Jewish emigration from the Soviet Union continued at only a trickle last month, with 61 Jews arriving in Vienna on their way to new homes in Israel and other countries, the Intergovernmental Committee for Migration reported in Geneva.

Yearly figures have declined steadily since then, the committee said.
