POLICE WARN GINZBURG'S RELATIVES AND FRIENDS

A number of relatives and friends of the four defendants in the Aleksandr Ginzburg case [see World Outlook, Janu- 26 and February 16] have been warned by the political police in Moscow.

Lyudmila Ginzburg, the mother of the young intellectual, and one of his friends, Miss Irina Zholkovskaya, were called into KGB headquarters February 10 and given a lecture on their "carryings on against society," according to a February 19 Agence France-Presse dispatch. They were warned that in case of any

repetition of their offense they were

liable to penalties of three years in

prison for spreading false rumors.

The relatives and friends have

been circulating petitions for a retrial

because of the violations of Soviet law

committed by the court. Signers include

the writers Konstantin Paustovsky and

Vasily Aksyonov.

Others called in by the KGB in-

clude Aleksandr Yesenin-Volpin, Pavel

Litvinov and the historian Yakir.
