L Census May Show Drop In USSR Jews

LONDON (JTA): With a new national census beginning this week in the Soviet Union, ii is believed that the result could show a Jewish population of not more than 1.9 million, compared with 2.1 million in 1970. This is the result of the emigration of 180,000 Jews since the last census in 1970, in addition to the decline shown in previous decades. However, the figure will depend mainly on whether there will be a large change in national identification in census declarations. This is the conclusion of an analysis by Dr. L. Hirszowicz of the lnslilule of Jewish Affairs. The numbers of Jews in the five preceding Russian censuses were as follows: 1897-five million (according 10 language) and 5.2 million according lo religion; 1926- 2. 7 million; 1939-3 million; 1959-2.26 million; and 1970-2.1 million. Since the 1917 revolution, all the censuses have omitted the religion question and recognized Jews as a nationality. Between 1959 and 1970, the number of Jews dropped by 117,000, through natural causes and perhaps through their changing their national identity. The loss between 1970 and 1979 must be much greater - about 270,000, if one adds these processes to the roughly 180,000 emiganls. Another clue lo the real number of Jews 26TH ANNUAL DINNEI DANCE: The largMI group ever of Miriam Hospital employen, retiren, their families and guMts attended the will be in the answers concerning a person's Miriam Hospital's 26th Annual Employ" Dinner Dance held on Saturday, Jan. 13, at the Venus de Milo in Swansea, Man.
