Senate, House Members Open
Drive To Show Anti-Semitism

J United Press International
WASHINGTON (UPI) - A
bloc of Senate and House mem
; bers has opened a drive to
turn the world spotlight on al-
leged persecution of Jews in
Soviet Russia.
i The State Department is ac
tively staying out of the pic
ture. It privately sympathizes
s with the objective but it also is
conducting delicate negotiations
' with Moscow and has no desire
to see them upset. It did say,
i however, that anti-Jewish ac
i tivities in the U.S.S.R. "have
' grown in intensity . over the
J past several years."
i After Russia fired ' her first
(Sputnik into orbit in 1957, a
J joke popular among Russian
, Jews was:
r "Why is the Sputnik a Jew?
' Answer: Because it wanders
J around the earth and has no
J place to stop."
i This cosmic version of the
("Wandering Jew" is said here
J to represent a sense of aliena
, lion and discrimination now be
ting felt by the Soviet Jews.
Synagogues Closed
The recent closing of syna
Jgogues in Minsk (Belorussia)
i and Lvov (Ukraine), the execu
tion and imprisonment of Jews
'for alleged economic crimes,
J and"; a government ban on un
i leavened bread (matzohs) need
fed for. religious ceremonies, are
J cited as evidence ot growing
, anti-Jewish actions by the So-
viet government.
i U. S. officials, congressmen
and American Jewish organiza
tions are following these and
t other happenings in the U.S.S.R.
i with alarm and concern. Last
month more than half the Sen
!ate joined in demanding that
: Moscow cease persecuting Jews.
I Sen. Abraham A. Ribicoff, D
' Conn., introduced a resolution,
J jointly sponsored by 59 other
senators, declaring there is
"abundant evidence" of anti
ISemitlsm in the Soviet Union
"and criticizing Premier Nikita
Khrushchev's professed ignor-
ance of such reports as "a pro
Jfound delusion."
J In answer to a request by
.Rep. Seymour Halpcrn, R-N.Y.,
that the government consider
possible "remedial actions," a
Jstate Department official said
it "would not be in the best
interests of the Soviet Jews
(and) could in fact antagonize
-the Soviet government to the
detriment of the Soviet Jews.
Such action by the American
i government, the official ex
plained, would "lend credence
or substance" to the Soviet poli
'cy of accusing ' Jews of being
I susceptible to "foreign influ
i enecs "
One Soviet publication recent
'ly echoed this sentiment. It
;said Jewish religious leaders
and "bourgeois nationalists pro
vide "grist for the mills of our
Jclass enemies, district workers
!from their class and Commu
nist interests, and weaken their

Khrushchev has attributed Wcst
Vrn reports of Soviet anti-Semitism
to "the attempts of re
i.ictionary propaganda to ascribe
to our state the pursuance and
'encouragement of (this) poll'
Icy." And. he added, such at
tempts "are not a new pheno
menon." ' American officials, however,
Jpoint out that the Soviet Jews,

been held responsible for two
thirds, and in some areas 100
per cent, of economic crimes
warranting death.
Between July 1, 1901,' and
July 1, 1963, one report said,
140 persons were condemned to
death, of which about 60 per
cent were Jews. In the Ukraine
of 29 citizens sentenced to death
since 1961, 25 were Jews.
The American Jewish Com
mittee said in a report that
Jews were being made "scape
goats" for the bureaucratic -ills
of the Soviet government and
also "singled , out for object
lessons showing how severely
the state regards economic
crimes."
Alleged Soviet pressure on
the Jews has been typified by
the outlawing of the study of
Hebrew. No religious prayer
books or publications are per
mitted. Production of religious
objects is illegal. There are
less than 90 synagogues open in
the U.S.S.R. Until 1957 there
was a tight clamp on Yiddish
cultural activities.
In 1959, a half dozen Yiddish
books were permitted to be
published with limited circula
tion (10,000 to 30,000) and in
1961 the. Sovietish Heimland,
the only Yiddish periodical,
was authorized for distribution.

Farbsteiri, D-N.Y., said he men
tioned these and other incidents
and Was told by the official:
"Why should these little things
interfere with the betterment of
relations between our two na
tions?" Farbstein said the official de
nied anti-Semitic reports .- and
also remarked: "Your newspa

head with these things."
. "Baby! Yar"
A spotlighting of anti-Semitism
within the Soviet Union
came in 1961 with publication
of "Babyi Yar," a poem by the
controversial Soviet poet, Yev
geny Yevtushenko.
The poem, later denounced
by the government as "slan
derous," assumed Russian guilt
for anti-Semitic measures and
asked why there was no memo
rial at Babyi Yar, near Kiev,
where the Germans in 1941 ma
chine - gunned 40,000 to 70,000
Jews to death. '
Yevtushenko later was forced
to revise part of the poem.
Roy H. Millenson, national
representative of the commit
tee, told UPI that "despite
guarantees of . the Soviet con
stitution, the government has
tightened restrictions on Jewish
religious and national expres
sion." He added that "the light that
is creeping through the Krem
lin's windows has not - yet
reached the Kremlin's heart."

Newspaper Advertising
Hits the Mark with a Large

There's nothing hit-or-miss about the newspaper audience
-it's a constant audience that varies little throughout the
year. That's because newspaper circulation remains con
stant with little variation from month to month. There is
no summer slump, in newspaper reading habits. Further
more, readers can pick their own time-day or night-to
enjoy the paper. And they do-over 107,000,000 of them
every day in the U. S. For sure-fire results, advertise

JOINS THE ACT
LEEDS, England (UPI)-.
Mike Cleary, 23-year-old mem
ber of a visiting rugby team
from Australia, joined the act
Tuesday night when striptease
dancer Yvonne Lamont began
her performance at a night
club.
Before- anyone could yell
"take it off," Cleary had re
moved everything but his
shorts. The club bouncer led
him away before he went any
further.
When he returned he ex
pressed "no regrets" for his ac
tions. "I'd do it all over again
if the same conditions existed,"
he said.
A thin, almost gaunt-looking
man, Skinner said his dishonor
able discharge from the Army
in 1954 was unwarranted and
unfair. The Army turned him
down in his attempt to collect
$1,700 in back pay after his return.
