Dr. William Korey, director of B’nai Brith’s United Nations bureau, told the Jewish Telegraphic Agency today that B’nai B’rith did not call the police to evict members of the Student Struggle for Soviet Jewry from its premises on June 26, as stated in the Oct, 23 JTA Daily News Bulletin. SSSJ coordinator Glenn Richter reaffirmed to the JTA today that several policemen arrived in the lobby shortly after the SSSJers arrived, but he agreed that there was no evidence that B’nai B’rith had called them.
