• Federation Votes Aid for Detroit's Needy Jews (Continued from Page 1) Lion to be used this year came after intensive study. The study, made by a com- mittee of volunteers and JFCS staff professionals, re- assured us in one way. It found no case of anything as severe as actual starvation. "What did surface, how- ever, was an evident need for supplementary aid for many of these people, who are increasingly feeling the crunch of inflation upon their marginal incomes. This can never be described as any- thing but a most complex problem. "The action which we're asking you to take today will enable us to escalate our services to people but it is not a final answer," Mrs. tackier said. "This grant will enable us to fill our obligations for the immediate future, but we need further study to provide answers about the extent and size of the problem involved along with the policy defini- tions which will guide our agency in this matter," she said. After the unanimous vote, Federation President Mandell L. Berman commended the . governors on their action. He acknowledged that the prob- lems faced by the subjects of the JFCS study were not unique to Detroit. In 1973, JFCS disbursed ap- proximately $8,500 in relief assistance. This was in addi- tion to the agency's out-of- pocket costs totaling $165,000 for maintenance services in the realm of direct aid. In- cluded in this category' are housing relocation of elderly persons and the subsidization, When necessary, of their rents. In addition, provision of homemaker service, counsel- ing and auxiliary services ease life for people unable to be independent. In cooperation with the Na- tional Council of Jewish Wo- men, Greater Detroit Section, JFCS is involved in the Meals on Wheels program, which provides 10 kosher meals a week to the homes of 37 people unable to cook for themselves. A small portion of the fund- ing for JFCS comes from fees charged to those it serves. The fees are determined on a sliding scale according to ability to pay.

S. have ap- plied in the past few months to the Israeli Government Bureau for Professionals to facilitate their return to work in Israel. This was announced by the consul general in New York, David Rivlin, and by the director of the Bureau for Israeli Professionals in the U. S., Eli Paz. They added that the num- ber of applications from the Israeli -academicians and professionals who wish to re- turn to Israel has been grow- ing in recent months and that many of the applicants stress their desire to work in Israel, particularly at the present time. The Bureau for Israeli Pro- fessionals is dealing now with 2,000 additional prospective Israeli professionals in the U. S. for whom suitable work may be found in Israel. Among the applicants are many who have resided in the U. S. for the last 10 years and have been well estab- lished. Rivlin added that the number of the Israeli aca- demicians applying for jobs in Israel has doubled in comparison with the number of applicants prior to the Yom Kippur War.

Berry said, "We hope to talk with everyone on our list so they can be told on a one- to-one basis how crucial this drive for cash is!"
