Refusenik Moved; Soviet
Jews' Treatment Scored

Washington (JTA) — Losif Be-
renstein, an imprisoned Soviet re-
fusenik who was blinded in one
eye while in detention last De-
cember, has been transferred
from a hospital in a labor camp,
according to Berenstein's wife,
Fanya.
A friend outside the Soviet
Union with whom Fanya Berens-
tein made contact last week, told
the Union of Councils for Soviet
Jews (UCSJ) that "Soviet
authorities refused to tell the im-
prisoned refusenik's wife where
her husband has been sent."
Berenstein was arrested Nov.
12 while on a visit from his
hometown Kiev to nearby Nevog-
rad Vilinski, where he is believed
to have been lured by allegations
of financial misdeeds that had
been made against his aunt.
Charged with resisting arrest, he
was sentenced on Dec. 10 to four
years inrpisonment. While in
prison, Berenstein was reportedly
attacked with broken glass by two
cellmates.
In a related development, the
Soviet Union's treatment of Jews
was likened to South Africa's
apartheid policies by the head of
the United States delegation to
the United Nations Human
Rights Commission, Ambassador
Richard Schifter, at a meeting of
the committee in Geneva Friday.
Referring to the commission's
earlir discussion of "the phenom-
enon of discrimination and depri-
vation of rights on grounds of an-
cestry practiced in South Africa,"
the U.S. envoy declared that
"similar practices can be iden-
tified in the Soviet Union" where
"discrimination and persecution
is based solely on ancestry and
has been on the increase . . . In
fact, 1984 has been one of the
worst years in recent memory," he
said.
In Jerusalem, Jewish agency
chairman Leon Dulzin said that
he had "great hopes" that Jewish
emigration from the Soviet Union
will increase substantially "by
the end of the year." Only 88 Jews
were allowed to leave the USSR
last month.
Dulzin said that his hopes are
buoyed by the renewal of U.S.-
Soviet arms talks and other signs
of a thaw between the superpow-
ers. He said the Russian leader-
ship seems to be anxious to im-
prove relations with the U.S. and
a liberalization of their policy on
Jewish emigration would seem to
be "the cheapest way" to achieve a
better atmosphere.
Meanwhile, well placed sources
in Tel Aviv suggested that the
Soviets have taken the appoint-
ment of Max Kampelman, a Jew,
to head the U.S. delegation to the
Geneva arms talks, as a clear
message from the Reagan Ad-
ministration. The sources said- a
senior Soviet diplomat was heard
to refer to the appointment as a
"manifestation of Jewish influ-
ence" in -the U.S. - - —
Implicit in this, the sources be- _
lieve, is a possible Soviet assess-
ment that Kampelman's ap-
pointment signals the Adminis-
tration's interest in an allevation
of the restrictions imposed on
Jewish emigration from the
USSR.

But a number of Soviet Jewish
immigrants currently living in Is7
rael warned this week that it was
both foolish and dangerous to as-
sume that the change of leader-
ship in the Kremlin would end re ,-.
pressive measures against the
Jews in the USSR.
Addressing a press conference
in Jerusalem Monday, members 1
of the Israel Information Center'
on Soviet Jewry maintained that '
with respect to Jews, Gorbachev's
policies would be no different tha-, )
those of his predecessors. Yosef
Mendelevich, chairman of the
center and a former Prisoner of
Conscience, said the swift eleva-
tion of Gorbachev to the top Soviet
post following the death of
President Konstantin Chernenko,
is a sign that no changes are in theme
offing.
And in Washington last week, a
letter signed by 58 U.S. Senators,
and 175 members of the House
was sent to the White House urg-',
ing President Reagan to request
separate negotiations with they
Soviets on the Jewish emigration
issue.
The letter was a bipartisan ef-
fort undertaken by Sen. Daniel
Patrick Moynihan (D-NY) and
Rep. Jack Kemp (R-NY). Michi-
gan's two Democratic Senators,1
Donald Riegle and Carl Levir4J
were among the signatories.
In other news, B'nai B'rith In-
ternational said last week that it
is prepared to support a program'
of cooperation in which both the
Soviet Union and the United
States would stand to gain.
In a cable to Moscow, B'nai j
B'rith President Gerald Kraft
said that the appointment of
leader Mikhail Gorbachev
could greatly benefit both coun-
tries commercially, culturally,
and scientifically.
Three demonstrators protest-
ing Soviet treatment of Jews were
arrested Friday at Boston Uni-, 2
versity for disrupting a meeting
between university professors
and Soviet scholars.
Kenneth Sidman, 38, of Brook-
line, Mass. and two Brandeis
University students, Edward
Zuckoff, 21, and Thomas Moun-
tain, Jr., 24, were charged with
two counts each of disorderly con- ,
duct. "The Soviet representatives
at the university meeting are the
ones who deserve to be in prison,"
Sidman said. "They steal from
their own citizens their freedom
and that is the essence of human
)
life."
Sidman is a spokesman for the j
Jewish Defense League in the j
Boston area.
In New York charges of disor-
derly conduct against six women
who had demonstrated outside
the Soviet Mission to the United j
Nations last month were dropped'',
last- week:
The women were among seven
who protested the current waves
of arrests and trials of un- ,
authorized Jewish educators in
the USSR.
The women were stopped by the,
police when they tried to reach the
gate of the Mission in midtown
Manhattan. They were arrested
after they sat down in the middle,
of the street and unfurled an Is-
raeli flag.
