New efforts are being made to secure the freedom of Mordecai Oren, Israel Mapam leader who was implicated in the Slansky trial in Prague and sentenced to a long prison term, it was reported here today by the “Jewish Vanguard,” mouthpiece of the Poale Zion organization in this country.
The publication reported that Mrs. Oren will shortly leave Israel for Europe in an attempt to enlist the support of left Socialist parties in a campaign to secure her husband’s release. It is understood, the Jewish Vanguard said, that a number of promises have recently been made by leading Communists that Oren’s case would receive “favorable consideration” by the Czechoslovak authorities.
