a letter to the Pope. They had her speak and she was the first
Jewish woman to speak. Right now meeting in Rochester, New York.
They passed a terrific Resolution. Her daughter has become a

her name is Mrs. Rivka Alexandravich.

I understand. This has taken on quite a larger proportion than on
Saturday when I talked with you. The lady spoke at the UN,
Mrs. Arthur Goldberg was in the Chair. There were Protestants
in Yiddish. Maybe a wo'r d quietly or privately to the Soviets, word
that the White House is interested would have some affect. And if
.the President had her down and had her picture tal.en with him and
made a statement that he was interested ... ............. They
brought this lady to see me and I have had a talk with her. I was
very much impressed with her story. Let me give you her name,
23 years old. All they will want to do is mold public opinion -_ -
nothing anti-Soviet, nothing Cold War or this type of thing. She
thinks her daughter will die. The trial is in Riga and she is on
trial for/anti-Soviet propaganda. All she did was to print a pamphlet
The statement reached at the UN today was much longer and much
stronger. I thought I would give you the information and you ' act
on it as you see fit.
I will bring it to the attention of the President.

T: I want to tell you first that I am one of your distant admirers
and appreciate everything you are doing for us. I was with Billy Graham
when he called you regarding Ruth Alexandraovich (sp?.) She talked to her
husband in Riga. Saturday night she had the impression that she was being
overheard.
T: Is that right? I don't know about these things. She was told
by her husband that their authorities told him to tell her that if she would
curtail her activities in this country they would release Ruth and the
others involved. She said she is willing to curtail her activities when she
has gotten a cable from her daughter en route to Israel and not before.
K: You can bet your bottom dollar on it.

She has been put in "private puhishment," which is worse than solitary
confinement. There is no furniture; she has to sleep on a floor which is
cold and gets wet at night. In addition to her arthritis she has a bad
kidney condition.
..Her future son-in-law has gone on a hunger strike; he wanted to appear in her
defense. He is now being told that he is going to be remived from Riga to
Odessa as a disturber of the peace. She is extremely concerned this

would be counter-productive. But let me see what we can do through
other channels.

these activities will stop and she will go back at once.

to Dr. Graham on this."

problem beyond that is to see what can be done that will be constructive.
