Appeal For Soviet Jews
(N.Z.P.A.-Reuter —Copyright) LONDON, Feb. 17. Six Nobel Prize winners and Belgium’s . Dowager Queen have called on Mr Khrushchev to give better treatment to the Soviet Union’s 3,000,000 Jews. The appeal, signed also by five other European and American intellectuals, expressed “grave concern” over “evident difficulties experienced by the Jews, as a Soviet nationality.” Lord (Bertrand) Russell, the British philosopher, headed the list of signatories. Lord Russell wrote twice last year to Moscow on behalf of the Soviet Jewish community, but Mr Khrushchev claimed that allegations of anti-Semitism against the Soviet Government were a “malicious calumny.” . Tn his latest appeal, the British philosopher was joined by Queen Elisabeth of the Belgians and five other Nobel Prize-winners—Dr. Max Born, Mr Francois Mauriac. Lord Boyd Orr, Professor Linus Pauling, and Dr. Albert Schweitzer.
