why, after decades, the So-
viet state .can no longer pre-
vent its citizens from leaving.
Based on years of research
and travel, Schroeter en-
lightens his readers by ex-
plaining how Soviet Jews cre-
ate and distribute under-
ground (samizdat) books and
journals. He describes KGB
searches and interrogations.
One unforgettable chapter
describes how various ver-
sions of "Exodus" may well
constitute the all-time samiz-
dat best-seller.
Avram Shifrin, a Moscow
lawyer, and Alexander Guz-
man, a former Red Army of-
ficer, were prisoners in the
D u b r o v l a g concentration
camp in 1963. Both are now
in Israel, and relate the
story:
"A new idea occurred—to
translate 'Exodus' into Rus-
sian. All of the Jewish pris-
oners and many non-Jews
brought paper secretly to us,
one at a time. We had to
translate 600 pages in two
months."
During a recent trip to the
USSR, the author discovered
that "no Western journals
except those published by the
Communist parties are pub-
licly on sale. All TV and ra-

dia stations are identical in
content to what appears in
the press.
"In apartments, restaur-
ants, taxicabs or public places
where you can be overheard,
you do not carry on discus-
sions about anything but triv-
ia. Talking is done best while
walking."
While compiling this book,
Schroeter, an American law-
yer, faced the obstacle of
censored factual information,
from both the USSR and Is-
rael. But he realized that evi-
dence was available — from
the more than 90,000 Jews
who have left the USSR since
the Six Day War.
Shortly after the arrests of
Jews in Leningrad, Riga and
other Soviet cities in 1970,
Schroeter, then principal le-
gal assistant to the attorney
general of Israel, assisted in
attracting world public opin-
ion to the human rights impli-
cations of the political trials
to follow.
He soon became the om-
budsman to Jews arriving in
Israel. He worked intimately
with them" on problems asso-
ciated with their struggles.
Their stories, bound together
by facts and feelings, offer
an excellent understanding of

it was the Egyptian Em-
bassy and said that Mr. Isac
was the name under which
the Embassy subscribed to
a number of publications.
"Just leave it with us, it is
all right," the porter said
picking up the bulletin.
Among the seven messen-
gers riding midget motor-
cycles and distributing the
bulletin is one of Gen.
CharleS de Gaulle's nieces,
Laurence Vendroux.
The 19-year-old Ms. Ven-
droux, whose father is the
brother of Mrs. de Gaulle,
heard from Jewish student
friends that the JTA was
looking for messengers. She
was one of the first to apply
for the job, and got it.

Lion Feuchtwanger, the
great novelist, was one of the
few who were rescued from
the Vichy French camps near
Perpignan upon direct orders
of President Roosevelt. The
author is being honored post-
humously at his 90th birth-
day by the "Friends of the
USC Libraries" in Los An-
geles and special tribute paid
to his still active •wife, Marta
Feuchtwanger. Among the
hostesses for the event are
Sybil Brand, Mrs. Joseph
Schildkraut and Mrs. Spencer
Tracy. Ida Lupino will read
from the works of Lion
Feuchtwanger, one of the
giants of the written word.

"Children of Rags" is a
picture photographed by writ-
er-director Arthur Allan
Seidelman during eight weeks
on location in Israel and on
the island. of Malta, with
Simon Ward from England,
Helmut Griem from Ger-
many and Olga Georges-Picot
from France sharing star
billing. The film is a tragic
adventure in the human di-
lemma of people trapped in
the tinderbox of the Middle
East today. "It emphasizes

people not political issues,"
says director Seidelman.

Milton- Berle, who makes
return to the big screen as
father-in-law of Tony Curtis
in the feature "Lepke,"
doubled as guest conductor on
the Las Vegas celebrity train
initiating the special Amtrak
service from Los Angeles.
Berle, a regular on the night
club circuit of Las Vegas has
not aged in the 25 years
since he became Mr. Televi-
sion of the Texaco Hour.
Dressedas a brakeman and
conductor, he was given the
wrong signals with a red
lantern at the rear of the
train; too busy with auto-
graphs to notice the locamo-
tive already started out en
route to the Nevada resort
community, he was left at
the station.
George Segal portrays Sam
Spade, Jr. in "The Black
Bird," sequel to the 1941
Humphrey Bogart movie,
"The Maltese Falcon." The
new work in which French
actress Stephane Audr an
makes her U.S. debut is only
loosely based on the Sam
Spade character created by
novelist Dashiell Hammett.

'Mr. Isac' Flies Egypt Flag

PARIS (JTA)—The Jew-
ish Telegraphic Agency 'dis-
covered here that mysterious
"Mr. Isac," one - of its oldest
and most faithful subscrib-
ers, was the Egyptian Em-
bassy in Paris.
The JTA is distributing its
daily news bulletin by special
Motorcycle teams since the
start of the French postal
strike last week.
One of the messengers, a
young Jewish student, was
looking for 56 Avenue de
Iena ner the Place d'Etoile
to, deliver the bulletin ad-
dressed to Mr. Isaac Isac
when he saw the Egyptian
flag floating over the build-
ing.
The porter told him that

pressed Jews in the Soviet
state. The well-edited and de-
tailed book should be treated
as a reference tool for a con-
tinued search of information.
