TEL AVIV (WNS) - Soviet authorities have ap¬
parently decided to call off a planned show trial that
reportedly would have involved 100 Jews in Minsk
accused of establishing a "Zionist underground" there,
according to Jewish sources in the USSR. The sources,
reached by telephone from here, said that Gedaliya
Kipnis, who spent five months in jail pending the trail,
has been released and that other Jews have been un¬
dergoing questioning for some time although none had
been detained.
CHICAGO (JTA) — More than 4,000 Chicago-area
boys and girls took part in a 25-mile "Walk with Israel"
on Sunday, May 20th, to commemorate Israel's 25
years of statehood and to raise funds for the Israel
Emergency Fund. Some 2,400 of'them completed the
Walk, which was; sponsored by the Chicago Jewish
Youth Council in conjunction'with the Young People's
Division of the Jewish United Fund of Metropolitan
Chicago. The Walk began at Chicago's Bernard
Horwich Jewish Community Center, and wound in a
circle for 25 miles through Northside Chicago and the
suburbs, ending at the Center. Individual walkers were
sponsored on a per-mile basis by relatives and friends.
The proceeds of the Walk are expected to total $150,000.
Last year, 3,50walkers raised $112,000.
NEW YORK (JTA) — Gov. Nelson A. Rockefeller
paid tribute to Israel's "triumph and courage over
incredible obstacles" by focusing on a "side of the
miracle of Israel that's too often overlooked." Ad¬
dressing some 1000 American and Israeli businessmen
of the American-Israel Chamber of Commerce at¬
tending a black-tie dinner at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel,
Rockefeller declared: "We are all deeply and un¬
derstandably impressed by the courage of Israeli
arms. But equally vital to Israel's survival has been
her economic flowering over the past 25 years. She has
become a bumming, thriving workshop and a land of
increasing plenty."    . •

U.S. Warns U.N. Against Changing Resolution
While Reports Heard Of Arms Sales To Arabs
WASHINGTON (WNS) —
The' United States has
warned the Security Council
mat any tampering with
Resolution 242 when the
Council starts a review of the
Middle East situation June 4
would only impede chances
of a settlement between
Israel and the Arab nations.
In.a rare White House press
conference, John Scali, U.S.
Ambassador to the United
Nations called the resolution
the "takeoff point" essential
for opening direct or indirect
negotiations between the two
sides.
. Scali reaffirmed the U.S.
position that a solution to the
Mideast conflict must come
from either direct or indirect
talks between the parties
involved in the dispute. His
remarks were seen as a
rebuff to Senate Foreign
Relations Committee
Chairman J. William
Fulbright, who in a Senate
speech earlier said that the
great powers should impose
a settlement.
The U.S. position in the
Security Council debate,
according to Scali, is that the
nations involved have ac¬
cepted Resolution 242 as a
basis for settlement. and
while each side may in¬
terpret it differently tbe U.S.
continues "to feel it is a
fundamental framework
whose continued existence is
essential." He added that
when United Nations bodies
have tried to reinterpret the
resolution it has impeded the
chances of negotiations.
Scali said the U.S. has no
plans to introduce its own
resolution during the debate.
He also said while he does
not anticipate a veto by the
U.S. he would take whatever
action is necessary. He said
the U.S. will be guided by its
"friendship and esteem for
both sides" and cautioned
against recriminations or
unworkable procedures.
Meanwhile in Jerusalem,
concern mounted in officials
circles here over reports
that the U.S. was selling $500
million  worth   of  modern

began in! 'November,' 1971,
when he applied for a visa to
emigrate to Israel on behalf
of himself, his wife Galina,
and their, daughter Elana.
Since then, after being
refused permission to leave
the U.S.S.R., he has been

being arrested again under

residents to write letters of
support to the Fairmark
family ahd telegrams, of
protest to Soviet Premier
Alexl Kosygin, President
Nikolai: V; Podgorny, and
Communist Party Secretary
General. Leonid  Brezhnev.
"This has been .tried in
. other communities and some
of the families have received
their exit visas as a result,"
Mrs.   Resler   told   The
Chronicle.
"This campaign will help
two ways," she explained.
"One way, we're giving
moral support to this family
to let them know they have
not been forgotten by world
Jewry, and the other way,
we're pleading their case to
Soviet leaders,."
"This approach gives
people a closer feeling to the
whole problem," according
to Mark Mellman, a member
of the committee who has
maintained dose mail and
telephone contact with the
Fairmarks.

it's more of a personalized
