Khassin will visit Detroit next week as part of her nine- city North American cam- paign for the release of Soviet Jews. Khassin will provide the latest information on refuseniks in the Soviet Union, and an update on the situation of Soviet Jews now in Israel. She will speak to the public 8 p.m. Wednesday at the Maple/Drake Jewish Com- munity Center. Khassin provided a conduit for aid to prisoners, traveled to remote locations to gather evidence towards their legal defense and for campaigns for Western public support, and became the recognized expert in Soviet criminal law for political cases.

Her Detroit visit is being sponsored by he Friends of the Soviet Jewry Education and Information Center and the Israel Programs Center. Super Sunday Chairs Named Howard J.

Herman Branover, a pro- fessor at Ben-Gurion Univer- sity of the Negev and chair- man of Shamir, the associa- tion of Jewish religious pro- fessionals from the Soviet Union, told reporters after the brief Oval Office ceremony that the Haggadah was an appropriate gift to Reagan.
