Friday, May 25, 1919 31 THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS Soviets Jail Kalendarov, Three Jews Sentenced for Bar Fight NEW YORK (JTA) — Boris- Kalendarov, a 21- year-old Leningrad student refusnik and an unofficial Hebrew teacher, was sen- tenced to two years' impris- onment in an eight-hour trial for alleged "draft eva- sion," the Student Struggle for Soviet Jewry (SSSJ) learned. As distinguished from ials of many other Jewish activists, the court was packed with refusniks. A representative from the American Consulate in Leningrad was ejected, but a lawyer from London was allowed to remain. Two defense witnesses were permitted, Boris and his mother Evgenia. Pros- ecution witnesses were members of the police and military, the SSSJ reported. Kalendarov and his parents applied for exit visas to Israel in 1973, and were refused be- cause of his engineer mother's alleged "state secrets." Kalendarov's sister Mila, however, was permitted to emigrate. Kalendarov was in hid- ing about a year before his March 8 arrest. Meanwhile, three Molda- vian Jewish refusniks ar- rested Jan. 5 in a Beltsy cafe for brawling with anti- Semitic thugs have received harsh prison sentences for their part in the melee, ac- cording to the National Conference on Soviet Jewry (NCSJ). The seven hooli- gans who provoked the inci- dent were never arrested. Aleksandr Milner has been sentenced to six years in prison, while Arkady Feldman and Yankel Groberman each received four-year terms. Their trial was April 13. An uniden- tified non-Jew who came to their defense during the fight was arrested with them drew an even longer, although unknown sen- tence, the NCSJ reported. Groberman, who was re- leased from custody prior to the April 13 trial and was to be a material witness, actu- ally appeared as one of the accused. His parents, wife and children, and Milner's father all live in Israel. Groberman's exit applica- tion had been denied on the grounds that he holds state secrets as a result of his army service. In Washington, the Carter Administration was seen as moving closer towards granting U.S. government trade benefits to the Soviet Union by seeking a waiver from Congress under the Jackson-Vanik Amendment. But no offi- cial decision on the exact process is ready for pub- lic discussion. At the State Department, chief spokesman Hodding Carter said that President Carter "has noted we have been • discussing pos- sibilities in this area both with the Congress and with the Soviets. A decision on how we will proceed has not been finally taken." The rate of Soviet Jewish emigration during the past four months would amount to about 50,000 a year. At the time the J-V Amend- ment was adopted, the minimum goal of emigra- tion was set at about 60,000 annually. In the past few weeks, it is understood that a formula for working out a waiver has been discussed between Secretary of State Cyrus Vance and Soviet Ambassador Anatoly Dob- rynin. The J-V Amendment calls for the President to certify assurances from the Soviet government on Soviet policy regarding emigration. There is little sentiment in the Congress for any re- peal of the Jackson-Vanik Amendment but a waiver would enable the Carter June 18 Reception by ORT to Cite Mrs. Miller for Bonds An evening champagne reception on behalf of State of Israel Bonds at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Jack Bean of Birmingham will be the v cene of Michigan Region omen's American ORT's tribute to Mrs. Jeanette Miller, past president of the Northeast Chapter.

Kennedy (D-Mass.) participated in the hooding of Benjamin Levich, who received an honorary doctor of science degree at Boston Univer- sity's commencement Sun- day.

Novosti claims that the synagogue is the fourth in the city of Tashkent, Uz- bekistan, and that the synagogue is "particularly crowded" on "Saturdays and religious holidays." The rabbi is quoted as saying, "We are planning to send several of our youngsters to study at the yeshiva at the Moscow synagogue." Novosti also claimed, "The inauguration cere- mony of one more synagogue in the regional center of Fregana was held the other day." * German-PLO Prisoner Swap in the Offing? BONN (JTA) — The Jus- tice Ministry has refused to confirm or deny a report that the Bonn police are negotiating with the Pales- tine Liberation Organiza- tion to exchange 11 Palesti- nian terrorists arrested in West Germany several weeks ago for four members of the German Red Army terrorist group said to be hiding out in a PLO camp in a Middle Eastern country. According to the report, in the magazine "Quick," the PLO proposed the ex- change and it is presently being negotiated between Guenter Ermisch, vice president of the West Ger- man Criminal Police, and Abdallah Franghi, the PLO representative in Bonn. Meanwhile, Franghi said in an interview published in the West Berlin Berliner Morgenpost, that he could not guarantee that Palesti- nians would not carry out terrorist attacks in West Germany. But he insisted that if they did, it would be without orders or approval by the PLO. Detroit Area Retail Kosher Meat Dealers Assoc.

NEW YORK — Broad- way producer Joseph Papp has proposed taking the musical "Chorus Line" to Moscow. In exchange, Papp has asked Soviet authorities to develop a new Yiddish musical theater in the Soviet Union that could visit the U.S. in two years. Such a group was repor- tedly formed in the so-called Jewish Autonomous Region of Birobidzhan. The region, set up in the 1930s, contains only 10,000 of the Soviet Union's two million Jews, according to the New York Times. * * * Rabbi to Attend NCSJ Assembly Rabbi Efry Spectre, spiritual leader of Adat Shalom Synagogue, will attend the National Confer- ence on Soviet Jewry June 10-12 at the Shoreham Americana Hotel in Wash- ington, D.C.
