The fate of the Jews in the Soviet Union, where matzoh was scarce on the whole, marred an otherwise happy mood as all Jews — even those in the USSR who Were allowed to do — marked the traditional Festival ot Liberation. American Jews were interested, additionally, in their men and women hi the United States armed services. The National Jewish Welfare Board reported that the largest number of Amer¬ ican Jews in uniform since the signing of the Korean truce in 1953 were set to celebrate Pass¬ over in South Viet Nam and at more than 600 other overseas and United States Army, Air Force and Naval tastallatlons.

No- vosti told the JTA that 90 tons of matzoh had been distributed this year in Moscow. New York sources which received a report from Moscow last week, after the matzoh baking had! been com¬ pleted, gave the total ifigure for matzoh distribution ih Moscow this year as "no more than 40 tons." ICaplan announced at the same time, according to the Herald Tribune dispatch from Moscow, that the Moscow yeshiva has now been reopened.

Sweeney in a speech before the Cleveland Council on Soviet Anti-Semitism Sunday, condemned what he described as the "long - term anti - reUgious campaign in the Soviet Union." Ohio's Congressman at Large went on to say that he felt that "during the past several years this campaign has grown in ta- tensity and that aU religions, ta^ eluding the Jewish religion, are being subject to increasing re^ strictions ..." LATER IN HIS speech Sweeney noted, that recent actloiis of the Soviet Government encourage those that condemn anti-Semi¬ tism, but stated this prejudice was still the order of the day ta the USSR. Sweeney urged the United (coatliigtd ea{|M(|« i) early action to restrict sale of firearms. Abraham Kradltor, chairman of the JWV National Executive Committee, recalled that his organization had some ttaie ago urged that new laws be adopted to control the sale of firearms. After the murder of President Kennedy by I^ee Harvey Oswald, who used a mail-order rifle, the JWV noted that even radical right-wtag groups were able to buy weapons—Including surplus military arms—with no apparent restriction ta most states. HE POINTED OUT that "if the slayer of Rabbi Adler had beei)^ subject to applications for certification and police permits, the Rabbi's Ufe would have been spared. Here was a young man, tragically psychotic—with a rec¬ ord of mental treatment—^who was able simply to walk into a store and buy a gun." Kradltor said that evidence ac¬ cumulated during recent Con¬ gressional hearings revealed the extent to which members of the Ku Mux Klan are armed. He said the same applies to the "stormtroopers" of the American Nazi Party who have been photo- graphed with firearms. He cited also th^ "Mtaute Men" and "similar irresponsible, radical groups." , Bonds To Pay $30,000,000 To Holders On May 1 the, first issue (In¬ dependence Issub) of State of Israel Coupon Bonds wlU come due. More than $30,000,000 will be paid out by The State.of Israel to coupon bond holders throu^ out the country on this one day. "This will be one ofvthe largest sums ever paid at one time by the Government of Israel in meeting any of its 'financial ob¬ Ugations," reported Mrs. Irvtag Seff, Redemption chairman for . the Columbus State of Israel Bonds. SHE ADDED that during the period from May 1, 1963, when the redemption of matured Israel Bonds first began, through the end of 1965, the State of Israel had repaid in prindpai ahd interest a total of 5107,- 745,300 to holders of Israel Bonds which reached their maturity date during that period. "American economic aid through Israel Bonds is retumtag dividends not only in terms of dollars, but also in progress and achievement on the part of tile people of Israel who are xistag I Israel Bond tavestments to build a vital democracy on solid eco¬ nomic fpundatlons," Mrs. Seff declared. "IN 1951 Israel's population was 1,400,000. By the end of 1965 it had reached 2,600,000. Isrtiel Bonds played a key role in ab-' sorbing 70O,0OQ immigrants who entered during that period. In announdng the 300,000 goal for the year, Mrs. Seff, described some of Israel's key economic ob¬ jectives which Israel Bonds must help the country realize. She potated out tljat Israel's tadustry must be broadened beyond its present emphasis on processtag conventional raw materials wliidi are imported, to the pro¬ duction of synthetics based more dU«ctly on the country's own re¬ sources. This will requtoe a great deal of capital investment and re¬ search, she noted, but will help immeasurably in brtaging Israel closer to its ultimate goal of economic tadependence. HEBE IN COLUMBUS, ap¬ proximately $240,000 ta Coupon Bonds will be redeemed on May 1. For tJie past l5 years Israel Coupon Bond Holders have been receiving taterest on their tavest- ' ments twice each year. Now, with the prindpai for their ta- vestment in Israel Bonds betag re¬ tumed to them "we would Uke to see them re-Invest this prtacipal ta new State of Israel Bonds, and once morel show their suppiut of the State of Israel through Israel Bonds," Mrs. Seff said.
