The American Jewish Congress’ seventh “Hot-Line on Soviet Jewry” has been inaugurated here by Gov. William T. Cahill. In a taped message available to all who call 201-642-8662, Cahill introduces Rabbi Israel S. Dresner of Wayne, president of the AJCongress’ New Jersey Region, who notes the upcoming trial of nine Jews in Kishinev, attributes their arrest to a Kremlin attempt to “crack down” on dissatisfaction with its regime, and announces a June 23 rally at Dag Hammarskjold Plaza, New York, sponsored by the Jewish Women’s Emergency Committee for Soviet Jewry. The AJCongress has similar “hot lines” in New York, Chicago, Boston, Philadelphia, Miami and Cleveland.
