United Nations General Assembly meetings in New York. He told
reporters at the Lod airport that war threats by President Anwar

Slaying of Jordanian Premier
Brings New Troubles to Mid-East
JERUSALEM (JTA)—The as
sassination of Wasfi el Tal,
Premier and Defense Minister of
Jordan outside of his Cairo hotel,
apparently by Palestinians, was
viewed by observers here as a
severe blow to Arab unity and
attempts to coordinate military
activity against Israel, especially
on the eastern front.
It was also viewed ip some
circles here as a SnSfe set-back
to plana. King Hussein is be
lieved to have had for reaching
a peaceful settlement with Israel.
There was no official Israeli
government comment on the as
sassination nor any word from
Amman where Hussein called his
Cabinet into emergency session.
El Fatah, the leading Palestin
ian guerrilla organization, issued
a statement praising the assassins.
“We think Tal’s death was the
are stained with the blood of the
Palestinian people,” El Fatah
said. Tal was regarded as the
author of Jordan’s get-tough
policy against Palestinian guer
rillas which resulted in the vir
tual elmination of terrorist strong
holds in Jordian this year and a
marked subsidence of terrorist
activities against Israel from Jor
danian soil.
Tal was in Cairo at the head
of Jordan’s idelegation to the
Arab States’ Defense Council, a

authorities in the Ovir (visa)
department in the Ukraine asked
Yacov Gluzman, who has been
separated from his wife, Rita, for
two years, to pay 900 rubles
($900) for an exit visa and to
return in the morning for a final
decision on permission for him to
natural end of a man whose hands emigrate to Israel to rejoin his
family, the Jewish Telegraphic
Agency was informed. The dis
closure was made by Rabbi Marc
H. Tanenbaum, director of inter
religious affairs for the American
Jewish Committee.
The Gluzman story was re

his wife made an impassioned

Nat Kameny, representing the CJFWF Judging Committee, presents the Council’s Public Re

ing the award were Mr. and Mrs. Gerald Horowitz and Gerald Lasensky, JWF, assistant executive
director. Mendel Segal is chairman of the Federation’s Committee cm Public Information. Jack
Geldbart served as TV Committee chairman.
Mr. Horowitz represented Atlanta to the 40th General Assembly of the Council of Jewish
Federations and Welfare Funds as Atlanta’s Abe Schwartz Young Leadership Award winner.

Mrs. Sam P. Alterman, Mendel Romm Jr., Bernard Howard, M. C. Gettinger and Mrs. Joshua D.

Conference. The story in The
Southern Israelite received na
tional emphasis In the US Jew
ish press, through efforts of the
Atlanta Welfare Federation
Committee on Soviet Jewry.
In his regular commentary on
radio station WINS, Rabbi Tan-
enbaum also discussed the case
in general and noted that the pro
cedures for Gluzman’s emigration
“can be reported now for the
first time publicly.” Experts here
said that when the exit procedure
reaches the stage that it has with
the young Russian Jew, comple
tion normally takes place. Rabbi
Tanenbaum said that Gluzman’s
payment of the $900 involves
termination of his Soviet citizen
ship.
Mrs. Gluzman was permitted
to emigrate two years ago with
assurances her husband would be
allowed to follow shortly. She has
been in the United States for a
month seeking help to induce
Soviet officials to permit her
husband to emigrate.
Rabbi Tanenbaum also report
ed that despite the furor in the
press over aspects of testimony
by Richard Davies, Assistant Sec
retary of State for European Af
fairs, before a House subcommit
tee, Davies formally informed
the subcommittee that for the
first time during the past half
century the US government is
supporting a draft resolution be
fore Congress that calls on the
Soviet government to allow Jews
seeking to emigrate to do so.
Asked about this, Rabbi Tanen
baum said he had the full text
of the State Department’s draft
resolution and that Davies had
introduced It in the sub-commit
tee record but had not read it
and apparently newsmen had
overlooked it. Rabbi Tanenbaum
told his radio audience that the
text was made available so that
members of the Jewish commun
ity would understand “the degree
to which our government is ex
plicitly committed to support and
advocate the cause of human
rights of Soviet Jewry and other
deprived minorities.”
