At a State Department- sponsored meeting this month in Washington, Chiae Herzig, co-president of the Women's Division of the American Jewish Con- gress, spoke on behalf of the Leadership Conference of National Jewish Women's Organizations. Referring to the docu- ment which used lan- guage condemning Is- rael, Herzig said, "not only Israel but the rights of women everywhere are victimized by these tactics."

There will be no way for Israel to escape condemnation and no way to prevent the sub- version of the conference from its true purpose to one that serves the prop- aganda needs and pur- poses of the PLO." Sarah Weddington, co- chairman of the U.S. dele- gation along with the U.S. ambassador to the UN, Donald F. McHenry, called the dociiment "very one- sided" and added that the U.S. delegation "will work with other delegations in opposing other resolutions based on the language and analysis in that document." The conference is divided into two sections: one com- posed of official delegations representing, their respec- tive countries as well as Non-Governmental Organ- izations with consultative status at the UN. The other is a forum, open to anyone who wishes to attend. The forum meets concur- rently with the governmen- tal section and provides the participants with work- shops, exhibits and dis- cussions where anyone is free to speak on any of the issues. It does not, however, issue any formal resolutions or statements. At present there are 700 American women regis- tered for the forum with several weeks still remain- ing before the conference begins. Among these are representatives of various Jewish organizations in- cluding NCJW, Hadassah, American Jewish Congress and the American Jewish Committee. Jewish wonii from Venezuela, Pt Finland, Sweden, Hollauu, England and other Euro- pean countries are also planning to attend. * * * Michigan Coalition Protests UN Parley A coalition of Michigan individuals and organiza- tions has issued a statement protesting "the distortion of the program" of the Mid- Decade Conference of Women. Their statement said, in part: "By August 1979 it was learned that the provisional agenda of the world confer- ence would include issues of a political nature,_ which would change the entire thrust of the conference and therefore not address the real needs and concerns of women all over the world. "Recently, the pre- paratory committee for the women's conference, meeting at the United Na- tions, accepted a request by the PLO to include in the conference anti- Zionist measures linking the treatment of Palesti- nian women by Israel with apartheid. A docu- ment replete with distor- tions of fact was adopted by the UN Economic Committee for Western Asia and officially ac- cepted by the preparat- ory committee for inclu- sion in the Copenhagen conference, upon request of the PLO who are liter- ally 'running the show.' "We are concerned that an attempt is being made to use the so-called Women's Conference, to spread anti- Israel - and anti-Semitic propaganda. We must ex- pose the sham being made of the original purpose of the conference. "A very effective and im- portant platform is being subverted and these facts must be aired, publicized and deplored before anyone gets to Copenhagen." The statement was endorsed by the American Jewish Congress, Jewish Community Council, American Jewish Commit- tee, Israel Information and Resource Center, Jewish Labor Committee, National Council of Jewish Women, Pioneer Women, Women's American ORT, World Organization of Jews from Arab Countries, Metropoli- tan Detroit Bnai Brith Women's Council, Detroit Chapter of Hadassah, League of Jewish Women's Organizations, Dr. Carol Rittner, R.S.M., Mildred Jeffrey, member of the Na- tional Commission on Women's Year, Greater De- troit Round Table of the Na- tional Conference of Chris- tians and Jews, Metropoli- tan Detroit Youth Founda- tion, and Michigan Regional Office of the Anti-Defamation League of Bnai Brith. Soviet Dissident Pilnikov Tried NEW YORK (JTA) — Valery Pilnikov, a Soviet Jewish activist from Kiev, was scheduled to go on trial this week on trumped up charges of malicious hooliganism and .alleged beating, the Greater New York Conference on Soviet •c,'s Jewry learned. The trial is being held despite written evidence clearing him of all charges. In . London, it was re- ported that a series of at- tacks on British Jews visit- ing the Soviet Union has sparked a bitter diplomatic row between the two coun- tries. Nikolai Lunkov, the Soviet Ambassador, was called to the Foreign Office and told of an organized KBG campaign of "assault, intimidation and harass- ment" against British tourists. The Soviet Embassy said that Britain's protest was part of its campaign against the Moscow Olympics and an attempt to intimidate would-be visitors to the Games. It denied there was a campaign against Jewish tourists and replied that Moscow and Leningrad were no different from Lon- don where certain parts of the city are unsafe. Three generations of the famed refusenik Golds- tein family of Tibilsi mother and father Isai and Elizabeta, their son Avi, brother Grigory, and the re- spective grandmothers ---, pose in a photo obtained by the Student Struggle for Soviet Jewry in front of thP 1 "Israel wall." The wall frames an Israel map and is photos of the prisoners of conscience — and a S poster of Grigory when he was a POC. , In fact, Jewish communal circles here had been buz- zing for months with reports of attacks on British visitors to the Soviet Union who were trying to maintain contact with Jewish "refus- niks" there. The attackers were always in plainclothes, but the vic- tims had no doubt that they were secret policemen rather than private indi- viduals. - In a related development, Prof. Grigori Freiman, a Soviet Jewish math- ematician who has accuse-- the Soviet mathematics es- tablishment of discriminat- ing against Jews, said that he had been dismissed from his teaching post at the uni- versity in Kalinin, north- West of Moscow. Freiman said he was told he was dismissed as part of a reduction in staff. He said he would appeal the dismis- sal on the grounds that it violated a Soviet law insur- ing a professorship for five years after periodic reviews of qualifications.
