and the leadership of the
Representative Council of
Major French Jewish
Organizations (CRIF).
Observing that Begun's
"crime" in the eyes of the
Soviet authorities was his
demand to- be allowed to
emigrate to Israel and the
fact that he taught the He-
brew language, Berman
said: "It. is only fitting that
the various Jewish com-
munities should cooperate
on an issue as essential as
the situation of Soviet
Jeirry and the fate of the
Jewish activists."
Berman met with CRIF
president Theo Klein to
consider the- possibilities
of increased cooperation
and coordination be=
tween the two represen-
tative JeVvi§h organiza-
tions.
In a related development,
the Soviet Mission to the
United Nations kept its
doors locked last Friday
when two officials of the
Anti-Defamation League of
Bnai Brith tried to deliver a
letter protesting the 12-
year sentence imposed on
"refusnik" Iosif Begun.
The letter to - Oleg
Troyanovsky, Soviet Am-
ba.ssador to the United Na-
tions, was left at the mis-
sion's front door by Nathan
I. Nagler, chairman of the
ADL's New York regional
board, and Steven Fadem,
chairman of the regional
board's international af-
fairs committee.
Carol Lister, director of
the New York regional
office, said the two ADL of-
ficials had been informed by
New York police that-Soviet
officials told them the letter
would not be accepted.
The letter was sub-
sequently picked up by a
police official and forwarded
to New York City police in-
telligence where a file is
kept of mail refuied by the
Soviet Mission.

FCC Checks Kansas Station
WASHINGTON (JTA) —
The Federal Communica-
tions Commission (FCC)
has sent a field team to in-
vestigate a hatemongering '
radio station in Dodge City,
Kan., it was announced by
Sen. Robert Dole (R-Kan.).
Radio station KTTL has
broadcast programs urging
its listeners to kill Jews and
Blacks. The racist pro-
gramming aired by the sta-
tion has focused attention
on the renewal of the sta-
tion's broadcasting license.
The FCC is expected to take
some action in six to eight
weeks, Dole said.
The two-man FCC team
was supported by personnel
from the FBI and Kansas
state agencies. The.one-day,
on-site inspection last week
was ordered following all&
gations that- listeners did
not have access to the sta-
tion's. public files and that
potential access was shut off
by intimidation, Dole said.
The team conducted "a
standard technical in-
spection" of KTTL's
facilities, including a
search of the public files,
the Senator reported. He
said that initial reports
from the FCC in Wash-
ington indicate the inves-
tigating team was
allowed full access and
treated cordially.
Petitions and objections
have been filed against the
station by the Anti-
-

Wolpe Pushes
Africa-Israel
Link at Buffet
WASHINGTON —
Michigan Congressman
Howard Wolpe staged • an
exhibition of buffet-table
diplomacy Monday evening
as he hosted an informal
dinner at a ranch house in a
Virginia suburb of the capi-
tal.
Among the Democratic
representative's guests was
Gnassingbe Eyadema,
president of the West Afri-
can nation of Togo. Wolpe,
who heads the House
Foreign Affairs Subcom-
mittee on Africa, used the
occasion to urge Eyadema to
extend diplomatic recogni-
tion to Israel.
The Togo leader was re-
portedly noncommittal on
re-establishing ties with Is-
rael, which were severed by
most African nations, fol-
lowing the Ye-n Kippur
War. Zaire and Liberia are
the only two nations that
have thus far re-established
the link.
