The Jewish Students Union of France, an organization considered leftist in its tendencies, adopted a resolution last night expressing “concern” over the “deprivation of legal rights” inflicted upon Jews in the Soviet Union, it became known here today.
As a result of that resolution, the overall French Students Union, with which the Jewish group is affiliated, was reported today planning to launch a campaign calling upon the Soviet Government to cease its discriminations against the Jews in the USSR.
The entire subject of Russian persecutions against Jews is in the forefront here now, as two well-known French Jews are preparing to make separate trips to Russia to probe the situation. One is Andre Blumel, former president of the French Zionist Organization. The other is Daniel Mayer, president of the International League for the Rights of Man.
