Heroic Watchman
of Israel Is Dead
at the Age of 95

Samuel Kasle, 78;
Noted Toledoan

WASHINGTON (JTA)—A Mil-
waukee Jew who, as a youngster,
was a classmate of Leonid Brezh-
nev, first secretary of the Com-
munist Party of the USSR, has
writen nine letters to Brezhnev ap-
pealing to him to halt anti-Semi-
tism in the Soviet Union but has
received no reply, the syndicated
Drew Pearson column reported
here Monday.
The column, written by Jack
Anderson, Pearson's associate, re-
ported that the letters had been
sent to Brezhnev by Nathaniel
Kruglak, who had studied with
Brezhnev hi a schoolhouse at a
Ukrainian factory town known as
Kamenskoye, l a t e r renamed
Dneprodzerzhinsk. According to
Anderson, Kruglak had "told his
story to the State Department."
After failing to receive a reply
from Brezhnev to his first eight
letters, Kruglak wrote to the Soviet

leader: "Public opinion here and
in Europe is condemning your ad-
ministration for persecuting 3,000,-
000 Jews in the USSR."

Liner Forced to Pass
Haifa Port by UAR;
ADL Files Complaint

SAN FRANCISCO (JTA)—The
American President Lines confirm-
ed here Tuesday that it had can-
celed a stop by their liner Presi-
dent Roosevelt at the Israeli port
of Haifa in deference to objections
by Egypt.
A spokesman for the West Coast
shipping line said that Egypt had
threatened to bar the ship from
going through the Suez Canal on
its round-the-world cruise early
next year if the vessel made its
scheduled stop at the Israeli port.
He said the alternative to going
through the channel was to sail
around the Cape of Good Hope.
