Among the recent graduates, the groiip ex¬ periencing the most "dif¬ ficulty are people with un¬ dergraduate degrees in education, social work, sociology, psychology, and liberal ^rts. Because of the cutbacks in the aerospace industry; hiany highly qualified and experienced technical iand professional people are having difficulty in finding employment in their chosen professions.

WASHINGTON; JUiy 12 (JTA)-The State Depart¬ ment refused to comment today on a New York Times story that recent escalated shipments of the latest Soviet MIGS to Syria and Egypt upsets the military balance in the Mideast. The Department, spokesman assured reporters that the U.S. has a long-standing commitment to keep the military balance in the region. But he refused to give the details of how the Administration would im¬ plement its policy. The spokesman refused tp comment on charges by Israel Defense Minister Moshe Dayan last Saturday that Israel did not have a regular flow of arms' from the U.S. because of Egyptian pressure on Washington not to supply Israel with war-
planess. Lilaiu Departmem officials however confirmed the "Times.story which,in¬ cluded particulars of Soviet aid to Egypt and Syria. According to; the Times, the UAR received neariy 100 MIG-21S since the cease-fire went into effect in Aug. 1970, with delivery of eight in June 1971 alone, as well as 80 transport helicopters, in¬ cluding 16 in June. The Times reported Syrian shipments at a total of'21 of the latest model MIG-21S, nine older MIG-17S, and five Sukhoi'7 fighter-bombers and 22 MIG-8 helicopters. Intelligence experts quoted by the Times interpreted the supply of the helicopters to mean that the USSR has decided toi provide the Arabs with greater mobility in desert or mountain warfare.

If You Want To Leave The Soviet Union..

•, t«t us say your family iiame is Kagan, and you are a Riga Jew. You have finally decided you want to leave the Soviet Union to emigrate. Under "normal" cir¬ cumstances how do you go about it? What must you do? ?First, you need a relative
who lives abroad. The principle on which the Soviet Unicin permits some Jewish emigration, when it does, is that of family reunion. So you write to your,FelaH*ve.» It is he, or she, ,v(Ko;*«ilsfitake the opening,'i'Oss6rttiali^'slep and send you a' vyzov."^

This must be signed by the director, by the local representative of the Communist Party to determine whether you are a member, and by the relevant trade union representative. However, the very fact of beginning this process has already created difficulties. Local directprs, or Party people, to whom one must apply   grudgiqgly   make

Others have been fired, sometimes in the form of an office or workshop meeting at which one is publicly "excommunicated" by colleagues.
