He asked that "Jews in the Soviet Union get the same facilities as other national and religious minorities in the USSR, namely, to organize their own institutions and to foster "their own culture." Dr. Goldman, as guest of honor at a luncheon meeting of the national administrative committee of the American Jewish Con' gross, at the Stephen Wise Congress House, participated in a ceremony dedicating the Nahum Goldmann Library in the Con- gress House. There is nothing in the theory and program of Communism, Dr. Goldman said, which rules out Jewish life and the survival of Jews as an entity. "In the last years of Stalinism," he said, "all remnants of Jewish life were recklessly eliminated. This policy of the Stalin regime was only recently publicly conderrined by Soviet leaders who have tried to make .good the wrongs and crimes committed by the Stalin and Beria regimes against various minorities. The one minority for which no such correction was made is the Jewish minority." While noting that anti-Semitism is officially outlawed in the Soviet Union, Dr. Goldmann asserted, "there is no doubt that in reality discrimination exists as regards the economic and cultural opportunities for Jews. This," he said, "has been admit- ted in statements of Soviet leaders themselves." "The main issue," Dr. Goldman continued, "which compels us to take a public stand is that the. Jewish community of the Soviet will, in the long run, disintegrate and disappear if present con- ditions prevail. The Jewish leader emphasized that the World Jewish Congress will continue to urge the Soviet Union to allow Jews to emigrate from, Russia. Dr. Goldmann expressed the "profound disappointment of world Jewry at the spectacular deterioration in the Soviet - Union's attitude towards Israel." Israel, he said, wants nothing more than to live in friendship with all countries, Communist and non- Communist alike. "Recent Soviet policy of partisanship is un- worthy . of . a great power and defeats her /peace aims and the prospects of establishing stability , in the Middle East." Jews in Soviet Union 'Afraid to Talk' LONDON, (JTA) — Russian Jews still - interested in Jewish matters are afraid to show such interest because the atmosphere created by Soviet authorities toward Jewish problemS is "un- friendly, not to say hostile," according to a report presented to the Board of Deputies of British Jews. The report said that Jewish travelers who have returned from recent tours of Russia, where they looked for opportunities to meet Jews for private talks, all but confirmed that Russian: Jews were afraid to talk to them, 1Wayne State University- Forms Semitic Department; Dr. Spiro Its Head Under tdaMed's Grant The Liberal Arts College Assembly of Wayne State University has unanimously decided to establish a Depart-. merit of Semitic Languages and Literatures at the uni- versity, Dean Victor Rapport announces.
