Washington — Secretary of State Kissinger announced Tuesday that the Soviet Union has renounced Its 1972 commercial agreement with the United States. Kissinger said Moscow had Informed the United States last Friday that it could not accept a trading relationship based on the Trade Reform Act recently passed by Congress. This legislation made the granting of nondiscriminatory trade status contingent on Moscow agreeing to liberalize the emigration of Jews. Kissinger said Moscow regarded this linkage "as contravening ix)th the 1972 agreement which had called for an unconditional elimination of discrimlnaloi-y trade restrictions and the principle of noninterference In domestic affairs." hk> Hardening' . Kissinger said that he had no indication that this development foreshadowed a hardening of Soviet-American relations. "Our policy of detente." he said, "remains in force." But he said, "should the decision herald a period of intensified pressure, the United States would resist with great determination and as a united people." "The administration regrets this turn of events," Kissinger said. "It has regarded and continues to regard an orderly and mutually beneficial trade' relattonship with the Soviet Union M an important element in the overall Improvement of relatkms.'' What this announcement means. Kissinger said, is ttuit \M Soviet Union will not receive most favored nation trading status as provided for in the 1972 agreement, and will not make further payments on its Lend-Lease debts beyond .this year. "NfoPaymcnts The Soviet Union had agreed to repay $722 milik>n In debts Incurred during the 19408. The first tliree payments, the last of which was scheduled for this July, were to total MS million.

It also notes that today's volunteer "is often removed by at least two generations from any personal contact with immigrants" and that he has "been trained, usually. In the skills of fund-raising and does not realize that the factcra in successful fundraising often run contrary to good fund-dispensing." The result is that "often the refugee is told one thing by Ihe professional and another by the lay person." Pearl Yager, director of
Omaha's Jewish Family Service, is coordinating efforts to resettle the Russian families. All persons wishing to volunteer their efforts are asked to contact her at 3348200.

Lincoln's Lodge Meets Jan. 28
The <|uesllon thai bothers Jewish leadership In these times of potential tension is how many thousands of others in high places have the distorted views of Jews as Ihose pronounced t>y Gen. Brown? How many millions of others in every walk of American life hold these views? What more can be done to erase these ilgiy prejudices in a year when people affected by the economic crisis canmiiy fall under the influence of anilJewish propaganda? American Jewish leaders
are also worried over the poasiblllty of a serieui coollngotf toward Israel In this country. Already numerous American firms are rushing to the money-rich Arab countries to secure business dtals there. They cpmpete nMtti each OUMT (or Arab oountriea to qscure business deals there. Tbey compete with each other for Arab goodwill. In this competition they toBy not be avarae to the strenghtenlng of pro-Arab and anti-Israel propaganda in this country, not to speak of the (act that the Arab rulers themselves have imensified their efforts to Increaae their anti-Israel propaganda In tha United States. Some M them- are trying to penetrate the American public opinion by seeking to acquire controlling Interests In American publicatk)ns. Jowisk
