Russia Charged
With Persecution

WASHINGTON CUPID - A
bloc of Senate and House men,
bers has opened a drive to
turn the world spotlight on al
legged persecution Of Jews in
Soviet Russia.
The State Department is &C
lively staying out of the pic
ture. 1t privately sympathizes
with the objective but it also is
conducting delicate negotiations
with Moscow and has no desire
to see them upset. 1t did say,
however, that anti-Jewish &C
tivities in the U.S.S.R. shave
grown in intensity over the
past several years."
After Russia fired her first
Sputnik into orbit in 1857, a
joke popular among Russian
Jews was:
"Why is the Sputnik a Jew?
Answer: Because it wanders
around the earth and has no
place to stop.

Sen. Abraham A. Ribicoff, D
Conn, introduced a resolution,
jointly sponsored by 50 other
senators, declaring there is
abundant evidence" of anti
Semitism in the Soviet Union
and criticizing Premier Nikita
Khrushchev's profeSsed ignor-
ance Of such reports as "a pro-
found d~elusion."
In answer to a request by
Rep. Seymour Halpern, R-N Y,
that the government consider
possible remedial actions" a
State Department official said
it "would not be in the best
interests Of the Soviet Jews
(and) could in fact antagonize
the Soviet government to the
detriment of the Soviet Jews"
Such action by the American
government, the official ex-
planned, would 'lend credence
or substance" to the Soviet poll
cy Of accusing Jews Of being
susceptible to foreign infIu-
enceS."
One Soviet publication recent
ly echoed this sentiment. 1t
said Jewish religious leaders
and bourgeois nationalist" pro-
vide "griSt for the mills of our
class enemies, district workers
from their class and Commu-
mist interests, and weaken their

poison"
With characteristic gusto,

tempts "are not a new pheno-
menOn."
American officials, however,
point out that the Soviet Jews,
who constitute about is per
cent of the population, have
been held responsible for two

warranting death.
Between July l., 1861, and
July /, 1863, one report said,
140 persons were condemned to
death, of which about 60 per
cent were Jews. In the Ukraine

Alleged Soviet pressure on
the Jews has been typified by
the outlawing Of the study OF
Hebrew. No religious prayer
books or publications are per-
mitted. Production of religious
objects is illegal. There are
less than 80 synagogues open in
the U.S.S.R. Until 1857 there

Italians Are Excited
Over Big Theft Trial

ROME (UPD - A series of
fraud cases, including that Of a
gay customs Inspector, his wife
and his mistress, has given Ital-
ian newspaper readers the i'm
preston that the easiest thing
in the world is to gyp their gov
eminent in a big way.
The most publicized incident
involved inspector Cesare Mas
trella, 4S, who was sentenced to
20 years Imprisonment by
a Terni court for embezzling
more than l billion lire ($1.6
million) from the state.
The case fascinated Italians.
Elegant, efficient Mastrella
seemed to enjoy his trial for the
chance it gave him to demon
strate the confusion of Italian
customs laws and the ineffec-
tivenesS Of controls.
Perfectly at ease between his
two co-defendants - his wife
Aletta and his mistress A n
Maria Tomaselli - he admitted
pocketing the billion during his
three years as head of the Gus
toms office in TERM, an indus
trial town, through forged re-
ceipts, customs refunds" to
Terni firms and other devices.
"Fed Up"
MaStrella told the court that
if he had been one of the in
spectors from Rome who regu-
larly checked his books it would
have taken him five minutes to
detect everything. In fact, the
embezzlement went undiscov-
cred through q routine inSpec-
tons and came to light only
when Mastrella gave himself
up, saying he was ''fed up with
all this.
He said he gambled huge
sums on the soccer pool every
week and impartially gave the
two women sports cars and
bought them shops, real es-
tate and other property.
Mastrella's main preoccupa-
ton during the trial was to con-
vince the court that his wife
and mistress knew nothing
about the embezzlement a n d
thought that his money came
from soccer pool winnings.
The women were sentenced to
short terms and released at
once because the court counted
time they had served awaiting
trial.
The trial was barely over
