NEW YORK (JTA)—So-
viet Jews who were told re-
cently that they could emi-
grate without paying the
heavy education head tax
were informed right after
the U.S. Presidential elec-
tions and the celebration in
the Soviet Union of the 55th
anniversary of the Bolshevik
Revolution that they would
now have to pay the fees, the
Student Struggle for Soviet
Jewry reported.
The SSSJ said it learned
of the reversal in a telephone
conversation with Yuli Tar-
takovsky, a leading Jewish
activist in Kiev.
Tartakovsky said the So-
viet authorities also reneged
on their earlier promise in
the cases of about 70 Jews
from Kiev, Novosibirsky and
other cities who had been
waiting from three weeks to
four months for their exit
visas.
The SSSJ said one of them
was Eleanora Poltinnikov
Yampolsky, the recent bride
of activist Mark Yampol-
sky. She has been ordered
to pay 5,500 rubles for a
visa.
The SSSJ said that four
Kiev Jews who have been
waiting 18 months to get
visas have renounced their
Soviet citizenship. They were
identified as Yuri and Batya
Soroko, Simha Remenik and
Zhinovy Melamed. Melamed
has been cut off from com-
munications with relatives
abroad, and packages sent
to him last June have not
been delivered, the SSSJ re-
ported.
Genady Goldberg, 18, of
Kiev was drafted into the
army soon after he applied
fcr an exit visa.
Kiev activist Alexander
Ger has reported that 80

and children, have been

cation.
They pointed out that large
sums are demanded "inde-
pendent of the number of

asked Abrasimov "Why did

PLEASANTVILLE, N. Y.
(JTA) — A new religious
education center was dedi-
cated by the Jewish Child
Care Association of New
York at its Pleasantville
Cottage School for its Jew-
ish, Protestant and Catho-
lic child residents.
Officials said that for the
first time since the faculty

chapels are available to Pro-
testant and Catholic children
for whom only makeshift
chapels previously were pos-
sible. The new center re-
places the facility's original
syuagogue, which was des-
troyed by a fire.
Day Care Center
NEW YORK (JTA) — A
day care program for chil-
dren age 31/2-5 of mainly Jew-
ish mothers in the Coney
Island area of Brooklyn, de-
signed to enable such moth-
ers to get needled jobs or
to further their education to
qualify for jobs, has been
dedicated at the Ilenriette

Brooklyn.
A federation spokesman
said the Berger day care
center was the only one of
some 30 pre-school centers,
providing care for 2,500 chil-
dren in Ys and Jewish Cen-
ters, partly funded by out-
side Jewish funding.
Boost for Products?
JERUSALEM — Uzi Fin-
erman, a member of the
Knesset, insists that Israeli
products would sell better in
the United States with a
little extra advertising.
Not so, says Oded Erez,
an Israel trade officer in the
U.S. The Israeli product
must be able to stand- up in
a free competitive market.
Erez, commercial repre-
sentative of the ministry of
commerce and industry in
New York. cited the case of
gefilte fish exports to the
U.S. which are faltering. He
attributed this to the fact
that the Israeli fish was three
times the price of the Ameri-
can counterpart.
