top last year's total of $43,014
pledged."

NEW YORK (JTA)—Religious
Judaism in the Soviet Union is dy-
ing, although the Christian church-
es "face the future with confi-
dence," it was reported by an in-
terfaith group that has just re-
turned from a fact-finding visit to
Moseow and Leningrad.
The group consisted of Rabbi Ar-
thur Schneier, of Congregation
Zichron Ephraim, New York, presi-
dent of the Appeal of Conscience
Foundation; Dr. Harold A. Bosley,
minister of Christ Church Metho-
dist; former Brooklyn Congress-
man Francis E. Dorn, who is a
Christian; the Rev. Thurston N.
Davis and the Rev. Eugene K.
Culhane. The latter are Jesuits.
Father Davis is editor-in-chief of
the Jesuit weekly, America, while
Father Culhane is managing edi-
tor of that Catholic publication.

Catholics continually press for pri-
vileges granted them under gov-
ernment guidelines. But the Jew-
ish leaders, "they declared, "are
afraid of reprisals."

`What I saw of the condition of
Soviet Jewry," said Father Davis,
"worries me very profoundly."
Rev. Bosley added: "The Soviet
Jews, with an 800-year-old his-
tory of anti-Semitism from czar-
ist days to the eras of Stalin and
Khrushchev, are afraid. The
Orthodox and the Baptists are
vigorous. The Jewish group is
much more careful. They either
cannot or are not willing to press
for implementation of the gov-
ernment's guidelines laid down
for all religions. The Jewish
leaders would have to fight, they
would have to push for their pri-
vileges. They are not doing so."

Long after you have gone, forests in Israel

is being carried out in part, the

They said that matzo is now

be no evidence that other So-

have matzo this year.
