Page 8-A v The Jewish Floridian and Shofar of Greater Hollywood Friday, November 18,1977 Vance: U.S. Has 'Interceded' On Behalf of Soviet Dissidents Secretary of State Cyrus Vance said that the United States has "interceded" with the Soviet Union on behalf of Soviet dissidents facing trial. At the same time, he defended the Soviet-American Middle East statement. IN A NEWS conference almost entirely devoted to Soviet-Amer- ican relations and the Arab-Is- raeli conflict, Vance skirted a question whether the United States intercession would en- danger the superpowers' bilateral relations and would not disclose Soviet reaction to Washington's protest. He said the U.S. regarded treatment of the dissidents "with great serious- Vance was commenting on a report that President Carter and Vance have urged the Soviet leaders not to conduct pending trials of Anatoly Sharansky, Alexander Ginzburg and Uri Orlov. The Sharansky case has aroused Jewish groups since he faces treason charges because of his outspoken support of Jewish emigration from the USSR. Soviet media have linked Sharansky to the Central Intel- ligence Agency, but Carter has publicly denied such connections. GINZBURG is accused of anti- Soviet agitation and Orlov for heading a group monitoring Soviet compliance with the human rights provisions of the Helsinki agreement. Government officials said Vance had discussed the matter of pending trials of dissidents with Soviet Am- bassador Anatoly F. Dobrynin. Responding to the attacks on the Soviet-American agreement by Republican Senate Minority Leader Howard Baker of Ten- nessee, who in an address before the World Jewish Congress accused the Carter Admin- istration of playing "Russian Roulette," Vance said that he "very deeply" believes that the joint statement of Oct. 1 is "a constructive step in moving toward a Geneva conference" on the Middle East. Vance went out of his way to re-emphasize the Carter Admin- istration's support of Israel. Going over the ramifications of his efforts for the Geneva con- ference, Vance said, "In all of this I want to emphasize that we are committed to the security of Israel and there never has been a moment of doubt upon this. "I HAVE seen comment in the press which has raised questions about this and I therefore want to take this opportunity to lay this question to rest once and for all. There is no question at all that we are committed fully to the security of Israel." Vance em- phasized "fully." Vance said he is continuing to Dress for a Geneva conference Levine to Speak At AJCongress Event The newly formed Entebbe Chapter of American Jewish Congress will hold its first annual membership luncheon at the Emerald Hills Country Club on Monday, Nov. 21, at noon.

Kidnaped Dutch Jew Free On Payment of 4 Million AMSTERDAM (JTA) Kidnapped Amsterdam Jew- ish millionaire Maurits Caransa, 61, was released early Nov. 2. He was found in an Amsterdam square at 1:30 a.m. by a passerby and was taken by taxi to Amsterdam police headquarters. He was physically in good condition. Caransa told police his family paid a ten million Guilders ($4 million) ransom in new banknotes for his release. He was kidnapped five days earlier when leaving the Amsterdam Bridge Club, by five men. Caransa said he was held in a dark room, some three-quarters of an hour ride from Amsterdam, handcuffed to a radiator. He said his abductors had not mistreated him nor threatened him physically. He said he himself had conducted the negotiations on the amount for his release which originally had been several times higher than the ten million Guilders eventually paid.
