NEW YORK (JTA)—New York
City police, apparently working
in liaison with federal authorities,
maintained a close watch on Carn-
egie Hall over the weekend to pre-
vent new attempts to disrupt the
performances of the Siberian Dan-
cers and Singers from Omsk, the
largest group of Soviet artists to
tour the United States under the
U.S. Soviet cultural exchange pro-
gram.
Designated a "target" by Jew-
ish student activists protesting the
mistreatment of Jews in the
USSR, their opening Jan. 28 was
elayed for nearly an hour by a
bomb scare and the release of am-
monia fumes in the hall which
forced hundreds of ticket-holders to
leave their seats.

Subsequent performances on
Friday night, Saturday matinee
and Saturday night were held
without incident. A spokesman
for Carnegie Hall told the Jew-
ish Telegraphic Agency that the
hall was "half empty" for every
performance except the Sunday
matinee. He said there had been
cancellations but did not say
how many. It was believed that
the cancellations stemmed from
fear of new incidents and were
not a protest against the ap-
pearance of the Russian troupe.

About 80 uniformed policemen
were deployed in and around Car-
negie Hall. for the Sunday after-
nnon performance, according to
a spokesman. A group of youngs-
ters distributed leaflets a block
away from the hall. A peaceful
demonstration was held outside
the recital building last Friday
night.
Glenn Richter, national coordi-
nator of the Student Struggle for
Soviet Jewry, told the JTA that
its Five Towns chaper was in-
volved. But he disclaimed respon.
sibility for the ammonia attack
and bomb scare.

Border Police
in Gaza Strip
Defended

JERUSALEM (JTA) — While
the Gaza Strip enjoyed a rare
weekend without violence, Police
Minister Shlomo Hillel offered a
heated defense of the performance
of the Israeli border police in the
area.
Addressing the Engineers Forum
in Haifa, Billet denounced "the na-
tional sport of unjustifiably slan-
dering the entire force" by means
of "idle talk against men who
fulfill their duty with devotion
despite grave danger."
The border police are "subject
to the same strict discipline that
applies to every constable," the
47-year-old Baghdad-born Laborite
official declared, adding: "I am
proud that non-Jews do their duty
alongside Jews with such exem-
plary devotion. Such a unit de-
serves our admiration and praise,
no defamation."
The border police ha* been
under criticism since the recent
get-tough policy took effect in the
Gaza Strip to suppress terrorist

activities.
Two Knesset members, Mar
Wliner of the pro-Moscow Rakah
Communists, and Uri Avneri,
chairman of the Maoism Hazel)
New Force Movement, have ac-
cused the border police of com-
mitting "atrocities."
The charges were denied by

Interior Minister Yosef Burg.
Meanwhile, the army has con-

firmed that the official appointed
by Chief of Staff Haim Bar-Lev
to investigate complaints of un-
warranted force in the Strip will
deal only with the behavior of
, army troops, not that of border
police.
Asked if the police ministry had
appointed a similar investigator, a
ministry spokesman said that no
investigations were necessary as
no formai complaints had been
tiled.
