the
White House to avert what ap-
peared to be certain defeat of the
sale by Congress.
The Administration has indi-
cated that in spite of the 1983
Supreme Court ruling it intends
to abide by the provisions of the
Arms Export Control Act requir-
ing prior notification of a sale. But
since the resolution postponing
the deal does not call on the
president to resubmit the notice
he gave last October, the
President can go ahead with the
sale on March 1 if no resolution
opposing it is passed earlier. Sen.
Christopher Dodd (D-Conn.) was
the only legislator to oppose the
postponement resolution on the
grounds that it failed to require
Reagan to start the arms sale
process from the beginning come
March.
But in view of the President's
own tacit acknowledgement that
his arms package was headed for
certain defeat last month, and
with the unlikelihood that "direct
and meaningful negotiations" be-
tween Jordan and Israel will ac-
tually kick off in time for the re-
sistant legislators to get a change
of heart, is there really a chance
that that a resolution of disap-
proval will be blocked if it is in-
troduced as expected before
March 1?
"It's not a completely spurious
case and you don't want to take
any chances," a spokesman of the
American Israel Public Affairs
Committee — the pro-Israel lobby
group — said. Observing that a
single Senator is all it would take
to block a resolution in the ab-
sence of anti-filibuster legisla-
tion, the spokesman said "It could
happen. I doubt it will, but it
could."
Chabad Rejects
Ethiopians
Jerusalem (ZINS) — A spokes-
man for Lubavitch yeshivot in Is-
rael, Berke Wolf, recently an-
nounced that Ethiopian immig-
rants would not be accepted in the
yeshivot because of the doubts
about the immigrants' Jewish
status. "We are simply not pre-
pared," Wolf said, "to take chil-
dren about whom we cannot con-
clusively say that they are Jews
according to Jewish law, nor can
we include them in a minyan or
allow them to be called up to the
Torah because of Halachic
doubts."
Demography
Jerusalem (ZINS) — Israel's
population, according to the Cen-
tral Bureau of Statistics, now
stands at 4,255,000. Some 82.5
percent are Jews, 13.5 percent
Moslem, 2.3 percent Christian
and 1.7 percent Druze.
Last year, the Jewish popula-
tion grew by 1.6 percent and the
Moslem population by 3.2 per-
cent. Of the 99,000 infants born
last year, 75,000 were Jewish, and
the Jewish population of the
Galilee is now larger than the
Arab population.
Trade Deficit
Jerusalem (ZINS) — During
the first nine months of 1985, Is-
rael closed its annual trade deficit
by $620 million. This represented
a 28 percent reduction in the
value of imports over exports.
During the nine-month period,
Israel imported goods worth. $5.8
billion and her exports totaled
$4.2 billion.
