NEW YORK (JTA) — The
American Jewish Committee
charged this week that the of-
ficial policy of the Soviet Union
"threatened the extinction of
the Jewish religion and cul-
ture in a vast region of the
earth."
It advanced a four - point
statement of principles on
which to base action to deal
with this "grave and complex"
situation.
The statement, coming on
the heels of announcement that
Soviet Premier Nikita Khrush-
chev would visit the United
States in September, supported
belief that American Jewish
leaders would seek a meeting
with the Communist boss for a
discussion of the Jewish prob-
lem in the Soviet Union.
The Committee's declaration
set forth the following prin-
ciples:
1. Equality of rights for
Jews in Eastern Europe and
the Soviet Union in law and,
in fact ,within the framework
of the existing social and
economic s y s t e m, although

Jewish Star Trademark
Causes Manager's Arrest

JERUSALEM, (JTA) — The
manager of a textile factory in
Bulgaria, which for years has
been using the "Star of David"
as a trademark, has been ar-
rested in Sofia on a charge of
"sabotage against the national
economic effort," according to
a report received here.
The Bulgarian plant had sold
some textiles to Iraq, which
returned the material on the
grounds that the Star of David
marked it as "Zionist goods."
The arrest followed.

The late Larry Hart, of the
song writing team of Rodgers
and Hart, was a descendant of
Heinrich Heine.
