tion Service."
,
Spokesmen for the De-
fense and State Depart-
ments and the FBI declined
immediate comment on the
charges. But a Justice De-
partment spokesman said
the department is "aware of
these allegations and is
looking into them."
Loftus estimated that
more than 300 Nazi col-
► ... laborators from the
Soviet Republic of
Byelorussia are living in
to U.S. at this time. Some
re still employed by
government and quasi-
government agencies, he
said.
The Washington Post re-
ported that officials of Radio
Free Europe/Radio Liberty
confirmed that it . employed
several alleged col-
laborators named in the "60
Minutes" program but that
they are believed to have
been cleared by the gov-
ernment.
One of them was iden-
tified as Stanislau Stan-
kevitch, recently deceased,
who reportedly confessed to
the OSI that he was in
charge of the large-scale ex-
termination of Jews in
Byelorussia. Stankevitch, a
former freelancer for Radio
Free Europe/Radio Liberty,
died before he was prose-
cuted.
Another freelancer em-
ployed by the joint radio op-
eration who was named on
"60 Minutes" is Vilis
Hazner. The INS tried but
failed to deport him and
Hazner, suspended during
the investigation, has since
been rehired according to
William Kratch, New York
bureau chief of Radio Free
Europe/Radio Liberty.

Court Denies
Trifa Appeal
WASHINGTON (JTA) —
The U.S. Supreme Court re-
fused Monday to hear a new
appeal for retention of citi-
zenship by Archbishop Val-
erian Trifa of Grass Lake,
Mich., who has been
charged wall concealing his
leadership role in the fascist
Romanian Iron Guard when
he applied for U.S. citizen-
ship in 1957. The Iron
Guard has been blamed for
mass murders of Jews and
Masons in Bucharest dur-
ing World War II. The court
issued the ruling with no
comment.
The effect of the Supreme
Court ruling is to uphold a
federal district court ruling
in Detroit that Trifa's action
of voluntarily renouncing
his citizenship in 1980
stands. The Immigration
and Naturalization_Service
is now expected to proceed
with its repeatedly-delayed
plans to start deportation
proceedings against the
primate of the Romanian
Orthodox Episcopate of
America.
Kennedy Honored by Aguda,
Raps Arms Sale to Jordan
NEW YORK (JTA) —
Sen. Edward Kennedy (D-
Mass .) sharply criticized the
Reagan Administration's
intention to sell advanced
F-5 fighter aircraft, porta-
ble Stinger anti-aircraft
missiles and laser guided
bombs to Jordan.
Addressing more than
1,500 people at the 60th an-
nual dinner of Agudath Is-
rael of America at the New
York Hilton, Kennedy de-
clared: "I reject the incredi-
ble idea of putting Jorda-
nian warplanes, missiles
and bombs within minutes
of the Western Wall in
French Delegates
Boycott European
Parley in Israel
PARIS (JTA) — None of
e French members of the
ouncil of Europe's Politi-
cal Commission attended its
session in Jerusalem Tues-
day.
Unconfirmed reports say
the French government had
privately advised the five
French members of the
commission that their
presence in Jerusalem at
this time "would be in-
appropriate."
Israeli diplomatic sources
say that as far as they know,
the three deputies and two
senators did not attend for
"personal or political rea-
sons."

Jerusalem, the factories of
Tel Aviv, the boatyards of
Haifa, and the kibutzim in
Galilee."
Peace, Kennedy asserted,
"can never be bought by
compromising the security
of Israel, or by surrendering
even one inch of earth to
Judenrein."
Turning to the issue
of Soviet Jewry, Kennedy
said: "The Soviets may
close Hebrew classes or
confiscate books of
Jewish learning, but they
can never kill the idea of
freedom. I am proud that
we have worked together
to reunite divided
families and to free dissi-
dents and prisoners of
conscience from Soviet
tyranny."
Rabbi Moshe Sherer,
president of Agudath Israel
of America, presented the
organization's 1982
Humanitarian Award to
Kennedy.
Checking Saudis
TEL AVIV (ZINS) —
Haaretz military corre-
spondent Zeev Schiff says
Israeli reconnaissance over-
flights of Saudi airspace
are legitimate because
Saudi Arabia continues to
consider itself at war with
Israel.
He wrote that the U.S.
continues to send its planes
over Cuba.
Wolk, Hazner was ac-
cused of atrocities
against Jews in Riga
while an officer of the
Latvian "Self-Defense
Group" and the Nazi-
controlled police organ-
ization in Riga, the
Schutzmannschaft. He
was reported in 1980 to be
a resident of Dresden,
N.Y.
Loftus charged that Con-
gress was told "flat lies"
when it asked the Army in
1978 for information on 111
Nazi war criminals living in
the U.S. The Army claimed
it had no files on the sus-
pects. The General Account-
ing Office (GAO) reported in
1978 that it found that
Army intelligence agencies
had employed 21 reputed
Nazi war ceiminals as
"sources of information."
The OSI, headed by Allan
Ryan, was established by
the Justice Department to
investigate and prosecute
alleged Nazis living in the
U.S., many of them now
naturalized citizens. Last
week, the House Judiciary
Committee rejected by voice
vote a motion by Rep. M.
Caldwell Butler (R-Va.) to
end funding of the OSI,
B&H
INSTANT
which receives about $3
million a year.
The
counter-motion
which defeated the Butler
measure was led by Rep.
Frank who observed: "We
have made an historic
commitment to weed out
and deport war criminals as
long as they live. If we were
to stop hunting Nazi war
criminals it would send a
terrible signal to other na-
tions of the world."
American Jewish leaders
called on President Reagan
and the Congress to order
immediate investigations of
the allegations.
