Mendelevich Says Attention Is Lacking
for Jewish Prisoners in the Soviet Union

viewers that he felt insuffi-
cient interest was shown in
prisoners of Zion while they
languish in Soviet camps.
He called for public action
on behalf of the two non-
Jewish participants in the
Leningrad escape attempt,
Yuri Fedorov and Aleksei
Murzhenko, who; he said
are still detained "in the
most harsh conditions." He
also mentioned Ida Nudel,
Vladimir Slepak, Iosif Be-
gun, Victor Brailovsky and
Anatoly Shcharansky.
A day after his arrival
from the USSR, Men-
delevich called on "every
Jew in the United States
to do whatever is in his
power" to help in the
campaign to free other
prisoners of Zion.
At a press conference at
Allon Shvut, the West Bank
home of his sister Rikva
Dori, Menedelevich asked
all Jews to continue the
struggle.
Mendelevich said his last

JERUSALEM (JTA) —
"We will never forget you —
not even for one day," Pre-
mier Menahem Begin told
Yosef Mendelevich when
they met last Friday at the
premier's office. Begin re-
called that he, too, had
spent some time in the
Soviet "Gulag" camps.
But Mendelevich, the last
of the imprisoned Jewish
defendants in the 1970
Leningrad hijack trial to be
released, seemed uncon-
vinced. He told television

TORONTO (JTA) — A
special joint committee of
both houses of the Canadian
Parliament drafting a na-
tional constitution has ac-
cepted a recommendation
by the Canadian Jewish
Congress (CJC) that would
facilitate the prosecution of
Nazi war criminals living in
Canada.
The war crimes clause
would prevent a war crimi-
nal from claiming immun-
ity if the acts charged were
not crimes at the time and
place where they were
committed.
The CJC also had input
on other matters covered in
the constitution which is to
be presented to the full Par-
liament for ratification, al-
though not all of its recom-
mendations were adopted.

Yitzhak Navon to lead a re-
doubled effort on his behalf.
Shcharansky has been
reported to be in failing
health. His mother, Ida
Milgrom, in a telephone
call fron Moscow, said
she had been told by
prison authorities that
technical problems had
delayed letters from him
and this she said, had
heightened her concern.
In a related development,
the number of Jews who left
the Soviet Union during the
first 15 days of February
was 562, according to Char-
lotte Jacobson, chairman of
the Soviet Jewry Research
Bureau of the National Con-
ference on Soviet Jewry.
Though this figure re-
flects an increase over re-
cent half-monthly figures, it
seems unlikely that this
February's total will reach
last year's February figure
of 3,023, she said.
It also was learned that a
date and site for the third
Brussels Conference on
Soviet Jewry will be
selected by the Conference
Presidium at a meeting this
spring, according to Leon
Dulzin, chairman of the
World Zionist Organization
and Jeikish Agency Execu-
tives.
