Several of the resolutions ask President Jimmy Carter
to continue to use his influence with the Soviet Union on
thiS question.
The rally program will include music and a short ad-
dress by Ninel Maizel, a Russian-Jewish folksinger who im-
migrated to the U.S. in January with her husband and 11-
year-old son. The family lives in Oak ' Park.
John Shepherd, president of the Jewish Community Coun-
cil, will convene the gathering and state Rep. Joseph
Forbes will present a state proclamation.
The world solidarity day events were sparked by the re-
cent increase in Soviet harrassment and oppression of Jew-
ish dissidents in advance of an international review of com-
pliance with the Helsinki accords, to be held in Belgrade
beginning this month.
Most of the eight Jewish activists who had established a
committee to monitor the Soviets' compliance with the Hel-
sinki accords have been imprisoned. In the latest incident,
Anatoly Sharansky was arrested June 1 and charged with
treason and being a spy for the U.S. Central Intelligence
Agency.
The social action committee of Cong. Shaarey Zedek
sent more than 200 mailograms to President Carter protest-
ing the Soviet action and sent letters to Senator Donald
Riegle and Rep. Brodhead.
In Washington, Bnai Brith urged the U.S. to denounce
the USSR accusation against Sharansky and do all it could
to prevent his trial "on palpably false charges."
The U.S. State Department said that it was "deeply con-
cerned" about Sharansky.
Department officials said that Secretary of State Cyrus
Vance has raised the issue of Sharansky with Soviet author-
ities at "a very senior level." The Department said "our
concern" has been made known to the Soviets "through
diplomatic channels."
It was indicated that the U.S. has been in contact with
Soviet authorities about Sharansky since the 29-year-old
computer specialist was arrested in Moscow March 15
shortly after an Izvestia article accused him of working
for the CIA.
Sharansky was linked at the time with two officials at
the American Embassy in Moscow, both Jews. They are
Joseph Presel, a career foreign service officer who is a
First Secretary at the Embassy and Melvin Levitsky, Pre-
sel's predecessor who is now in Washington. Trattner, re-
sponding to questions, said that "if charges should be
made against our employes, they will be dealt with as they
arise "
Meanwhile, 24 Congressmen have signed a letter
drafted by Rep. Sidney Yates (D411.) to Soviet Communist
Party Secretary Leonid Brezhnev protesting "in the strong-
est possible terms" the moves to put Sharansky on trial
for treason.
The letter said "better cooperation between our govern-
ments will be fostered" if Sharansky is allowed to emi-

CHICAGO—Spertus Col-
lege of Judaica, will hold
its 49th commencement
exercises Sunday. The Col-
lege will be conferring hon-
orary degrees of Doctor of
Hebrew Letters on David
Graubart, Bert B. Weins-
tein and Jacob R. Marcus
at the ceremony. -
Jacob Rader Marcus is di-

ish Archives and Distin-
guished Service Professor
of American Jewish History
at Hebrew Union College—
Jewish Institute in Cincin-
nati. Marcus has achieved
international acclaim for

his written works. He will

ceiving his honorary de-
gree.

grate to Israel. Sharansky's wife is already in Israel
where she was allowed to emigrate immediately after the
couple was married.
In New York Wednesday, 14 rabbis were arrested after
chaining themselves to the fence of the Soviet UN Mission
as a protest.
The situation of Russian Jews was discussed by Israel's
Cabinet on Sunday and the Cabinet called on governments,
international institutions and world famous personalities to
intervene on behalf of activists who have been tried and
sentenced on false charges and those facing trial. Premier
Yitzhak Rabin announced that the government was protest-
ing to the Soviet authorities.
The Cabinet heard a report of the recent trial of Iosif
Begun who was sentenced to two years in exile within the
USSR and the pending treason trial of Sharansky. It was
noted that these events coincided with attacks on Jewish
activists and the aliya movement in the Soviet press .
Meanwhile, the Weizmann Institue of Science has taken
up the cause of Dr. Oleg Milstein, 45, a Riga mic -
biologist who has been repeatedly denied an exit visa
spurious grounds that he is privy to classified information.
An Israeli friend of Milstein, Emanuel Yacobson, a doc-
toral candidate at the Weizmann Institute, has launched a
campaign to enlist scientists throughout the free world to
take up Milstein's cause.
Milstein already has been elected a member of the Is-
raeli Biochemical Association and the American Society of
Microbiologists. A number of Nobel Laureates, including
David Baltimore, Baruch Blumberg, Arthur Korenberg
and Paul Berg have written to Kremlin leaders.
In Washington last weekend, members of Congress and
trial lawyer Edward Bennett Williams said the Soviets can
not stop international criticism of their human rights poli-
cies by arresting more Societ dissidents.
Williams said he had been asked by exiled Russian au-
thor Alexandr Solzhenitsyn to defend Alexander Ginzburg,
another member of the eight-man Helsinki monitoring com-
mittee. Ginzburg, who has served seven years in prison for
criticizing the Kremlin leadership, has been held without
being charged since Feb. 3.
Williams said Soviet Ambassador Anatoly Dobrynin re-
jected his request for a visa so that he could visit Gin-
zburg in Moscow.
