BBYO, Soviet Delegation Debate
Jewish Teen Groups in USSR

CC

WASHINGTON The notion
that Jewish teen-age organiza-
tions in the Soviet Union would
have a divisive influence on
a)
Russian life, was debated by a
a)
Soviet professional youth delega-
tion and the national director of
the Bnai• Brith Youth Organiza-
tion, Dr. Max F. Baer.
ra
The Soviet delegation, part of
rt: a government-sponsored cultural
' exchange mission, told repre-
sentatives of the 'BBYO that, the
Communist aim of national unity
automatically prohibits any of
the Soviet Union's nationality or
religious sects from joining
groups restricted to religious
interests.
Baer challenged the consist-
ency of the •Soviet Union's atti-
tude toward its nationality

groups. "On the one hand," he
E-4 said, "the Soviet Union encour-

schools established by and for

hand, no opportunity is given
for establishing youth organiza-

lines.
He also pointed out that the
existence of youth groups by

"All Russians are -equal citi-
zens of the USSR," Albert Bel-
yaev, member of the Central
Committee of the Soviet Young
Communist League said, adding:
"Establishment of groups along
religious or ethnic lines would
defeat this objective of a single
national identity."
But responding to a question
by Baer, Belyaev -denied there is
any contradiction when the
Soviet government stamps the
word "Jew" on its passports as
part of its policy of identifying
its ethnic groups by nationality.
The meeting with Bnai Brith
officials was held at the request
of the Soviet delegation.

AJC Warns Against
Arab 'Sabotage' of -
Middle East Solution

NEW YORK, (JTA) — The
Kennedy Administration has been
urged by the American Jewish
Congress to use "every resource
at its command" in blocking
Arab attempts to "sabotage" a
solution of the Palestinian refu-
gee problem based on economic
development of the Middle East.
Julian Freeman of Indianap-
olis, chairman of the commission
on international affairs of the
American Jewish Congress, told
the organization's national gov-
erning council that Arab spokes-
men in the United Nations were
preparing to again reject any
proposals for alleviating the
plight of the refugees by inte-
grating them into the economies:
of the countries where they are
now living.

Publisher Greenspun
Pardoned by J.F.K.
in Israel Arms Case

-
A full Presidential pardon has
been granted Las Vegas news-
paper publisher Hank Green-
spun, convicted in 1950 of vio-
lation of the U.S. neutrality act
by shipping arms to Israel.
Greenspun was tried twice in
1950. He was exonerated on a
charge involving transfer of an
airplane -to Israel. The second
charge involved transportation
of machine guns, ammunition
and other war instruments
aboard a yacht from Mexico to
Israel.
He was convicted to the sec-
ond charge, fined $10,000 and
deprived of his civil rights, in-
cluding the right to vote.
The President's pardon ended
a long battle by Greenspun's
friends to clear him. Former
President Eisenhower rejected
previous pardon pleas.

TEL AVIV, (JTA)—The Israel
Navy is investigating the circum-
stances under which a Lebanese
fishing boat collided with an Is- ,
raeli naval vessel.
Israeli sailors • rescued seven
Greek members of the fishing
boat but an eighth member of the
crew could not be found. ksrael
reported the incident to the Is-
rael-Lebanese Mixed Armistice
Commission.
A government spokesman said
that the Israeli vessel observed
the boat traveling without any
identification flag, which is a vi-
olation of international maritime
law, in an area known to be a
route for drug smuggling.
As the Israeli ship approached
the fishing boat, it suddenly
veered course and collided with
the Israeli vessel and sank. Two
of the rescued sailors were treat-
ed in Haifa_ hospital. They said
their base was in Beirut.

that Israel, despite "unex-
ampled" rate of development,
had succeeded in that task.

Rabbi Marvin Reznikoff of the

leaders of Baton Rouge churches
with demands that the ministers
be compelled to withdraw their
names on pain of loss of their
pulpits.
