Often working with mere shreds of information, the multi-lingual staff was able to locate two-thirds of the missing relatives in 1974. HIAS Search and Loca tion works through a net- work of international con- tracts established over nearly a century of rescue and resettlement work. On the average, it takes about a year to make a connection, particularly if the separa- tion has been a long one. If the missing relative is believed to be in the U.S., the first step is a check through Central Files at HIAS. The case history of every refugee brought to this country with HIAS' help since 1948 is housed here. Earlier records are kept at YIVO, the Jewish historical and research organization. Search and Location also runs notices in the Yiddish and Anglo-Jewish press across the country and the German-language Aufbau. Cooperation with Jewish family services and federa- tions nationwide is also part of the procedure. If an American is seeking relatives in the Soviet Union, the information is sent to HIAS, Geneva. From there it is transmitted to the International Red Cross which carries out the search in Russia.

Children between the ages of about 2 to 10 come to their local branch library and check out a toy for two weeks on a regular library card, only when they return the toy can they borrow another.

Current planning calls for the station to be operational in about three years to aid Arab countries in assessing and exploiting their natural resources, according to Aviation Week. Landsat data would be used for accurate mapping of the region, searching for underground water sources, oil exploration in the Suez gulf and road planning, in- cluding site selection for tunnels linking western Egypt with the Sinai penin- sula.

PINTO (AN AVIS FORD EXCLUSIVE) 29200 TELEGRAPH (at 12 Mile) 354-3000 AVIS FORD NEW YORK — Sharply critical of the Ford Admin- istration's failure in provid- ing aid to New York City, Rabbi Alexander M. Schni- dler has called for an outcry of national religious leaders to "dramatize to Washing- ton that support for the city represents a moral necess- ity." Rabbi Schindler, whose organization represents 715 Reform synagogues and 1.1 million people, said, "I am asking not for aid for the city for financial reasons, but for moral reasons. When New York was gener- ous,- it was overly generous in the right direction help- ing millions of Americans to become the productive tax paying citizens that they are." He urged that Ameri- ca reciprocate for New York's generosity. CAustin *********** AN, o the 4441 diaaayad al am 4441 puce, NWAY r amv..
