250 "Old 33e1iet;lfr" ,
The State Department Is uneas-
ily pondering what to do about ad-
mitting a new large influx of "Old
Believers" - this time from Rus-
sia.
Some 1,2D0 want to come to
the U.S. to join the 250 metn-
bers of their sect who were al-
lowed to migrate from Turkey
earlier this year under a ruling
by Attorney General Robert
Kennedy.
The so-called "Old Believers"
split from the Russian Orthodox
church in the 17th century and
settled in Turkey. Last summer,
a number of their descendants,
through the Toistoy Foundation
of New York, sought admission
to the U.S. on the ground they
were under heavy pressure by
'Soviet agents to return to that
country.
Around 1,200 did go back to
Russia in September. Now they
are fed up and want to get out.
They have asked for reacknit-
tance 'to Turkey, but it doesn't
want them.
So Turkey, in turn, is pmpos.
tog the U.S. allow these 1,200
"Old Believers" to join the
250 admitted fast summer.

Kennedy is passing the btx k to

to provide these people with
