Soviet officials to appear at
their local OVIR (office of
visas and registration) on
the day reserved only for
giving out visas, were told
that officials, on second
thought, had decided not to
issue them, itccording to the
National Conference on
Soviet Jewry.
Their refusals were based
on the fact that the degree of
kinship of Israeli relatives
was "not of the first degree,"
therefore, not qualifying
them for emigration. The
families had already sold
their belongings and made
some of the arrangements
for their final departure, the
NCSJ said.
This new evidence of
further constraints on
emigration follows a harsh
campaign of harassment
and arrests of Kiev Jewish
citizens by the Soviet offi-
cials, the latest of which in-
volved the arrest and two-
week detention of Kiev re-
fuseniks who openly pro-
tested their refusals to the
Presidium of the Supreme

Soviet of the Ukrainian Re-
public, the NCSJ reported.
The refuseniks were
also harassed by Soviet
officials and were made
objects of slanderous ar-
ticles painted in various
Soviet newspapers.
The NCSJ said it was
convinced that this new de-
velopment is a foreshadow-
ing of future obstacles to be
implemented by the USSR
in the way of emigration.
An analysis by the NCSJ
Soviet Jewry Research
Bureau of the sharp upturn
in the number of refusals,
particularly in the Ukraine,
confirms suspicions that
local officials have been in-
structed to drastically de-
crease the number of appli-
cations being submitted for
emigration to Israel.
Furthermore, the charge
is having a dramatic impact
on Jews who will be able to
leave.
Hundreds of families
who previously wanted
to leave have recently
been deterred from
applying, while scores of
those refused remain si-
lent, some out of fear of
harassment to them-
selves or their families,
the NCSJ declared.
Meanwhile, the National
Executive Committee of the
Labor Zionist Alliance
voted to support the com-
promise proposal of the
World Zionist Organization
Executive that: while every
Jew who can be, will be re-
scued from the Soviet
Union, "financial assis-
tance for absorption and re-
settlement will go to only
those Soviet Jews opting to
go to Israel or those Soviet
Jews with immediate fam-
ily already in America who
opt for resettlement in the
U.S."
In making the an-
nouncement, Prof. Allen
Pollack, LZA president, and
a member of the WZO
Executive, emphasized that
"every Soviet Jew who can
be rescued will be; no one
will be denied a letter of in-
vitation from the state of Is-
rael."
Both he and the NEC
members noted that "no one
will be forced to go any-
where." Soviet Jews can
select freely their new coun-
try of residence, but "Jewish
communal funds will not be
available for use in their ab-
sorption outside of Israel,"
unless they have immediate
family in America, for
example.
Pollack stressed that
out of the approximate
140,000 Soviet Jews who
had settled in Israel, only
about 2,000 had left the
Jewish state for other
destinations.
In Paris, a giant Hanuka
menora was lit in Central
Paris as a beacon of hope for
Soviet Jewry and of protest
against the Soviet Union's
continuing anti-Jewish dis-
crimination.
Some 1,500 people
attended the ceremonies.
Israel Finance
Minister Appeals
for Support
NEW YORK — "Israel
cannot alone bear the heavy
burden of reconstruction in
the Negev while at the same
time doing its utmost to re-
strain inflation and im-
prove an adverse balance of
payments," Finance Minis-
ter Yigal Hurwitz of Israel
said.
In his first message to the
Israel Bond Organization
since being named to office
last month, Hurwitz added:
"The problems we face are of
such dimensions that we
cannot carry the burden
alone."
He focused on the new $1
billion Economic Develop-
ment for Peace Loan Issue,
which he said was "of major
importance in the effort to
help Israel meet these chal-
lenges."
Meeting with Sam
Rothberg, general chair-
man of the Israel Bond
Organization, and Michael
Amon, president and chief
executive officer in
Jerusalem, Hurwitz said:
"Now more than ever before
we need the cooperation of
our loyal friends in the
United States and Canada,
and together we will strive
to lay the economic founda-
tions of peace."
