'Impending Holocaust In 1 U.S. Kahcine War^s New York (JTA)—Citing deteriorating economic and social conditions, the rising threat of quota s y s t e m s and an "alarming" growth of neoNazi groups in this country, Rabbi Meir Kahane warned of an' "impending holocaust" in the United States. Speaking at a Jewish Defense League-sponsored public meeting at the Hotel Diplomat here that was attended by about 225 people, the JDL lead'. er said the Jews are ebing blamed for the Vietnam war that has "poisoned this country," for the proliferation of p o r n o g r a p h y , and for the spread of narcotics and hallucinogenic drugs. As economic conditions here worsen, he warned, the Jews will feel the
brunt of an America that is g r o w i n g "more frightened,more angry, more bitter and more desperate." Rabbi Kahane said that only "the willfully blind or the fool" will- say "it can't happen here.'" He said it would be a mistake to grant freedom of speech to the neo-Nazi groups now active in the US because these groups will use-that freedom of speech "to put every Jew in the ovens." Rabbi Kahane said he wants to discuss the urgent need for aliya at this week's World Zionist Congress in Jerusalem and that he will attempt to address the Congress delegates although he said lie has twice been denied permission to
speak by the conference's organizers. He also reiterated the need to get help for the Jewish poor in the US from Jewish federations and from city, state and the federal agencies. In addition, he repeated his encouragement to Jews to legally arm themselves for their own selfdefense.

Russia Expells U.S. Congressman
COPENHAGEN (JTA)-Rep. James H. Scheuer, the first U.S. Congressman ever expelled from the Soviet Union, said hero that Soviet, charges against him were "ridiculous." The Bronx Democrat met with newsmen enroute home to the U.S. 7 Expulsion orders were served on him in Moscow last THursday on grounds that he had "encouraged Soviet citizens to jeave their fatherland." ••',.•..'• Scheuer was visiting the Soviet Union as a member of a Congressional group studying Russian educational institutions. But he also used the occasion.to meet~with Soviet Jews to learn of their condition at first hand. He said that the KGB, the Soviet secret police, had arrested various persons in the last few days and that he knew the names of four Jews arrested in Kiev.

The needs are great— in Omaha and in Israel. Neither community can be sacrificed for the sake of the other. We must raise sufficient funds to fulfill our responsibilities to both."
Israel Kindergarten Hit by Arab Rocket Tel Aviv (JTA)—A kindergarten at .Kiryat Shemona in the upper Galilee was badly damaged by a Katyusha rocket shell fired from Lebanese territory last week. There were no casualties, but splinters from the 130-mm shell smashed all windows and raked the interior ' of the kindergkarten. Neighboring buildings w e r e also hit by fragments. Israeli artillery opened return fire as sirens wailed and villagers scurried into bomb shelters. Two further explosions were heard, but their source was not determined. Israeli circles said the attack Was apparently a demonstration by terrorists that t h e y could inflict damage on Israel despite the Israeli commando raid a g a i n s t two' of their strongholds in Lebanon.

A Very Special.'Letter to the Editor9 Editor's note: 34 year old Victor Yoran, world famous Jewish cellist, defected from the Soviet Union in November of 1969 while visiting Vienna. He has appealed to the Soviet authorities to let bis wifej-his three year old son and his elderly mother join him in Israel, but the Soviet govern-' ment has refused to let his family leave. The following appeal from Yoran was received by the Jewish Press this week. To the Editor: I appeal to your concern with the condition of man and the defense of his rights. I am a. concert cellist. I have toured in the Soviet Union, Bulgaria, Roumania and Israel, - giving -concerts in more Chan 100 different cities. Recently, I made my debut in London and am scheduled to perform there next year. In Israel, I have appeared with the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra and. I am also a teacher at-the Tel Aviv Music Academy. • Since 1969 I have been living and working in Israel. I migrated not for poltical reasons, but as a matter of conscience. For many years I have been aware of my Jewish identity and longed to realize, that identity by living in Israel. When visiting Austria with a group of tourists, I made
my decision to emigrate. It was a very difficult decision for me to make. I do not consider that I fled the Soviet Union, but rather that I returned to my hisorical homeland. For two years, we have patiently relied upon the eventual generosity of the Soviet Union. It has, thus far, not materialized and it seems to me that it will not without an active struggle. Could you help us by writing to Leonid Brezhnev on our behalf. Urge him to let my wife, my mother and my child go. As both my wife and I are musicians with no other desire than to live peacefully as Jews in a Jewish' state and, as my mother is sixty and my little boy is three years old, there is no question of our posing a danger. I think the human spirit everywhere, like art itself, is damaged when.it must suffer the restrictions of barbed wire and poltical rhetoric in its quest for truth and wholeness. Can you raise your voice and the voices of as many of your friends as possible against this inhuman treatment of my family? Very sincerely, ' Victor Yoran, , 32 Jabotinski Street . Tel Aviv, Israel

