There were no academicians in the large group of Soviet immigrants who arrived here Friday morning by way of Vienna, This rare situation was attributed by aliya officials to the recently imposed heavy exit fees for educated Jews seeking to leave the USSR. The officials expressed anxiety at the development. The immigrants–from Georgia, Odessa, Riga and Moscow–were given housing in Upper Nazareth, Ofakim, Shderoth and other places.
