The trial of nine Soviet Jews, ac-
cused by the Kremlin of allegedly
attempting to hijack a Soviet air-
liner on June 15, is being prepared
as a "show trial" Tuesday.
The trial, which may eventually
include 25 additional Soviet Jews
arrested since June, has been
compared to the trials under Stalin
during the 1930s and those tried
in the early 1950s in connection
with the "Doctors' Plot" against
Stalin.
Who are these Jews whose only
crime, according to all objective
observers, was their desire to emi-
grate to Israel or the right to live
as Jews in the Soviet Union, which
boasts of having the "most demo-
cratic constitution in the world?"
Here are the sketches of nine
Soviet Jews whose lives may well
be hanging in the balance.
• VLADIMIR OSHER OVICH
MOGILEVER: Thirty years old
and described by those who know
him as a man of powerful intel-
lect, he was employed as a senior
engineer-mathematician in a geo-
logical research institute. He has
a perfect command of Hebrew and
English and was well respected in
Leningrad, where he lived with his
wife Yuliya Isaevna and 22-month-
old son, Ilya. He did not hide his
love of Israel, and openly spread
his knowledge about Israel, the
Hebrew language and Jewish cul-
ture.
In August 1969, Mogilever ap-
plied to OVIR for permission to
leave for Israel. His request was
denied and after exhausting all
possibilities of complaints to So-
viet authorities, he added his
signature to various letters of
protest sent to the United Na-
tions Commission on Human
Rights, UN Secretary General U
Thant and Pravda.
On June 15, he was arrested at
work. All his family's money has
been confiscated and their posses-
sions placed under seal.
• DAVID ISEROVICH CHER-
NOGLAZ: Originally expelled from
the Leningrad Institute of Agricul-
ture in 1960 for taking an open
interest in Jewish culture, 31-year-
old Chernoglaz, was arrested on
June 15, allegedly because the
Leningrad authorities were afraid
of him. They were aware that he
is the most knowledgeable man in
-
Leningrad on the history of the
Jewish people, that he had written
a book on this subject and gave
his knowledge to other people. He
had added his signature to all the
letters from the people of Lenin-
grad ("letter of the Nine," "letter
of the 21" and a cable to Kibutz
Bar-Am) and this was unforgive-
able.
His wife, Beigner Berna Petrov-
na and 10-month-old daughter are
left with nothing to live on be-
cause all their possessions have
been impounded.
• LEV LEIBOVICH KOREN-
BLIT: His parents, brother and sis-
ter having perished in the Bessar-
abia Ghetto, he was one of the
few in his family to survive tile
Holocaust. He was a mathematical
physicist at the Institute of Semi-
Conductors in Leningrad until his
arrest on June 15.
In 1969, he applied for an exit
visa to France but permission was
denied. He repeatedly petitioned
the authorities for the visas, but
without result. Korenblit has a
perfect command of Hebrew and
did much to spread it among
the Jews of Leningrad.
His property, too, has been im-
pounded and his wife has nothing
to live on.
• GILYA IZRAELOVICH BUT-
MAN: A 38-year-old engineer at
the Leningrad Electrical Welding
Equipment Plant before his arrest,
he was seized June 15 while on
holiday with his 4-year-old daugh-
ter. Lily.
His knowledge of Hebrew is al-
most perfect. He reads, translates
and corresponds in Hebrew. He
studied the language on his own
from 1960 on and willingly helped
anybody who wished to study He-
brew. He also studied the history
and culture of his people.
He was planning to hand in his
documents to OVIR for application
for an exit visa in Setember. At
that time he was due to receive
an official invitation from his
grandfather, who is living in KJ-
butz Rukhame.
• LASSAL SAMOLLOVICH
KAMINSKY: A man who was
not afraid to raise his voice in
complaint and protest, 40-year-
old Kaminsky has written 32
letters of complaint to various
Soviet authorities. He was one
of the first Leningrad Jews to
submit an application to OVIR

NEW YORK (JTA)—Jewish and
non-Jewish college freshmen are in
general agreement in tending to
reject the achievement values of
their parents' generation and in the
belief that their parents care deep-
ly about them. This is one of the
main findings of a study conducted
by the American Council on Educa-
tion to learn how Jewish college
freshmen are alike or differ from
their Christian peers. The study
was conducted for the American
Jewish Committee and the findings
were disclosed at the annual meet-
ing in Houston this week of the
Committee's national executive
council.
The data were obtained as part
of a continuing Cooperative Institu-
tional Research program of the
Office of the ACE and analyzed by
Dr. David Drew of the organiza-
tion. The sample consisted of some
170,000 men and women freshmen
entering four-year and two-year
colleges in the fall of 1969. They
comprised about 10 per cent of all
freshmen of that year. They were
asked to complete a four-page
questionnaire during- their orienta-
tion sessions.
