Soviet Embassy circulated to
the press an article by a Jewish
writer in Birobidjan aimed at
showing that Jewish life is go-
ing on in the former Jewish
autonomous region.

ities about the economy and
educational institutions of the
region, the article does not in-
dicate any specific Jewish ac-
tivities in those fields.
