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- FRANKLIN MEDICAL PHARMACY SURGICAL SUPPLY INC. 26206 W. 12 MILE RD. Just E.

David Graubart is Associ- ate Professor of Talmud at Spertus and the presiding rabbi of the regional Beth Din of the Conservative movement.

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. * * * NEW YORK (JTA)—Ac- band's six-year request to cording to reports reaching emigrate. the National Conference on Soviet Jewry (NCSJ), long- time Soviet Jewish activist Mikhail Mager of Vinnitsa has received an exit permit to Israel.
