investigate and to bring to
justice those guilty of the
murder of a Jewish mother
and her two children in Aleppo recently.
The Anti-Defamation
League of B'nai B'rith said

country's 4,500 Jews." Abraham Foxman, ADL's nation-

. NEW YORK.(JTA) - The
running battle between a
Leningrad non-Jewish Russian academic who renounced his degree to protest official anti-Semitism
and the authorities has escalated with a barrage of articles, a joint letter and a telephoned KGB threat, according to the Student Struggle
for Soviet Jewry.
Dr. Ivan Martinov had announced recently he was giving up his candidate of pedagogical sciences degree
(equal to a PhD) because a
candidate status was still
held by Lev Korneyev of
Moscow, a notorious and
prolific anti-Semitic writer,
and Jewish exit applicants
were harassed, Soon thereafter, he and refuseriik
Yakov Gorodetsky, who
helped him collate data on
anti-Semitism, were; told by
the authorities to apply to
emigrate. The pair told
friends they smelled a trap.
' The Leningrad paper,
Smina, published an article
denying that anti-Semitism
was printed in the Soviet
press, asserting this was all
anti-Soviet propaganda by
foreign, "Zionists." Other
press articles attacked refuseniks and claimed that
those who sought to leave

Kiviat, who won the Silver
Medal in the 1912 U.S. Olympics when he finished second

Kiviat, 91, who will soon be
honored by the New York
Runners Club, will be one of
many torch bearers who will
carry the traditional torch

Angeles prior to the start of
the 1984 Olympic Games in
July.

According to the SSSJ, the
KGB phoned Martinov and
told him that the Smina article was the authorities' answer to him and Gorodetsky.
Martinov was also told that
there had been some thought
of giving the pair exit visas
but to do so now would make
them into heroes. Not only
were they refused permission to exit but were warned

Anti-Zionist Poster Example
Of Soviet Campaign Of Hate
In the smoldering ruins of a home labelled "Lebanon," an Arab child lies dead; the bayonet piercing his
heart is emblazoned "Israel" and "Made in USA."
According to the Student Struggle for Soviet Jewry,
whose Philadelphia chapter obtained the poster, entitled "Shame on the Criminals!," it is but one in an
"anti-Zionist" series widely available in the USSR
which seeks to inflame anti-semitic hate.
