Soviet Jewish Chemist Jailed for 'Slander'
NEW YORK (JTA) — Dr.
Yuri Tamopolsky of Khar-
kov was sentenced to three
years' imprisonment for
"anti-Soviet slander," the
Student Struggle for Soviet
Jewry (SSSJ) reported.
The 46-year-old chemist
was arrested in March. He
staged a 40-day hunger
strike last fall for an exit
visa to Israel.
In a related development,
Anatoly Shcharansky has
informed his family that his
health is somewhat better
and that he is looking for-
ward to a visit from his
brother which was cancel-
led in June but is now re-
scheduled for this week, the
National Conference on
Soviet Jewry reported.
In Washington, the Se-
nate has approved a reso-
lution by Sen. Carl Levin
(D-Mich.) expressing the
sense of the Senate that
refusenik Ida Nudel be
allowed by the Soviet
Union to emigrate to Is-
rael.
"I am very gratified that
the Senate has approved
without dissent my request
appealing to the Soviet
Union for the release of this
valiant and much-abused
refusenik," Levin said.
Levin introduced the
resolution on April 27, Ida
Nudel's 50th birthday. It

was approved by the Senate
June 13.
Meanwhile, the recently
established Anti-Zionist
Committee of the Soviet
Public will open branches in
major cities throughout the
USSR in addition to Moscow
where it is headquartered,
the Soviet Community
Party newspaper Pravda
reported.
Pravda said the com-
mittee, chaired by Gen.
David Dragunsky, the
highest ranking Jewish
officer in the Red Army,
will operate "regional
and provincial offices"
and organize activities
"in certain cities to fight
the spread of Zionist
propaganda."
Pravda sharply attacked
Israel and "world Zionism,"
charging that they "used
methods similar to those of
the Nazis." The Communist
Party organ accused Israel
of "operating concentration
camps in which Arabs,
Palestinians and Lebanese
are held as the Nazis used to
do."
It also was learned that
the claim by the Soviet
government-sponsored
Anti-Zionist Committee
that all Jews who wanted to
leave the USSR have done
so "is just a lie," it was
stressed by a former Mos-
cow Jew, who now lives in
Israel.
"I am here and my par-
ents are there (in the Soviet
Union," Igor Tufeld, a 25-
year-old Moscow native,
said. Tufeld is in the United
States, under the auspices
of the National Conference
on Soviet Jewry, to seek
help in getting his parents
out of the USSR and to urge
the Amereican public,
"especially American Jews,
to intensify their efforts" on
behalf of Soviet Jewry.
The extra push is
needed now in response
to drastic cuts in Jewish
emigration from the
Soviet Union and to the
recent formation of the
Soviets' official Anti-
Zionist Committee,
Tufeld said. "It is impor-
tant to let the Soviet
authorities know that the
Soviet Jews are not for-
gotten."
Tufeld's parents, Vla-
dimir and Izolda, first
applied for exist visas in
1977 and were refused on
the grounds that they know
state secrets. Vladimir
Tufeld worked as an
engineer in a Moscow fac-
tory where he had a security
clearance.
The elder Tufelds are
both in poor health, and
their medical care has been
impaired by repeated inter-

Former Agent Details Aid
Given to Barbie by U.S.
LONDON — A detailed
account of American efforts
to 'shield Nazi war criminal
Klaus Barbie from French
authorities after World War
II was provided this week by
former U.S. intelligence
officer Eugene Kolb.
Kolb, in a television
interview broadcast by the
BBC (British Broadcasting
Corp.) Monday, said Barbie
was one of hundreds of
Nazis aided in their flight
from Europe by U.S. intelli-
gence agents. The U.S.
Counter-Intelligence Corps,
the main American intelli-
gence agency in Europe
after the war, believed the
Nazis would provide usefull
information.
Barbie, called
the
"Butcher of Lyon" because
of his role as Gestapo chief
in Lyon, France from 1942
to 1944, was extradited to
France in February from
Bolivia, where he had been
living since 1951. He is
awaiting trial on charges of
killing hundreds of people
and rounding up thousands
more to be shipped to Nazi
concentration camps.
Kolb said that when
American officials first
questioned Barbie in
1947, they knew he was
wanted for his Gestapo
activities. But Kolb said
they thought Barbie was
wanted for minor crimes.
American agents repor-
tedly set up Barbie and
his family in the southern
German town of Au-
gsberg,,complete with an
office and a secretary.
According to Kolb, Earl
Browning, a regional chief
in the intelligence corps,
saw Barbie's name on a list
of agents in 1947 and or-
dered him arrested. Barbie
was questioned and freed a
few months later, returning
to work for the U.S. gov-
ernment.
In 1951, the Americans
decided to stop using Barbie
as an agent but Kolb told
the BBC he was not turned
over to the French because
it was felt that French in-
telligence agencies had
been penetrated by corn-
munist agents. It was then,
that with the aid of U.S.
agents, 'Barbie made his
way to Bolivia.
