The Voice of America is broadcasting portions of a Senate address by Sen. Jacob K. Javits, New York Republican, enumerating instances of anti-Jewish discrimination by Communist regimes. In the address, Sen, Javits called attention of the Senate to the pattern of discrimination against Jews in Eastern Europe.
“It behooves the Soviets and their satellites, if they wish to practice the international political morality they profess to the world, to cease the persecutions imposed upon its minority groups, both Jews and others, to permit families to be rejoined, and to cease blocking the reasonable movement of its own citizens to homes of their choice,” Sen. Javits said in his speech.
