Mr. MAGUIRE. and others in participating in "The Spirit of Helsinki. Vigil 1980." in an effort to improve emigration for Soviet Jews. Today I would like to discuss the case of Alexander Paritsky. his wife and two daughters. who live in Kharkov in the U.S.S.R. Paritsky has been accused of various antiSoviet crimes which could produce stiff penalties if brought to trial. Paritsky. a Ph. D.. is a specialist in ocean electronics who lost his job when he applied to emigrate from the U.S.S.R. in 1976. He now works long hours as an elevator repairman. Primary among his alleged crimes is the contention that he staged an antiSoviet demonstration at the monument commemorating the murder of 30.000 Kharkov Jews by the Fascists in 1941 and 1942.
