Jackson Says Soviets Approved Kissinger's Letter

LONDON (JTA) — Sen.
Henry 'M. Jackson said here
that he had good reason to
believe that the Soviet lead-
ers. saw Secretary of State
Henry A. Kissinger's Oct. 18
letter to him outlining Soviet
emigration before it was dis-
patched.
The Washington Democrat,
in London for meetings with
Prime Minister Harold Wil-
son and Foreign Secretary
James Callaghan, said at a
press conference that he
wanted to clear up some mis-
derstandings regarding his
ange of letters with Kis-
er. He said the assur-
es Kissinger gave him
e based on assurances the
secretary of state had him-
self received from the Krem-
lin.
"It is clearly stated in the
letter that (visa) applica-
tions would be processed on
a non-discrimination basis in
regard to race, religion or
ethnic origin," Jackson said.
"It is important to keep in
mind that the Soviet authori-
ties had undertaken to proc-
ess applications for exit
visas- in order of their sub-
mission, and to expedite
hardship cases. It is also im-

portant to keep in mind that
the Soviet authorities had un-
dertaken not to apply the
education tax ... and equally
important, the Soviet author-
ities had undertaken to give
sympathetic consideration to
representations in individual
cases."
The senator disclosed that
the figure of 60,000 Jews
leaving the USSR annually
had originated with him. "As
you knbw, the letter mentions
no figure. I based it on
130,000 applications n o w
pending. It was my assump-
tion that at least 60,000
would be cleared every year,
and that the same number
would continue to apply an-
nually. But this is a minimal
figure," he added.
Meanwhile, Jewish groups
in the United States and
abroad monitoring the treat-
ment of Jews in the Soviet
Union report that harassment
of visa applicants and their
families and the Mistreat-
ment of "prisoners of con-
science" is intensifying de-
spite guildelines contained in
the Oct. 18 letters.
In New York, the Student
Struggle for Soviet Jewry re-
ported that '70 Soviet Jewish
activists have appealed to
Kissinger to "do all you can
to save the life of Dr. Mik-
hail Stern," a noted pedia-
trician whose trial in . Vin-
nitsa is expected soon.
Dr. Stern has been under
detention and constant inter-
rogation for nearly six
months on a series of charges
alleging -poisoning of chil-
dren. His arrest has been
attributed to the fact that his
sons, Viktor and August, ap-
plied a year ago for visas to
emigrate to Israel.
Dr. Stern's sons, who have
been dismissed from their
jobs and had their property
conficated, said they have
sought , to find out the speci-
fic charges against their
father. "We fear greatly for
his life, but we cannot find
out how he feels," the SSSJ
reported.
A lawyer from the Vinnitse
Lawyers Association h a s
been appointed by the town's
municipal authority as coun-
sel for the-defense, but he
has refused to talk to mem-
bers of Dr. Stern's family.
Reports from the National
Conference on Soviet Jewry
in New York stated that
Soviet prison authorities are
deliberately isolating Jewish
prisoners. Others are being
punished with solitary con- .
finement or denial of family
visits. Among those trans-
ferred are Boris Penson,
Boris Azernikov, Lassal Ka-
minsky and Mikhail Koren-
blit. Conditions in the new
camp are reported worse
than those in the Potma labor
camp from which they were
transferred.
In addition, Azernikov; who
was arrested in 1971 and is
serving ,a 3 1/2-year sentence,
was also given six months
solitary confinement, accord-
ing to the NCS.I: Israel Zal-
manson and Penson were
denied visits by their fami-
lies. Anatoly Altman, who is
ill, was refused a medical
parcel sent by his family.
According to reports re-
ceived in London from Jew-
ish sources in the USSR, Col.
Yefim Davidovitch of Minsk,
a Red Army hero, has been
requested to appear before
the army registration board

and told that he will be
stripped of his rank and de-
prived of his pension unless
he gives up his demand for
an exit visa to Israel.
In another- development,
Jewish sources reported that
Vladimir Kisling of Kiev was
brutally beaten recently by
•"unknown persons", and then
sentenced to 15, days impri-
sonment for "hooliganism"
because he tried to defend
himself. A group of Kiev
Jews who complained to the
local KGB chief that they
are being harassed by his
own men were warned that

they would "meet with the
fate of Kisling."
Another Jewish activist,
Leonid Tsipin, was also
beaten by hooligans and com-
plained about the incident
to police. When he came to
the police station several
days ago to see about the
progress of _the investigation
the police chief refused to
talk to him.
These incidents were re-
ported to Sen. James Buck-
ley (R-C,NY), who met with
Soviet Jews in Moscow at the
start of his week-long visit
to the USSR. Buckley, a
