30 Young Georgian Jews on Hunger Strike to Protest Delays in Processing Visas LONDON (JTA)—More than 30 Jewish youth, most of them wear- ing Stars of David on their clothes, defied Moscow police and re- mained on the premises of the cen- tral telegraph office in the Soviet capital Tuesday night, where they have been conducting a hunger strike to protest delays in process- ing their visa applications. According to information reach- ing here from Moscow, the youths say they are from Soviet Georgia. They entered the telegraph office Monday and sat on benches or stood quietly at the counter. They politely but firmly declined to move when police ordered them to do so, sources reported. Members of the group said they had telegraphed the Central Com- mittee of the Soviet Communist Party asking that their case be taken up. Two weeks ago, a group of Jews from Latvia and Lithuania held a similar sit-in at the Moscow telegraph office. (In Jerusalem Wednesday, the organization of Georgian Jews in Jerusalem sent a cable of encour- Pg•ement to the telegraph office sit- ins. The cable said "World Jewry watches you with pride. Be strong. We hope to see you soon in Israel.") More than 300 Jews demon- strated outside Communist Party headquarters in Tbilisi, capital of the Soviet Georgian Republic, protesting the Soviet authorities' failure to process their applica- lions for visas to go to Israel. At a similar demonstration earlier, more than 200 Tbilisi Jews stood outside party head- quarters and harassed personnel. They dispersed when promised that an official from Moscow would come to deal with their cases. The official who arrived last Fri- day met with the Jews but failed to satisfy them. The Soviet Embassy here, the scene of almost daily demonstra- tions of sympathy with Soviet Jews, informed police commis- sioner, Sir John Waldron, that it will receive deputations and peti- tions two days a week, Mondays and Thursdays. Members of the Universities Committee for Soviet .Jewry an- nounced that they would picket the Soviet Intourist office here Thurs- day when the trial of Aleksander Gorbach, a Jewish engineer, is expected to open in Kharkov, Ukraine. Gorbach is charged with "en- gaging in private enterprises" considered detrimental to the Soviet Union. He faces a prison term of up to five years if con- victed.

The young woman wrote that she was expelled from the university and was jeered and insulted by fellow students at a meeting of the Komsomol — the Communist Party Youth Organization — when she asked for the character refer- ence needed to obtain an exit visa. She said the students peti- tioned the Kharkov prosecutor to start proceedings against her for "Zionist propaganda." Meanwhile, it was reported that the older brother of Valeriy Kukui testified against him at his trial last month. Jewish sources disclosed Valeriy Kukui was tried June 15 and 16 in Sverdlovsk and was sentenced June 21 to three years in prison for anti-Soviet "slander" involving the distribution of petitions criti- cizing the trials of Sr let Jews. Kukui is 33 rs.nd has a 31-year- old wife and a 6-year-old daughter. The brother's name was not immediately available, but he was said by the sources to be a Communist Party member who was convinced that Valeriy's activities constituted anti-Soviet slander. The brother did not actually attend the trial, because of illness, but submitted a state- ment. Their mother, on the other hand, defended Valeriy against the charges leveled at him. At the trial, the sources added, two per- sons disavowed statements they had signed that were critical of Valeriy Kukui's activities. Lev Blank said he had signed under duress, and Mrs. Sophie Movsho- vich said she had signed out of fear. Jewish sources here reported that Hillel Zalmanovich Shur, the Soviet Jewish engineer recently sentenced in Kishinev to two years in labor camp for alleged anti- Soviet activities, is suffering from heart disease and an ulcer. Men's Clubs Federation Urges Emigration Rights for Soviet Jews WASHINGTON (JTA) — The Soviet Union was asked by the National Federation of Jewish Men's Clubs to allow free emigra- tion of its Jews and to end "show- case trials" and other acts of cultural repression and discrimina- tion against its almost 3,000,000 Jews. A resolution adopted by the fed- eration's e x e c u t iv e committee, urged the governments of the free nations of the world, and the UN to do their utmost to influence the Soviet government to take such actions. Sens. Henry Jackson (D., Wash.) and William Brock (R., Tenn.) introduced a resolution calling on the State Department to bring up the issue of Russian violation of the Declaration of Human Rights in the General Assembly of the United Nations. The resolution, co-sponsored by 12 other senators so far, including Humphrey, Goldwater and Mc- Govern, asks the President to utilize formal and informal con- tacts with the Soviet Union to per- suade the USSR to change its limited emigration policies and to allow free exercise of religion within the USSR. The program, partially funded by a grant from the National Con- ference on Soviet Jewry, began THE DETROIT JEWISH NEW 8—Friday, July 16, 1971 Ex Polish Diplomat Among New Israel Arrival: - LOD—A fomer Polish diplomat,. insults" and "all forms of p among the Jewish immigrants from sure" are applied by officials t Eastern Europe who arrived at Lod stop application for exit visas.

June Saw Highest Emigration of Jews From Soviet Union MOSCOW — Diplomatic sources said this week that the flow of Jews from the Soviet Union to Israel reached the highest rate ever in June when more than 1,300 persons received exit visas, United Press International reports. Although the exact number was not disclosed, the sources said it will be higher than the 1,300 figure for April "and it may be considerably higher than that." April had seen the record total since the establishment of Israel in 1948. Total figure for 1971, through June, is more than 5,000 — more than twice as many as in any previous year. Until this year, the emigration rate of Jews ran about 100 a month on the average. S'u d d e n 1 y, in March, the figure shot up to 1,025 and in April to 1,300. It dropped slightly in May to about 950. radae SERVING ONLY PRIME AND CHOICE MEATS SINGER'S Member Detroit Retail Kosher Meat Dealers Assoc.
