What a difference a failed coup
makes! The fabric of the USSR is
unraveling at a dizzying pace. The
once-revered statues are tumbling
down. The names are changing -
Leningrad is once again called St.

Massover’s innocence has been
proclaimed in many places, in-
cluding the Soviet press. In the
light of the Soviet government's
participation in the Helsinki and
Vienna Concluding Documents
and the Moscow Conference on
Humanitarian Dimension of the
CSCE process, currently taking
"place in Moscow, Houston Action
for Soviet Jewry is asking the
community for help in bringing
the tragedy of Yuri Massover to
the attention of the world and to

the Nazis as a model ghetto for
propaganda purposes and to
"fool" the world into believing
that the Jews were well treated
by them. The propaganda "art"

cently transferred to a stricter,
prison regime at the infamous
Chistopol pfison as punishment
for his work refusal and for al-
legedly organizing other prison
inmates against the camp admin-

What makes this case different
is that Massover is being made the

Israel will have the ability to re-
pay these loans. A new report
from a leading financial agency
concludes that "the State of Is-
rael is considerably higher in
credit quality than is generally
understood", and assesses that
I srael’s credit rating "is compar-
able to medium investment grade
rated sovereign issuers". Eco-
nomic forecasts indicate that Is- ,
rael's debt burden will only in-
crease slightly as a result of
these new loans.
