The World : Israel Hopeful on Kremlin

Israeli officials said they are making room in immigration centers for thousands of Soviet Jews they hope will be permitted to emigrate in coming months. Zvi Eyal, Jewish Agency spokesman, said his quasi-official group is basing its hopes on the Nov. 19-20 summit meeting between President Reagan and Soviet leader Mikhail S. Gorbachev. “The Soviets usually make some sort of good-will gesture on the eve of important meetings in the West,” Eyal said, adding, “There’s no meat yet, but there are good smells coming from the Kremlin kitchen.”
