st. Petersburg, Dec 4.--Regarding the
statement cabled from Berlin Dec /,
that American Jews are no longer per-
mltted to cross the Russian frontier
without special permit In each case
from NJ. Won Plehwe, the Russian in
terror minister, the authorities say no
new rules have been issued In connec-
ton with the admission of American
or other Jews. All foreigners are re-
CURED TO have their passports vlsed by
Russian consular or diplomatic agents
abroad, and except certain privileged
classes, Jews OF all nationalities are
declined vlses In accordance with q
policy OF long standing. II is fully UNI
derstood at the state department at
Washington that without vised pass
ports a special permit Is required In
the case of DR.. Cohen of San Fancisco,
the facts are that he had been de-
clined a wise and he applied through
Ambassador Mccormick for permission
TO spend three weeks in Warsaw. Min
lister Won Plehwe thereupon readily ts-
sued Geographic permit voluntarily
