Israel Philharmonic Begins Concert Tour Of Poland, Hungary TEL AVIV (JTA) — The Israel Philharmonic Orchestra (IPO) left last week on an 11-day tour of Poland and Hungary that its conductor, Zubin Mehta, said he hoped would lead toward the Soviet Union. The IPO will perform in Warsaw, Krakow and Katowice, culminating in Budapest on Nov. 15; At that concert, and at one the evening before in Warsaw, Itzhak Perlman will be the soloist. "I see this as a small window which has opened between us and Eastern Europe and I hope it will be a step towards our going to Russia," Mehta said before leaving. "I also hope a few consciences in Poland will be pricked when they see what Polish culture would have been like if the Jews were still there." The orchestra also will visit Auschwitz, where it will play Israel's national anthem, "Hatikva." WASHINGTON (JTA) - Ida Nudel and Vladimir and Maria Slepak, three longtime refuseniks who recently immigrated to Israel, will join thousands of American Jews and non-Jews in a demonstration for Soviet Jewry on the Mall here Dec. 6, the eve of the summit meeting between President Reagan and Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev. Plans for the "Washington Mobilization" were announced at a news conference here last week by the Summit III Task Force, representing SO national Jewish organizations and 300 local federations and councils, which has been planning the demonstration for nearly two years. The mobilization is expected to be the largest Jewish demonstration even held in Washington, according to Jacqueline Levine, chairwoman of the Washington Mobilization and former chairwoman of the National Jewish Community Relations Advisory Council. But she emphasized that the demonstration will also include thousands of non-Jews who support the struggle for Soviet Jewry. "The mobilization will serve as a watch to guaran tee and stimulate" both the United States and the Soviet Union to keep the issue of human rights high on the agenda during the talks between Reagan and Gorbachev, said Morris Abram, chairman of the National Conference on Soviet Jewry, which organized the Task Force. "The principle that we will be emphasizing time and again is that while no one is asking for any direct linkage of .arms reduction and human rights or emigration, the credibility of the Soviet Union and the good faith and the return to the normal relationships, which we will hope for, will be measured and tested by whether the Soviet Union complies with its obligations under international law, international treaties and the Helsinki Accords," he added. Abram said the joint U.S.-Soviet statement issued by the White House after Reagan announced Gorbachev accepted his invitation to a summit Dec. 7 was "historic." He explained that his was because the statement stressed that the summit would be "a substantive meeting which covers the full range of issues between the two coun- Illinois Firm Is Charged With Distributing Non-Kosher Poultry NEW YORK (JTA) -The Illinois attorney general filed suit last week against a Chicago poultry processing and distributing company for marketing poultry falsely labeled as kosher.

Noting that the demonstration will allow participants to "make our feelings known by making our presence known," Levine Said that just as during the civil rights movement, the mass gathering will be one of the "very few times in life" when a single person by his or her presence can feel that he or she "made a difference."
