NEW YORK—The Soviet Union
is in danger of creating a "prison
house of nations" through such
acts as Inflicting the death pen-
ally on a Lithuanian attempting
to flee the country, the American
Jewish Committee has charged.
Philip E. Hoffman, president, in
denouncing continued Soviet den-
ial of its citizens to leave, said
the Communist regime "violates
all international laws and norms
and fails to uphold the principles
of the Universal Declaration of
Human Rights."
Hoffman was commenting on
the information that a court in
Vilna, Lithuania, had sentenced

Allon called on Lebanese auth-
orities to "perform a last act of
grace to the dead man" by seeing
to it that the head is returned for
burial with the body.
Turning to young Druze soldiers
who wanted to cross the border to
bring "10 heads for the head of
Abou Hammed," Allon said, "'This
is not our way. It must not be your
way-• We shall not permit killing
for the sake of killing of even our
greatest enemies."

Vitautas Stmokaitis, a 34-year old
Lithuanian non-Jew, to death, and
his pregnant wife, Grazina, to
three years in a prison camp.
They were charged with attempt-
ing to seize a Soviet airliner in
order to flee to Sweden.
The American Jewish Com-
mittee President pointed out that
continued Soviet prevention of
free movement of Its people "is
especially poignant in the case
of Soviet Jews, thousands of

I. F. Stone: If Russia OK'd Exodus
of Jews, Conversions Would Mount
WASHINGTON (JTA) — I. F.
Stone, an independent left-wing
publicist, likened the situation of
Jews in the Soviet Union to that
of the separatist nationalities in
Franco Spain.
He predicted in his hi-weekly
newsletter that if the Kremlin
should ever allow Jews free emi-
gration, "half the population (of
Russia) would convert to Juda-
ism."
Stone, long a bitter critic of
Zionism and Israeli policies,
claimed that the commutation of
death sentences of Jews in Lenin-
grad and of Basques in Burgos
have similar backgrounds. "Both
occurred in slowly decaying dicta-
torships, one Communist, the
other Fascist," he wrote. "Both
will be followed by new trials, in
Russia of more Jews accused of
torn families or be repatriated,
while at the same time anti-
Semitic practices have created
for those Jews a sense of hope-
less desperation and of fear."
He urged that the Soviet Union
allow those of its people—Jews
and non-Jews—who wish to leave
legally to do so. As to the sen-
tences imposed on the Lithuanian
couple, Hoffman declared that "the
quest for justice would best be
served if the Lithuanian Supreme
Court lightens the sentences."
At the same time, he repeated
the long-standing position of the
American Jewish Committee in
condemnation of hijacking of
planes which might threaten in-
nocent lives.
Zionism, i.e. of national deviation:
in Spain, not only of Catalans as
well as Basques but of other Span-
iard accused of `subversion.' "
Stone said that "rebellious Basque
and Catalan separatists have be-
come focal points for general ani-
mosity to the senenscent Franco-
regime. Kremlin fears of similar
repercussions in the Soviet Union THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS
