Soviet Union Closing Scientific, Military Jobs to Jews, Newsweek Reports

Newsweek Magazine reported in its current issue that since the Six-Day War, “Jews in the Soviet Union have been finding it increasingly difficult to get scientific and military jobs. Some young Soviet scientists who are Jewish (the designation is stamped on their ID papers) have been denied posts they had been promised; others have been told their cases must be reexamined. Communist officials in one city are said to be excluding Jews from sensitive jobs because of what they call growing nationalist tendencies in the Jewish community.”
