Mendelevich was greeted at the Vienna airport by Dr. Gerhard Reigner, political director of the WJC, Israel Singer, and the Israeli ambassador to Austria Elissar Ben- Yaakov. According to the Geneva office of the WJC, when Mendelevich left the USSR he was told to ask for Singer and when he reached Vie- nna, Singer was apparently involved by Bronfman in the negotiations for Men- delevich's release. Mendelevich was one of 10 persons charged at the Leningrad trial with being the ringleaders of a plot to IBM Selectrics Full Warranty '388 342-7802 GOT A VIDEO MA CHINE?

Two others, Edward Kuzenetzov and Mark Dymshits, were sentenced to death, later commuted to 15-years imprisonment. They were released in 1979 in a prisoner exchange that also included imprisoned Soviet Jewish dissident Aleksander Ginsberg. Their release was in exchange for two Soviet spies serving 50-year sentences in the U.S. Mendelevich had been sentenced to 15 years, later reduced on appeal to 12. Singer told report- ers that he considered the release as a sign that the Soviets want to improve relations with the United States, especially since it was a unilateral gesture and no prisoner ex- change was involved. Other Jewish sources indicated that Men- delevich's release was "not an isolated case" and that the release of other Soviet dissidents had been dis- cussed. During his imprison- ment, Mendelevich became known as "The Rabbi of the Labor Camps" because of his strict adherence to Or- thodox religious practices. For that reason and because he gave Hebrew lessons to other Jewish inmates, he was allegedly singled out for especially harsh treat- ment by camp authorities. Mendelevich's family in Israel had not had direct contact with him for several • • • • • • 0- • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • ••• • • • • • We Take The Worry Out Of • DRAPERY CLEANING • • • • • • Drapery cleaning when properly done is an art, we at ' CUSTOM • • • • • • • • DRAPERY CLEANERS practice most diligently, in our never • ending quest to improve our service to you by seeking better systems and methods. • • • Don't take good drapery cleaning for granted.

Because of his hunger strike to protest the denial of religious artifacts and other maltreatment, they were particularly con- cerned for his health. Recently, his sister, Rivka Dori, a resident of Gush Etzion, received a disturbing message from friends in Moscow who said that their inquiries into the condition of Mendelevich, who was transferred to the Perm 36 Prison Labor Camp in the Urals a year ago, had elicited a reply from the camp commandant that the prisoner was no longer there. His apparent disappear- ance gave rise to fear that he was seriously ill and transferred to a hospital or that he may have died. Premier Menahem Begin of Israel, who met with Dori in Jerusalem on Monday, told her that Ambassador Dob- rynin had promised over the weekend that he would make inquiries as to Men- delevich's whereabouts. On Sunday, after Begin raised the question of Men- delevich's disappearance at the weekly Israel Cabinet meeting, the Cabinet de- cided that Israel would mount a world-wide public opinion campaign to ascer- tain his whereabouts and obtain his release. It is not known whether Begin or his government were aware of Bronfman's negotiations Rockets Hit Paris Embassy PARIS (JTA) — Two roc- kets were fired early Mon- day at the South Yemen embassy in Paris by a group claiming to represent "the victims of the Rue Copernic Synagogue" blast which kil- led four people and wounded over 20 last October. The rockets, which police said seemed to have been placed by experts, caused serious damage to the building but no casualties. , An inscription found on the wall of a courtyard from which the rockets were fired said "Remember Copernic." Pamphlets found on the site also indicated that the at- tackers were seeking to re- venge the October bombing. An anonymous caller told a French news agency, "This attack was committed in the name of the Rue Copernic victims." At the time of the Copernic synagogue blast police believed the attack was carried out by anti-Semitic elements. Later, it was assumed that Arab extremists, presumably Libyan in- spired, set the bomb. South Yemen, a Marxist country, has been described as providing training facilities for European and Palestinian terrorists. with Dobrynin. Meanwhile, the National Conference on Soviet Jewry reported that Viktor Brailovsky's medical condi- tion has improved. He is now receiving the appropri- ate medication and dietary supplement needed for the treatment of his illness which the NCSJ said was a liver condition. Brailovsky was not transferred to Lefortovo Prison, as the NCSJ re- ported last week, but re- mains in Moscow's Butyrka Prison where he has been since his arrest last November; In Madrid, Carol Bel- lamy, New York City's Council president, said that she and other New York women are forming an organization on behalf of Ida Nudel, the Soviet Jewish activist who has been in exile in Siberia since 1978 after she chal- lenged the Soviet authorities to give her an exit visa to Israel. Meanwhile, Hannah Elinson, a 64-yvr-old re- tired engineer and a foun- der of the Moscow Women's Group of refuseniks, has been given permission, along with her husband Saul Gorelik, to rejoin their two sons in Israel. The couple have been denied exit for five years. The in- formation was obtained by phone from Moscow by the Long Island Committee for Soviet Jewry. The Student Struggle for Soviet Jewry and Union of Councils for Soviet Jews say activists in the USSR are reporting a vastly increased number of Jews both re- fused exit visas and waiting for over a year for answers to their emigration applica- tions. The activists said they knew of 20,000 such Jews in Moscow alone, 10,000 in Leningrad, 7,000 in Kiev, nearly 4,000- in Odessa and 3,000 in Kharkov. Fifty-two Moscow Jewish refusniks have writter President Reagan expi ing their "great joy" on the release of the 52 American hostages from Iran and, in reference to their own plight asked if "right has also triumphed."
