but also upon potential
applicants who do not even
apply as a result. The result
is a devastating decrease in
the number of letters re-
quested from Israel by Rus-
sian Jews. This is seen in
the fact that the once-
teeming stream of
Russian-Jewish immig-
rants from Odessa has
slowed to the merest
trickle," Mrs. Jacobson said.

World Conference of Jewish
Communities on Soviet
Jewry, Mrs. Jacobson said
the respected Israeli and
former refusnik Aleksandr
Voronel who had favored
aid to noshrim opting for the
United States, publicly con-
fessed that "I was wrong.
We have made a terrible
mistake in allowing this
situation to continue."
In fact, she said, Jewish
leaders from Belgium,
France and Scandinavia
strongly criticized
American Jewry ,"for
pursuing policies toward
the noshrim which are
disastrous for Israel."
The U.S. Refugee Act
may encourage Soviet olim
already in Israel to emi-
grate to the U.S., according
to aliya circles in Israel. Pol-
icy implications of the law
have already been subject of
a sharp exchange of letters
between Jewish Agency
Executive chairman Leon
Dulzin and Gaynor Jacob-
son, executive vice
president of HIAS (Hebrew
Immigrant Aid Society),
which arranges refugee
status for Soviet Jews who
wish to immigrate to the
U.S.
Jacobson (no relation to
Charlotte Jacobson) noted
in his letter that under the
new U.S. law, If a Russian
Jew leaves Russia and does
get to Israel, but after a
brief period of residence de-
cides to leave Israel, he
might be considered a refu-
gee."
Jacobson wrote, "Under
U.S. criteria, residence of
less than one year does not
ordinarily create
presumpitia of firm reset-
tlements."
In his reply, Dulzin re-
minded Jacobson that a
Jew who leaves the
Soviet Union with a visa
to Israel is not a refugee,

but a priori, a citizen of
Israel according to the
Law of Return. The pro-
tection of the state of Is-
rael is extended to that
law, and that his case is
therefore totally differ-
ent from that of any other
(non-Jewish) refugee
from whichever land.
Addressing himself to
Jacobson's contention that
"the mere possession of a
visa to another country does
not confer upon the refugee
its nationality," Dulzin
used unprecedentedly
harsh language terming
Jacobson's approach "anti-
Zionist" and "anti-Israel."
Meanwhile, Amnesty In-
ternational has published a
detailed account of the way
Soviet authorities use
hunger, forced labor and
dangerous drugs to punish
imprisoned dissenters.
The 200-page report,
"Prisoners of Conscience in
the USSR: Their Treatment
and Conditions," is a re-
vised version of a report
first published in 1975. The
new edition includes recent
evidence of the abuse of psy-
chiatry for political repres-
sion and an analysis of
Soviet law as applied to
nonconformists.
In the four years be-
tween publication of the
first edition and prepara-
tion of the second in
mid-1979, Amnesty In-
ternational learned of
more than 400 people
newly imprisoned or
similarly restricted for
exercising fundamental
human rights.
It was also reported that
former U.S. Ambassador
Andrew Young and Mrs.
Coretta Scott King have
been named to a committee
working for the release of
Anatoly Shcharansky.

Israel Regrets -
Resignation by
Cyrus Vance

JERUSALEM (JTA) —
Premier Menahem Begin '
expressed Monday Israel's
"deep sorrow" over the res-
ignation of Secretary of
State Cyrus Vance. He
called him a friend of Israel
"who wanted to help our
country." Saying that
Vance was "a man of inter-
national standing," Begin
noted that his resignation
was received in Israel with
deep sorrow.
Begin's words were
echoed by Foreign Minister
Yitzhak Shamir and former
Foreign Minister Moshe
Dayan. In a radio interview,
Dayan called Vance "a per-
fect gentleman, a man with
whom it was a pleasure to
work. A word was a word."

Cuban Refugees
Aided by Israel

GENEVA (JTA) — The
Israeli government told the
Intergovernmental Com-
mittee for European Migra-
tion (ICEM) that Israel con-
tributed $5,000 to the
organization's special cam-
paign for the - Cuban refu-
gees that massed in the
