treatment to which Dr. Stern
was subjected from the time
of his arrest last May until
his trial in December and his
subsequent sentence to eight
years at hard labor:
It also reported that 29
Jewish activists from Vin-
nitsa, Moscow, Minsk, Vilna,
Riga and Odessa have appeal-
ed to doctors all over the
world to protest the verdict
against Stern.
In a related development,
it was learned that the Soviet
Supreme Court in Moscow
has refused to reverse the
death sentence imposed on
Mikhail Leviev, a Moscow
Jew charged with alleged
economic crimes. The court's
refusal was related to re-
porters by Leviev's son,
Alexander. He said the rul-
ing came last week and that
a telegram from the family
appealing for clemency was
rejected.
(In Los Angeles, women
held a day of fast to elicit
public support for clemency
for Dr. Stern and. Leviev. The
fast was conducted on the
steps of City Hall. Mayor
Thomas Bradley and city
councilmen and public offi-
cials addressed the fasters
