Jewish Interests Before The Congress Part 2 See Goldberg's Column on Page Seven THE JEUJI5H VOL. XXVI No. 46 Thursday, July 8,1971 Price Ten Cents Zand States Soviet Jewry Must Seek Emigration Rights Jerusalem, (JTA)-Prof. Mikhail I. Zand believes the struggle lor Soviet Jewry must concentrate exclusively on their right to emigrate to Israel, not merely to alleviate the repression of Jewish cultural and religious freedom in the USSR. In his first public appearance since he landed in Israel recently, Zand claimed that the only hope for the spiritual survival of Soviet Jewry was in emigration to Israel. Addressing a session of the Zionist General Council, Zand said he took issue with a group of Western rabbis who had suggested the slogan "Let my people live" as a corollary of "Let my people go." He rejected the implications of the former on grounds that the Jewish people could never live as Jews in the Soviet Union. "There is no future for the Jewish people in Russia except assimilation," he said. "The future is only here. The fight must be for the right to emigrate, not the right to stay there. Zand, a scholar specializing in Oriental languages, obtained the right to emigrate only after con- siderable anguish and hardship for himself and his family. Earlier this year his activism got him a 15-day jail term for "hooliganism" in connection with demonstrations against the Leningrad and Riga trials. He was fired from his job at the Institute for Eastern Studies. He was granted an exit visa earlier this month only to have it revoked within a few hours on grounds that he had to be investigated for alleged "undesirable activities." His new visa was finally granted only after pressure was brought to bear by the academic communities in the U.S., Israel and other countries. Zand told the Zionist General Council that he and his family were escorted to Moscow airport by 100 friends who asked that he convey Continued on Page Six U.S. Aides In Mideast Continue Peace Efforts Continuing efforts to reopen the Suez Canal, I Michael Sterner, are in Cairo for talks with two American diplomats, Donald C. Bergus and | unidentified Egyptian officials. Bergus and Sterner, who refused to answer questions about developments in their diplomatic quest, were met by reporters and cameramen rather than by Egyp- tian Foreign Ministry officials. Bergus is head of the U.S. interests section in the Spanish Embassy in Cairo and Sterner is the State Department's expert on Egyptian affairs. Egyptian officials have been expecting an answer to their note asking for clarification of the American position on the Middle East crisis. The visit of the U.S. diplomats has been described as an attempt to clear the obstructions blocking the way to an interim peace agreement between Egypt and Israel.

Attorneys for the two groups said suits would be filed challenging recently enacted purchase-of- services programs, voucher plans, tax credits and teacher salary supplements. Leo Pfeffer, special counsel of the AJCongress and ACLU legal director Melvin Wulf, contended that no form of aid to elementary and secondary private schools beyond textbooks and busing was permissable under the opinion handed down by the court.

Sisco, the American Assistant Secretary of State for Near Eastern and South Asian Affairs, as long as the United States position on the Middle East problem remains un- clear and as long as there is no change in Egypt's position. Sisco's visit is not yet certain, but he has intimated his intention to make the trip. What he has in mind, according to the reported contents of his recent conversation in Washington with Israeli Am- bassador Yitzhak Rabin, is to spend a week in Israel for comprehensive talks aimed at breaking the deadlock over an interim solution involving a reopening of the Suez Canal. Sisco was in Israel in May when he accompanied Secretary of State Rogers on a tour of five Mideastern countries. Circles here believe Sisco will try to "sell" Israel a new State Department policy advocating a more extensive Israeli withdrawal from the Canal line than was en- visioned earlier. There are also indications that the State Depart- ment has abandoned one of the major points on which it has been in full agreement with Israel-that no Egyptian troops may cross the canal, even after an Israeli pullback. These fears were reflected by Ambassador Yitzhak Rabin in a taped radio interview broadcast here. Premier Golda Meir and several Cabinet ministers objected to the interview, but not necessarily because they disputed its contents. Rabin's interview, broadcast over the Israeli radio for home con- sumption, was sharply critial of U.S. Middle East policies and blasted the United Nations as "an institution for demagoguery" whose "decisions are meaningless unless the U.S. supports them." According to Rabin, the U.S. is above all concerned with assuring its own interests in the Mideast and did not want a situation in which Israel's friendship was America's only asset in the region. He said the U.S. sought a settlement, even if it meant stripping Israel of most of the territories captured in the Six-Day War.

Rothenberg denied reports that JDL was shifting its headquarters to Israel to escape harassment by American authorities. He claimed rather that the aim is to form a headquarters in "the international center of the Jewish nation-Israel" to help by educational means to "bridge the gap between various groups."
