PAOF1C FLIGHTS, DELUXE HOTELS, TWO MEALS DAILY FROM re 11761 CHINA MON .OPT1ONAL EXTENSIONS AVAL4LE TO SPECIAL WIWUr TOUR TO CHINA WASHINGTON (JTA) — A total of 86 members of Congress have cabled Soviet President Leonid Brezhnev urging him "to take immmediate steps to alleviate the harsh condi- tions of imprisonment" of Soviet prisoner of con- science Anatoly Shcharansky. The Jewish activist, who has been denied visits by members of his immediate family and has been de- prived of receiving many of the letters written to him by his mother, Mrs. Ida Mil- grom, was sentenced last July to 13 years in prison and labor camp. The Congressional support for Shcharansky was organized by Rep. Robert Drinan(D-Mass.), chairman of the Interna- tional Committee for the Release • of Anatoly Shcharansky. Rep. Dri- nan said he received a let- ter from the prisoner's wife, Avital, who resides in Israel, asking that President Carter discuss her husband's case with Brezhnev during the pro- spective Soviet- American summit con- ference on the strategic arms limitation treaty (SALT). Reg. Drinan said "I intent to contact the White House in strong and unqualified support of Mrs. Shcharans- ky's request." Meanwhile, a new na- tional census in the Soviet Unioti, could show a Jewish population of not more than 1.9 million, compared with 2.1 million in 1970. This is the result of the emigration of 180,000 Jews since the last census in 1970, in addition to the de- WE HAVE ALL THE ANSWERS TO ALL YOUR PASSOVER KASHES" The oceanfront Algiers is more than a hotel.

However, the figure will depend mainly on whether there will be a large change in national identification in census dec- larations. This is the con- clusion of an analysis by Dr. L. Hirszowicz of the Insti- tute of Jewish Affairs. Since the 1917 revolu- tion, all the censuses have omitted the religion question and recognized Jews as a nationality. Be- tween 1959 and 1970, the number of Jews dropped by 117,000, through natural causes and per- haps through their changing their national identity. The loss be- tween 1970 and 1979 must be much greater — about 270,000, if one adds these processes to the roughly 180,000 emigrants. Another clue to the real number of Jews will be in the answers concerning a person's national language where it differs from his first language. A further decline in the number of Yiddish speakers may be expected, but, Hirszowicz believes, the decline may be overstated due to the way the question is formulated. In New York it was learned that a play on Jewish emigration, and its tragic aftermath, was per- formed in the Ukrainian city of Vinnitsa, according to information received by the Greater New York Con- ference on Soviet Jewry. Entitled "Lost Horizon" the play was simultaneously broadcast on local radio . The GNYCSJ said that the play's plot centers on a Jewish engineer who can- not find a good job in the Soviet Union. Out of anger he emigrated to Israel, where he still cannot find the job he desires. His wife starts to work for the rights of the Palestinian people and he turns her in to Israeli authorities. In a subplot, another Jew emigrates to Israel at the request of the woman he loves. The Jew later discovers that she is a prostitue, paid to lure him out of the USSR. Margy-Ruth Davis, GNYCSJ executive direc- tor noted that the play follows a standard theme in Soviet anti-Semitic lit- erature, which openly seeks to discourage Jewish emigration by trading on classic anti- Semitic stereotypes. "The women in the play are meant to stand in con- trast to each other," Mrs. Davis said. "One stands for the ideals of the Russian people; she is betrayed by her opportunistic and money-grubbing Jewish husband. The other woman is the mold of the Jewess as temptress and prostitute. Recent anti-Semitic pieces have identified Hasidic women, especially, as pros- titutes."
