tempt following a rally at
the Park East Synagogue in
Manhattan marking the
second anniversary of
Shcharansky's arrest by the
KGB in Moscow, March 15,
'1977.
Shcharansky's original
ring was confiscated as
"state property" recently
when he was transferred
from Vladimir to Chistopol
prison.
Following the rally,
Mrs. Shcharansky, left
the synagogue and
walked across the street
to deliver the ring to the
Soviet Mission to the
United Nations. Soviet of-
ficials refused to come to
the door.
Meanwhile, in an attempt
to secure the release of
Shcharansky and other
political and Jewish ac-
tivists imprisbned in the
Soviet Union, John C.
Sawhill, president of New
York University, extended
an open invitation to the
Soviet government to allow
Shcharansky to participate
in the university com-
mencement program in
June.
Further, in an attempt to,
mobilize a broad base of
university support to secure
Shcharansky's release,
Sawhill called "on univer-
sity presidents throughout
this country, throughout
the free world, and
throughout the Soviet
Union to extend a similar
invitation for their com-
mencement programs."
Sawhill spoke at a press
conference at the St. Regis
Hoter announcing the for-
mation of the New York
Committee of Conscience.
The newly formed commit-
tee serves to increase
awareness of the problem of
Soviet Jewish prisoners.
Sen. Edward M. Ken-
nedy (D-Mass.) appealed
to the Administration for
immediate action to
parole into the. United
States Soviet Jews and
other special migrants
and refugees from East-
ern Europe now
backlogged in Rome.
Sen. Kennedy, chairman
of the Committee on the
Judiciary, made his appeal
in a recent letter to Attor-
ney General Griffin Bell.
Fatah,
terrorist group,:
was quoted in the Christian
Science Monitor Wednes-
day as saying, "It is not just
that we won't participate"
in the autonomy elections
on the West Bank and Gaza
Strip. "We will sabotage the
self-rule scheme and we will
sabotage all the results of
Camp David."

Navon Signature
Needed on Treaty
JERUSALEM (JTA) —
Israeli President Yitzhak
Navon will have to sign the
Israeli-Egyptian peace
treaty in order to validate
the document.
Israeli Attorney General
Yitzhak Zamir ruled this
week that Navon's signa-
ture was required.
Israel is still seeking
treaty signing ceremonies
in Cairo and Jerusalem and
reportedly Prime Minister
Menahem Begin will dis-
cuss this issue with
President Jimmy Carter.
Israel and the U.S. are
also discussing unilateral
steps to be taken by Is-
rael "to improve the at-
mosphere" with Egypt.
The steps may include
the release of 20 pris-
oners by Israel and the
allowing of political ac-
tivity in the administered
territories.

Modia may go to Egypt next
week to discuss a number of
technical problems related
to Israel's evacuation of the
Sinai oil fields.
Under the immigration
laws, the attorney general
is authorized to parole into

rants and refugees for
