The second day of a hunger fast by New York City college students took place today near the Soviet Mission here as a protest against Soviet anti-Semitism. Three students fasted at the site yesterday and were replaced by three other students today. The “relay” fast protest will continue for three days more.
Meanwhile, it was reported from Moscow that the Soviet Union’s KGB, the Soviet Security branch, had ousted the three-man governing body of Moscow’s Central Synagogue, naming as replacements three men listed only as Fishlovich, Michalovich and Olitsky. The KGB’s functions include counter-espionage, spy recruiting and functions like those of the FBI in the United States.
It was also reported that a Moscow court rejected the appeal of Arkady Grinberg, 67, for commutation of a death sentence imposed last March on charges of being mastermind of a 21-member fraud ring.
