Eugene Gold, Kings Coun- ty District Attorney and chairman of the Greater New York Conference on Soviet Jewry, and New York attor- ney Ezra G. Levin, took part in the news conference. Levin and Malcolm met with Soviet officials in charge of correctional institutions and visited with Jewish ac- tivists in Moscow, Lvov, Kiev and Leningrad during their two-week visit Oct. 28 to Nov. 11. Malcolm said that visits with "refuseniks"—those de- nied exit permits—had to be held at night. Malcolm said that if the new U.S.-Soviet trade agree- Gift Givers Kno OnlyV.O. isVO. ment, which links trade con- cessions to the USSR with an increase in the number of Soviet emigrants and an end to harassment of exit visa applicants, is to have any meaning, it must provide for the restoration of communi- cations, so that "refuseniks" throughout Russia can tell the West their stories of in- timidation and harassment. Without "continued publicity in and pressure from the West," no change will be made in Soviet policy, they said. They reported that they found their rooms searched, their activities monitored and the KGB secret police outside the apartments of several of the `refuseniks" they visited. Malcolm, a leading New York black protestant, and Levin, a Jew, attended _a privately-held worship ser- vice, allowed by authorities after confiscation of prayer- books and prayer shawls dur- ing the past High Holy Days. They said the congregation of 15 men and one woman, all 65 or older, begged them to leave because they were afraid of the government. In a related development, the Greater New York Con- ference received an appeal from R. Brizinov for his brother-in-law, Albert Kultu- nov of Chernovitz. Koltunov was arrested last March 13 after he and his wife applied for visas to rejoin their fam- ilies in Israel. Kultunov was accused of -"spending millions of rubles" and witnesses were employed to provide false statements against him. Two anonymous letters, written in 1972 and 1973, were submitted by the prosecution in Kultunov's trial and witnesses testified he had received bribes from them to influence lottery winnings. Koltunov was a senior au- ditor in the Vinnitsa depart- ment of the Chernovitz sports lottery office. Brizinov said Koltunov had no reason to accept bribes because there was no way he could influence lottery win- nings and that the anony- mous letters "were obvious- ly fabricated" for the pur- pose of intimidating Soviet Jews wanting to go to Israel. The trial began last June 3 with defense witnesses barred from the courtroom and a new attorney appoint- ed to defend Kultunov on the trial's opening day. He was sentenced to five years in a strict regime camp for "economic crimes" and his property was confis- cated. Seeking an appeal, his wife hired several lawyers who were all denied access to the evidence. AMSTERDAM (JTA)—Maj. Gerald C. Van Gorcum, a retired Dutch officer who served in the United Nations truce observer force in the Middle East in 1958-59, has returned the decorations he earned in that service in protest against the appear- ance of PLO chief Yasir Arafat at the UN. Maj. Van Gorcum, 63, de- clared that Arafat's pres- ence before the General As- sembly was "an offense to everybody who, like myself, tried to promote peace in the Middle East." He added that "admitting this political play- boy and gang leader to ad- dress the UN is completely unacceptable." At the time of man's de- parture from this world, there are three who plead for- him: his family, his money, and his good deeds.

News Special Israel Correspondent What happened at the first performance of the famous dancers of the Kirov _Ballet, Valery and Galina Panov is hard to describe. The 3,000 persons in Mann Auditorium, including President Ephraim Katzir and Mrs. Golda Meir were Witness to a special art event. People were ready to pay any price for this event. Hundreds stood in front of the hall—young and -old, sol- diers and students — and begged to be let in. The dancers were applaud- ed in a standing ovation. Valery and Galina were deeply touched by the warm reception. With tears in their eyes they were hardly able to start their dances. They danced scenes from Tschaikovsky's "Nutcracker Suite," "The Girl and the Bandit" from Jhostokaririts, "The Comedians" from the Petrushka Suite from Stra- vinsky. Panov's acrobatic jumps were execucted with the highest art. The audience was completely taken in and there were constant, stormy waves of applause. Valery looked as if he would sail through the air. His mimic was perfect and his sinewy 'body seemed to be naturally created for this special acrobatic art. Galina Panov has proved that she is also a prima bal- lerina. When the Panovs had finished their program, the audience applauded and shouted, and threw flowers. Panov said, "Never in our life shall we forget this eve- ning . ." The Panovs have five per- formances with the Israeli Philharmonic Orchestra and all tickets are -sold. They AT MORRIS BUICK have succeeded in turning their performances into a big-demonstration for Russian Jews, who are fighting for their right to emigrate to Israel. mat vim- mei row edalrill ■ Mar 'Mr 14500 W. 7 Mile AT LODGE X-WAY 342-7100 Ira= ' •s min -owl To: The Jewish News Mile Rd Suite 865 17515 W. 9 Southfield, Mich. 48075 1 l i i I il 1 I I, from Paste .. 1. !I ii ■ 1 in old label" I I I I 1. il I II 1 I 1 I I NAME 1 • - - - - L . ;.... - • Allow ow T wo Weeks J=la lafILAM-111111•1 '
