The magazine cited this report as further evidence that Franco- Israeli relations have improved considerably in the last few months. It said that spare parts were being sent to Tel Aviv "discreetly, just as they were before the "Cher bourg Affair." The "Cherbourg Affair" oc- curred on Christmas Day 1969, when five unarmed gunboats built for Israel in France but under embargo, were spirited away from Cherbourg by IsTaeli crews. The incident aroused the French government's anger and reportedly led to a tightening of the arms em- bargo against Israel which had been in effect since the June 1967 Arab-Israeli war. But Israeli circles here claimed that the embargo on spare parts was enforced even before the gun- boats left Cherbourg. They had no comment on the report that spare parts were now being delivered to Israel. GENEVA (JTA)—Aaron Vergelis, editor of Sovietish Heimland, the only Yiddish magazine' published in the Soviet Union, contended to- day that the Leningrad trial of nine Jews and two non-Jews had been held in secret session "in order not to stir up anti-Semitic feelings among certain parts of the popula flan." Anti-Semitism, he said at a news conference, exists in the USSR today "as it does anywhere in the world where Jews live." He predicted ibat:alt Soviet Jews who want to—emigrate to IsraeL would be allowed to in due course, "but this a slow process, for administrative and bureau cratie'reasons." He noted that the Kremlin preferred not to let Soviet citizens go, but- added that none toeless it was not in the Kremlin'r, interest to hold , back "those ele- ments who refuse to integrate." Vergelis estimated that 1,000 Soviet Jews had left for Israel in 1970— "a considerable number consider- ing the non-existence of diplomatic relations between the two countries as well as the fact that Russia's planned economy precludes emi- gration." But he stated that there was a continuing process of Soviet Jewish assimilation within the USSR and that it should not be interfered with. He said the average Russian was not interested in the trials. The Soviet Jewish editor as- serted that Yiddish was still a living language in the USSR, noting that Sovietish Heimland was published In 25,000-copy runs and that it reflected "the cultural, literary and social life of Soviet Jews."
