Title: First Lady meets the press.
Description: Text transcribed from caption: PC-45991 FIRST LADY MEETS THE PRESS WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Mrs. Betty Ford fields questions during her first full-scale press conference at the White House. On one major U.S. issue -- abortion -- Mrs. Ford made it plain she is “definitely closer” to the views of Vice President-designate Nelson Rockefeller, former New York governor, than to those of Sen. James Buckley (C-R) of New York. Mr. Rockefeller, as governor of New York vetoed a bill in 1972 which would have repealed the state’s liberal abortion law. Sen. Buckley, meanwhile, has proposed a Constitutional amendment in Congress which would overturn the U.S. Supreme Court’s 1973 liberal ruling on abortion. The First Lady’s affinity with the views of Mr. Rockefeller, who has been strongly criticized by anti-abortion forces, brought comparisons with the views of President Ford. In October 1973, while still Republican leader in the House of Representatives, he said he opposed abortion on demand and had co-sponsored a bill restoring to the states the power to prohibit or regulate abortions. Mrs. Ford also said she intends to be an active First Lady, with interests centering on the arts and of behalf of underprivileged and retarded children. She said she hopes to campaign for ratification of the equal rights amendment for women, which now lacks the approval of five states before it can become law.

Description: Text transcribed from caption: PCJ-46161 AGREEMENT REACHED ON SOVIET TRADE AND EMIGRATION WASHINGTON, D.C. -- The Soviet Union has pledged to lift restrictions on the emigrations of Jews and others in return for tariff concessions and credits by the U.S., Sen. Henry Jackson (D--Wash.) announced in Washington, D.C. The White House and the State Department extended the courtesy of allowing the announcement to be made by Sen. Jackson, who led a drive in Congress to block trade concessions to the USSR unless emigration was made easier. He said there was no numerical quota placed on the number of persons the Soviet Union must allow to leave each year but that the U.S. had a “bench mark" of 60,000.

Title: President disavows general's remarks on Jews.
Description: Text transcribed from caption: PCJ-46245 PRESIDENT DISAVOWS GENERAL’S REMARKS ON JEWS WASHINGTON, D.C. -- President Ford has reproved the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Gen. George S. Brown, for making “ill-advised” remarks which claimed that Israel has “too much influence” in the U.S. Congress. The general was also quoted as saying, Jews “own, you know, the banks in this country, the newspapers.” Ron Nessen, the President’s press secretary, told newsmen that Mr. Ford had disavowed the remarks made by Gen. Brown on Oct. 10 at Duke University. He said the President “considers Gen. Brown’s remarks ill-advised and poorly handled” and “feels very strongly about it.” Several national Jewish organizations have urged President Ford to dismiss Gen. Brown. They charged that his remarks, made public Nov. 13, were malicious and prejudicial to Israel and American Jews. Members of Congress also protested the general’s comments. Gen. Brown, in a telegram to the Jewish War Veterans and in a later statement, apologized for his remarks made during a question and answer session following a speech to Duke law students in Durham, N.C. He said his “true feelings concerning Jewish Americans were not reflected” in the remarks reported in the press. Credit Must Read: RELIGIOUS NEWS SERVICE PHOTO (B-WAS-11B-74-DS)

Title: National 'Day of Fasting' urged.
Description: Text transcribed from caption: P-46496 NATIONAL ‘DAY OF FASTING’ URGED WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Sen. Mark O. Hatfield (R-Ore.) holds up a potato which, along with a two-ounce millet cake, a piece of raw onion and a quarter glass of lukewarm plain tea, he said is the “approximate daily ration of 500 million people around the world who are starving,” as he joins World Vision International President W. Stanley Mooneyham (left) in announcing “Project FAST” at a “non-luncheon hunger event” in the Capitol. The program, aimed at bringing about “permanent changes” in the nation’s food consumption patterns during the next 12 months, is being coordinated by World Vision, a California-based Christian humanitarian organization. The two men called on all Americans to willingly experience hunger as an “effective way of responding to the increasingly tragic world hunger crisis.” One way of doing this is suggested by a resolution introduced in the Senate by Sen. Hatfield which would designate Monday of Thanksgiving Week next year as a “National Day of Fasting.” It further suggests that Americans “re-evaluate their own life styles” and during 1975 “seek to change their habits from those of overconsumption to those of conservation.” Credit Must Read: RELIGIOUS NEWS SERVICE PHOTO (B-WAS-12A-74-DS)

Title: Butz comment about pope scored.
Description: Text transcribed from caption: C-46287 BUTZ COMMENT ABOUT POPE SCORED NEW YORK -- Secretary of Agriculture Earl L. Butz has been scored by Roman Catholic and Italian-American leaders after he was quoted using a mock Italian accent in dismissing Pope Paul’s criticism of wealthy nations for telling poor nations to mee their hunger problems by controlling their populations. “He no playa the game, he no maka the rules,” Mr. Butz was reported in the New York Daily News as telling a breakfast meeting of newsmen in Washington. Later, he said his remark was “off the record.” Denouncing the remark as “a crude, pointed insult directed at Pope Paul VI,” the Archdiocese of New York sent a telegram to President Ford demanding that his Agriculture Secretary “apologize immediately or resign.” Rep. Mario Biaggi (D-N.Y.) also sent a telegram to President Ford asking that Mr. Butz be dismissed “for his anti-Catholic, anti-Italian remarks” and charging that the Secretary has “shown an offensive, bigoted mentality.” The New York archdiocesan Senate of Priests also called for his “immediate resignation or removal.” Mr. Butz’ remark, according to an Agriculture Department aide, was a retelling of a joke which he had heard at the World Food Conference in Rome, which Mr. Butz attended as head of the American delegation. The Agriculture Secretary has apologized for it. Credit Must Read: RELIGIOUS NEWS SERVICE PHOTO (B-NY-11D-74-DS)

Title: Respond to Soviet rejection.
Description: Text transcribed from caption: PCJ-46554 RESPOND TO SOVIET REJECTION WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Senators Jacob Javits (R-N.Y.), left, and Henry Jackson (D-Wash.) hold a copy of a letter from Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko to Secretary of State Henry Kissinger, dated Oct. 26, in which the Kremlin official said that the Soviet Union had made no agreement to allow Jews and others to emigrate in exchange for U.S. trade concessions. The rejection of any agreement on emigration and trade was also published by Tass, the official Soviet press agency, and broadcast on regional television and radio in the Soviet Union on Dec. 18. Sen. Jackson, who has led the drive to included the emigration stipulation in the trade legislation, said that he would press for approval of the trade bill by Congress and noted that if the Russians did not liberalize emigration, they would lose the trade benefits. Some observers felt the Tass story might be a “face-saving” tactic on the part of the Soviet government for its own people. Credit Must Read: RELIGIOUS NEWS SERVICE PHOTO (B-WAS-12C-74-DS)
