Cranston (D-Calif.), De-
puty Majority Leader in
the Senate, said that the
Soviet Union is jeopardiz-
ing its position in the
"community of nations"
if it continues to "curtail"
Soviet Jewish emigration
and extends the
"harassments" of "refus-
niks" and human rights
activists.
Cranston emphasized
that the drop in emigration
comes despite a "marked in-
crease in applications dur-
ing 1979 and follows by only
four months the record-high
emigration. level of 4,746
last October."
In a related development,
in a cable to Soviet
President Leonid Brezhnev,
Republican Party Chair-
man Bill Brock condemned
the inhumane treatment of
prisoner of conscience
Anatoly Shcharansky.
Brock also sent a cable of
condolence to the noted re-
fusnik, in which he ex-
pressed the sympathy and
support of the American
people.
In Jerusalem, Leon Dul-
zin, chairman of the World
Zionist Organization and
Jewish Agency Executives,
said that it is now more ur-
gent than ever to reduce the
rate of drop-outs — Soviet
Jews who settle in countries
other than Israel after leav-
ing the USSR — because of
a new development in
Soviet emigration policy.
According to Dulzin,
Soviet authorities in the
Ukraine and more re-
cently in Moscow, have
rejected many of the af-
fidavits sent by Israeli
relatives of Russian Jews
seeking to emigrate for
"family reunion."
Dulzin said the Soviet
rationale in these cases is
that the would-be emi-
grants have closer relatives
who have recently left the
USSR ostensibly for Israel
and ask: "Why does your
brother/uncle/cousin not
send a family reunion appli-
cation?" The answer in
many cases, Dulzin said, is
that the brother, uncle or
cousin is not in Israel but in
the U.S.
According to Dulzin, the
drop-outs are preventing
the emigration of other
Soviet Jews.
In Washington, more
than 500 students from
about 50 colleges and uni-
versities, mainly along the
East Coast, urged freedom
for Soviet scientist Andre
Sakharov and appealed to
Congress for continued sup-
port of Soviet Jewry.

pointed the new national

sador's Society of Trustees,
