-Israel Helps Vietnamese JERUSALEM, (JTA) - A Foreign Ministry spokesman said that Israel will provide a temporary haven for 66 Vietnamese refugees rescued by the Israeli freighter Yoveli In the South China Sea after their craft sank. The authorities In Japan, Hong Kong and Taiwan have denied them permission to land. The spokesman stressed that the Israeli refuge would be granted until a permanent home can be found for the refugees.

Vance's Remark I Shocks Hill Sources precluded by a Congressional amendment," Vance continued, according to a transcript of his news conference obtained by the JTA at ifae State Department, "sna as I look at the situation now on Capitol Hill, I think in the tiimsis which exists that it would be impossible to have that amendment removed. Therefore, I think it is not likely in the near future. However, I would hope that in time this could be done." Under questioning from reporters in Washington, State Department spokesman John Trattner said "the important point is that it is up to the Soviet Union to move to improve the climate surrounding the Jackson-Vanlk amendment and I think the future of that climate Is up to them." Privately, an authoritative Department official said that "repeal of the Jackson-Vanik Amendment is not a policy consideration at this time." He refused however to put this statement on the public record. When it was noted that Vance had expressed "hope" it would be lifted, the source said that the "hope was over a period of time.

State Cyrus Vance's remark that Congress is .responsible for lessening Soviet-American trade because of the Jackson-Vanik provisions in the U.S. Trade ^t. A These sources emphasized $b the Jewish Telegraphic Agency that President Carter in a tetter to Sen. Henry M. Jackson (D. Wash) during the election campaign firmly committed his administration to Implementing the provisions which link U.S. credits to the Soviet government to Soviet emigration policy. Vance told reporters upon ending a three-day visit to the Organization of American States General Assembly in St. George's, Grenada that he expects trade next year will be "substantially less" than this year and "one of the factors that affects this, of course, is the question of most-favorednation treatment to the Soviet Union."

Our next meeting, on June 28, should be a very special day. Instead of meeting at the Center we are going to spend the day and have our lunch at Camp Ksilier K. Nevttaao. Bus transportation will be provided for those who wish it and the bus wiii leave from the Beth El parking lot. Circulars will be mailed with details and reservations should be made with Use or Linda at the JCC, 344-8200, as soon as possible. This is a wonderful opportunity for us to see where our grandchildren go to summer camp and I, for one, am looking forward to it. The June 14 luncheon meeting was attended by 118 "youngsters." Dave Orkow led the rap session which begins at 11 a.m. The always popular brisket luncheon was prepared by Lucy White assisted by Elsa Kahn and Leah Siegel. Mollfe Delman led the group in singing happy birthday to Hymie Richards, Max Greenfield, Dr. Ben Slutsky, Dave Orkow and Dan Greenfield. The two decorated birthday cakes were hosted by Dan himself and spouses Rosie Richards, Sarah Greenfield, Charlotte SluUky and Ruth Orkow. Helping celebrate Hymle's birthday were daughters Joanie Raduzlner and Cele Cooper, son Blackle and wife Roberta, and granddaughter Mindy Cooper. . ' Our volunteer "angels" were given a standing ovation for their always faithful service. This week's "angels" were Rosalie Greespan, Pay Sekar, Ann Margolin, Ethel
MilJer, Freda Veret, Bea Pappenheimer and Hymie's daughters, daughter-in-law and granddaughter. Our guests this week were Harry Ferer of North Miami, Fla,, brought bv his brother Nate; Benny Weitz of Redwood City, Calif., guest of his brother Arthur; Rod Karlln of Los Angeles was brought by his brother-in-law Leonard Sega); Morrie Peltz, guest of PhllBatt. "More About Jewish Roots" was the topic of guest speaker Malcolm Johanson. He covered the trials and bardships our parents and grandparents (and some of us) faced In leaving their homes and emigrating to this country.
