Original Toronto Star caption: Signs and Torches raised high; more than 600 Jews rally in Nathan Phillips Square last night after a torchlight parade from Queen's Park urging that the Soviet Union permit Jews to emigrate. They called for an end to head taxes of $5;000 to $24;000 levied on university-educated citizens who want to leave the country. External Affairs Minister Mitchell Sharp read a telegram from Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau saying he has made it possible for many to emigrate.
