Three officials of the American Jewish Committee are leaving for the Soviet Union on Tuesday to make arrangements for conducting a survey there of Soviet Jews and non-Jews.

The visit was timed so there would be an American Jewish presence in the Soviet Union on May 5, the date anti-Semitic groups have threatened to carry out a pogrom against the Jewish community, said David Harris, AJCommittee’s Washington representative.
