The Association of Jewish Authors and Journalists cabled today to the Moscow Writers Association a “vigorous protest” against denunciations of Nobel Prize winner Boris Pasternak.
The telegram declared that “we join the protest of the entire free world against the injustice being done to the great writer, Boris Pasternak, and we appeal to the Association of Writers of the Soviet Union to take a more correct position in regard to their colleague who has been awarded the greatest literary prize and who is admired by writers the world over.”
