"Based on previous, experience with them, (the Columbus Police), I am confident they will do everything they can to apprehend the perpetrators," said ADL Regional Director Alan Katchen. "The ADL has for many years monitored and exposed extremist groups and bigots," Katchen pointed out. "And we have long kept an audit of anti-Semitic vandalism and harassment. On this occasion we are ourselves experiencing the same pain and anger that other victims felt, and we find ourselves asking the same questions. How could this happen, how could is happen in this country, how could it happen in downtown Columbus? We are, after all, one of the ten most livable cities in America. But it did happen here.

Soviet Jews Might Not Be Able To Drop Out' To U.S. In Rome WASHINGTON (JTA) - Jews who emigrate from the Soviet Union on Israeli visas may no longer be allowed to come to the United States as refugees, according to a plan reportedly being hammered put by the Bush administration. Instead, they woul;d have to apply for U.S."rather than Israeli visas. Air those emigrating on Israeli visas would have to go directly to Israel. That would be a major change in the way Soviet Jews have been emigrating since the mid-1970s. Currently, the vast majority of Jews who leave the Soviet Union on Israeli visas later "drop Out" in Vienna to immigrate elsewhere, mainly the United States. From Vienna, they travel to Rome, where Jewish groups assist them in applying for U.S. refugee status. "The New1 York Times'5 reported last week that a Bush administration plan to deal with thehuge influx of, Soviet refugees "includes a proposal to close the U.S. refugee processing center in Rome and require those applying for refugee status to do so while still in Moscow. If the administration goes ahead with the plan, Soviet Jews would be put in a quandary. Until recently, the Soviet Union only allowed Jews to emigrate on Israeli visas, on the grounds of returning to their homeland or joining families in Israel In recent years, most have used the Israeli visas as a means of getting to the United States, because there was no other viable alternative. ' ' The Soviet Union has said in recent months that it is now .prepared to allow Jews and others to emigrate on American visas. During the first seven months of this year, 265 Soviet Jews were allowed to do so, including 55 in July." But those numbers are still , small, compared to the numbers of Soviet Jews allowed to emigrate on Israeli visas. A total of 1,431 Soviet Jews arrived in Vienna on Israeli visas during the first week of September alone. If the Bush administration proposal goes into effect, Soviet Jews who want to immigrate to the United States would have to choose either to take their chances on getting an American visa or to abandon their plans and settle in Israel. " > . Israel is epected to welcome the plan, since it believes its visas should not be used by persons not intending to go to Israel including Jews and thousands of Evangelical Christians in the past year. Anne Pollard Granted Furlough And Transfer To Halfway House NEW YORK (JTA) - Anne Henderson Pollard has been \granted a furlough from prison over the Jewish High Holy Days and a transfer to a halfway house in late November, pending the approval of her warden at the Danbury Federal Prison Camp in Connecticut. Pollard, the wife of convicted spy Jonathan Pollard, was told of the recommendation for the furlough and halfway house last week. On the same day, she was denied early release on parole by Daniel Lopez, the Northeast regional parole commissioner. The parole denial came in spite of more than 200 telegrams and letters sent to Lopez's office by Anne Pollard's supporters. They urged him to reverse the recommendation of a parole board, which ruled Aug. 22 that she should not be granted early release. 7 Lopez's decision means that she will most likely not be finally released on parole _, until March 1990, three years; after she began serving her five-year sentence. Pollard's family plans to submit an appeal. of the parole decision to the national appeals board of the U.S. Parole Commision. Pollard was convicted for possession of classified documents in connection with her husband's espionage activities. He is serving life sentence for spying for " Israel. , -..'■■ Anne Pollard's father, Bernard Henderson, said his daughter plans to celebrate the High Holy Days in New York at the Riverdale synagogue of Rabbi Avraham Weiss. Weiss has visited both Pollards in prison. "She has only been told orally so far," Henderson said of his daughter's impen- , ding furlough. "We're trying to pin (the prison authorities) down and get it in writing."
