Reports from Moscow said the courtroom where the trial was to have taken place May 6' was open to the public. In a related development, Fred Coleman reported in Newsweek Magazine on stepped-up harassment of Soviet Jews by the Krem- lin. He stated in part: "Since February, the dis- sident committee set up in Moscow to monitor Soviet compliance with the human-rights provisions of the 1975 Helsinki accord has been decimated by ar- rest, illness and forced emi- gration. "To what extent Soviet anger over Carter's human- right pronouncements may have led to the crackdown On dissidents remains, un- clear.

"Many diplomats in Mos- cow believe the Soviet crackdown was designed as an object lesson to Poland, Czechoslovakia, East Ger- many and Romania, where dissidents pose more of a threat to Communist re- gimes than they do in Rus- sia. `-`The Kremlin went a long way toward silencing 'dissent when it ordered the arrests of three founders of the Helsinki group: Aleksandr Ginzburg, 40, and Yuri Orlov, 53, in Feb- ruary and Anatoly Sha- ransky, 29, in March." At the United .Nations, Is- rael appealed to the Soviet Union "for a gesture of good will, to release those imprisoned and to permit those many . other Jews whose only'. desire, after years of waiting, is to be re- patriated to their homeland andunited with their fam- ilies.''

The Russian said Herzog's speech was con- trary to the "rules" and "not relevant" However, Ambassador Ole Adgard of, Norway, who was chairing the session, ruled that Her- zog was speaking "to the point." The Israeli envoy continued with his speech. In Washington, Congress- man Dale E. Kildee (D- Flint) is taking a leading role in the .Congress in speaking out for the cause of human rights for Jews in the 'Soviet Union. Kildee is a co-sponsor of two House concurrent reso- - lutions which would put the Congress on record as ask- ing the Soviet government to adhere to the principles of the Helsinki agreement.

Carter-Assad Meeting Differed From Other Talks on Mideast GENEVA (JTA)—Presi- dent Carter's 3'/2-hour meet- ing with President Hafez Assad of Syria in Geneva differed markedly from his earlier meetings with Middle Eastern leaders in that concrete matters were discussed. According to Zbigniew Brzezinski, chairman of the National Security Council, who participated in the meeting, the two presidents discussed the possibility of setting up demilitarized zones on both sides of the Is- raeli-Syrian border and the use of sophisticated, elec- tronic advance warning sys- tems such as those cur- rently operated by Ameri- cans, Israelis and Egyp- . tians in Sinai. , Such details are not known to have been dis- cussed at Carter's meetings with Israeli Premier Yitz- hak Rabin and President Anwar Sadat of Egypt last month or with King Hussein of Jordan who visited the White House earlier this - month. According to Brzezinski, Carter and Assad discussed the nature of peace in the Mideast, borders, security and the Palestinian issue in its immediate ramifications which concern Palestinian representation at a recon- vened Geneva conference and in a broader sense ap- parently meaning a Palesti- nian homeland. yrian sources said Assad stressed that a speedy solution must be found for the Middle East conflict and that the Gen- eva conference was the last hope.