Omaha—Mrs. Zisa (Hilda) Soibel received a letter this week from an Israeli kibbutz, written, by her nephew, Wolf Hertzberg. Many Omahans receive letters- from relatives in Israel, but for Mrs. Soibel, the letter had special meaning. It was a happy chapter in a tragic story which began many years ago, Mrs. Soibel, her sister, 2 brothers and their mother were placed in separate concentration camps when the Nazis overran Kaunas, Lithuania in 1941. In 1951 Mrs. Soibel came to the United States from Munich, believing that her family had been destroyed in the camps. In 1958 she learned that her family had not been killed by the Nazis. Her mother had died in 1956 and one brother (father of Wolf) died in 1958 when Wolf was 10. Her widowed sister, Mera, was still alive, and with the aid of the Omaha Jewish Federation, Mrs. Soibel began the long, hard struggle to get her sister to the

United States. The sisters were reunited in Omaha in 1963. Another brother, his wife and 3 children remain in Lithuania. The letter from Wolf, the nephew she has never seen, told Mrs. Soibel of his immigration to Israel with his wife, Gita. Enroute to their new home Gita gave birth to a little girl,' and the young family is now happily settled on, a kibbutz. Wolf is learning Hebrew and study* Ing to be an engineer. Overjoyed at the news, Mrs. Soibel Is planning a visit to Israel this summer to meet her nephew and his family. She prays that her sister-in-law, her brother and his family, who are still in Lithuania may also be able to emigrate to Israel soon. "God bless America" and Israel," says Mrs. Soibel, "for providing a* new life for so many. And God bless the Jewish Federation, WAS and all those who work, so hard to help all these immigrants."

Des Moines—An audience of more than 200 persons attended the recent annual meeting of the Jewish Welfare Federation held at Temple B'nai Jeshuron. Pictured above, part of (he audience who heard Dr. Allen Pollack of Yeshiva University,- guest speaker at the meeting, tell of the in-

crease in immigration of Soviet Jews to Israel expected hi 1972. Dr, Pollack stressed the need for increased funds to aid in the absorption of these immigrants.
Hockenberg Tells Difficulties Des Moines Women's Federation Of Soviet Jewish Emigration NewsNotes v|fanies N e w Des Moines—A Des Moines man recently returned from Europe has told what ho learned there of the difficulties of Soviet Jews. Shep Hockenberg v i s i t e d .Vienna, Austria, last fall and talked with a high-ranking official responsible for the hand-' ling of emigration and placement of Jews from Russia and eastern Europe. At the time of Mr. Hockenberg's visit, his informant explained that Soviet Jews who wish to go to Israel usually stay from two daysto one week in Vienna before moving on. Those who wish to come to the United States have a longer wait, often as m u c h as six months. The official told Mr. Hockenberg that some persons must wait as long as lp years before being allowed to leave Russia, while others arc granted permission to emigrate at once. There is no apparent pattern to the delays. The first procedure for a person who wishes to move from
Russia to Israel is to receive an invitation from a relative in Israel to come there. Then the Russian must apply to the Soviet government for permission to leave. He must present a character reference frpm his present employer, or, in the case of a student, from his school. Then the person is fired immediately from his job or expelled from school. Only after that is it possible to get permission to leave. .' It costs $500 for a passport and another $500 to remove citizenship from Russia. This latter sum, Mr. Hockenberg said, amounts to a penalty for leaving. . • Mr. Hockenberg was told about the work of the Joint Distribution Committee in sending packages of clothing to Jows in Russia. Approximately 27,000 packages are sent each year. The "committee? h~a s 65,000 names of potential recipients, but lack of funds prevents aiding all of them. The Joint Distribution Committee is a beneficiary of the United Jewish Appeal.
