Udall Concedes N. Y. Jewish Vote WASHINGTON (JTA) Rep. Morris Udall (D.Ariz.) conceded New York's Jewish vote to his rival, Sen. Henry M. Jackson (D.Wash.), in the Democratic Presidential primaries there next month. "Forty-five percent of the primary vote in New York is expected to be Jewish and Senator Jackson is deservedly popular among this segment of the electorate and I can't expect to come in and overwhelm this," Udall said Sunday on the ABC television "Issues snd Answers" program. He observed that in New York his campaign for the Presidential nomination was "bucking some unusual things," among which were the Governor, the Party organization, organized labor and "the heaviest Jewish vote in America." Jackson's wide popularity among Jews is because of his milltantly pro-Israel stand and bis co-autborshlp of the Jackson-Vanik Amendment to the Foreign Trade Act, which , linked VS. economic benefits to the Soviet Union with an easing l o t Moscow's emigration policies. Udall's assessment of the power of the Jewish vote in New York was confirmed by experts here who told the Jewish Telegraphic Agency that New York State has 7,410,000 registered voters of which, at the most, 25 percent are Jewish in a normal election year. • However, according to the e x p e r t s , the upcoming Presidential primaries in New York are expected to bring out a much higher Jewish vote. In New York City, they said, the Jewish vote may go as high as

I I

Jewish ] Cooking I

45-50 percent of the total. _/ "Jewish voters are very civic-minded and really come out to the polls," one Congressional source from New York observed. Former Gov. Ronald Reagan of California, campaigning for the Republican nomination against President Ford, took an equivocal position when be was asked on the NBC-TV"Meet the Press" program If he supported "using pressure such as Senator Jackson's measure to make economic cooperation with the Soviet Union contingent upon them liberalizing their emigration laws." According to a transcript obtained by the Jewish Telegraphic Agency, Reagan said: "Oh, I think whether that particular specific is one or not, I think'should - well, this is what I criticized about detente. It has been a one-way street. We are making the

biCoMege

concessions, we are giving them (the Russians) the things they want. We asked nothing in return. In fact, we give them things before we ask for the return. I think it has to be a two-way street and depending on the importance of what it is they ask, 1 think that should measure the importance of what we ask In return." But R e a g a n s a i d specifically that he did not favor Jacksons's proposal to use "food power" — meaning grain sales to the USSR -• to get Moscow to comply with American wishes. "Selling gives us the advantage. We can't just stubbornly say, "We won't sell,'" the conservative Republican said. In that respect, Reagan's view seemed to parallel that of President Ford and Secretary of State Henry A. Kissinger, who have been strongly critical of the Jackson-Vanfk Amendment.

of the U.S. Catholic Conference, Rabbi Joseph H. Looksteln, president -of the Synagogue Council, expressed "profound gratitude for the action taken by the U.S. Catholic Conference," adding that the "plight of Syrian Jews raises profoundly humanitarian questions which transcend the tragic political divisiveness that has marked the Arab-Israel conflict." The text of a suggested prayer was sent to Catholic bishops across the country by Bishop Rausch after the Synagogue Council invited Catholics to Join them in commemorating the Sabbath of Concern: "Let. us Join with our fellow Christians, Jews, and others across our nation today In commemorating a Sabbath of Concern of Jews in Syria." After a pause for silent prayer the petition continues: "That there may be an alleviation of the suffering experienced by the Jews living in Syria and that they may be free to move and to emigrate as they desire, let us pray to the Lord." VETERANS T h e V e t e r a n s Administration reported that 73 of the 100 senators and 308 of the 435 members of the House are veterans of military service.

JERUSALEM (JTAt - A homemade bomb went off In a police car here Thursday night. No one was injured, but the car was damaged.

NEW YORK-A prayer for the Jews of Syria will be among the general.intercessions of parish masses across the United States on Sunday, March 14, during the Sabbath of Concern sponsored by the Synagogue Council of America, beginning today (March 12). It is the first time that the U.S. Catholic Bishops have officially requested that Catholics throughout the nation recite a special prayer during Mass on behalf of Jews suffering oppression and injustice. 4,000 Syrian Jews are virtually prisoners in their own country, ah SCA spokesman said. Since 1948, the borders of Syria have been closed to them except for brief periods of relaxation. Denied basic human rights, life for Jews in the ghettoes of Damascus, Aleppo and Kamishll is harsh. Constantly under surveillance, Jews must carry special identity cards and cannot travel from one Syrian city to another without special permission from the secret police. In many areas, they cannot obtain employment and are denied p e r m i s s i o n to attend university. Discriminatory rules restrict the rights of Jews to buy or sell property. * In a letter to Bishop James S. Rausch, General Secretary

(For the Women's Campaign) To Jews throughout the world in 1948,-Israel represented the simple concept of existence for the Jewish people. It also meant the fulfillment of an ancient Biblical prophecy. Twenty*seven difficult years have passed and Israel remains. Jews everywhere must reaffirm their belief in 1976 that Israel not be allowed to perish. This is especially true in light of the recent United Nations vote. equating Zionism with Racism. This year's United Jewish Appeal must be an all-out effort from everyone! In year's past you have been shown facts and figures aboutwhereyourdonationgces:. .how much It costs Cor education.hospltalbedsandold-agecare. The dollars needed this year will continue to go to these causes... only there is one difference. Prices have gone up! The price of security for the State of Israel is high. It takes 40 per cent of the state budget. 70 per cent of the tax revenues and 30 per cent of the Gross National Product. The cost of education of Jewish children has gone up. The care for the aged has gone up. Other costs for the local needs of the Jewish community of Iowa have gone Up.

• ; : - ; -

We hope that this year when you are called for your pledge that it will go up too! Every year Is a year of survival for the Jew. 1976 is the yearjof survival for Israel. ~ _ Give to your community and the State of Israel. Support the 1976 United Jewish Appeal Campaign. If you would like to donate some of your time to helping the United Jewish Appeal it would be greatly appreciated. There is plenty of work for everyone.
