Soviet Statement On USSR Jews Issued United Nations, N. Y. (JTA) — For the first time since the establishment of the United Nations, (he Soviet delegation here disseminated to the press Sunday a statement on Jewish religious life in the Soviet Union. The stalment did not touch upon the liquidation of Jewish cultural Institutions in the USSn, nor did it make any mention of the fate of "mls,sing" Jewish wri lei-s in Russia, or alxjut the conditions of life In Biro- BidJan which was proclaimed a Jewish autonomous region more than 25 years ago. Tho statement, which attracted attention in United Nations circles, was written by M. Rablnowitz who was not identified by the Soviet delegation; and whose name has never before appeared in public. The text of the stater ; ment reads: "Citizens of .the Jewish nationality arc found among the Inhabitants of cities and villages in different regions of the Soviet Union.

Tltey will then have to adopt a more realistic attitude towardx Israel's peace offers which have been extended at every possible occasion and which they have Furtherconstantly rejected more, the United States and Britain, which are sincerely interested in bringing about peace between Israel and the Arab countries, will then be In a much stronger position to exercise real pressure upon the Arab rulers to start talking peace with Israel . . . Otherwise, the VS. may consider the Idea of concluding a separate security pact with Israel
— a thin;: which will not l>o to the liking of the Arab rulers . . . liven prior to the Geneva conference, the atmosphere In Washington hai become friendlier toward Israe . . . However, until today the State Department did not say "yes" or "no" to proposals that the U.S conclude n security arrangement with Israel . . .

Shortly before the Geneva conference they indicated that talks on arranging an American-Israel security agreement may be possible when tension on the Arab-Israel frontiers subside . . .

LIFT TOE CUBTAIN Release by the RusiUo delegation to tho UN of a.statement on Jewish religious life in the Soviet Union is in my opinion a maneuver aimed at thwarting the raising of the question at Geneva. If the statement was issued by way of response to queries about Jewish life in the Soviet Union, it must be dismissed as meaningless because of its obvious platitudes. If It is true that the synagogues are crowded with worshippers. there is the concommittant of cultural and spiritual activity. But the statement Is ominously silent on that score.
