Strauss, who is Jewish, did , hot say he opposed Jackson- Vanik and neither did the officials who briefed report¬ ers just before they left Washington for Moscow with Secretary of State Cyrus Vance for his meeting with Soviet leaders that floun¬ dered over nuclear wea¬ ponry.

His visit is at the invitation of Vance and will be part of the "continuing discussions of their efforts for a just and lasting peace in the Mideast," the'State Department said. PARIS (JTA) — Israel's Weizmann Institute and France's "Institut Pasteur" embarked Apr. 14 on a joint program of intensive' cancer research. France's Health Minister Simone Veil said the project "is a sym¬ bol of what scientists can do "when they place them- ^i^eives^aboyeijna^iona.lXmbjUons'." The Minister, also said Leonard Bernstein will conduct the French Na¬ tional Orchestra next month at a gala performance to help raise money for the program. The Weizmann-Pas- teur project is a private venture but, Mrs. Veil said, it is being conducted within the framework of existing Franco-Israeli scientific agreements. VIENNA (JTA) - Dr. Mikhail Stern, released last month from a Soviet prison camp where he had served ' two years and eight months of an eight-year sentence for alleged bribery, arrived here Apr* 13 and,an¬ nounced that he plans to settle in the United States. The sentencing of the 58-year-old endocrinologist from Vinnitsa, Ukraine on obviously false charges, had aroused a world-wide wave of' protests, which were credited with obtaining his early release from the labor camps and permission for him to leave the Soviet Union on an emigrant visa for Israel. Nazi War Criminals Still Abound In Numbers By Lauri Zofan Chronicle News Editor Only 10,000 of the 100,000 German Nazis who com¬ mitted war crimes between ' 1940 and 1945 have been caught; and of that group only 2000 havfe*been brought to trial. In addition, there currently.' are 5000 Nazi criminals (not German) in the United States. These are some of the harsh facts Tuviah "Fried¬ man, director of the Institute ' for Investigation of Nazi War Crimes in Haifa and Jerusalem, brought to the people of Columbus last week. .Friedman spoke on April 11 at Beth Jacob Congregation, during Yom Hashoah observances. The famed Nazi hunter who spoke briefly with the Ohio Jewish Chronicle, said 70% of those criminals in Germany who are convicted go free. Some claim in¬ sanity, others are let go because of their age, he explained. Friedman, known for the part he played in the capture of Adolf Eichman, heads an office that has no official connection with the Israeli government, but works closely with the authorities in ' various' countries, especially Germany and the United Stales., He said he gets complete co-operation with the German authorities, but that there is no true justice in Germany because many of the judges and people in high positions were themselves Nazis of have friends and relatives who were involved in the war crimes. Revenge is no longer the reason the search for Nazi's goes on. Friedman says his office is trying "to make justice and history." One problem that faces Friedman and his co¬ workers is that "We are running today with a watch in our hand" because in 1980 the Statute of Limitations ends in Germany. No Nazi criminal can be brought to trial after that. Friedman . feels that American Jewish com-, munities can help his organization. He suggests that concentration- camp survivors in the United States could perhaps remember names and faces of those who committed, crimes in the camps where they were, and therefore these „ survivors could become "important wjt- nesses"„in future trials. Although Friedman did not play an active part in the actual capture of Adolf Eichman, he spent 15 years collecting material. „ (CONTINUEDON PAGE?)
