cluded as Moscow hut, in spite
of being an honored guest of
the Soviet Union, was not per-
mitted by Russian censors to talk

The story was told by the
evening newspaper Maariv. A
reporter for Maariv placed a
telephone call to Moscow to in-
terview Ashkenazi. The Israeli
musician mentioned that he had
been the guest of the Israeli
Embassy at Moscow for the Pass-1
over seder. Since Soviet authori-
ties had severely restricted the
use Of matzohs this year, by
banning the baking of matzohs
in state factories, Ashkenazi was
asked where the matzohs at the
Embassy's seder has been ob-
tained. At that point. the Rus-
sian censor cut the telephone
conversation.
Later, when Maariv placed a
second telephone call, the con-
Versation went on uninterrupted
since the subject of matzohs was
not mentioned. Ashkenazi said
he had been invited to play as
soloist by the philharmonic or-
chestras of Moscow and Lenin-
grad.
