Konstantin Zoltov, an of- ficial of ovir, the organiza- tion which processes exit visas ; gave the warning to Alla Smuliansky who, with her husband Mark, has been trying to leave for Is- rael for the past nine years. According to a British vis- itor to. Moscow, who re- turned to London, Alla went to the ovir office on receipt of an official invitation ad- dressed-to her husband.

All year (and Passover) under supervision 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 filled out by the applicant but must be completed by a district lawyer, resulting in Happy Passover FELDBRO QUALITY MEATS 6720 ORCHARD LAKE RD.

Draft-age males cannot even apply, and are told they must first serve in the Red Army. • Families are refused on the grounds their relatives in Israel "are too distant in kinship." • Other applicants are denied exit on the grounds their realtives in the USSR have "state secrets." • The KGB intimidates and harasses Jewish ac- tivists in Kiev-. Attempts were made to recruit re- fuseniks as KGB agents. In New York, Reps.

Dissident leader Andrei Sakharov, a Nobel Peace Prize winner, who is a full member of the academy may become a victim of the new rule. Meanwhile, Sergei Trapeznikov, a protege of President Leonid Brezhnev, was denied full member status. An Uneasy Truce JERUSALEM (ZINS) — Israeli President Yitzhak Navon says that Israel and the Diaspora have an un- easy truce between them, rather than a free and open dialogue. He said Israelis do not come to grips with the two problems Navon believes are overriding: the number of Jews in the Diaspora who will remain 'Jews and will Israel be the only Jewish community left?
