Russian Repudiates Emigration Letter WASHINGTON (JTA) - A repudiation by Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko of the Oct. 18 letters of understanding on Soviet emigration practices exchanged between Secretary of State Henry A. Kissinger and Sen. Henry M. Jackson (D. Wash.) was made public Dec. 18 by the Soviet official news agency Tass. The repudiation, which says the Klsslnger-Jackson exchange created a "distorted impression" of the Soviet position, was contained tn a letter from Gromyko to Kissinger dated Oct. 26, when Kissinger was in Moscow. The Gromyko letter said the Soviet government had given no assurances to the U.S. on easing emigration procedures and it expected American restrictions on trade with the USSR to be lifted un-

Angry Spirit Boosts UJA Giving Bjr Boris SDMiar tlSitar-lii-caMI, Cmtrltut, J.T.A.)
There is a new element now t>eing noticed In Jewish giving to Uie United Jewish Appeal. An dement of anger. The UJA notices this new spirit in Jewish communities all over the coUhtry. Jews In America are now angry. They are angry at the United Nations for inviting the Palestine Arab terrorist leaders to address the UN Assembly; they are angry at the sell-out of morality for Arab oil by tlie European democratic nations; they are angry at the silence with which the world Is ready to accept the nibbling up by the Aratu of the State of Israel piece by piece. They are also angry at tlnae Jews In this country who don't carry out their responsibilities at this crucial time for Israel. In their anger, many of them are giving more for UJA in the 1975 fund-raising campaign — which Is already going on — tiien tliey gave in pravlous critical years for Israel. This, despite the economic insecurity In the United States. Their giving Is termed "Inspirational" by UJA leadership. There sre already seven gifta of tl miUloa Mcii and one as high as t2.S miilioa. At tbla point the glviag Is 10 percant higher compared to the Yom Klpiiur War giving by tbe same dooors. And the campaign Is only at its The gcal that the Jewish communities had set for themselves last year was 1900 million — only $750 million for Israel and $150'milllon for Jewish communal needes in the United States. They raised only $675 million. But the goal for 1975 Is again set at $900 million. Is it possible to raise more in 1975 than during the concluded year! Encouraged by the present response of the communities, the UJA leadership says "yes." Naturally, If another Arab war against Israel breaks out, the WOO million goal will have to go up. But even if war is avoided, UJA leaders believe that the goal set at present can be
achieved. Hie cash collections may go slower, but this depends on general economic developments in the United States. The mood which the UJA leadership now finds In the communities throughout tlie country attests lo the fact that many Jews In this country have begun to realize that the Arab war against Israel is developing into a war against Jews all over the world. HM reoognltton o( this fact is growing with every week as the Arab rulers become more adamant in their threats and more ontumfcen ID their Intentlone. llieir trigbtentaig threats remind many American Jews ot ltS7, when 40,000 graves wen dug In Tel Aviv in ezpactaUoo o( a possible massive Arab air attack on the dty. The bolocaual never came because Israel siieeeeded In deatrtqriiv the Egyptian air force before they Marted even to move from their bases. lUs Unie tbe poasttiUlty is not prediided that kog-ranae missiles provided by the Soviet Union may be UMd by Syria and Egypt. American Jews are beginning also to realize what It means when Israel was forced for the first time to give land back to the Aralw; also, that for the first time since Its establishment Israel Is now brutally deserted by every country except the United States, and by every people except the Jewish people. Today Israel does not have diplomatic relations with a majority of nations In tbe United Nations, while most of ttie democratic countries with which she does maintain such relations are lukewarm to Israel's fate; preferring Arab oil at any price, even at the coat of morality. Israel's Isolation and loneliness, plus the growing Arab Power in oil, gold and Influence against the Jews, stimulates American Jews to increased giving more than any speech by any q>eaker. Speakers don't matter now at UJA meetings. The people come Uiere to demonstrate their deep concern lor Israel and their anger over the world's Iwtrayalot morality. . (Continued on Page 2)
"explanations" of their views on emigration had been characterized in the U.S. as "some sort ol assurances and even almost obligations fnwn our side about the . . . departure of Soviet citizens from the USSR. Some figures were even cited relating to the supposed numtier of such citizens, and the expected Increase of this number in comparison with past years is also being talked about." llie Onanyko letter claimed that KlMli«M-bad been told b)r the Soviet Untan thst In fact (here was "a tendency toward bi the number o( wlahlng to leave the USSR and seek permanent residence in other countries." The letter referred to "artificially created complications" around U.S.-Sovlet trade agreements and observed, "There Is only one basis on which SovietAmerican relations In genera] and commercial and economic relations in particular can be built successfully . .. This Is full equaUty of the sides and non• interference in each other's Internal affairs." Kissinger, in his final appearance before the Senate Finance Committee earlier this month prior to its apl>roval of the Trade Reform Bill, sUted that the understanding with the Soviet Union on the enilgraUon issue had to be taken on "faith." He told the Senators that if he were to say specifically that an agreement had been reached, the Soviets would repudiate it. He made no mention of the Gromyko letter written ne^y two months earlier.
Rubinstein Resigns OMAHA-The Jewish Federation of Omaha Monday night, Dec. 23, accepted "with regret" the resignation ot Herbert Rubinstein as Its executive director. Rubinstein's resignation, which he submitted at a special meeting Sunday morning at the Jewish Community Center, was effective immediately.

