22 Friday, November 29, 1985 THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS From Acapulco, Mexico NEWS Michigan Mission Continued from preceding page 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) To Serve You with Their Fall/Winter Line. 100% Cottons and Wools.

(313) 356-2102 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1 forced on Congr'ess by the Sup- reme Court, a provision of the old procedure which barred the use of filibusters is no longer valid.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.
