THE DETROIT JEWISH • NEWS Synod Discusses Capucci ; Patriarch Gives Support ROME (JTA)—The Synod of Bishops, meeting in the Vatican recently discussed the arrest and detention in Israel of Catholic Archbishop Hillarion Capucci. Patriarch Melchite Maxi- mus V asked the Synod not to condemn Capucci for the alleged activities of which he has been accused and to ig- nore the "propaganda against him." Patriarch Maximus de- clared that Capucci was a man who had taken risks in order to attract the world's attention to the problems and . rights of Arabs, especially those in Jerusalem and the territories occupied by Israel since the 1967 war. SIMCHAT TORAH Wayne State University's Effie Ambler, an assistant professor of history, sheds some light on the ambiguities and iron-fisted rule of gen- erations of Russian bureau- crats with a look at the Rus- sia of a century ago in her new volume, "Russian Jour- nalism and Politics," pub- lished by the Wayne State University Press. Looking at a 20-year pe- riod (1861-81) surrounding the work of Russian publish- er Aleksei S. Suvorin, Dr. Ambler examines the con- straints placed on the Rus- sian press by the ever-chang- ing official policies, and the limited readership in a coun- try of illiteracy. The short volume (only 180 pages, plus 50 of foot- notes and index) deals hea- vily, and too fully with the ever-changing Russian press. Its best points are the in- sights gained into a Russian elite minority that was at least 100 years behind the rest of the civilized world in emancipating its common people. Dr. Ambler mentions a number of incidents that de- scribe the burdens of Rus- sian life, caused by the small number of aristocrats and bureaucrats that still control the massive populations. Israeli Embassy in Brussels Hits Bias in the Media Soviet Jewry SOLIDARITY RALLY Jewish Community Center 10 Mile Road Sunday, October 13, 7:30 p.m. Speakers Dancing Singing BRUSSELS (JTA) — The Israel Embassy here has protested against articles ap- pearing in the Belgian press which "give a distorted pic- ture to the public" about the emigration of Soviet Jews from Israel. The embassy said • Israel recognizes the right of all Jews to freely immigrate to Israel or emigrate from there to another country. "It is regrettable but un- derstandable that among the more than 100,000 persons who have recently come to Israel, about 1,700 have not been able to integrate them- selves into Israeli society" the official communique de- clared. "This is a phenomenon which occurs in all migra- tions to whatever . country, and often in considerably higher proportions." Within recent weeks, some 600 Soviet Jews have left Israel for Belgium in - hopes of immigrating to other coun- tries, notably the United States and Canada. Meanwhile, a Belgian chap- ter of the League Against Racism and Anti-Semitism (LICA) will soon be created here, according to Jean Pierre Bloch, former French minister and president of LICA.

However, the liberal "Saint Petersburg Notices" was warned about an article only two weeks after the czar's proclamation took effect. "Altogether, in the - first 15 months of the new era, six publications received 12 warnings." Five were sus- pended, which effectively forced them out of business through heavier regulation and censorship. Dr. Ambler notes: "Thus the Chief Administration of Press Affairs made clear that neither criticism of gov- ernment measures, nor inde- pendent opinions, nor unso- licited suggestions would be any more welcome in the fu- ture than in the past. "Every Russian journalist, no matter what his political tendency, worked under the threat of possibly fatal pun- ishments—from which there was no appeal." Dr. Ambler says that each relaxation of press regula- tions actually gave the cen- sors more authority and con- trol. By suspending individ-- ual street sales or advertise- ments, "the state could quickly bring to heel an er- rant newspaper or even force it, through financial loss, to close its doors—all without a,. possibly awkward trial or the external appear- ance of undue harshness." The book describes in de- tail publisher Suvorin's ear- ly years as a liberal report- er, and his rise to fame as one of the most feared and reactionary publishers in Russian history.