Rubinstein had taken the post this past ^rlng, after spending 20 montlis In Israel, Rubinstein's future plans were not announced. ZipOrsky said the Federation would press ahead to fill the position.

Referring to Alleaandrinl's charge that the Capucci sentence had injured Israel reputation as a land "where the leaders of religious communities have traditionally been surrounded with respect and regard," the sources noted that Israel has always respected "church leaders who were faithful to their high office."

Our 1974-75 Junior High program debuted Saturday night. Dec. 21, with a SOs-style Coffee House attended by 2S including some dressed in the , garb of the era. Featured at the Jewish Community Center were recorded music a la "American Graffiti", and a 'SOs-perlod movie, "Muscle
Beach Party", with Frankie Avalon and Annette Funicelio. Special guest entertainers were Allan Turchin, musician and folksinger, and Jeff Rovner, a performer of the secrets of sleight-of-hand (who will be teaching his skills at the "J" beginning In Feb.). Throughout Winter Vacation, Jr. Highers will
participate In such varied activities as ice skating, bowling, ceramics and Jewelry ;workshop« and a Movie Night—Splash Party on Jan. 4 from 7-10:30 p.m. We are now forming a special committee of Sr. and Jr. Highers to evaluate past programs and plan new ones for 7th and 8th graders. Want to help? Get in touch with me or Lee (334-8200, exU. 3S and S3), or Jill Lustgarten (3336811). WINNING ENTRY Following is the winning book review of Chaim Potok's "The Chosen" submitted by Brenda Lynn Moskovits in the Jewish Book Month writing contest:
"We discovered that we had been bom In the same year, two days apart". . . Reuven and Danny, bom In the same year, both believers in God, observant Jews. Each determined to fulfill his own aspirations and not his father's. Yet two days apart, living in two different worlds of two sects of Judaism. Each traditionally expected to hate the other. Each longed for a part of the other's world. After dissolving the hate pulling them apart, they became friends. Together they tackled their personal problems; together they grew to understand the reasons separating them.
The JawW) PraH
Together they overcome their proMems. One lessonn. If nothing else, must be learned from this novel. Jews, the races, mankind itself, have selfimposed barriers separating them from themselves and others, breeding hate. If only people would remember that as fellow Jews, fellow human t>elngs, everyone is similar to the other, and not so different at all. ' If only everyone would abandon their foolish defenses and make the other his friend. Then all men can overcome their problems, together. Only then "nation will not lift up sword against nation, and war will no longer be heard."
