Soviet Encyclopedia on Israel
Criticized As Erroneous
NEW YORK (JTA) — Mik-
hail Agursky, a Moscow ac-
tivist and cybernetics eng-
ineer, reported that the 10th
volume of the Great Soviet
Encyclopedia published re-
cently contains an article
about Israel of great signifi-
cance.
In a telephone conversation
with the Student Struggle for
Soviet Jewry, Agursky said:
"The borders of Israel are
outlined there (in the ency-
clopedia) as those set down
by the United Nations in 1947.
The Soviet government is
known to be making efforts
to implement the decision of
the UN Security Council of
Nov. 22, 1967.
"On examination, the So-
viet government recognizes
Israel as having the borders
she held Just prior to June 5,
1967. Yet the map of Israel
published in the encyclopedia
raises grave doubts about the
sincerity of the position of
the Soviet government. If it
is a mistake, the competent
Soviet bodies must reject the
map as the wrong one."
In another development,
the SSSJ reported that in a
3,000-word article in "Mezh-
dunarodnaya Zhizn," V. Bol-
shakov assails "international
Zionism" and its "slander-
ous campaign" of "lies about
the persecution of Jews in
the Soviet Union."
Prize Winner
Eugene lonesco
JERUSALEM — The Jeru-
salem Prize in connection
with the Jerusalem Book
Fair is to be given this year
to playwright Eugene Ion-
esco.
Ionesco was born in 1912
in Romania of a French-Jew-
ish mother and non-Jewish
father, according to Encyclo-
pedia Judaica. The following
year the family moved to
Paris returning to Romania
in 1925, and a few years later
the father abandoned the
wife and children. The young
Eugene specialized in French
studies. He went back to
France as a teacher and
literary critic.
Returning to Romania in
1940 he encountered the fas-
cism that he was to attack
in such bitter terms. In 1942
he fled back to France where
he has lived since. His wide-
ly acclaimed plays are most-
ly one-act caricatures of mid-
dle class smugness and Phi-
listinism, mixing comedy
and tragedy, surrealistic and
grotesque. The "Theater of
the Absurd" had its birth in
his play, "The Bald Sopra-
no."
Other famous plays include
"The Chairs," "Rhinoceros"
and "Exit the King."
Ionesco visited Israel and
made declarations in favor
of the state on the eve of
the Six-Day War. After it
was over, he wrote about his
family history for the first
time in his memoirs and ex-
pressed a new awareness of
his Jewish origin. In 1970 he
was elected to the French
Academy.
