Mayor Andre Chouraqui, had been invited to the World Conference on Poetry by its chairman, former Senegalese President Leopold Senghor. Morocco's refusal to grant them entry

Election Day
Tuesday, November 6
tions are underway, the
United States will refrain
from raising our human
rights concerns," Shultz told
the Leadership Assembly of
the National Conference on
Soviet Jewry (NCSJ) at the
Capital Hilton Hotel.
"If improvement in Soviet
human rights performance
". continues as in the past to be
nothing more than the cyni-'"
cal manipulation of human
lives for political purposes,
then the Soviets cannot expect that international—arid
internal—pressures for better performance will stop'
growing."
Shultz said the' Soviet
Union pays a "large and
steadily increasing" price of
censure and isolation for its
human rights  violations.
"We shall continue to do all
in our power "to see that the
price continues to increase,"
he stressed.
The Secretary of State was
presented with the ;NCSJ's
Humanitarian Award by
Kenneth Bialkin, president
of the Anti-Defamation
League of B'nai B'rith and
chairman of the Conference
of (Presidents of Major
American Jewish Organizations. The award was a shofar mounted on wood with
the inscription in Hebrew
and English: "Sound the
Great Shofar of Freedom."
Bialkin noted that Shultz
has made the struggle for Soviet Jewry ."his own" and it
has become a "fundamental
touchstone of American foreign policy."
