Soviet Jewry more harm than

sue should be kept alive at various
levels but that a massive demarche
by the United States through form-
al diplomatic channels was unde-
sirable. Soviet authorities would
interpret this as an unwarranted
intrusion by a foreign power into
domestic affairs, it was explained.
The department, however,
thought well of maintaining public
awareness of the problem and re-
sponses through such meetings as
the Vigil. In the department's
view, it was learned, sweeping
charges should not be made
against Russia on the Jewish issue,
but carefully detailed and pre-
cise indictments of actual anti-
Jewish practices.
It was learned that the Soviet
Embassy deliberately kept its
door bolted to shut out the Vigil
delegation. Embassy personnel
ignored the bell when rung by
members of the Vigil group that
sought to present petitions. But
only minutes after the delega-
tion was observed descending,
from the stairs, a telegraph mes-
senger arrived, rang the bell,
and was promptly admitted.
