et Union is bad and getting
e every day, a Soviet emigre
Wednesday night.
[ Igor Tufeld, 23, a native of Mos-
who immigrated to Israel in
told approximately 50 people at
a ilillel Club meeting Wednesday
night that anti-Semitism is increas
ing in the Soviet Union.
■Tufeld, now studying intemation-
llrelations at the Hebrew University
injerusalem, has been seeking per-
Jmission from Soviet authorities for
three years to allow his parents to
join him in Israel.
Since applying to emigrate in
1977, Tufeld’s parents have been re
fused exit visas repeatedly (the last
time two weeks ago) on grounds of
“secrecy." His father once taught at
an institute classified as “secret”, but
left the job in 1973 in anticipation of
emigration.
Fifteen Jews that worked with his
father have since left the Soviet Un
ion, said Tufeld.
“There is no logic in Soviet emig
ration policy,” he said.
Tufeld’s parents have been dismis
sed from their jobs.
“Application for an exit visa auto
matically leads to unemployment,”
said Tufeld.
He said his father has been bed
ridden for over a year and has been
refused proper medical care because
of his wish to emigrate.
After telling of his parents’ ordeal,
Tufeld gave other examples of
friends in similar situations.

Oil suit to be tried as class action
United Press International
USTIN—A lawsuit charging the
'ermian Corp. with failing to pay for
a million barrels of oil can be tried as
a class action suit, the Supreme
Court ruled Wednesday.
The suit, originally filed by Walter
R. Davis, a founder and former pres
ident of the company, charges that
‘‘’ermian took oil from 100,000 pro-
jucers and resold it without paying
for it or reporting it.

No date has been set for trial of the
suit, which will be in Midland. But
Permian had appealed a lower
court’s decision that Davis could sue
on behalf of all the producers who
sold to Permian and not just himself.
Permian is now a subsidiary of
Occidental Petroleum Co.
Davis has contended that the class
action issue was only an attempt to

Opera may never be quite as col

fashion.
Singers, actors and acrobats will
don vibrant silk robes and elaborate
face masks tonight when the Nation

brings its stage extravaganza to Rud

The MSC Opera and Performing

Contrary to the opera form famil
iar in this country, face painting,
acrobatics and acting are emphasized
in Chinese opera. The company’s
performance brings to life four

quality universities. However, if
they apply to emigrate they often
end up drafted into the army for two
years. After army service it is at least
five years before an exit visa can be
obtained because all military person
nel are classified “secret” regardless
of rank, Tufeld said.
“I don’t see any possibility of
change there (the Soviet Union) for
the Jewish people,” said Tufeld.
He said people could help by
writing letters. Tufeld suggested
letters be written to Jews in the
Soviet Union, United States politi
cians, and Soviet officials.
“If we do not do something,” said
Tufeld, “one day three million Jews
will disappear and it will be our
fault.”
