THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS Soviet Envoy Rejects Appeal for Sharansky WASHINGTON (JTA )— The Soviet Embassy re- fused to accept a letter from Mrs. Anatoly Sha- ransky pleading for the re- lease of her imprisoned hus- band. The letter, delivered by three leading members of Congress, was addressed to Soviet leader Leonid Brezh- nev and asked that Sha- ransky, who is facing trea- son charges, be released d. allowed to emigrate to 111.1 1. ael. Reps. John Anderson (R.411.), Robert Drinan (D.-Mass.) and Benjamin Rosenthal (D .-N. Y. ) handed the letter on behalf of the Jewish dissident to Em- bassy Counsellor Viktor Sa- kovich. The Congressmen are members of the Inter- national Committee for the release of Anatoly Sha- ransky. Drinan is chairman of the American branch which includes 30 Congress- men and six Senators. In San Francisco, 10 rabbis and a Presbyterian minister were among 13 per- sons arrested last week after they chained them- selves to the gate of the So- viet Consulate during a "FIRST FOR A REASON" AL KLINE • DALGLEISH CADILLAC 6160 CASS AVE. TR 5-0300 demonstration for Sha- ransky. A world-wide appeal for the release of Sharansky has been issued by the Union of Councils for Soviet Jewry. In Paris, French Foreign Minister Louis de Guiri- ngaud has told Parliament that his government will act on behalf of human rights in the Soviet Union, but said that any such ac- tion "will have to be dis- creet if it should be effec- tive." Meanwhile, Israel Presi- dent Ephraim Katzir pledged that his country will never stop fighting for the right of Jews to emi- grate from the Soviet Union. Israelis view the granting of an exit visa to Moscow activist Mark Azbel, as a So- viet ploy aimed to coincide with the opening of the 35- nation conference in Bel- grade on compliance with the 1974 Helsinki agree- ment. In a related development, the White House said that neither Amy Carter nor any other member of the Presi- dent's.family had written a letter to one of the children of Dr. Mikhail Stern, the So- viet Jewish physician who was released from a Rus- sian prison last March and permitted to emigrate. The statement was in re- sponse to a flood of queries this week after a Paris newspaper quoted Stern as saying that during his im- prisonment one of his chil- dren had received a "warm and encouraging , letter" from Amy Carter, the nine- year-old daughter of the President,. A spokesperson for Mrs. Carter said the First Lady had asked Amy if she wrote the letter and Amy said "no." In London, the leader of an international group of Jewish women expelled from Yugoslavia claimed that their trip there had been successful even though they had been pre- vented from holding a si- lent demonstration for So- viet Jewry outside the con- ference on European Secu- WEIGHT REDUCTION.- LIQUID PROTEIN RESIDENTIAL SUMMER PROGRAM.

Mrs. Doreen Gainsford, chairman of the Women's Campaign for Soviet Jewry, said that the women, who had come to Belgrade from 12 Western countries, had' all contacted their coun- tries' delegations there and asked them to raise the plight of Soviet Jewry dur- ing the forthcoming review of the 1975 Helsinki agree- ment. It was learned, mean- while, that four Michigan Congressmen were among 71 of their peers who signed a letter urging delegates to the Belgrade Review Con- ference to insist upon a for- mal discussion of efforts to monitor governmental com- pliance with the provisions of Helsinki." Signatories in- cluded William Brodhead, James J. Blanchard, Wil- liam S. Broomfield and Dale E. Kildee. In Washington, Congres- sional sources expressed "shock" at Secretary of State Cyrus Vance's re- mark that Congress is re- sponsible for lessening So- viet-American trade be- cause of the Jackson-Vanik provisions in the U.S. Trade Act. • Vance told reporters upon ending a three-day visit to the Organization of Ameri- can States General Asse- mbly in St. George's, Gre- nada, that he expects trade next year will be "sub- stantially less" than this year and "one, of the fac- tors that affects this,, of course, is the question of most-favored-nation treat- ment to the Soviet Union?' Under questioning from reporters in Washington, State Department spokes- man John Trattner said "the important point is that it is up to the Soviet Union to move to improve the cli- mate surrounding the Jack- son-Vanik amendment and I think the future of that cli- mate is up to them." Meanwhile, Soviet For- eign Trade Minister Nikolai S. Patolichev launched a ti- rade of abuse against the United States • and Jews after he was told at a. pri- vate luncheon meeting with top American officials here that the U.S. would not alter the Jackson-Vanik Amendment to the Foreign Trade Act until after the So- viet Union relaxed its re- strictions on Jewish emigra- tion. Patolichev shouted his de- nunciations, waved his fists and pointed fingers in a con- frontation with Sen. Abra- ham Ribicoff (D.-Conn.) who also had told him that emigration, trade and nucle- ar proliferation are "in- extricably tied together" in Soviet-American relations. The Americans recoled in dismay at the minister's se- vere reaction to Ribicoff's view and described the Rus- sian's demonstration as a "Kruschev-like" act. It was also described as a "rela- tively standard Russian means of showing dis- pleasure through shock tac- tics." Ribicoff, chairman of the Senate Finance Committee on Trade recommended that Soviet Communist Party Secretary Leonid Soviet Physician Sparks Protest Priests, nuns, rabbis and laymen joined in a demon- stration Wednesday at Kingsley Inn in Bloomfield Hills to protest the Soviet practice of interning politi- al prisoners in mental in- stitutions, and the arrival of Soviet physician Dr. Marat Vartanian, who was to be the featured speaker at a day-long seminar for psy- chiatrists, neurologists and physicians interested in biochemical aspects of psy- chiatry at St. Joseph Mercy Hospital in Pontiac. The protest was spon- sored by the Flint Interfaith Alliance in conjunction with the Flint Jewish Commu- nity Council and the Jewish Community Council of Met- ropolitan Detroit. Brezhnev and President Carter meet to solve -the problems of emigration, trade and nuclear pro- liferation. Patolichev de- clared that "provocateurs" are using the emigration issue to stifle Soviet-Ameri- can relations. He shouted that "all you are concerned about is Jews." He de- clared "We don't want your trade—we can live without it. Friday, June 24, 1977 15 HAVE. AI AFFAIR WITH HAL •GORDON nt!
