which it continues to re-
ceive from the Soviet Union
that Soviet authorities are
instituting new and unrea-
sonable restrictions on
Soviet Jews who seek to
emigrate.
For the first time, Soviet
authorities are challenging
whether the Soviet Jew
seeking to emigrate and his
Israeli family who has sent
him an invitation have a
"sufficient kinship."
In a related development,
Ida Nudel has not suffered a
heart attack, as far as her
close family has been able to
ascertain from reliable
sources. This despite a re-
port by the Al Tidom Asso-
ciation of New York which
released a report to the ef-
fect that the Jewish pris-
oner of conscience who is
exiled in Siberia had been
stricken by a heart attack
recently.
According to a close
family friend, Nudel's sis-
ter, Ilana Friedman, who
lives in Holon, spoke with
aliya activists in Moscow
by phone over the
weekend and was as-
sured that the heart at-
tack report was un-
founded.
Another friend, Genya
Intrator of Toronto, also
spoke with Moscow by
phone Monday and she,
too, was told that Nudel was
not critically ill as the re-
port made out.
(In New York, Rabbi
David Goldstein of Al
Tidom told the Jewish Tele-
graphic Agency, which car-
ried the report, that he
based his information on
what he termed reliable
sources. He said according
to those sources Nudel had
suffered a heart attack the
weekend of Oct. 20. He in-
sisted that this source had
not been wrong in providing
Al Tidom with reports in the
past.)
Meanwhile, Premier
Menahem Begin met with
leaders of American Jewish
organizations to discuss the
problem of the Jewish
Agency Board of Governors.
Begin and the Jewish
leaders reached agreement
on two points: the need for
more Jews to leave the
Soviet Union and the need
for more of those leaving the
Soviet Union to go to Israel.
But there was little agree-
ment on the issue of drop-
outs — those who leave the
USSR but do not choose to
settle in Israel.
About half a year ago
Begin proposed that the
Joint Distribution Commit-
tee and HIAS deal only with
those emigrants who have
relatives in the United
States. Leon Dulzin, chair-
man of the Jewish Agency
and World Zionist Organ-
ization Executives, said Be-
gin's proposal had been ac-
cepted by HIAS and JDC
leaders who were now dis-
cussing it with local com-
munity organizations.
"Some of the communities
are ready to accept the pro-
posal," Dulzin said, "but
others are not convinced. So
far, the situation is that few
Jewish communities in the

United States believe they
should stop helping Soviet
Jews to settle in the U.S. in
order to help reduce the
dropout rate."
Jewish Agency sources
claimed that so far the De-
troit, Miami and Los
Angeles communities have
agreed to reduce aid to
Soviet immigrants, except
for those who have close
relatives in those cities.
The Jewish leaders
who met with Begin
asked the premier for an-
other few weeks before
giving him a final answer
on how they would re-
solve the dropout issue.
Meanwhile, it was under-
stood that due to di-
minishing funds, finan-
cial aid to Soviet immig-
rants who wish to settle
in the U.S. would be re-
duced.
It also was learned that at
the 48th general assembly
of the Council of Jewish
Federations in Montreal
Nov. 14-18 the issue of
Soviet Jewish dropouts will
be discussed. At least two
federations have indicated
that they will present reso-
lutions on this issue which
some observers say may
produce fireworks.
The two resolutions, one
by the United Jewish Corn-
munity of Bergen County
(New Jersey), and the other
by the Jewish Community
Council of Oklahoma City,
Okla., affirm that Soviet
Jews who arrive in Vienna
with Israeli visas must go to
Israel and that federations
in the United States should
no longer be financially re-
sponsible for aiding in their
resettlement in this coun-
try.
Both resolutions also
state that those Soviet Jews

.

for whom the federations
have already assumed re-
sponsibility will receive the
requisite aid. The Ok-
lahoma resolution adds that
"A Russian Jew who arrives
in a local community
through any means" should
be aided in resettling.
The Bergen County
resolution, which wa'
passed 34-14, reaffirms
"total support for the
present policy of using
world Jewsh charitable
funds and human re-
sources to help all Jews
exercise their right to
emigrate from the Soviet
Union" and that Soviet
Jews "will receive our
total support for the use
of world Jewish charita-
ble funds and human re-
sources to aid all Jews to
immigrate to Israel and
be 'resettled' in Israel."
The resolution adds that
Soviet Jews "will have the
right to resettle anywhere
else in the world, doing so by
utilizing family or personal
resources. We declare that
the United Jewish Commu-
nity of Bergen County shall
not allocate any future
funds or human resources,
nor accept any additional
Russian Jews for 'resettle-
ment in Bergen County."
The Oklahoma City reso-
lution, which was adoped by
the community council's
executive committee, stated
that "mindful of the need for
increased immigration to
Israel," the council "re-
quests that the UJA
(United Jewish Appeal),
JDC- (Joint Distribution
Committee), HIAS and its
member communities take
positive steps to insure that
all Russian Jews who arrive
in Vienna with Israeli visas
be sent without delay to Is-
rael."

Timerman Grateful to U.S.
for Aid in Gaining Release

NEW YORK (JTA) —
Jacobo Timerman, the
Argentine publisher and
editor now living in Israel,
said he was grateful to the
Carter Administration for
help in securing his release
from Argentina after 21'2
years in prison and under
house arrest.
— Timerman made his re-
marks at a luncheon in
which he received the
Hubert Humphrey Prize
Medallion from the Anti-
Defamation League of Bnai
Brith. The medallion- was
originally presented in
June in absentia and ac-
cepted by Timerman's son,
Hector.
Maxwell E. Greenberg,
ADL national chairman,
also presented a special ci-
tation to Patricia Derian,
assistant secretary of state
for human rights and
humanitarian affairs, "for
help in the Timerman case
and her efforts in behalf of
other political prisoners
throughout the world."
Timerman also ex-
pressed thanks to the
ADL and other indepen-
dent organizations in the
U.S. who worked on his
behalf. But he urged the

ADL and other American
groups to continue their
efforts on behalf of other
political prisoners.
Timerman received the
mass media award of the
American Jewish Commit-
tee's institute of human re-
lations at its national
executive council meeting
in San Francisco.
