To the makers of FARM MAID FOODS, the
heart-warming greeting of this season
is not GOOD YOMTOV! It's not SHALOM!
It's not even A ZIESSEN. PEISACH! It's
AT REGULAR, EVERYDAY PRICES!
That's right! The way FARM MAID greets the Jewish
Community on Passover is by going out of its way to
make a host of foods KOSHER FOR PASSOVER UNDER
STRICT RABBINICAL SUPERVISION, without charging
one single penny more than their normal price! Can you
think of a nicer way to say •
CHAG KAS.HER VESAMEACH!

of Rabbi Jack Goldman
A few of the other re-
fusniks would be allowed
to emigrate before the
Olympics but the others
would go on a long jour-
ney to a place they would
not like, and after the
Games "we will solve the
Jewish problem," Zoltov
said.
Shortly after this inter-
view, the Smulianskys ar-
rived in a distraught state
at the hotel where some
British tourists were stay-
ing and described to them
what had happened.
Smuliansky lost his job as
a metallurgical engineer
nine years ago. He has since
had a series of progressively
lower paid jobs and is now a
night watchman on a build-
ing site earning 65 rubles a
month. His wife, a former
Intourist guide, now
coahces students in modern
languages.
Zoltov's statement is seen
as the latest sign that the
Soviet authorities plan to
clear as many dissidents as
possible from Moscow dur 7
ing the Olympics to prevent
embarrassment to the re-
gime while so many foreign
tourists are • present.
Smuliansky was among
Jewish activists imprisoned
during President Nixon's
visit to Moscow in 1972.
In Washington, the
Carter Administration,
noting the continuing in-
crease in Soviet Jewish
emigration, is consulting
with key members of
Congress'on lifting trade
barriers with the Soviet
Union but says it has not
reached a decision on
specific measures.
Whether and when the
U.S. should extend "most
favored nation" treatment
to the Soviet Union, now
barred by the Jackson-
Vanik Amendment to the
Trade Act, arose at the
State Department after the
National Conference- on
Soviet Jewry reported that
4,418 Jews reached Vienna
during March, a record
number for any month. The
previous high was 4,408 in
October 1973. That was the
record year in Soviet Jewish
emigration when 35,000
Jews were allowed to leave.
Meanwhile, a detailed
new report by Kiev re-
fuseniks was released by
the Student Struggle for
Soviet Jewry and Union of
Councils for Soviet Jews as
"The Ghost of Babi Yar."
Using the Kiev situation as
an example, the Jews report
that:
• "From now on, an exit
application form is not to be

• Only five-ten exit ap-
plications are accepted per

• "The most powerful

requisite first step in the

• Other applicants are
denied exit on the grounds

• The KGB intimidates

were made to recruit re-
