is brought to trial on
charges of treason and alle-
gations that he was a CIA
agent which President Car-
ter has flatly denied.
The Senators issued their
warning at a press confer-
ence marking the formation
of a New York Committee
to Free Anatoly Sharansky
by the Greater New York
Conference on Soviet Jewry
(GNYCSJ).
Sharansky has been held
incommunicado in Mos-
cow's Lefortovo prison since
his arrest last March 15.
Moynihan charged that his
,arrest and possible trial for
treason was "an act of
aggression" against the
U.S.
"They (the Soviets) can
feed themselves next winter
if they lay a hand on Ana-
toly Sharansky," Moynihan
warned. Asked if he meant
that the Carter Adminis-
ttation would rescind its
grain sales deal, the Senator
replied "Yes."
Javits was more cautious.
He said there was a linkage
between the treatment of
Sharansky and U.S.-Soviet
relations and that could lead
to a cut-off of the grain sale.
He added, however, that
"this will take an executive
decision by the President. I
can't foretell what that
decision would be and I'd
prefer not to answer that
now. We pray that the
Soviets will draw back from
the brink."
Meanwhile, Aleksandr Sle-
pak, son of Soviet Jewish
refuseniks Valdimir and
Maria Slepak, has arrived
in the United States to
speak on behalf of his fam-
ily and other Soviet Jewish
activists still in the USSR,
under the auspices of the
National Conference on
Soviet Jewry.
The 25-year-old son, has
served various prison sen-
tences in the USSR, for emi-
gration related activities

On behalf of the Slepaks
Sen. Henry Jackson sent a
personal cable to Leonid
Brezhnev asking him on
humanitarian and family
reunion grounds to permit
the family to emigrate to
Israel.
In a related development
refusenik Lev Forman
staged a seven-day hunger
strike to protest his being
denied permission by the
Soviet government to join
his wife in Jerusalem.
It also was reported that
Eitan Finkelstein, a key
Russian Jewish activist, has
been under house-arrest
according to Al Tidom Asso-
ciation sources in Vilnius,
USSR.
Finkelstein has been
denied permission to emi-
grate to Israel with his fam-
ily since 1973.
Meanwhile, Alexander
Maryasin, a leading Riga
Jewish activist, has
received an exit visa,
according to Action for
Soviet Jewry, a Boston
group.
The National Conference
on Soviet Jewry has learned
that Soviet Jewish prisoner
of conscience Alexander Sil-
nitsky was released from
prison the end of October.
WASHINGTON (JTA)—
Vice President Walter Mon-
dale said that imprisoned
Soviet Jewish activist Ana-
toly Sharansky and Soviet
dissident Andrei Sakharov
should be considered as
among the 36 righteous men
Jewish legend says must be
alive in order for the world
to survive.
Mondale made this state-
ment to the 600 delegates to
the Bnai Brith Anti-Defama-
tion League annual meeting
in Washington -after the
closing session heard a sob-
bing Natalia Sharansky
plead, "Mr. Vice President,
friends, help me to win my
husband's freedom."
Mrs. Sharansky, who had
to leave the Soviet Union a
day after she married Sha-
ransky, received a standing
ovation led by Mondale
after she declared that she
wants "only for my husband
and me to be in Jerusalem
to begin our Jewish
family."
Responding at the cere- -
mony at which Sharansky
and Sakharov, a Nobel lau-
reate, were awarded in
absentia the ADL's annual
Joseph Prize for Human
Rights. Mondale promised
that he would "personally
report" to President Carter
on Mrs. Sharansky's appeal.
Sharansky has been impris-
oned since March and it is
feared he may be brought to
trial soon on charges of
treason. The Joseph Prize
consists of $5,000 plus a
medal.
