A::hMA-a& < -,'''^''A^yj:-AA- Soviets' New Written Emigration Code Analyzed By Soviet Jewry Movement NEW YORK (JTA) - The recent Societ Union's codification -<oi emigration procedures was criticized as a "smokescreen" by some Soviet Jewry movement leaders contacted by the Jewish Telegraphic Agency. Others, however, saw some positive development in the new regulations. The regulations, to take effect Jan. 1, define acceptable conditions for ? emigration and temporary travel, differing significantly from the departure from the USSR "for personal reasons." It is the first time the Soviets officially have recorded their rules for application to emigrate and, in turn, grounds for rejections. Basis Of Consideration The decree states that visa applications will be considered based on "reunification with members of one's family," meetings with close relative?, marriage, visiting seriously ailing relatives, resolving inheritance issues The one-woman show, Hannah Senesh, starring Lori Wilner, will be performed at the Jewish Center on Sunday, Dec. 21. Critically Acclaimed Play To Be Performed At Center The Leo Yassenoff Jewish Center announces that the original New York stage production of the critically acclaimed play Hannah Senesh will be performed at: the' Jewish Center for two performances only, on Sunday, Dec. 21,at 2p.m. and, performance "extraordinary" in its personification of Senesh. Hannah Senesh, the person, survives today much as does Anne Frank, in her diaries and in her poems. (CONTINUED ON PAGE 1?) current procedure in two respects: having no provision for repatriation. and a new rule for quick application for an emergency visa to visit ailing relatives. The regulations, which the Soviets claim will "easfethe" process, is known officially as a Decree of the USSR Council of Ministers. The new codification contains an addendum of 11 provisions to the Statute on Entry into the Union of Soviet Socialist Re- publics andDeparture from the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, which was approved Sept. 22, 1970 with 19 provisions or "points." It is stated that the new section is added in "consideration of application for entry" into the USSR and for 7:30 p.m; The staging of Hannah Senesh represents the first time the Center has brought to Columbus a professional New York Off- Broadway theatre production. Hannah Senesh is presented by the Center's Cultural Arts and Adult Services Departments. Chairing the event will be Leon Friedberg, chairman of the Cultural Arts Department, and Carole Genshaft, Adult Services chairwoman. Funding for the program comes from the Columbus Jewish Foundation and the Joint Pnh gram of the Ohio Humanities Council and the Ohio Arts Council. This one-woman show, starring Lori Wilner, has been well received by critics who have highly praised Winner's performance as Hannah Senesh, a young Jewisb woman tragically executed by the Nazis for her heroic effort to free Hungarian Jews in World War II. The story itself haB been termed- a "powerful jyqrk," a "touching portrait of a brave young woman" that is a theatrical tour de force. The New York Times, touched by what it termed a "poignant and fantastically moving experience," called Wilner's Federation's'Night Flight' To Take Off December 6 "Night Flight takes off this Saturday, Dec. 6, at 8 p.m. at Temple Israel," said Barbara Wasserstrom, co-chair with Jim Wasserstrom for the Columbus Jewish Federation event. "Night Flight will provide the opportunity for? the Young Men's Division, Young Women's Division and the Young Jewish Professionals to meet and enjoy a festive and fun-filled evening — not just your 'plane' old good' time," added Jim Wasserstrom. Highlights for this special Night Flight include an orchestra for dancing and entertainment by comic and singer, Danny Tadmore. Born in Tel Aviv in 1948, Tad- more founded the English Musical Theatre after serving as a lieutenant in the Israeli army during the Yom Kippur War. He has entertained audiences throughout the United States, South America and Europe, The cost for the evening is $15 per perspn, Hors d'oeuvres and dessert bar will be featured and dietary laws will be observed, • ...'■■ A' 7 777f The Wasserstroms stressed that "first class reservations" can be made by phoning the Columbus Jewish Federation, 237-7686. Danny Tadmore Night Flight Committee members, in addition to Barbara and Jim Wasserstrom, are: Randall Arndt, Neal Barkan, James Brisk, Samuel Edelman, Sharon Edelman, Shelly Igdaloff, Dawn Schneir; Randy Sokol and Nancy Wasserman.

