Leaders of Soviet Jewry Group
Oppose Change of Olympics Site
LONDON (JTA) — Lead-
ers of the World Conference
of Soviet Jewry, the um-
brella movement for cam-
paigns in different coun-
tries, said here that they did
not support calls to transfer
the 1980 Olympic Games
from Moscow and that they
wanted to attend the games
themselves.
job The statement was made
Mrollowing the biannual
meeting of the presidium of
the conference at which
there had been sharp di-
visions on this issue. Mem-
bers of the British Women's
Campaign for Soviet Jewry
have been calling for the
transfer of the games to an-
other venue because of
Soviet suppression of
human rights.
Leon bulzin, the Jewish
Agency chairman who
presided at the three-day
meeting attended by 60
delegates, told journalists
that the presidium\did not
believe in the campaign to
boycott the Olympics. In-
stead, they should insist on
the Soviet Union strictly
observing the regulations of
the International Olympic
Committee regarding the
admission and treatment of
all participants.
June Jacobs, chairman-
of Britain's National .
Soviet Jewry. Council,
said the presence of the
Israeli athletes in Mos-
cow would give great
encouragement to Soviet
Jewry. She and other
members of the
Presidium wanted to be
there as well. However,
the threat of a world-
wide - Olympics boycott
might be used as a bar-
gaining counter to secure
the release of some of the
800 hard-core refusniks,
she added.
Dulzin told the press con-
ference that he was alarmed
at what he called the "big
rise" of Soviet anti-Semitic
literature, films and televi-
sion programs. It was an-
nounced that the Confer-
ence would shortly publish
a Blue Book documenting
the growing anti-Semitism
of the Soviet media.
In Washington, a move to
ban the use of federal funds
in support of the U.S. team
if it participates in the
Olympic Games in Moscow
in 1980 was easily defeated
in the House Judiciary
Committee. But its propo-
nents will seek to have their
views incorporated in the
coming soon

measure when the full
House acts on it.
Rep. Robert Drinan (D-
Mass.) sought to amend the
legislation that would pro-
hibit the use of the $30 mil-
lion authorized by the
Amateur Sports Act. The
committee rejected his mo-
tion 24-4. Drinan was
backed by Reps. Hamilton
Fish (R-N.Y.), John Con-
yers (D-Mich.) and Barbara
Jordan (D-Tex.).
Supporters of the fund-
ing sought -to have the
House vote on the meas-
ure ahead of schedule in
these closing days of the
Congressional session.
But the chamber rejected
a move for suspension of
its rules. However, it-is
expected that the House
will adopt it. The Senate
passed the measure May
8.
Drinan, who is also the
author of a resolution which
seeks to shift the Olympics
from Moscow because of the
Soviet Union's "persistent
human rights violations,"
told the committee he
feared the Soviet Union
would "sweep the streets" of
all dissident activity before
and during the Olympics
just as the USSR did during
the visit by former
President Nixon in 1972.
He also pointed out there
is no guarantee at present
that Israeli athletes in the
1980 Olympics will receive
"the protection they need."

Israelis Occupy
Old Synagogue
JERUSALEM (JTA) —
Several dozens of Kiryat
Arba residents Wednesday
occupied the old synagogue
inside the neighboring Arab
town of Hebron.
The group demanded that
the government reconstruct
the antique synagogue, as
had been promied in the
past. The Jewish residents
of ,Kiryat Arba have often
demanded that Israel popu-.
late with Jews the town of
Hebron, but this demand
has consistently been re-
jected. Hebron had a Jewish
community until 1929,
when most of the local Jews
were massacred.
The army reportedly
encircled the occupied
synagogue, apparently
with the intention to
evacuate the "oc-
cupiers." A Defense
Ministry source said the
ministry was now review-
ing several plans to re-
construct the synagogue.
The occupation of the
synagogue is apparently
another demonstrative ac-
tion by right-wing groups
against any possible conces-
sions in the West Bank. Fol-
lowing the Camp David
agreements- Kiryat Arba
spokesmen said they would
make sure Israel would
leave a sufficient number of
soldiers in the West Bank —
whether to deal with Arabs,
or with Jews.
An orphan eats much, an
unhappy heart talks much.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that every Jew will purchase Israel
Bonds to assure the survival and strengthening of
the Jewish State which is so central - to our very
being and our identity as Jews who understand that
Kol_Yisrael Chaverim, all Jews are brothers.
