The Rev. John F. Stein- bruck, pastor of the Luther Place Memorial Lutheran Church and a leader of the National Interreligious Task Force on Soviet Jewry, announced that since obser- vant Jews do not travel on Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur, Christians will stand the quiet watch at the daily vigil opposite the Embassy and sound the shofar. In this manner, Stein- bruck said, solidarity will be expressed with oppressed Soviet Jews and Christians. The vigil is now in its eighth year. Meanwhile, a group of recently arrived refugees from the Soviet Union will celebrate their first Sukkot as free Jews in a historic American setting: a syna- gogue which used to be an old Quaker meeting house, now designated a New York landmark. Before the Civil War the Brotherhood Synagogue, at 144 E. 20th St., was a link in the "underground rail- road"—the secret system which helped runaway slaves from the South to reach freedom. This year Russian-Jewish refugees will celebrate their newly attained freedom in that building. And, for the first time in their lives, they will participate in decorating a sukka. 'NYANA, the New York Association for New Ameri- cans, the settlement agency for Jewish immigrants in the Greater New York area, Journalist Ordered Dayan's Son Calls to Stop Accusing Begin a Danger Nazi in Newspaper AMSTERDAM (JTA)— The Amsterdam Higher Dis- trict Court; reversing the decision of the president of the Amsterdam Lower Court of last June, has ordered that the Jewish journalist, Hans Knoop, and the weekly of which he is editor, "Accent," must stop publishing charges against Pieter Menten until it will have been proved as the result of the criminal trial now being conducted against him that these charges are true. The editor of Knoop's book on the Menten affair must also cease distributing this book since it contains unproven accusations. the court ruled. Menten must no longer be called "war crim- inal" or "mass murderer" or "scoundrel." The court also ordered they must refrain from accusation that has not been included in the charge sheet. Knoop and the pub- lisher of "Accent" will now appeal to the High Court of Justice. AMSTERDAM (JTA)— Asaf Dayan, an Israeli film actor and son of Foreign Minister Moshe Dayan, de- nounced Premier Menahem Begin and the present Likud government as "dan- gerous for Israel." The actor, who is in Hol- land to film "The Uranium Conspiracy" in which he plays the leading role as an Israeli secret agent, said he is "afraid of men who trust only in,God and not in them- selves. It is too absurd that only the present armed peace is envisaged, where- as our alternative, namely, striving for a secure peace, is swept under the table."
