Further arrests of Zionists were made in the Ukraine recently in connection with the anti-Soviet proclamations issued by the Zeirei Zion and other protesting Jewish groups.
Among those who were arrested was Chief Rabbi Brustein of Ekaterinoslav. He was released today because the authorities could not prove that he was in any way implicated in the issuance of the proclamations.
