Emigration Down to a Trickle
Fascell Gets Word on Soviet Jews from Shultz
Continued from Page 1
Jewish sources estimate that
there still are more than 300.000
Soviet Jews who possess the let-
ters of invitation from Israel nec-
essary for application to emi-
grate.*-
THE REPORT noted that at
least 14 persons have been ar-
rested this year for "merely in-
dicating a desire to emigrate."
The application process has be-
come even more difficult" and
efforts to receive documents are
very time consuming and often,
because of bureaucratic obstruc-
tionism, virtually impossible."

West Bank Residents
Support Confederation
JERUSALEM (JTA) -
Mayor Elias Freij of Bethlehem
said in a Voice of Israel Radio in
terview that most Arab residents
of the West Bank support the
idea of a confederation between
Jordan and self-governing Pale
stinians in the territory.
He said the attacks on
Palestine Liberation Organiza-
tion chief Yasir Arafat by ele-
ments of the PLO leadership
Itecause of his contacts with King
Hussein of Jordan were of no
significance.
Freij. a moderate who has long
favored a political solution of
Israel's conflict with the
Palestinians urged the PLO and
Israel to recognize each other si-
multaneously. He said the PLO
would gain many advantages
from such a move and warned
that time was running out for the
Palestinians because of Israel's
intensified settlement activity in
the occupied territories.

intimidated into ending their
contacts with foreigners, accord-
ing to the report. It noted that in
September the KGB warned the
leading Moscow refusenik. Alek-
sandr Lerner, to end his contacts
with diplomats, correspondents
and other visitors or face trial
and imprisonment.
In addition, the report noted
that "the authorities have treat-
ed Western tourists who met
with dissidents, religious be-
lievers or refuseniks with usually
heavy-handed crudeness and
have denied visas to others whom
they have suspected of intending
to do so."
THIS HAS been particularly
true in Leningrad, but also in
Moscow and Kiev. "For instance,
an official of a U.S. Jewish or-
ganization was warned by several
strangers in her Moscow hotel to
'start behaving responsibly' by
ceasing to meet with refuseniks,"
the report said.
The report also noted that one
of the most active Jewish culture-
Hebrew study circles in Moscow
led by Pavel Abramovich was
suspended in June under pres-
sure from the authorities.
"There have been numerous
reports of discrimination against
Jews, such as denial of access to
higher education," the report
said. It said that 11 Jews had
their higher degrees revoked
which results in the loss of their
jobs and income. "Occasional at-
tacks on Zionism in the media
appear intended to arouse anti-
Semitic feelings among the popu-
lace," the report charged.
THE REPORT also noted the
plight of Anatoly Shcharanaky,
who is being force fed because he
went on a hunger strike in prison
to protest the refusal to allow him
visitors and mail. Jewish activist
Aleksandr Paritsky recanted on
television because he was threat-
ened with an extension of his
term until 1990 despite his heart
condition, the report charged.
In addition, the report lists

the identities of the "very senior
Lebanese figures" with whom
Sharon has been in contact for
several weeks. They acknowl-
edged that there are counter-
pressures at work within the com-
plex and less than stable govern-
ment in Beirut. But they seemed
confident that the principles
secured by Sharon and endorsed
by the Cabinet today could be in-
corporated into a formal accord
between Israel and Lebanon.
A high government source told
the Jewish Telegraphic Agency
that those principles would
"largely answer our require-
ments." The source said they
provide for "satisfactory security
arrangements" in south Leba-
non, for "normalization" of rela-
tions between the two countries
and for an "official end to belhg-
unilaterally. They said simulta-
neous withdrawal by Israel and
the Syrians was under considera-
tion, probably in stages, to begin
after the PLO pulls out its estim-
ated 6-7.000 armed men.
The sources emphasized that
the U.S. role would be vital, not
only in mediation between Israel.
Syria and the PLO for total with
draal but also in the protracted
formal negotiations between Is-
rael and Lebanon. The sources
said several Cabinet ministers
had expressed their appreciation
of the American efforts.
They stressed that Israel was
not being asked by the U.S. or by
Lebanon to pull back its forces

that he does not intend to re-
appear. But Saguy. one of six
witnesses who will avail himself
of the opportunity, included
Sharon among several persons he
or his attorney will interrogate.
Second Round Of Hearings To
Begin Sunday
The commission will begin its
second round of hearings next
Sunday when former Chief of
Staff Gen. Mordechai Gur will
testify behind closed doors. Gur,
now a Labor Alignment member
of the Knesset, volunteered to
give testimony. He was Chief of
Staff during the Israel army's
Litani Operation" the in-
vasion and occupation of
southern Lebanon in 1978.
The commission disclosed that
it had asked Thomas Friedman.
The New York Times
correspondent in Beirut when the
massacres occurred last Sep-
tember 16-18, to present evi-
dence. On the instructions of his
newspaper, Friedman declined.
The only witnesses who will
not re-appear before the panel are
Premier Menachem Begin who
sent the commission a letter re-
peating his original testimony.
Foreign Minister Yitzhak
Shamir, and Gen. Amos Yaron
who was in command of Israeli
forces in Beirut during the
massacre. Shamir and Yaron
indicated that they would submit
written material.

erency.
Nevertheless, some key
sources took issue with claims by
Sharon and his associates that
the major "breakthrough" was
achieved by the Defense Minister
in a solo effort without the help of
the Americans. According to
Sharon's circles, Habib and
Draper were "surprised" by
Sharon's success.
Reagan's comments in Wash-
ington indicated that he was fast
losing patience over the lack of
movement in Lebanon. He told
the Washington Post in an inter-
view published Friday that "the
time has come now for the foreign
forces that are there Syria. Is-
rael and the remnant of the PLO"
to pull out of Lebanon. "For
these countries to delay in
getting out now places them in
the position of being occupying
armies.'- he said, according to the
Post
He added, the Post reported,
that for Israel to be in Lebanon
on invitation or when it was
being attacked from across the
Lebanese border was one thing,
but for them to be there now was
something else. "The Lebanese
government has enough confi-
dence in itself that it has asked
them (the Israelis) to leave and to
not leave is, as I say, to make
themselves an occupying force,"
The president was quoted by the
Post.
