President. an article published on the front page of the New York Times for Wednesday. August 16. told of a new and insidious practice of discrimination against Jews by the Soviet Union. The article told of a new system of heavy exit fees ranging from $5.000 to $25.000 for educated Jews who want to emigrate to Israel. Soviet officials have a ready explanation for this practice. They claim that the fees are "repayment for the costs of statefinanced education." Since there is no other system of education allowed in the Soviet Union. it is difficult to imagine how Soviet officials can justify. even by their curious logic. such an extortion.
