Jewry "Trag
In Russia Ic Paradox
BY MICHAEL FEINSTEIN
It seems that the Russian . official attitude toward\its Jewish citizens is ftalight with contraiiUctlon, accord¬ ing to Yaacov Sharett, the" former secretaiy ot the Is¬ raeli Embassy in Russia. Sharett expressed these views in an interview fol¬ lowing a speech at the Jew- . ish Center last week.
On the one hand they have
f I done all possible to destroy
¦» Jewish identity including
taking away  synagogues,
" schools and everything that
might periwtuate Judaism as
a religion and way oMMe.
Their hope seems to be that
in a generation or two Jews
' will be assimilatedintoRus-
slan society.
BUT ON the other hand, paracfaxlcally, the Jew Is stamped as such on his Iden¬ tification card, a^act which perpetuates hlS; Identity as well as discrimination and
Anti-semitism. They try to make him assimilate, yet they will not let him, Shar¬ ett said.
Sharett stded that he knew of cases triiere Jews were deliberately given failing marks on universtty en¬ trance exams in an attempt to keep their attendance in line with tiie population.
THE JUNE war has had its good-and bad effects on Sov¬ iet Jewry. Ifbas given Jews a tremendous sense of pride, but at the same time em- migration lias been stopped and a fear of some sort of reprisal has devi^loped. ' Sharett said that the Rus¬ sians are terribly sensitive to public opinion on this issue. In their attempt to appeafi civilized they do not wanti- it to appear that they allow dlscrlndnatlon. The outrage and concern shown by Jews in the U.S. does not go unnoticed in the Krem¬ lin, he said.
Pres. Tito Interferes^ In UN Efforts
JERUSALEM, (JTA)-- The Foreign Ministry charg- ' ed this veek that Ij'resldent Tito of Yugoslavia was In¬ terfering with the efforts of United Nations agencies to profnote a permanent peace lime Middle East and warn- ^ that his "one-sided" in- i&)tives may have just the opposite effect.
The Foreign Ministry statement, In reply to quest¬ ions here, referred to Mar¬ shal Tito's receitt visits to India, Egypt and othe coun¬ tries where he is r portedly , attempting to promote sup¬ port for a Middle j:ast peace . formula that was rejected by the IMted Nations last Jun^. ItMdls for Israeli withdrawn* to the pre-June 5, 1967,*^ontiers in return for an fstab declaration df non-belll^rency.
MARSHAL TITO has ho authority in this matter, the Foreign ''Ministry said, lie- cause hd'basnb international status.
The United Nations interr ests In the Middle East sit¬ uation have been entrusted by the Security CouncU to Ambassador Jarring and other U.N. ^agencies ctiarged with promoting a permanent peace based on secure arid recognized lx>undaries, \
