NEW YORK (JTA) — Mikhail Kliachkin and Viktor

reserve duty, have- been released after two months'
service, Jewish sources reported this week.
JERUSALEM (WNS) - Elias Nakhleh, an Arab
Deputy Speaker of the Knesset and a member of the
Labor Party, has met with Greek Catholic Archbishop
Joseph Ray a to urge him to "tone down" his campaign
aimed at forcing a reversal of Premier Golda Meir's
government's refusal to allow the former residents of
the Lebanese border villages of Baram and Ikrit to
return to the site of their former homes. The villages
were razed in 1948 for security reasons. Nakhleh, like
some other Arab Christian leaders, feels that Ar¬
chbishop Raya's "strident" tactics may make it more
difficult for the government to reverse its decision.
Nakhleh said he would raise the issue of the border
villages at party meetings.

' pealr outlined Israel'sprogressflh the past 25 years..
Stating that with .the observance of Rosh Hashanah,

niversary year, Dubinsky added "As Israel has gone

Jewish community and Jewish communities

Jewish Leaders Express Anger,*
Concern Over Soviet Fees
NEW YORK (WNS) -
News that exit fees charged
Jews wishing to leave the
Soviet Union had been in¬
creased up to $20,000 based
, on education brought
protests from American
Jewish leaders and demands
that the new fees, which
made it virtually impossible
for Jews to emigrate from
the Soviet Union, be can¬
celled. ' i
Mrs. Faye Schenck,
Hadassah president,
charged that the Soviet
Union has started on "new
forms of blackmail and
extortion. Richard Maass,
chairman of the National
Conference on Soviet Jewry,
said the civilized world
"must unequivocably
condemn the selling of
Jewish bodies and brains by
Soviet authorities." Rabbi
Gilbert Klaperman,
chairman of the Greater
New York Conference on
Soviet Jewry, called upon
the U.S., the United Nations
and   other   international
-bodies-to'join in demanding,
"an end to these violations of
human rights and decency."^
Rabbi Israel Miller,
president of the American
Zionist' Federation, con¬
demned the "continuous
harassment" of Jews in
Russia and appealed to the
Soviet government to end
"these new measures im¬
mediately." Bertram H.
Gold, executive vice-
president of the American
Jewish Committee, said the
new policy was one of
"holding people for ransom"
and a "new and cynical form
of harassment." Mrs. Hester
Beckman, co-chairman of
the American Jewish
Committee on Soviet Jewry
charged that "this placing of
dollar price on the right to
leave" was another
illustration of "the con¬
tinuing precariousness of
Russian Jewry's existence."
David M. Blumberg,
president of B'nai B'rith,
described as "an incredible
form of extortion" Soviet
requirements for exit fees
and asked how the Soviet
government could "justify
making hostages of its
citizens, exacting a ransom
when they seek to exercise a
basic    human ' right    to
emigrate freely, a right
guaranteed by the
Declaration of Human
Rights." The Academic
Committee on Soviet Jewry
said the reports on the new
exit fees indicated "an
inhumane disregard for the
distress * caused to»
distinguished colleagues,
who would not want to leave
in the first place if they were
not aware of a whole range *of..;
discriminations against
Jews."
The American Party And Its Presidential
Candidate Labeled Tools Of Birch Society
NEW YORK (JTA)— The   Arnold .Forster,   general   Thomas J. Anderson,
B'nai B'rith Anti-
Defamation League this
week labeled the American
Party and its Presidential
candidate, Rep. John G. Sch¬
mitz (R.Calif.), "political
tools" of the John Birch
Society and charged all three
with "approving and
distributing anti-Semitism."
counsel of the ADL, charged
that the Birch Society "has
succeeded in its takeover
and is now embarked on
using the American Party to
step up Birch activities and
shore up its dwindling
membership." He said that
both Schmitz and the Vice
Presidential     candidate,
J. Anderson, are
members of the Birch
Society National .Council.
Forster also claimed that
"extremism or anti-
Semitism were key themes
of literature" distributed at
the party convention in
Louisville Aug. 5. According
