000 American Jews, including
Zionists and non-Zionists and
embracing the orthodox, con-
servative and reform branches
of American Judaism, will joint-
ly sponsor a mass meeting at
the Manhattan Center Monday
evening to denounce the stepped
up anti-Jewish campaign in
Soviet Russia and its satellite
nations. it was announced by
Louis Lipsky, chairman of the
American Zionist Council.
The decision to sponsor the
mass meeting under the joint
auspices of major Jewish organ-
izations followed an emergency
meeting of representatives of
these groups at the American
Zionist Council at which it was
decided to open a "counter-
offensive" against the growing
threat of pogroms and terror
behind the Iron Curtain, Lipsky
said.

He added that Monday's mass
meeting would be the first spon-
sored by so many major Jewish
organizations since the early
years of Hitlerism when all-
inclusive Jewish protest meet-
ings were held to condemn Nazi
anti-Semitic programs in Ger-
many and other countries.
A local committee, meeting
under the auspices of the Jew-
ish Community Council. is cur-
rently planning a city-wide rally
to protest the Soviet anti-
Semitism.
