cessful tour of the United States.
is seeking political asylum here
after defecting because he does not
want to live in a country where his
relatives were murdered and
where he is treated as a second-
class citizen.
lienryk Grynberg, 31. gave these
reasons at a press conference, for
not returning to Poland with the
Yiddish troupe when it left New
York Dec. 19 after an eight-week
engagement. Grynberg and his
non-Jewish wife, the Polish actress
Krystyna Walczak, are now in Bev-
erly Hills, Calif., where they are
staying with Grynberg's mother,
Mrs. Sophie Towarzek, who immi-
grated to the United States eight
years ago. He said that he planned
to report to U.S. immigration of-
ficials promptly.
The young actor said that his
father, his younger brother, two
uncles and five aunts were
slaughtered by the Nazis in Po-
land during World War II. He
and his mother survived by hid-
ing in the forests. His visit to the
United States was his fifth trip
abroad with the Kaminska troupe
since he joined it in 1959. He had
always returned to Poland from
the previous trips and said that
he would have done so now, had
he not been a Jew, in order to
fight with other intellectuals
against the repressions of the
Communist regime. But, if you
are labeled a Jew, he said, it is
difficult to do anything in Po-
land.
Grynberg told of eanti - Zioni st

Semitism launched by the Polish
government after last June's Arab-
Israel war and of how Polish
authorities censored articles and

a tour of the Golan Heights and of
the now outposts set up by the
movement in that region. The con-

means mark the birth of the kib-

which began with the founding of
the fit-4 kevutza at Sejera over 60
years auo. continuing with the es-.

which some years ago marked the,
jubilee of its establishment and
subsenuently with the founding of
Ein Harod.
The Kibutz Ilameuhad mem-
bers came over with the second
aliya and established the settle-
ments of Degania and Kinneret,
Ayelet Ilashachar and Kfar Giladi;
members of the third aliya who es-
tablished Ein Harod Tel Yosef and
Ramat Rachel, to mention but a
few: members of the fourth and
fifth aliyot who founded Afikim,
Ashded Ya'acov and Hanita, and
