S.W. Corner of Evergreen 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 BAD CHECKS!!

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."
