About 2,500 Jews passed through Vienna each month during the first four months ow of this year. Their number dropped to 1,500 in May and declined further during the first two weeks of June.

The American sources said they did not yet obtain a figure for June but by ac- cepting the Moscow statis- tics their total would be 14,830. In the first six months of 1972, the Americans said, emigrants totaled 15,500 while in the entire year the emigration was 31,500. Meanwhile, the number of House members now co-spon- soring the Mills/Vanik Bill has risen to 285. (Senate supporters for the companion Jackson Amendment number 77). Among the new co-spon- sors were Donald Brotzman (R., Colo.) and John Duncan (R., Tenn.). Both Congress- men came on after the Brezhnev visit and are mem- bers of the House Ways and Means Committee. Of the 25 committee mem- bers, 18 are supporters of the Mills/Vanik Bill. Work on the trade legislation has yet to be completed. In Vienna, Dmitri M. Segal, a Soviet Jewish scholar who fought a long battle with Russian authori- ties for permission to emi- grate, has arrived here on his way to Israel. Jewish sources said that the 36-year-old philologist a n d anthropologist h a d reached Vienna by air from Moscow with his wife Yelena, 29, and his mother. Segal told reporters in Moscow that he had been or- dered to report to security police headquarters and that he feared that he might be detained. The family's trouble in getting a Soviet exit permit apparently stemmed from the refusal of Mrs. Segal's father to permit her to leave. The Segals were driven by officials of the Jewish Agency to a transit camp at Schonau near Vienna, where the agency shelters Russian Jews who pass through Aus- tria to Israel. In Rehovot Prof. Alexan- der Lerner, the Soviet cyber- netics specialist who is awaiting permission to emi- grate with his family to Is- rael, has to some extent al- ready "arrived" at the Weizmann Institute of Sci- ence, where a number of his paintings have been received and humg for display. The oils, which portray scenes in an daround Mos- cow, were sent by Lerner to a colleague whom he has never met — Prof. Chaim L. Pekeris, head of the Insti- tute's applied mathematics department; the paintings now line the walls of the department's foyer. In October 1971, after ap- plying for an exit visa to Israel, Prof. Lerner was fired from his job at the Department of Large-scale Systems in the Institute of Control Sciences and from his chair at the Scientific and Technical University of Moscow; his son also lost his job and his daughter was barred from studying mathe- matics at the University of Moscow. Denied access to his own office, Prof. Lerner began to conduct weekly seminars for his students and asso- ciates in his Moscow flat. In January 1972, he, his son and daughter were offered positions as staff members , in the applied mathematics department of the Weizmann Institute. Later that year, Prof. Pekeris cabled Lerner that he would receive a weekly salary for his seminars and for preparing reviews and syntheses of papers on cy- bernetics published in Soviet journals. Meanwhile, London reports that a Soviet Supreme Court has reduced the sentence of Isaac Shkolnik from 10 to seven years, Jewish sources in the Soviet Union reported. The 37-year-old Jewish mechanic from Vinnitsa, Ukraine, w a s sentenced April 11 after a closed trial found him guilty of spying for Israel and anti-Soviet propaganda. No proof was presented at the trial that he was ever in possession of secret informa- tion he allegedly passed to Israel. Jewish sources in the Soviet Union reported that Yuri Sayasov, a prominent scientist, has received an exit vist and will leave for Israel shortly. The sources said that three other Jewish activists were denied visas. Bundesrat OKs Hike in War Victim Pay BONN (JTA) — The Bun- desrat (upper -house) ap- proved a government bill for 11.4 per cent increases in the pensions of war victims which will benefit many Is- raelis. DM 773,000,000 will be added to the 1974 budget bringing total disbursements for war victims to DM 10,000,000,000 annually. Classifieds Get Quick Results DON'T LET YOUR KIDS GO DOWN THE DRAIN!!
