man of the American Jewish Con-
ference on Soviet Jewry.

will be the largest single protest
against Soviet Jewish discrimina-
tion to be held anywhere in the
world, will initiate a drive to
amass 1,000,000 signatures to peti-
tions urging President Johnson to
use his influence upon Soviet lead-
ership to extend to Soviet Jewry
those rights to pursue religious and
cultural expression granted other
Soviet minorities.
Meanwhile, in Washington Sen.

lican, called on chairman J. W.
Fulbright of the Senate Foreign
Relations Committee, to help bring
forth a favorable committee report
on the Ribicoff resolution, con-
demning Soviet anti-Semitism "at
the earliest possible time."

Department position favoring adop-
tion of the resolution.
An identical resolution has been
introduced in the House. Hearings
are expected to begin soon in the
House.

Justice Goldberg Urges
UN Study of Soviet Bias

NEW YORK (JTA)—Creation
of a neutral, fact-finding interna-
tional commission, under the aegis
of. the United Nations, to investi-
gate religious discriminations in
any part of the world was pro-
posed here Sunday night by. Su-
preme Court Justice Arthur J.
Goldberg.
The jurist was the principal
speaker at the inaugural dinner of
the Jewish Center for the United
Nations, to be constructed as an
expansion of the present Sutton
Place Synagogue, in the shadow of
the UN complex.
Justice Goldberg called atten-
tion to the anti-Jewish discrimina-
tions in the Soviet Union, and
told the assemblage of ambassa-
dors, government officials and
clergymen of various faiths _that
his proposed commission "might
well destroy much discrimination
by exposing it to the cold light of
world public opinion."
