States are preparing them- selves for equitable sharing of responsibility in the re- settling of large numbers of Soviet Jews expected to reach this country during the next 12-month period under liberalized moves on the part of the Carter Ad- ministration. The U.S. government has now granted 12,000 "parole visas" for that period to be issued mostly to Jews from the Soviet Union stranded in Rome as "drop-outs" en route to Israel and seeking emigration to the U.S. This is in addition to other categories of visas under which emigrants from the Soviet Union can enter this country. The U.S. Department of Immigration and Naturali- zation will now make an ef- fort to reduce the time re- quired for processing appli- cations of Soviet Jewish emigrants stranded in Rome. These transmigrants ususally have to wait about five months in Rome for FLINT NEWS 368-4044 875-7650 For A Common Sense Approach to Justice I and Common Sense in the Courtroom AAA Lawn Sprinklers Residential & Commercial Service & Repairs SCHNELZ We install the best and Service the rest 399-8718 I MAZER'S SHOES RED TICKET SALE JULY 28th MIDNIGHT MADNESS SY GOES MAD! 30% TO 75% MEN'S, WOMEN'S, TEENS, CHILDREN'S OFF • OFFICE SUPPLIES • DRAFTING SUPPUES • ART SUPPUES • OFFICE FURNITURE BARGAINS — BARGAINS!
