Saadiah Maze, the son of the Late Chief Rabbi of Moscow, Jacob Maze, who was arrested by the Soviet authorities, with a group of Jewish young men, on the charge of Zionist activities, will be released from prison this week, the Soviet ambassador to Latvia declared today.

Young Maze, who is a well known Jewish scholar, will be released on condition that he proceeds to Palestine.

This report was made known following an audience granted by the ambassador to Rabbi Nurok, member of the Latvian parliament, who requested the Soviet Government representative to urge Maze’s release.
