12 June 4, 1976 THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS Petition Campaign Seeking to End Helsinki Violations LOS ANGELES (JTA) — A petition campaign, seek- ing human rights for Soviet Jews, was launched by the Community Relations Com- mittee's Commission on So- viet Jewry when Dr. Alex- ander -Luntz, one of the activists who initiated the petition in Moscow, visited Los Angeles in April. The campaign is part of a world- wide movement to stop So- viet violations of the Hel- sinki accord. Luntz, a distinguished scientist and a key spokes- man for activists when he was in the Soviet Union, was released last February and is currently touring key cities in the U.S. to mobilize support for the "refu- seniks." The petition campaign was signed by Sen. John Tunney (D-Calif.), Mayor Tom Bradley, and members of the Los Angeles City Council, led by Councilmen John Ferraro and Zev Ya- roslaysky.

No wonder the fa- vorite in Jewish homes has been Tetley since 1875—now beginning a second century! bers of the Christian clergy, who met with Dr. Luntz at a meeting arranged by the American Jewish Commit- tee, also signed the petition and indicated they would seek support from the Christian community. The petition, addressed to Soviet Communist Party Secretary Leonid Brezhnev, calls on the USSR to carry out specific positive actions with re- gard to the human rights of Soviet Jews. One mil- lion signatures are being sought nationwide. The Brussels Conference presidium, meanwhile, will establish a special center in Paris to coordinate and ex- change information on the status of Soviet Jews, ac- cording to Jewish Agency chairman Yosef Almogi. Almogi, who returned from a presidium meeting in Zurich, said that the pre- sidium has been receiving reports of increased anti- Dayan Is Willing to Return Kunitra Hills for Peace Pact JERUSALEM — Israel's former Defense Minister Moshe Dayan said that if Syria were ready to resettle Kunitra, he would support the return of the hills sur- rounding the town.

Dayan, who was address- ing members of Evron, a Mapam kibutz near Naha- riya, said he believed Presi- dent Assad was beginning to understand that he could not simply tell Israel to get out of the Golan, and not make peace in return. Meanwhile, on Sunday in London, Dayan electri- fied a crowd of nearly 20,- 000 who gathered at Earl's Court amphitheater in a powerful demonstration of solidarity with Israel. The rally, the largest of its kind ever held in Britain, was preceded by a parade of Jewish and Zionist youth groups from Albert Hall in West London where Dayan had released a flock of pigeons as a symbol of Israel's quest of peace. Dayan told the assem- blage that their display of solidarity was gratifying. But, he added, "You are here not in solidarity with Israel but in solidarity with yourselves as members of the Jewish people and their 2,000 years-old prayers for the return to Israel and the creation of their own Jewish State." He said that above all, Jewish solidarity meant set- 'fling in Israel, learning the Hebrew language and serv- ing in Israel's armed forces.

PARIS, (JTA) — More than 50,000 Jews and others from all over France at- tended a marathon "Twelve Hours For Israel" fair and rally Sunday at the central fair grounds. The event, or- ganized by the French United Jewish Appeal and the French Jewish Central Welfare Fund (FSJU), was described as the largest demonstration of solidarity with Israel ever held in this country at a time when Is- rael was not at war.

He said taxes have been im- posed on Jews receiving gift packages from abroad and on those getting financial aid. Many of the Jews who have applied for exit visas are now jobless because they were immediately fired from their posts, he said. Meanwhile, after a sepa- ration of 31/2 years, Edward Gorin has been reunited with his wife and two daughters. The family was brought to the United States under the auspices of HIAS, the worldwide Jew ish migration agency. Gorin, a world renowned musician, is first violinist with the Baltimore Sym- phony. Russian immigration to the U.S. is about to be stepped up as more than 2,000 Russian Jews in transit outside Rome re- ceive their visas for entry to the U.S., according to New York Association for New Americans. At least 350 Russian im- migrants per month are ex- pected in New York alone over the next few months. This is more than double the average monthly migration rate of Russians to this city in the past. About one half the Russian immigrants coming to the U.S. settle in New York. The increased flow is the result of the processing out of a human bottleneck that developed recently in Ostia, a Roman suburb used as a transit station for Russians wanting to settle in coun- tries other than Israel. The bottleneck was mainly due to a sudden rise in the num- ber of Russians deciding to settle in the U.S. and other western countries rathe than Israel.
