Emigres Are Forced to Refund Costs of Education to Soviet Government TEL AVIV (JTA) — Sources in! Moscow confirmed Wednesday by telephone that Jews leaving the Soviet Union must refund the costs of their education. The sources said the Soviet gov- ernment's decision, adopted Aug. 3, imposed the following "special taxes" or "education refunds": For a graduate of a humanistic institution, 4,500 rubles ($4,995); for a graduate of a polytechnium, 7,700 rubles (58,547); for a grad- uate of a high school of arts and music, 9,600 rubles ($10,656); for a graduate of a university, 12,200 rubles ($13,542), plus another 5,400 rubles ($5,904) if a grad- uate of an institution of science, for a total of 17,600 rubles ($19,- 536); for a professor, 19,400 rubles ($21,534). The sources stressed that these sums are beyond the dreams of Soviet academicians or technicians, whose salaries range between 200 and 300 rubles ($222-333) a month. The new rule, they said, has caused grave anxiety among Soviet Jews. Officials of two major Jewish organizations Wednesday denounc- ed in separate statements the ad- ditional charge by Soviet officials. Richard Maass, chairman of the National Conference on Soviet Jewry, called the decision "black- mail and ransom." "The callous- ness of th:s newest move is surely a desperate one on the part of the Soviet Union," he said. It is "apparent that the Soviet Union is determined to break the spirit of the Jews who wish to emigrate to escape discrimination . . . The civilized world must unequivocably condemn the selling of Jewish bodies and brains by Soviet author- ities," he stated. Rabbi Gilbert Klaperman, chair- man of the Greater New York Conference on Soviet Jewry, and Stanley Lowell, chairman-elect of the Conference, charged that "This new step is but another in- dication of the increased oppres- sion of Soviet Jews . . It would take many years for all but a few to accumulate the kind of money that would be necessary to secure an exit visa," they said. called upon President Nixon to immediately appoint a committee to investigate the "discrimination and plight" of Soviet Jews. He also asked that the chairman of the committee report directly to the Presi- dent. Klaperman and Lowell called on the U.S. government, the United Nations and other international bodies to join in demanding "an end to these vio- lations of human rights and de- cency." 20th Year of Intellectuals' Massacre Marked in Many Cities Maass TEL AVIV (JTA) — David Nlarkish, son of the Jewish poet, Peretz Markish, who was murder- ed in 1952 with 23 other Soviet Jewish intellectuals by Stalin, said Radish last Saturday in Moscow in one of many observances throughout the world of the 20th anniversary of the executions. More than 50 Jews attended the services at the crematorium where Solomon Mikhoels, one of the 24, was buried, according to a tele- phone report by David to his wife Irene, in Tel Aviv. Hundreds of Jews visited the Markish home Saturday where the poet and his mother, Esther, are living, denied permission to leave the Soviet Union, despite worldwide protests. The Mark- ishes received many letters and cables from foreign countries. The young poet, •ahr, forced to work as a oorler he applikrd fore • The 20th anniversary of the tragic "black years" of the Stalin regime during which there were mass murders of Jewish writers, of distinguished poets and noted artists, is an occasion for demand to be made upon the Russian government to release those who seek haven in Israel. Special appeals are being directed in behalf of Esther Markish, widow of Peretz Markish, the great Russian-Jewish writer who was among those murdered on Stalin's orders, and her son, David. They are being persecuted and denied visas to leave Russia. Appeals in their behalf should be addressed to Ambassador Anatoly Dobrynin, USSR Embassy, 1125 16th St. NW., Washington, D.C. 20036. At the same time, messages of comfort and encouragement should be written to Esther and David Markish, 64 Gorky, Apt. 67, Moscow, USSR. wife that the Soviet interior min- istry had rejected their Russian citizenship. He added that he in- tends to appeal to the Supreme Soviet on the request. The Herut Party world executive sent expressions of solidarity to the Markishes, declaring the party would do all in its power to help them leave for Israel. About 100 passersby joined a brief ceremony at the Isaiah Wall near United Nations Friday in New York to commemorate the 1952 murders. In Paris, Dr. Nathan Goldmann urged the Soviet government to act to "put an end to the suffer- ing and difficulties presently en- countered by the Soviet Jews."

"These men had made an es- sential contribution to the cul- tural and national heritage of the Jewish people," he continued. "This coldly perpetrated assassina- tion annihilated a group of men who were rightly considered as the flower of the Jewish intellect- ual elite." Goldmann, who became WJC president the year after the execu- tions, said it would be "appropri- ate" for the Soviet government at this time "to grant Soviet Jews the right of emigration to Israel if they wish to be either reunited with their family or to settle in the country of their ancestors; to stop the harassment and halt fur- ther detention of Soviet Jews whose only crime is to claim the right of emigration and release those who are presently held in various detention camps for simi- lar motives; to give Soviet Jews who wish to remain in the Soviet Union the possibility of leading a full Jewish life with all the ap- propriate institutions pertaining to their traditions, in conformity with the constitution of Soviet Russia" The National Conference on So- viet Jewry issued a booklet, "The Night of the Murdered Poets," containing English translations of the works of some of Stalin's vic- tims. The booklet said that until repression against Soviet Jews ceased, "the echoes of Aug. 12," the anniversary of the murders. "will not be stilled."
