Tanz- man of Oak Park, national director of the Metropolitan Young Israel Council's Bone Marrow Crisis Project. "A bone marrow transplant is the only cure," Tanzman said. He said donors must be 18 to 55 years of age, with no history of hepatitis, cancer, AIDS or heart disease. Jewish donors are sought because "matching bone marrow seems to be unique to ethnic groups." The odds of finding a match within the group — 10,000 to one — are much greater in the general population. "This is one thing on which all Jews can unite because it's to save a life," said Rabbi Syme. Singal and his committee will be calling the various sisterhoods and brotherhoods to get names of potential donors, which then will help determine how many techni- cians will be needed to con- duct the screening. Potential donors agree to have their tissue type listed in a national registry. New York (JTA) — Five Jewish activists last week presented to three of the 10 Jewish deputies to the newly elected Soviet Congress a document which calls for the creation of an independent commission to study the pro- blem of anti Semitism. The text also called for the registration of all Jewish organizations, according to the National Conference on Soviet Jewry. This is the first time that the Soviet political leadership has received documents from Jewish activists requiring a formal response. Among the requests made a recent conference of Jewish activists in Riga, was a call for specifically Jewish deputies to that body. The delegates said, for instance, that representation from the Jewish Autonomous Region in Birobidjan is insufficient because only one-half of one percent of Soviet Jews live there. Of major concern at the con- ference was the absence of full recognition of Jewish groups by the central Moscow government. Cultural centers and schools are accredited by local authorities. The conference allotted con- siderable time to reports on aggressive anti-Semitic ac- tivities by various local groups, including mention of the "lbetotalers Movement," "Moldavian Karelians," and "Zionology." The delegates to the con- ference disparaged using Israeli visas to emigrate to the United States and the refugee transit camp in Ladispoli, Italy.
