Official Says New Soviet Regulations Scare Prospective Emigres NEW YORK (JTA) - A State Department official predicted last week that within a year Soviet Jewish emigration "may start drop: ping agian and the Soviets will be able to say, correctly, that there is no backlog of unprocessed applications." Richard Schifter, assistant secretary of state for human rights and humanitarian affairs, warned that despite the recent relaxation of Soviet emigration curbs on Jews, Moscow has announced new policies which are "scaring off prospective applicants" for emigration. The Kremlin's eventual . goal is to end Jewish emigration entirely, Schifter told a meeting of the National Commission of the Anti-Defamation League of B'nai B'rith at the .Grand Hyatt Hotel here. He said that despite the atmosphere of "glasnost" (openness) in the Soviet Union and the fact that 871 Jews were allowed to leave in May, the highest monthly total, since 1982, "there is no evidence of a significant change in the status of Jews as second-class citizens." The new Soviet policies, according to Schifter, are apparently aimed at allowing most of the estimated more than 10,000 refuseniks to leave the country while discouraging new applications. Refuseniks are those Soviet Jews who have ap- - piled for — and been denied a*- permission to leave the . country before the new de- ..-. cree on emigration went into effect Jan. 1,1987. Under the new decree, he noted, applicants for exit visas are limited to persons who are. sponsored by, spouses, parents, children or siblings abroad. "Publication of the new decree was greeted with a great deal of dismay by many, of those concerned with th£ cause of Soviet Jewry," he said. Schifter told the ADL leaders that the U.S. has learned that applicants who have sponsorship from close relatives abroad have been told they would hot be allowed to emigrate without the consent of all siblings who remain in the Soviet Union, including their spouse's bro-' thers and sisters. Ghetto Uprising Sculptor Dies NEW YORK (JTA) — Nathan Rapoport, a sculptor whose monument to the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising is probably the best known work of its kind, died here June 4 of an apparent heart attack. He was 76. Funeral services were held Monday at the Magen David Adorn Blood Center in Ramat Gan, Israel. There, his latest work, "Brotherhood of Man," a nine-foot- high bronze statue, was dedicated May 7.

(CONTINUED ON PAGE 6) The most sweeping federal crackdown since World War II against criminal actiyities of far right extremists, including the Ku Klux Klan, neo-Nazis and other organized hate groups, has helped reduce their membership and influence to the lowest point in ten years, according to a report issued last week by the Anti-Defa- matioh League of B'nai B'rith. The report, "The Hate Movement in America: A Chronicle of Violence^ and Disarray," revealed that KKK membership now stands at approximately 5,000 — down nearly 20 percent from its estimated total of more than 6,000 in 1984. The current membership is about half of what it was in 1981. The ranks of neo-Nazis in America have also shown a 10 to 20 percent decline since 1984 to between 400 and 450. '., 'The League, which has* mpnitored Klan and hate- group activity for decades, also reported that violence- prone, anti-Semitic and racist groups, such as The Order and Aryan Nations, have been seriously weakened with many of their leaders in prison or awaiting trial for criminal activity. The report was made public by Burton S. Levinson, ADL's national chairman, at a session of the League's annual National Commission meeting at the Grand Hyatt Hotel, June 10-13. Criminal prosecutions of the organized hate movement in America have been triggered by a wave of extremist criminal violence in the past three years, which, Levinson said, has exceeded the amount perpetrated over the past 20 years. The recent, record of prosecutions includes the following: o Convictions, and imprisonment of key members of The Order, Aryan Nations, as well as the Covenant, the Sword and the Arm of the Lord, which are members of the so-called "Identity" movement that claims Anglo-Saxons are the "true Israel" and Jews are "of the devil." Their leaders have been prosecuted for crimes, including several murders, the bombings of two synagogues, the attempted bombing of a natural gas pipeline and numerous armed robberies. • Indictments and pending trails of ten hate-movement leaders charged with plot- Over 300 At JC Annual Meeting; President David Milenthal Installed More than 300 Leo Yassenoff Jewish Center members and friends attended the Center's Annual Meeting on Tuesday evening, June 16, in the Center's Roth / Resler Theatre. Highlighting the meeting was the installation of the 1987-88 Center Board of Trustees and officers; awards presentations to outstanding Center leaders, programming and volunteers; a tribute to Saint Anthony Medical Center; musical numbers from Gallery Players' Oliver!, which opened June 13, and a dessert reception. David Milenthal was installed as Center president. "I have the pleasure of inheriting an agency full of positive accomplishments and remarkable growth," he said in his acceptance speech. "My challenge and yours is to build on the best in us," he addressed the audience. "(The challenge is) to make a Center, already ripe with new ideas and a brighter spirit to grow even stronger in building the future for - Jews,'from eight days old to - 80 years old; in every corner of central Ohio. "To meet that challenge, I want to see us enhance our efforts in several ways," he verse, it is equally vital to the total Jewish community itself in that the Center can provide a comfortable outreach to the hundreds of Jewish families that can make our total strength in numbers grow significantly.

The group has recently changed its name to the Southern National Front. In addition, there was a $7 million damages award against one of the largest Klan factions in this country, the United Klans of America, resulting from a civil lawsuit brought on behalf of the family of a black teenager murdered by members of the organization in Alabama in 1981. As a result, recruitment has come to a halt. • The report, which was prepared by ADL's Fact Finding Department under the direction of Justin'J. Finger,1 director of the agency's Civil Rights Division, said the extremists' criminal activity has stemmed in part from their sense of desperation over their failure to grow through propaganda techniques." The extremists' violence, in turn, has led to even greater isolation. • David Milenthal continued.
