Nahum Goldmann. president of the World Zionist Organization. His belief has been that publicity would not improve the chances of Soviet Jews of obtaining ekit permits. This attitude was strengthenedabout one year ago when small numbers of Jews began receiving emigration papers. Soviet authorities never explained why they began allowing some Jews to leave. About 200 Soviet Jews are reported to have arrived in Israel each month until April or May when the number dropped back again. It is assumed that the discontinuance of this limited emigration led the Israeli Government to speak out. [From the New York Times. Dec. 6. 1969]
