Anatoly Shcharansky Nixes Court-Appointed
Lawyer, Asks Family to Appoint Counsel
LONDON — Imprisoned
Soviet Jewish dissident,
Anatoly Shcharansky,
jailed on a charge of spying
for the CIA, has reportedly
rejected the defense lawyer
that authorities appOinted
for him.
According to the New
York Times, a member of
the human rights monitor-
ing group with which
Shcharansky was involved,
Sofiya Kalistratove, said
that Shcharansky was in-
sisting that his family be al-
lowed to choose his lawyer.
In Atlanta, the House of
Representatives of Geor-
gia's state legislature has
adopted a resolution com-
mending Shcharansky "for
his courageous stand on
human rights within the
Soviet Union and hereby
urge the Soviet government
to allow • Shcharansky to
leave the Soviet Union."

House members to join
him in a series of daily
floor speeches to call at-
tention to the plight of
Soviet Jews who have at-
tempted to emigrate from
Russia.
Each week for the next
several months, members
will lead off House sessions
by giving brief speeches
about particular individu-
als and families who have
attempted to leave Russia.
Brodhead also inserted a
proclamation offered by
Rabbi Seymour Rosenbloom
of Adat Shalom Synagogue
into the Congressional Re-
cord of March 9 in which the
synagogue's solidarity with
the Shcharanskys is stated.
The proclamation, made on
the occasion of Mrs.
Shcharansky's visit to De-
troit during her U.S. tour to
seek help to gain her hus-
band's release, offers mem-
bership to the couple and
urges the Soviets to release
the jailed dissident so that
he may be reunited with his
family.
In New York, it was re-
ported that thousands of
Jews and non-Jews, includ-
ing civic leaders, local and
national legislators, par-
ticipated in rallies, meet-
ings and hunger strikes ac-
ross the country to mark the
first anniversary of the ar-
rest of Shcharansky and his
continued incarceration in
Moscow's notorious Lefor-
tovo Prison. Similar ac-
tivities were held in
Canada, West Europe and
in Israel.
At the same time, some
140 Jewish activists ac-
ross the Soviet Union is-
sued a dramatic appeal
declaring a hunger strike
to observe "the tragic
anniversary."
In New York, after
hunger strikes on more
than 20 campuses in the
metropolitan area, hun-

supporters gathered at the

Best Jewish Players Named
After '78 Basketball Season
By HASKELL COHEN
(Copyright 1978, JTA-, Inc.)
Were it not for the fact
that tradition calls for it and
the time is here, we would
not attempt to pick our an-
nual All-American Jewish
basketball team. The fact
remains that this past year
the Jewish playing person-
nel in college diminished in
quality and quantity.
The bulk of the team is
comprised of players who
represented the United
States in the 1977 Maccabia
Games in Israel.
Perhaps the most out-
standing player on the
squad is Joel Kramer of San
Diego State. Joel finished
the season with approxi-
mately a 14.0 scoring aver-
age and with 10 rebounds
was
per game. He
thoroughly scouted by the
NBA and a veteran birddog
for a Western pro team ad-
vised us Kramer will be
picked up by the NBA
around the third round of
the draft.
Based on what we saw
of him in the past Mac-
cabia Games, we would

be inclined to predict he
is not of NBA quality. He
would do much better to
catch on with a foreign
team, preferably one in
Israel.
Also on the team is
freshman Mike Kosterlitz, a
6'6" power forward from
Bentley College in New En-
gland. In his freshman year
Kosterlitz has shown
enough skill in shooting and
around the boards to indi-
cate he will be a prime can-
didate for the 1981 U.S.
Maccabia hoop squad.
At the center position
there are two candidates.
We are inclined to go along
with the senior over the
freshman, so consequently,
we give the nod to Howard
Lasoff of American Univer-
sity over Dan Schayes. The
6'11" Schayes, who saw con-
siderable action with Syra-
cuse University, did not get
as much playing time as
Lasoff and did not score as
much as the senior from
Washington.
The guard posts go to Hal
Cohen of Syracuse and Glen
Fine of Harvard. Cohen was
the sparkplug for the U.S.
Maccabia team. He came off
the bench, repeatedly, this
season for the Syracuse
University five, who
finished very high in the na-
tional ratings. By the con-
clusion of the season, he was
playing regularly and for
the next two years should
serve as a playmaker on the
Big Orange team.
Fine, a smart ball handler
and a good shooter, exe-
cuted well for Harvard.
Rounding out the sec-
ond team unit, in the
forecourt, is John Lewis
of Princeton and Lou
Cohen of California
State, Obispo.
In the backcourt, we go
with Glen Consor of Boston
University and Larry Lubin
of University of Illinois.
