NEW YORK (JTA) — A
State Department spokes-
woman on Tuesday sought
to ressure concerned
American Jews that the
Carter Administration is
doing everything in its
power to safeguard the fun-
damental human rights of
Soviet Jews.
Addressing the board of
governors of the National
Conference on Soviet

Jewry, Patricia Derian, as-
sistant secretary of state for
humanitarian affairs, said
"We're committed to the
ability of Russian Jews to
leave the Soviet Union
without harrassment." She
denounced the recent sen-
tencing to internal exile of
activists Vladimir Slepak
and Ida Nudel, as well as
the impending trials of
Anatoly Shcharansky and
Alexander Ginzburg, not-
ing that these Soviet viola-
tions of the Helsinki Accord
"show disrespect for inter-
national standards of
human rights."
She praised the individu-
als involved in the Helsinki
monitoring group in the
Soviet Union for defying the
"unrelenting pressure of the
Soviet state," and urged the
NCSJ to continue its dili-
gent efforts on behalf of
Soviet Jews.
Derian noted that the
apparent contradiction
between the recent
Soviet crackdown on dis-
sidents and the 60 per-
cent increase over last
year in the number of exit
permits granted by the
government to Russian
Jews must be viewed in
light of the confusion
surrounding Soviet-
American relations in re-
cent months. "The sig-
nals from Moscow are
unclear and erratic," she
said. "We are unable to
read them." Despite this
confusion, Derian as-
serted, "We must con-
tinue to let them (the
Soviets) know that their
conduct is a matter of in-
ternational concern."
Responding to the ques-
tion of whether the Na-
tional Security Council is
considering the use of in-
tensified trade leverage
against the Soviet Union to
protest its human rights
violations, Derian said that
no policy decision has been
reached on this issue as yet.

Derian also pointed out
that the State Department
has strongly condemned
violations of human rights
and manifestations of
anti-Semitism in Argen-
tina. In opposition to recent
actions of the Argentinian
government, the Carter
Administration has denied
the export of weapons and
other military assistance to
that country.
Brooklyn District Attor-
ney Eugene Gold was re-
elected to his third term as
chairman of the NCSJ and
denounced the Soviet perse-
cution of Nudel and Slepak.
The State Department
last week called the
punishment of the two
activists "unduly harsh"
and said it would press
the Soviets to allow the
two to emigrate.
Jewish leaders through-
out the U.S. denounced the
trials. Large crowds on Wall
St. in New York attended a
noon rally for the two pris-
oners last week. In Denver,
the Colorado Committee of
Concern cabled the U.S.
Olympic Committee to not
permit the Soviet Union to
mask its human rights
abuses with visits by

American athletes.
The committee referred to
the recent Moscow visit of
former heavyweight boxing
champion Mohammed Ali.
More than 200 members
of the Montreal Jewish
community demonstrated
outside the Soviet consulate
to protest the trials.
The Israeli Knesset
demanded that the Soviet
Union release all "Pris-
oners of Conscience" and
allow them to emigrate to
Israel and to cease
harassment of Jews who
wish to lead "a full
Jewish life."
The Knesset also will ask
the Foreign Ministry to re-
quest an International Red
Cross investigation of the
helath of Jewish POCs.
Meanwhile, Soviet
Jewish activist losif Begun
was expected to be tried this
week for not having an in-
ternal passport.
At the same time, Sen.
Henry Jackson (D-Wash.)
and seven other senators
have proposed a resolution
supporting the nomination
of the dissidents monitoring
the Soviets' compliance
with the Helsinki Accords
for the Nobel Peace Prize.

Italian Jewry Wins Decision
on Minority Religious Rights

ROME (JTA) — Italian
Senator Guido Gonella has
told the 10th National Con-
gress of Jewish Com-
munities that "a great part"
of their protests about rela-
tions between Italy and
minority religions has been
accepted. Gonella heads the
government commission for
revising the 1929 concordat
between Italy and the Vati-
can and for reaching an
"understanding" with other
"confessions."

The Union for Italian
Jewish Communities in the
autumn of 1976 handed the
government a memoran-
dum sharply criticizing the
Lateran pacts between Italy
and the Vatican drawn up
by the late Fascist dictator
Benito Mussolini.

The protests centered
on the description of
Roman Catholicism as

Three El Fatah
Terrorists Nabbed

TEL AVIV (JTA) — Sec-
urity forces have ap-
prehended three El Fatah
terrorists believed to be re-
sponsible for the fatal stab-
bing of an Israeli bus driver
on the West Bank last Jan.
29.
The victim, Mordechai
Yekuel, 27, was assaulted
near Nebi Salah while on
his way to pick up Arab
laborers for work in Israel.
A security spokesman
said the same terrorists are
suspected of several other
acts, including placing a
bomb at the Ramallah
police station in May 1977.
They led police to a large
cache of explosives.

"the state religion" mar-
riage, education and the -
Jewish catacombs in
Rome. Sen. Gonella said
most of the Jewish ob-
servations had been ac-
cepted by his commission
and had been omitted
from the new draft con-
cordat.
The new draft, to be sub-
mitted to the Senate, omits
the description of Catholi-
cism as the state religion.
Italian Jews are being given
back control of the Jewish
catacombs previously held
by the Vatican and several
points regarding marriage
and education had been ac-
cepted, said Gonella.
