IRONY OF WHEAT
It seems rather ironic to those of us that cover the beat
to come across the following story.
We all know that the United States Government has com-
mitted itself to a policy of shipping wheat to Soviet Russia.
There is no question about the fact that this wheat will feed
starving people and it is vitally needed by the Soviet Union to
solve their huge agricultural deficit.
What is ironic is the fact that with all the millions of
tons of wheat that we are sending over to the Russian Govern- j
ment, we have not been able to get them to relax their restric-
tion against Jews baking matzoth in the Soviet Union.
This is forbidden at present.
If you recall our coverage last year, Jews drew stiff pen-
alties for trying to get around the Soviet Matzoh ban by try- j
ing to bake the Passover food in home bakeries that were set
up for that purpose.
This year the Soviets have finally allowed service firms
in the United States, Canada and Israel to be licensed by the
Soviet Parcel Trading Organizations to accept matzoth parcels
on a commercial basis for their relations in the Soviet Union.
Passover comes rather early this year—March 28 through
relations in the Soviet Union to get these Matzoth packages
off as soon as possible.
Eugene S. Shershev, Soviet commercial attache in the
United States, said that five firms have been authorized to
accep these parcels. They are: Central Parcel Service, Chi-
cago; Globe Parcel Service, New iYoric and Phjiliadeilphia;
Package Express and Travel Agency, Brooklyn; Union Tours
Parcel Service, New York; and Cosmos Parcels Express Cor-
poration.
From Israel we hear, the Peltours Company, which serves
as the agency in Israel for the Soviet Intourist Corporation,
said it received a cable from Moscow permitting the send-
mg of parcels of matzoth to relatives in the Soviet Union.
The cable indicated that senders abroad may pay customs
duties ot the point of shipment so that recipients will not have
to pay sn®h charges.
But Jack E. Levine, chairman of the social action com-
mittee of the Free Sons of Israel, charged that a number of
packages sent privately last year to Soviet Jews had “dis-
appeared.” said Levine, “a few” of the parcels got through.
Yes, it does seem ironic.
So much wheat.
fitin 110 freedom for Russian Jews to bake their bread
of affliction.
Affliction may be the proper official word.

WASHINGTON, (JTA)—Secretary of Defense Robert McNa-
mara, addressing the House Armed Services Committee, empha-
sized the interest of the United States “to keep the Arab-Israel
fued from escalating into ove.rt hostilities” and explained why
.he U.S. sold Hawk anti-aircraft missiles to Israel.
His testimony before the Committee given in connection with
he defense budget for the year, was made public by the Congres-
sional body. “Although we do net share with other Near East
Countries in any formal military organizations, our interest in
unporting peace and stability in the area has been well estab-
lished and, we believe, is clearly understood by the countries in-
volved,” the Secretary of Defense said.
“The U.S. objective has long been to keep the Arab-IsraeK
feud from escalating into overt hostilities,” he continued. “Real-
ization of this objective has been made more difficult by the
injection of substantial Soviet bloc aid—both economic and mili-
tary—into the region, and particularly into Egypt, Syria, Iraq
and Yemen. For this reason, the U. S. has, on a very selective
basis, provided some assistance in the form of sales of military'
materials to Israel and the smaller Arab state, including Saudi
Arabia and Jordan. And it is in this context that the U.S. sold
Hawk anti-aircraft missiles to Israel, to help provide an effective
defense against modern fighters and bomber aircraft,” the Sec-
retary of Defense stated.
Mr. McNamara noted, in concluding his -remarks on the
Middle East, that the U.S.A. has engaged in military exercises
with some of the friendly countries of the area, such as Iran
and Saudi Arabia, “in order to demonstrate our capability and
determination to lend support, when and if required.”
