WASHINGTON, (WNS)- President Carter has promised to continue seeking the release of dissidents, including Jewish activists, still in Soviet prisons. "We have not forgotten other human rights activists in the Soviet Union who are being punished .or imprisoned," he told a White' House press conference Apr. 30. Carter said he had personally approved the agreement whereby five Soviet dissidents . were released from prison in exchange for two Soviet spies held in the ~ U:S. He said the names were agreed upon after long negotiations. The five—Eduard Kuznetsov and Mark Dym- shits,' both of whom had been convicted in the 1970 Leningrad hijacking trial; Alek- sandr Ginzburg, a leading Soviet human rights activist ; Georg'i Vins, a Soviet Baptist leader,'and Valentin Moroz, a Ukrainian nationalist—arrived ■ in New York Apr. 27, aboard a* Soviet airliner which then took back to Moscow -the two convicted M 31st Independence Day JERUSALEM (WNS)- Family gatherings, picnics and crowded beaches rather than rallies and parades marked Israel's 31st Independence Day May 2, the first at peace with its friost powerful neighbor, Egypt. Premier Menachem Begin, in a radio address, said that the treaty - was achieved after the- "very difficult" events" of the past few months' when "doubts were cast on our dedication to . peace. Baseless charges were laid. We had to hear a condemnation not only from -foreigners but also, and even ' more painful, from some of ' our people. But truth will always prevail." However, Begin stressed that Israel's withdrawal from the Sinai was not a precedent and there' would be no further withdrawal- from occupied . territory in exchange for an overall Middle East peace. He said Israel will not leave the Golan Heights and it will maintain its settlements on the West Bank and the Gaza Strip. Gush Emunim and its supporters held an 11-kilometer march xm the West Bank in which, Gush said, some 60,000 people participated. There were some clashes with West Bank Arabs. A curfew was placed • onBeirZeit, near Ramallah, " after hundreds of students displayed PLO flags and posters, stoned passing cars and barricaded the entrance of the nearby Jewish settlement of Neve Tsuf. During the violence which ensued, one student was shot in the chest.. ' In his radio talk, Begin appealed to Israelis to improve - the quality of life in Israel to attract more immigrants, especially from the West. Noting that some 50,000 Soviet Jews will be leaving the USSR this year, he said that if a similar number from the West came "we •could reach 100,000 a year— which would be the annual minimum." He promised to continue efforts to secure the release of all Prisoners of Zion still in Soviet jails and so achieve free exit rights for all Soviet Jews as well as those in Syria and the Falashas in Ethiopia.' Leon Dulzin, chairman of the -World Zionist Organization and Jewish Agency Executives, called on Israelis to "maintain" the peace now achieved and to "unite in building it. Let us hope that we will now be able to attend ' with less pressure to some of the most urgent Zionist tasks which have, until now been postponed or only partially attended to." He said these were aliya aimed to doubling .Israel's Jewish population "with in the coming generation," bridging the "social gap and'advancing Jewish '■•' education abroad. Independence Day opened officially late May 1 with the kindling of 13 beacons in the presence of the seven Jewish Prisoners of Conscience who had just arrived from the Soviet Union. Usually thereare 12 beacons. The 13th was for Israel's sacrifice for peace. Independence Day is always preceded by Memorial Day for the war dead. At ceremonies on Mt. Herzl in Jerusalem May 1, Defense Minister Ezer Weizman, declared that Israel's soldiers had not 'died "for the sake of victory alone, but rather for the end ~ to all wars and for the advent of peace." At military cemeteries and military bases throughout the country be- . reaved families gathered along with representatives of the government and national institutions for solemn memorial services. - In Washington, Israeli Ambassador and Mrs. Ephraim Evron hosted a reception in honor of Israel's Independence. Representatives of more than two dozen countries attended. Representing ' the White House were President' Carter's counselor, Robert Lipshutz; Special Ambassador to the Middle. East Robert Strauss and special Presidential assistants Edward Sanders and-Gerald Rafshoon. The State Department was represented by Ambassador (CONTINUED ON PAGE 10) spies. The State Department stressed Apr. 30, that it did not consider the exchange of five dissidents for the two convicted spies as equating the political dissidents with spies. "This was a specific case and a specific objective was reached," Department, spokesman Hodding Carter declared. President Carter at his press conference also said he would like to see both the' Soviet Union and the People's Republic of China receive most-favored-nation trade benefits "if it can be done in compliance with existing law." This was obviously a reference to the Jackson-Vanik- Amendment which requires improved emigration procedures . before the trade benefits can be granted to a Communist country. Hodding Carter told reporters'that the question of most-favored-nation treatment for the,USSR is being "treated at the highest levels" and being examined "by a number of Congressional leaders''' but no con- LcJ^Qns^a^l^jjj^ache^. "But Sen. ftenry* Jackson (D. Wash.), co-author of .the amendment, told a Soviet Jewry Rally in New York Apr. 29 which was attended by,Dymshits and Kuznetsov, that the amendment must stay in effect until all who wish to leave the Soviet Union are allowed to do so. "I want you to know that many of those who are now urging repeal because the 'numbers (of emigrants) have been going up, were urging repeal last year because they said the numbers ' were going down," he said. However, Rep. Al Ullman (D. Ore.), chairman of the powerful House Ways * and Means Committee, predicted that President Carter would find a way of giving the Soviets most-favored- nation treatment. Meanwhile, Israeli Premier Menachem' Begin has'' praised President'Carter for ' helping secure the release of Dymshits and Kuznetsov, as well as five othier persoiis jailed in the Leningrad hijacking trial who were released earlier. Begin was on hand Apr. 29 to welcome in a joyous emotional ceremony . the five—Vulf Zalmanson, Kuznetsov's brother-in-iaw Boris Penson, Anatoly Alt- man, Hillel Butman and Leib Knokh. The ceremony was repeated the next day wben Kuznetsov and Dymshits arrived. In both ceremonies,a high light was when Absorption Minister David Levy' presented the former Soviet Prisoners of Conscience with their identity cards, making them Israeli citizens.
