Continuing Support for Noshrim Major Issue at CJF Assembly

re-settle. An exit visa
from Russia should not
be contingent on the
guarantee that Israel will
be the ultimate destina-
tion and should not be
held hostage for people
already held hostage by
the Soviet government.
"The price for an exit visa
now exacted by the Soviets
ides forfeiture of jobs,
1. .,es, pensions, and more.
The emigre's difficulties
should not be further com-
pounded by these new de-
mands that Jewish com-
munities in the 'United
States reduce their expendi-
tures of aid to Soviet immig-
rants and make it available
. primarily for those who
have close relatives in their
cities."
Taking cognizance of the
fact that leaders of the
Workmen's Circle were
among the founders of and
still active in the Joint Dis-
tribution Committee and
the HIAS, the national
executive board said, "The
traditions of these two great
institutions are being
traduced by these restric-
tive proposals. From their
very inception, both organ-
izations have never asked a
Jewish immigrant 'Where

can we help?' "
"We are in sympathy with
Israel's desire to increase its
manpower potential and to
give safe haven to Soviet
Jews," the board said, add-
ing, "Nonetheless, freedom
of choice should prevail. It is
in the tradition of America
to support the right of any
citizen of any country to
emigrate to any land of his
choice."
A complete revision in
policies of encouraging
the "dropouts," the nos-
hrim, is urged by the pro-
testers who claim that ac-
tion by HIAS and others
aiding those who aban-
don their original aim of
settling in Israel is
calamitous to the tasks of
Israel's upbuilding.
Israel. Prime Minister
Menahem Begin reportedly
urged that orly those who
have close relatives in \the
U.S. should be helped to set-
tle in the U.S.
Mrs. Charlotte Jacobson
had advocated a plan to en-
able emigres from Russia to
go to Israel and there to test
the opportunities provided
for them iri the hope of their
remaining there.
Various changes in
technicalities are specu-
lated in some communities.
In Detroit, the aim is to
limit assistance to new
-settlers from Russia to 90
days, during which time
they will be assisted to se-
cure employment so they
become self-supporting. Dr.
Sklover's demands for a re-
vision of present policies
and for insistence on adher-
ence to the intentions of
Russian emigres to settle in
Israel has the backing of
Arye Dulzin, chairman of
the Jewish Agency and of
the World Zionist Organiza-
tion Executives, who stated
in a message to him:
You know that I have
on many occasions stated
that I consider the nos-
hrim problem a national
calamity. I believe that

done to make sure that
most of the Soviet Jews
leaving Russia with
Israeli documents should
reach Israel. We need
them and we are best
equipped to absorb them
and to make sure that
they remain part of the
Nation."
The protests emphasize
the urgency to give priority
to Israel's needs which can
be fulfilled by settling the
Russian Jews in Israel. In
ensuing debates at many of
the seminars dealing with
the issue there are objec-
tions to diversion of funds
intended for Israel towards
the mass settlement of Rus-
sians who become dropouts
and the use of charity dol-
lars intended for Israel for
other purposes.
