permit to emigrate to Israel.
Pyatetsky-Shapiro first
applied in March, 1973. For-
merly with the Institute of
Applied Mathematics at
Moscow University, his ap-
plication for exit was first
refused because he had sup-
posedly had contact with
"secret information."
Meanwhile, the NCSJ and
the Greater New York Con-
ference on Soviet Jewry re-
ported that four other Mos-
cow Jews have received exit
visas. They are: Leonid Ko-
shovoy, 44; Isaac Dimshits,
50; Lev Karp, 38, and Gri-
gory Knizhnik, 37.
Koshovoy, who first ap-
plied to leave in September
1970 and Dimshits, who
originally applied to leave
in May 1969, have long
been involved in the Soviet
Jewry movement within
the USSR and are among
the oldest refuseniks in
Moscow.
Karp, whose application
had been pending for more
than one year, was a profes-
sor in the field of technical
cybernetics and in charge of
research and practice of
automation systems in com-
puters for health and for-
estry programs for the
USSR. Knizhnik, a lecturer
in radio electronics, first ap-
plied more than one year
ago.
The New York Legal Coa-
lition on Soviet Jewry,
meanwhile, an affiliate of
the NYCSJ, filed a formal
petition with Soviet officials
in a drive to reunite Dr. Al-
exander Tiemkin with his
16-year-old daughter, Mar-
ina.
In Tel Aviv, the Israeli
Students Union has issued
membership cards to nine
Jewish students serving
prison sentences in the So-
viet Union. Two of them,
Israel Zalmanson and Jo-
seph Mendelowitz, were de-
fendants in the first Lenin-
grad hijack trial in 1970 and
were sentenced to eight and
ten years' imprisonment,
respectively.
Four other students
were jailed for alleged eva-
sion of military duty when
they were drafted into the
Soviet Army shortly after
applying for visas to emi-
grate to Israel. They are
Alexander Slinin, Yaacov
Vinarov and Anatoly
Malkin, all of whom were
given three-year sentences
and Alexander Silinizki,
sentenced to two years.
Yuri Vudka was sentenced
to seven years' hard labor
for alleged "Zionist activi-
ties" and Arkadi and
Leonid Vainman, twin
brothers, received four-
year sentences each for
"hooliganism."
Meanwhile, Soviet au-
thorities have reduced the
travel tax leived on emi-
grants from 900 to 800 ru-
bles per person but have
imposed a new tax on books
taken out of the country,
Jewish sources in the Soviet
Union reported.
The sources said the
lower travel tax was appar-
ently a propaganda ploy
while the duty on books

JERUSALEM (JTA ) —
Israeli homosexuals came
out of the closet and into the
national spotlight last week
in a 31/2-hour television
panel discussion, the first
ever in Israel to deal with
the problems of homosex-
uals.
The program featured
two male homosexuals who
readily identified them-
selves and several others
whose faces were concealed
from viewers. Two psychia-
trists and two MKs were
also on the panel.
She rejected the claim by
one of the psychiatrists that
homosexuality was a dis-
ease.

Israel Homosexuals' Existence
Revealed on National Program
The MKs took opposing
views on the issue of liber-
alizing Israel's strict laws
proscribing homosexual
acts. Shulamit Aloni of the
leftist Yaad faction de-
clared that the laws must
be changed because homo-
sexuals have the same
right as all citizens to fol-
low their own life-style in
private without fear of
blackmail and loss of jobs.

said he would fight against
liberalizing the laws be-
cause he believed that lift-
ing the ban on homosexual
acts would be to admit they
were "a good thing" and per-
missible.
I. Angel, an admitted
homosexual who partici-
pated in the discussion, dis-
closed for the first time that
an organization exists in
Israel for homosexuals and
lesbians.
