Drop-Out Figures Soaring
JERUSALEM (JTA) —
The rate of drop-outs of
Soviet Jews leaving the
USSR with Israeli visas
soared to 69 percent last
month, the highest since
April when the drop-out
rate hit a record 63 per-
cent.
The figures released by
the Jewish Agency's Im-
migration and Absorp-
tion Department, showed
that 730 Russian Jews
who reached Vienna in
October decided to go to
countries other. than Is-
rael. The drop-out rate
was as high as 90 percent
among emigrants from
Odessa and Kharkov, the
Jewish Agency report
said.
The drop-out phe-
nomenon is a source
of serious concern in aliya
circles. It is the subject of
ongoing discussions in
New York where various
approaches to the prob-
lem are being considered
by a special committee
consisting of Israeli gov-
ernment and Jewish
Agency representatives
and representatives of
various international
Jewish organizations.
Aliya sources claim that
the high number of drop-
outs reflects deliberate
Soviet Policy to grant exit
visas to Jews with the least
Jewish identity in order to
increase the drop-out fi-
gure and discredit the im-
migration movement.
The Jewish Agency also
disclosed that over-all
immigration in October
amounted to 1,616, down
by 300 from the Sep-
tember figure. October
saw a substantial de-
crease in aliya from all
regions except Latin
American and Western
Europe.

Organizational Commit-
tee in Behalf of Soviet
Jewish Emigration said
"I am appalled by the un-
true reports appearing in
certain newspapers
suggesting that a rift has
occurred between the
American Jewish com-
munity and the Israeli
authorities concerned
with immigration on fu-
ture policy relating to the
emigration of Soviet
Jews. This is without
foundation, it is totally
untrue, and is evidently
inspired by elements in-
tent on wrecking the cur-
rent joint consultations
between the leadership of
the American Jewish
philanthropic and service
organizations and the Is-
raeli authorities con-
cerned.
"These consultations
throughout have the
single purpose of
maximizing the emigra-
tion of Soviet Jews to Is-
rael and to other coun-
tries of their choice."
Fisher added that it
was "completely errone-
ous" to assert that there
was a unilateral Israeli
campaign "as certain
newspaper reports have
suggested."
