Called 'Anti-Semitic' by Soviet Jews
JERUSALEM (JTA) —
Death sentences imposed
earlier this month by a Uk-
rainian court in Donetsk on
four Georgian Jews was
ti
clearly an act of anti-
Semitism, a spokesman for
the "Shomer Achi Anochi"
(I Am My Brother's Keeper)
said in Jerusalem.
- The four condemned men
were among 56 persons,
non-Jews and Jews, who
worked in a textile factory
near Baku on the Caspian
Sea. They were tried on a

Lea Slovin, a Russian
immigrant lawyer, told a

Jerusalem that this was not
merely an "economic
crimes" trial but one aimed
directly at Jews. Non-Jews
in the trial who were ac-
cused of the same charge re-
ceived sentences of 10 or 15

In New York the Stu-
dent Struggle for Soviet
Jewry and the Union of
Councils for Soviet Jews
reported that Sender
Levenson, a 30-year-old
prisoner of conscience
who was serving a six-
year term, has been re-
leased from a labor camp
after half his sentence
was completed.
Meanwhile, Soviet dissi-
dent leader Andrei
Sakharov said recently he
does not believe Western
nations should boycott the
1980 Moscow Olympics to
protest alleged human
rights violations in his na-
tion. He suggested that each
national team "adopt one
political prisoner" to help
publicize the situation.
In a related development,
Moscow attacked Sen. Ed-
ward-Kennedy last week for
hinting that his recent trip

Differences
Ironed Out
JERUSALEM (JTA) —
Prof. Raanan Weitz and
Matityahu Drobless, the
co-chairmen of the World
Zionist Organization's- set-
tlement department, have
reached an agreement on
the division of authority be-
tween them and will coop-
rate despite their political
ifferences.
The differences became
apparent last month when
Weitz published proposals
favoring the eventual estab-
lishment of a Palestinian
state alongside Israel.
Drobless, a member of
Likud, took strong excep-

Pravda suggested that

His wife, Dr. Alla Drugova,

the conditions of the prison,
where dissident Anatoly
Shcharansky is interned.
