Detroit Soviet Jews Part of HIAS Effort

(Continued from Page 1)
dropped by 40 percent in
1974, a greater proportion of
those leaving were referred
to HIAS in Vienna by the
Jewish Agency, primarily for
family reunion in countries
other than Israel. The Jew-
ish Agency referral rate to
HIAS climbed from 3 per-
cent in the early months of
1973, to over 30 percent in
the last months of 1974.
HIAS officer Gaynor I.
Jacobson said, "Israel's re-
cord of absorption is un-
equaled in modern history.
Since 1971, of the nearly

100,000 Jews leaving the So-
viet Union, 95,000 have suc-
cessfully resettled in Israel.
"We anticipate that Soviet
Jews will again make up the
larget single group of HIAS-
assisted migrants in 1975,"
he said. "We are projecting
that HIAS will resettle at
least 5,000 Russian Jews, in
the coming year, 4,000 of
them in the U.S. This is
based on a HIAS caseload in
Rome of almost 2,000 Rus-
sian Jews and the increased
Soviet Jewish caseloads of
non-Jewish migration agen-
cies in Western Europe."

Not all migrants who re-
ceived HIAS' help in finding
countries o f resettlement
came from the USSR. United
HIAS Service was active in
Asia, Africa a n d Eastern
Europe resettling close to
2,500 refugees from countries
including Morocco, Tunisia
and Romania. By the end of
1974 HIAS had moved more
than 6,500 from all corners
of the globe, an increase of
66 percent over last year's
figure of 3,900.
HIAS was also successful
in helping Jews from 40
countries locate 2,250 rela-
tives and friends from whom
they had been separated for
many years.
Soviet Jews arriving in the
U.S. are now being resettled
in 88 communities by Jewish
family services and other lo-
cal agencies.
In addition to providing for
such basic needs as housing,
vocational . counseling, . job
placement, health care, En-
glish instruction, day care
and education, agency pro-

fessionals and volunteers are
very much concerned with
total social and religious ad-
justment.
Services offered by family
agencies are being augment-
ed with many 'extras' that
make the newcomers feel a
part of American life.
English ulpans, home hos-
pitality, synagogue member-
ship, free nursery school,
day care, shopping excur-
sions, and cultural events are
part of the local volunteer
efforts.
Coordination of local vol-
unteer efforts are under the
Jewish family services agen-

cies.

Despite the unique adjust-
ment problems the Russian
movement has brought, a re-
port of the Council of Jew-
ish Federation and Welfare
Funds indicates that a ma-
jority of Soviet Jewish im-
migrants studied required
the same amount of time to
become self-supporting as
other recent immigrant

groups.

VIENNA (JTA)—The Arab
Mohammed Boudia terrorist
group had tried to establish
bases in Europe several
times, according to the Aus-
trian newspaper, Die Presse.
Three members of the ter-
rorist group attacked an El
Al plane Jan. 19 and were
flown out of France after
the release_ of their 10 hos-
tages.
In January 1973, Austrian
police arrested three mem-
bers of the group who
planned to attack a train with
Jewish emigrants on their
way from the Soviet Union
to Israel.
The terrorists stayed in a
Vienn , t hotel and opened
contacts with Austrian right-
wing circles. They were con-
victed for illegal entry.
Another member of the
Mohammed Boudia group
was arrested in Italy after
escaping from Austria. Italy
deported the three men to
Austria, which extradited
them to Arab countries along
with the others.
After the six men dis-
appeared, Austria was the
site for new operations of
Arab terrorists in September
1973 when three terrorists at-
tacked the Jewish emigrant
transport station at Schoenau.
Austrian police sources
called it "at least possible,"
that the Algerian national
Mohammed Boudia, had
worked out the operation
plan for the Schoenau at-
tacks. Boudia died later in a
bomb explosion in Paris.
