Newspaper Says
Soviets Preparing
Show Trial of Jews

LONDON (JTA)—The Sunday
Observer reported that Soviet au-
thorities are preparing a show
trial of Russian citizens, mostly
Jewish—the biggest in the Soviet
Union since 1968, when 17 intel-
lectuals were accused of dissen-
sion after the invasion of Czecho-
slovakia.
The trial, likely to be held in
Leningrad next month, is connect-
ed with the arrest of 30 Soviet
citizens alleged to have tried to
hijack a Soviet plane at Leningrad
airport to fly to Finland last June,
the Observer said.
Two leading Leningrad Jews,
Grigory Vertlib, jurist, and Gil-
let Shur, engineer, have written
to the Presidium of the Su-
preme Soviet protesting the trial
and the searches of other Lenin-
grad Jews following the arrests.
It is believed that the KGB, the
Soviet secret police, had a hand
in the alleged hijackings, the
paper said.
Realizing how desperate many
Soviet Jews had become to leave
the country, and seeing mounting
applications for exit permits, the
secret police are thought to have
planted an agent provocateur—a
Jew named B. Dymschits—and
provoked the hijacking.
The purpose of the trial appears
to be to terrorize Jews and curb
their desires to emigrate. -
Procurator General Andreyevich
Rudenko has taken charge of legal
preparations and investigations.
Rudenko, a member of Central
Committee of the Soviet Commu-
nist Party, was chief Soviet prose-
cutor at the Nuremberg trials.
It is feared that Jews will be
tried on charges of attempting to
seize state property, an offense
punishable by death.

U.S. Bus Piracy
Could Be Next,
Says AJCommittee

NEW YORK —It is conceivable
that the hijacking tactics recently
used in the Middle East could be
applied here in the United States
"aboard a Greyhound bus," the
American Jewish Committee warn-
ed in an article in its current News-
letter.
The AJC detailed the ideology,
strategies, indoctrination, training
and pledges of solidarity that unite
extremist groups . now operating
within the United States with revo-
lutionary movements operating
around the world.
It also pointed out a pattern of
increasing terror, violence, arson,
bombings and homicide perpetrat-
ed by American extremists that
would make domestic hijacking a
logical next step.
"Hostage-taking is a great mul-
tiplier," the article declared.
"With it, a small handful of dar-
ing cowards may extort big con-
cessions. What happened in the
Jordanian desert recently may
happen here tomorrow aboard a
domestic flight or a Greyhound
bus. Anyone — not just a small
group of people in a distant land—
may be the victim."
At the same time that it pre-
sented facts to illustrate a rising
tide of revolutionary activity
within the United States, the
AJC expressed concern for Its
effects on American democracy.
"The repression which still more
extreme terrorist, tactics may in-
spire is awesome to think- about,"
the article stated. "So is the prob-
able effect on the nation's already
inflamed political consciousness.
The wilder the small handful of
extremists' acts, the harder it will
become for the millions in the lib-
eral and responsible left camps to
make themselves heard." •

Along with some 400 other
friends and admirers of Danny
Raskin, the mayors of two cities
forgot their friendly rivalry to pay
tribute to "a good fella" Tuesday
evening at the Raleigh House.
At the testimonial dinner for
longtime newspaper and advertis-
ing man Raskin, Jewish News
columnist since the paper's incep-
tion, Mayors Norman Feder of
Southfield and Joseph Forbes of
Oak Park presented him with the
seal and key of their cities, re-
spectively.
Forbes had proclaimed Oct. 13

home. The proclamation, read at

Also present were Turk Pru-

Their presence at the dinner

it was: a cross-section of Detroit—

come to know Raikin as more than

A plaque that was presented
"as a symbol of love from every-
one here" referred to him as a
"faithful friend" and was signed
simply "Your Friends." The - pres-

another longtime acquaintance, who
used to hawk newspapers with
Raskin when they lived on Phila-
