The Soviet police are collaborating in attacks on Soviet Jews or at least refusing to take action against the attackers, according to information reaching here from the USSR. A 33-year-old Soviet Jew named Pinhas Krugler, it was said, was severely beaten near his Moscow home on Jan. 26 by thugs who denounced him for applying to leave for Israel. Several similar cases have been reported by the dissident underground.
