PARIS (JTA) — The
Brussels Conference for
Soviet Jewry will meet in
Paris in October, Claude
Kelman, vice president of
the Brussels Conference
presidium, announced. He
said the conference will be
held "as a matter of
urgency" in view of the con-
stantly deteriorating situa-
tion of Soviet Jews.
In New York, the vice
chancellor of Austria, Fred
Sinowatz, pledged that his
country would accept all
Jews allowed to leave the

Soviet Union.
Sinowatz, addressing a
delegation ofJewish leaders
organized by Jack Spitzer,
indicated that he was un-
certain about Soviet inten-
tions on the release of Jews.
Emigration from the USSR
dropped about 90 percent
during the past year.
Austria has served as a
stopping-off point for
tens of thousands of Jews
leaving the Soviet Union,
as well as the new home
for other thousands, for
which Spitzer expressed
the gratitude of Jews the
world over. There had
been reports that the
government of Chancel-
lor Bruno Kreisky
planned to shut down its
transit centers for Jewish
emigrants.
In Washington, a Reagan
Administration official ex-
pressed concern that the
percentage of Soviet Jews
opting to go to the United
States is feeding Soviet
propaganda and leading to a
clamp down on emigration.
But Ambassador Eugene
Douglas, coordinator for
Refugee Affairs, told the

Leadership Conference of
the World Assembly of
Jewish War Veterans, that
the U.S. could accommodate
any Soviet Jews who
wanted to come to this coun-
try after leaving the Soviet
Union. He noted, however,
that the Russians claim to
be angered that Soviet Jews
given visas for Israel end up
in the U.S.
Meanwhile, Arye Dulzin,
chairman of the Jewish
Agency Executive, implied
that representatives of the
anti-Zionist Satmar Rebbe
are using U.S. refugee funds
_in Austria in their efforts to
convince Soviet Jews to go
to the United States instead
of Israel.
The National Confer-
ence on Soviet Jewry re-
ported that 18-year-old
Leningrad activist
Mikhail Tsivin, twice ar-
rested and briefly in-
carcerated for openly
dramatizing his desire to
emigrate to Israel, was
conscripted into the
Soviet military. Tsivin's
emigration activism will
now be curtailed for sev-
eral years.
U.S. Representative Dale

Kildee (D-Flint) reported
this week that refusniks he
has been in touch with have
been allowed to emigrate to
Israel after being denied an
exit visa for five years.
A letter sent to Kildee by
the Viktor Pelakh family
credited the efforts of the
Congressman and the De-
troit Committee for Soviet
Jewry for their release.
A family that has been
waiting six years to be re-
united received media at-
tention this week. A proxy
wedding ceremony in Wash-
ington "reunited" Edward
and Tatyana Lozansky.
After agreeing to a
Soviet divorce on condi-
tion that his wife would
be allowed to follow him,
Lozansky was permitted
to leave Russia six years
ago. But Mrs. Lozansky's
father, a Soviet general,
has refused to give the
required parental per-
mission to allow his
daughter and grand-
daughter to join
Lozansky. •
A .Baltimore rabbi per-
formed the ceremony, which
was witnessed by Senators
Jack Kemp (R-N.Y.) and
Robert Dole (R-Kan.)

JERUSALEM (JTA) —
Israel will make no further
arms deals with Argentina,
but would deliver any arms
already contracted for,
Foreign Minister Yitzhak
Shamir said last weekend.
The British government
had asked for clarification
of the arms relationship be-
tween Israel and Argentina
after attention was drawn
last week to the fact that an
Argentine figher plane
downed by Britain off the
coast of the Falkland Is-
lands was identified as an
Israeli-made Dagger, a
forerunner of Israel's Kfir
fighter plane.
Shamir said that Israel
wanted to stay out of the
Falklands dispute and had
concluded no arms deal
since the crisis erupted. Ac-
cording to officials in
Jerusalem, Israel is a minor
supplier of arms to Argen-

tina, the scar,-

10 percent of Argentina's
arms imports.
Reports in foreign publi-
cations noted that Israel has
sold Argentina two squad-
rons of Daggers, known as
Neshers. Buenos Aires has
also purchased four
aluminum-hulled Dabur-
class patrol boats, sever' -
Gabriel ship-to-ship mi
siles and Shafir air-to-air
missiles, among other ad-
vanced weapons. Israel offi-
cially maintains a tight
news blackout on arms
sales.
