Fr iday, March 20, 1964 —THE DETRO IT JEWISH NE WS 14 Ohio Congressman Urges U.S. Send Matzo to USSR (Direct JTA Teletype Wire to The Jewish News) WASHINGTON — Democra- tic Representative Michael Fei- ghan of Ohio Wednesday after- noon introduced a House joint resolution which strongly urged that the President of the United States be authorized and requested "to use the full faci- lities of our Government on an emergency basis," to make ar- rangements for the delivery of an adequate matzoth supply to Jews in the Soviet Union "to meet the requirements of Pass- over . . ." The resolution called for the use of the Washington-Moscow "hot line" which is open at both ends 24 hours a day "for the handling of matters vital to maintaining peace," and also for the use of an emergency airlift, of which the United States has demonstrated her capabilities. Referring to the recent clos- ing of the sole Moscow matzoh bakery as "a shock to those who believe in and defend religious liberty," Congressman Feighan went on to point out that the United States was recently call- ed upon "to open its surplus grain bins to prevent famine in the Soviet Union." He noted that the shortage of flour in Moscow for the purposes of making matzoth "was met by members of the Jewish com- munity there who provided the bakery with their own limited rations in order that matzoth might be made." "But," he added, "the Rus- sian authorities have made those sacrifices meaningless by clos- ing down the bakery at a criti- cal time under a worn out ruse used many times before to pre- vent the observance of Pass- over." The Ohio Democrat also pointed out that the March 1964 issue of the Soviet magazine USSR carried a feature article claiming religious liberty for the Jews in the Soviet Union. Said Feighan, "It is time we took action to determine the validity of the claim that reli- gious liberty is guaranteed by the constitution of the USSR and enforced by the present government."

Article on Jews in Soviet Publication Denounced by Javits as 'Hypocrisy' NEW YORK (JTA) — A fea- ture article, obviously intended to show that religious Jews in the Soviet Union are not sub- jected to discrimination, ap- peared in "USSR," an illus- trated English-language monthly magazine published by the So- viet Embassy in Washington. It was immediately characterized by U. S. Senator Jacob K. Javits, as "hypocrisy" intended to cover, up the fact that the Soviet au- thorities practice and encourage discriminations against Jews, especially in the religious and cultural fields. The article in "USSR," en- titled "Rabbi Honored in Mos- cow," is illustrated with a full- page portrait of Rabbi Natan Olevsky, 90-year-old leader of the Maryina Roscha Synagogue, a house of worship in a Moscow suburb. According to the article, the synagogue celebration was attended by leaders of "other congregations in the capital and representatives of the Israeli Embassy." Rabbi Olevsky is re- ported having delivered a ser- mon in which he purportedly said: "We Jews in the Soviet Union are equal citizens of our motherland." In his denunciation of the article as "hypocrisy," Sen. Javits pointed to the fact that the Ukrainian Academy of Sci- ence has published a "blatant anti-Semitic" pamphlet entitled "Judaism Without Embellish- ment," deriding the Jewish re- ligion and alleging that syna- gogues in the Soviet Union are centers for "speculation in matzo, pigs, thievery, decep- tion, debauchery." Asserting that the "USSR" article is full of "falsehoods," Sen. Javits declared: "These falsehoods need to be disected. But the anti-Semitism of 'Juda- ism Without Embellishment' de- mands an outcry of pain and protest." He noted that the pamphlet, portraying Jews "in traditional, anti-Semitic stereo- types," was published for in- ternal consumption while the "USSR" article was issued for foreign readers as Soviet pro- paganda. Rabbinical Delegation at Soviet Embassy in Ottawa MONTREAL (JTA)—A rab- binical delegation, representing the First All-Canadian Rabbinic Conference held in Ottawa in January, called on the Soviet Embassy in Ottawa Sunday and was received by A. Popov, first counselor of the USSR Em- bassy and M. Gregorovitch, sec- ond counselor. The Rabbinical Conference was held under the auspices of the Canadian Jewish Congress. There was a two-hour ex- change of views on the position of the Jews in Russia in line with the concern expressed at the Rabbinical Conference that the Jews in Russia are denied the rights which are accorded to other religious groups and nationalities and are prevented from pursuing a collective Jewish life. The delegation discussed the appeal made at the conference to. the Soviet authorities to al- low Jews to practice their re- ligion; to foster their tradition, culture and language; to allow the production of sacred books and articles; to permit com- munication between S o v i et Jewry and their brethren else- where and to allow Jews to be reunited with their families in other lands from whom they have been separated as a result of the war holocaust. The delegation pointed out that this would he in keeping with the United Nations Char- ter and the Universal Declara- tion of Human Rights, as well as the Soviet constitution. The rabbinical delegation also ex- pressed the desire to send a rabbinic mission to visit with rabbis in Russia and asked per- mission to send religious ar- ticles to Jews in the Soviet Union. The Soviet officials referred to the official Soviet publication in Canada, "Soviet Union To- day," March issue, which con- tains an article entitled, "Rabbi Honored in Moscow," dealing with the 35th anniversary of the Moscow Synagogue and Rabbi Natan Clevsky's 90th birthday. The article points out that Olevsky's son and grand- son are both atheists. The mag- azine also contains an article "Soviet Jews Need No Foreign Protection" The rabbinic delegation com- prised Rabbi S. M. Zambrowsky of Montreal, chairman of the National Religious We l f are Committee of the Canadian Jewish Congress; Rabbi Stuart Rosenberg of Toronto; and Dr. Samuel Lewin of Montreal, sec- retary of the National Religious Welfare Committee.
