Mario Cuomo, told the rally the governor had issued a declara tion proclaiming May 22 as Solidarity Sunday for Soviet Jews. Sen. Alfonse D’Amato, R-N.Y., read a letter from Pres. Ronald Reagan praising the marchers, whose ranks stret ched for six blocks from the United Nations to Fifth Avenue. "You have shown beyond any shadow of a doubt that Soviet Jews enjoy widespread grassroots support in this country,” Reagan said in his letter. "I promise you that this administration will continue to work with you and use every means at its disposal to bring about our common goal — liberty and religious freedom for Soviet Jews.” But some of the rally’s organizers criticized Reagan’s harsh anti-Soviet policies as a major factor in the sharp decline in the number of Jews leaving the Soviet Union since he took office. “There’s been a calculated change in emigration policy, and I think the deterioration of relations (with Washington) has definitely been a factor,” said Zeesy Schnur of the Greater New York Conference on Soviet Jewry. “It’s also true that anti Semitism is increasing in the Soviet Union as their internal economic problems in crease," she said. “And in foreign policy, Russia may be reluctant to offend Arab allies like Syria who would be less than delighted to see Israel’s population increase.” 6 year-old correct on text error CLEARWATER, Fla. (AP) — First NASA experts said a science textbook error pointed out by a 6-year-old boy and acknowledged by the publisher wasn't an error at all — now it concedes the boy is right after all: Venus is hotter than Mercury. James Brown, a pupil at the Eisenhower Elementary School in Clearwater, persuaded MacGraw-Hill Book Co. to correct a section in his textbook that said Mercury, which is closer to the sun than Venus, is hotter. Venus has an atmosphere to hold in heat. James researched the question, told his teacher, Deborah Austin, that his textbook was wrong and wrote to McGraw-Hill in New York. John Mongillo, editor-in-chief of McGraw-Hill's science department, acknowledged James' letter, thanked him for poin ting out the mistake and promised it would be corrected in the next edition of Reading About Science, Skills and Concepts Level C. Then the National Aeronautics and Space Administration entered the act last week, with a NASA spokesman in Washington saying the Mariner 10 spacecraft had recorded temperatures of 950 degrees Fahrenheit when it passed Mercury in 1974 and 1975. Probes of Venus show the maximum temperature there was 900 degrees, the agency said. But on Friday, NASA spokesman Charles Redmond said someone at the sace agency had goofed. “Apparently (the spokesman) was using old data,” said Redmond. Since the Mariner probes, the process used to determine planetary temperatures has grown more sophisticated.