Decisions by emigration authorities are to be made within a month unless "further consideration" is necessary, when the waiting period could extend to six months. The decree states that denials will be explained, but no provisions were listed, entitling an appeal of a rejection. Reappli- cation is allowed six months after denial. The state may deny emigration for a number of reasons: an applicant's familiarity with state secrets; if the basic rights and legal interests of other Soviet citizens are affected; unfulfilled obligations to the state or any organizations; legal grounds for criminal charges; conviction of a crime; if false information was given by the applicant; if the person abroad inviting (CONTINUED ON PAGE 15) Israel Confirms Supplying Arms To Iran At American Request JERUSALEM (JTA) - Israel confirmed last week that it supplied $12 million of U.S. arms to Iran "in response to an American re-, quest," but emphatically denied knowing that any of the funds paid by Iran were transferred to the Contras, the Nicaraguan rebel force supported by the Reagan Administration in their attempt to overthrow the Sandiiiista government of Nicaragua. Israel's policy and the heed to keep it secret from Knesset members was vigorously defended by Vice Premier and Foreign Min-. ister Shimon Peres in a lengthy statement to a Knesset angered and dismayed by the government's clandestine actions. Israel's official acknowledgement contained in a Statement released here shortly after midnight Nov. 26, local time, differed,, in several particulars from the statements made several hours' earlier by U.S. Attorney General Edwin Meese, at a White House press conference. Meese said that some $10-$30 million of the money Iran paid for arms received from the U.S. was deposited by "representatives of Israel" in Swiss bank accounts set up by the Contras. He said the money was the amount Iran paid over the $12 million cost of the weapons, which were transferred from the Department of Defense. Meese referred several times to "representatives of Israel" in that connection and promptly corrected himself after referring once to "representatives of the Israel government." , Peres, who was Prime Minister when the transactions with Iran occurred, addressed the Knesset in response to seven urgent agenda motions on the issue, severely critical of: the government. Several were introduced by leftist factions, which were the. most vociferous in their condemnation. But there was strong criticism as well from Labor and Likud MKs. Only Yuval Neeman, leader of the ultra-nationalist Tehiya Party unconditionally sup- Holocaust Museum Architect Selected WASHINGTON (JTA) - James Ingo Freed, of I.M. Pei and Partner, has been selected as the design architect for the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, it was announced here by Arthur Rosenblatt, the museum's director. Freed, 56, was the principal design architect for the newly completed Jacob Javits Exposition and Convention Center in New York City. Born in Essen, Germany, he and his family came to the U.S. in 1940. "The Holocaust in its enormity defies language and art, yet both must be used to tell the tale, the tale that must be told," Elie Wiesel, chairman of the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Council, said.- "In James Freed we have found an architect who can master this unique challenge." The Memorial Council is conducting a $100 million fundraising campaign for the museum which will be located on government property adjoining the National Mall. The museum will house a Hall of Witness, telling the story of the Holocaust; a memorial Hall of Remembrance; exhibition halls; a Holocaust library and archives; a Learning Center, and two theaters. Rosenblatt said that plans now call for the museum to be completed in 1989. ported the government's position, Peres Defends U.S. Objectives Flaying his critics as "hypocrites ... who presume to speak in the name of a lofty morality," Peres strongly defended ttie Reagan Administration's objectives which, according to Meese, were to end the Iran- Iraq war, reduce Iranian support of terrorism and free American hostages held by pro-Iranian groups in Lebanon.1 "In life," Peres said, "there are .often agonizing conflicts and contradictions between equally pressing moral claims," and in the Iran affair, Israel acted "solely out of moral consideration," He cited as a parallel Israel's decision last year to free 1,150 terrorists and other security detainees in exchange for three Israel Defense Force prisoners of war in the hands of terrorists in Lebanon. He said he had nothing but admiration for President Reagan, who "does not rest for one moment" in his efforts on behalf bf American hostages. "Israel was asked to help secretly and it was glad to do so," Peres said. There was no question of "American pressure," he said. He dismissed the idea that (CONTINUED ON PAGE 9) mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm ' In The Chromc.e J|,""ii nuiiniiiHiiiiiiiiiLiiiiiiiiiii mi \[ i ** 's t'j. X - ' A AtfThe Center . „. v,.
