2500 Join In Mass Protest Against Russ Anti-Semitism
New York — A silent procession of 2500 Jewish leaders rep¬ resenting 26 national and local Jewish organizations this week marchetl in protest to the U.S.S.R.'s United Nations mission here after hearing a message from President Johnson deploring Soviet anti-Semitism.
There four spokesmen for the group, joined by New York Senator Kenneth B. Keating, sought to present a list of 18 griev¬ ances charging "the denial to Sov¬
iet Jews of the basic institutions and facilities granted to other re¬ ligious and nationality groups with¬ in the Soviet Union."
The So-viet UN mission was locked and no one responded to the ring¬ ing of the bell. The four spokes¬ men, Theodore Bikel, vice presi¬ dent of the American Jewish Con¬ gress; Rabbi Abraham J. Heschel of the Jewish Theological Semin¬ ary; George Maislen, steering com¬ mittee chairman of the American Jewish conference on Soviet Jewry; and Philip Baum, conference co¬ ordinator, left the petition in the door and the demonstration dis¬ banded quietly.
The 2.500 marchers, who carried lighted "yahrzeit" candles "to sym¬ bolize remeonbrance not of the dead but of the living and to ex¬ press the mortal danger threaten¬ ing Jewish cultural and religious life in the USSR," walked to the Soviet headquarters following a meeting in Hunter (College Audi¬ torium addressed by Jewish lead¬ ers, by Senator Keating ahd by Robert F. Kennedy.
Mr. Kennedy read the telegram from President Johnson, which de¬ clared'in paff:

He said that "the moral judg¬ ment of millions of people through¬ out the world cannot be ignored by any government."
The delegates unanimously adop¬ ted at the meeting "a summons to action in behalf of our fellow Jews entrapped in the vast and terrifying Soviet zone of silence."
