Back from a month's stay
in Israel, where he headed
several of the missions that
were organized by the United
Jewish Appeal, Paul Zucker-
man, UJA national chairman,
said the experiences with
American visitors have been
most heartening and the re-
sponses indicate constant in-
crease in interest and devo-
tion to the cause of providing
support for the Israel pro-
grams.
"The Russian immigrants,
whose numbers are increas-
ing, have created a new in-
terest in UJA's humanitarian
tasks, and we are exerting
every effort to meet the needs

of the tens of thousands of
newcomers no matter how
pressing the needs created
by their numbers," Zucker-
man said.
He said that the problems
of integration are gradually
being resolved and that the
newcomers are fitting into
Israel's patterns of living and
the country's construction
works.
Israeli leaders have in-
spired the missions, Zucker-
man said, to a degree that
has assured new standards of
giving to UJA.
Prime Minister Golda Meir
was joined by other leaders
of Israel in sharing with
members of the missions
knowledge about new devel-
opments and a, more dedi-
cated American constituency
emerges as a result of such
relationships, the UJA leader
said.
Zuckerman was in the lime-
light just before he left
Israel. At a meeting with
more than 200 members of
UJA missions, after he had
expressed thanks to Golda
Heir for her address to the
gathering, Zuckerman, salut-
ing her with a "God bless
you" in Hebrew, kissed the
Israeli leaders, and that was
a photo that was used so
widely that it made him im-
mensely proud.
Presently, Zuckerman is
on tours of U.S. cities from
coast to coast in behalf of
UJA.

Valerian Trifa, archbishop of
the Romanian Orthodox Epis-
copate of America, who is
charged with having led
pogroms against the Jews in
Romania during the Second
World War.
Bishop Valerian, whose
headquarters is at Grass
Lake, Mich., is wanted in
Romania under a court order
to serve a life sentence for
his wartime role as a leader
of the Iron Guard. It is
charged that he entered the
United States under false
pretenses in 1950.
Trifa has admitted that as
a young man, then Viorel
Trifa, he was an Iron Guard-
ist but denied having killed
anyone. Last May The Jew-
ish N e w s published the
charges against Trifa, which
subsequently were given
some substantiation with the
bishop's admission of fascist
ties.
David Horowitz, editor of
the United Israel Bulletin,
who has waged an unceas-
ing battle to bring Trifa to
trial, has sent out an appeal
for funds to help with the
costs of printing and mailing.

Biblical Scholar Wins
U-M Faculty Honor

Prof. George E. Menden-
hall of the University of
Michigan department of
Near Eastern languages and
literatures has been named
Henry Russel Lecturer for
1973.
The selection was approved
by the university's board of
regents following Prof. Men-
denhall's selection by the
U-M Research Club.
The lectureship is the high-
est honor the university can
bestow on a senior faculty
member. Prof. Mendenhall
will deliver the Russel lec-
ture in March.
His speciality is biblical
studies and he has made
"important contributions to
the linguistics and cultural
history of the Near East, his
work including decipherment
of such ancient records as
texts nearly 5,000 years old.
He has been characterized as
the leading U.S. scholar in
his field," said the Research
Club in recommending him.

JFCS Opens Oakland County Branch

The Jewish Family and
Children's Service has open-
ed a branch office in Oak
Park to better serve the
needs of Jewish residents in
Oakland County, it was an-
nounced by Herbert P. Sill-
man, president of the JFCS
board.

agency has leased from the
Oak Park Board of Educa-
tion a small part of the
former Roosevelt School,
24600 Greenfield, which is
now used by social agencies
in Oakland County.
The JFCS has leased four
offices in • the northeast
corner of the building, with
entrance on Harding and
Burton Ayes.
Samuel Lerner, executive
director of the agency, noted
that with a marked shift of
the Jewish population, there
is a large concentration of
clients in the Oak Park--
Southfield area. In 1971, of
the new cases opened for
service, approximately 32.5
per cent were from Detroit
and Wayne County and 64
per cent were from Oakland
County.
He noted that the major
facility will continue to be at
10801 Curtis. Because the
new branch has limited facil-
ities, it will not be possible
to see all clients who live in
Oakland County. However, it
will be available for special
situations where transports
lion is particularly difficult,
Lerner said.
Senior Citizens in Federa-
tion Apartments and in the
Oak Park area also may find
it more convenient.
A plan is being devised for
staff members to schedule
some interviews for clients
who have transportation dif-
ficulties. Lerner stressed,
however, that most clients

He indicated that the staff
is considering scheduling ap-
pointments for one of two
evenings a week in those
situations where a mother or
father works.
Lerner stressed that re-
ferrals or new cases should
still be brought to the main
office, DI 1-5959.
In emergency situations,
the branch office, 545-0800,
may be called. Some workers
will be on duty from 8:30
a.m. to 5 p.m.
The agency -..^ently em-
barked on forming self-de-
velopment discussion groups
where, under the leadership
of a trained social worker, a
group of adults can discuss
problems of individual and
mutual concern. Several such
groups have been meeting at
the branch office. Individuals
and organizations who wish
to join or to form such
groups may contact Mrs.
Joan Israel, a coordinator of
this project for JFCS. Groups
have formed to serve par-
ents of adolescent children,
women concerned about their
role, and older adults. The
agency is particularly inter-
ested in serving the adult
children of aging parents.
Sillman stated that the
Oakland County office was
made possible as a result of
apropriations from the
United Community Services
and the Jewish Welfare
Federation.
