In Moscow, 25 lawyers
have turned down Sha-
ransky's family's request to
represent him at his ex-
pected "treason" trial, after
his mother was told by the
KGB that representation by
volunteer French lawyers
was not acceptable and she
must find a Russian at-
torney.
The SSSJ and UCSJ have
also learned that seven Le-
ningrad restaurants turned
down requests by a group of
Jewish activists to hold a
party in honor of Hanuka.
In a related development,
World Solidarity Week for
Soviet Jewry was marked
by various events in at least
66 cities in the United States
alone, it was reported by
Jacqueline K. Levine, chair-
person of the Commission
on International Concern of
the National Jewish Com-
munity Relations Advisory
Council (NJCRAC) which
coordinated the nationwide
observance in accordance
with plans developed by the
National Conference on So-
viet Jewry (NCSJ).
The official national open-
ing event of Solidarity Week
took place in Washington on
Dec. 5 with a candle-lighting
at an open air ceremony
opposite the Soviet Em-
bassy. It concluded Sunday
with "Women's Plea for So-
viet Jewry" meetings in
Chicago and New York,
'among other cities.
In Washington, the Soviet
Embassy accepted a "state-

Though making the stand-
ard disclaimer that most
Soviet Jews are "sincere
patriots of the motherland,"
the groups said that - the
clearly Stalinist tone of the
article puts every Jew -i
the USSR under suspicion
and sets the stage for a
'treason' trial of Anatoly
Sharansky as it concludes
with the call for 'each So-
viet person to display the
greatest vigilance against
the intrigues of our class
enemy.' "

NEW YORK (JTA)—The
Soviet Jewry Research Bu-
reau, of the National Con-
ference on Soviet Jewry re-
ported that the number of
Soviet Jews emigrating
from the USSR from Janu-
ary-November 1977 sur-
passes the number of Jews
allowed to leave in 1976.
Charlotte Jacobson, bu-
reau chairperson, an-
nounced that from January-
November 1977, 14, 1978 So-
viet Jews have emigrated to
Israel and elsewhere while
the total allowed to leave in
1976 was 14,213.
At the same time, Prof.
Benjamin G. Levich, said
that it was wishful thinking
to attribute a rise in Jewish
emigration to a change in
Soviet policy.
Dr. Levich spoke to West-
ern reporters about state-
ments by President Carter,
Secretary of State Cyrus R.
Vance and others approving
a reported increase of 22
percent in the number of
Jews being allowed to leave
the Soviet Union this year.
The 22 percent increase
still represented a tiny pro-
portion of the number of
would-be emigrants, he
said, and would not even
bring the year's total to the
1973 level.

day. A military spokesman
said that the patrol suffered
no injuries.
The firing came from the
Lebanese village of Bint
Jibal. The patrol returned
fire and Israel artillery lat-
er shelled the retreat route
of the attackers deeper in-
side Lebanon.
Meanwhile, eight terrorist
suspects were arrested in

rusalem recently, security
