Paris, (JTA)—Five more Jews have been condemned to deatli in the Soviet Union recently for "economic crimes," according to reports in Soviet newspapers arriving here. Two of the death sentences were meted out to Jews after a trial in Odessa, where two other Jews were given heavy prison sentences. This report was printed in Pravda Ukrainy, official organ of the Ukrainian Communist Party. The June 12 issue of that newspaper, lists the condemned as Binyamin A. Gulko and Moshe A. Fuks. The newspaper reported that an eight-year prison sentence was given by the same court to Betya E. Rothstcin, and a fiveyear sentence was imposed on Tzila G, Lapidus. All four had been accused, the Communist
newspaper stated, of "dealing fa foreign currency." Three other Jews have been. executed after a trial in Dniepropetrovsk, which is also in the Ukraine, according to a Moscow dispatch. At least four Jews had previously been sentenced to death in Moscow. (In New York, a Moscow dispatch to the Herald Tribune reported that 18 persons, at least five of whom have J e w i s h . names, are currently on trial for "economic crimes" in .Minsk. Six of the'18 were named, and at least five of these six are beiieved to be Jewish. They were denounced in the White Russian p r e s s as "rascals, rogues, thieves, bribers, and speculators."
