plaints with the two federal
agencies.
Rubinstein, who is active
in the Jewish community
and for a time was an ad-
viser to the Health Ministry
in Israel, has charged that
he and other Jeiwsh em-
ployees were the subject of
anti-Semitic abuse from
black supervisors at CHPC
over a period of years.
Rubinstein charges
that efforts to halt the
abuse within the agency
only led to further inci-
dents.

The
Comprehensive
Health Planning Council of
Southeastern Michigan
(CHPC) has been charged
with religious discrimina-
tion against one of its
Jewish employees.
Charges against the
agency have been filed by
the National Labor Rela-
tions Board (NLRB) and the
Equal Employment Oppor-
tunities Commission
(EEOC). The employee,
Herbert Rubinstein of
Southfield, is also consider-
ing a civil suit against the
agency, which fired him in

WASHINGTON (JTA) —
Sen. Henry Jackson (D-
Wash.) has called for a re-
surgence by the West to
help Soviet Jews and others
emigrate and reverse the
development by Soviet
authorities of obstacles
against their emigration.
Pointing to the drop in
Soviet emigration in recent
months, Jackson told the
Senate "There are many
reasons why the Soviets are
pursuing these policies, and
one reason may be that they
think the United States and
the West do not really car
anymore."
"It is high time," Jackson
said, "to make abundantly
clear that we do care about
those denied their funda-
mental right to emigrate."
Jackson observed that,
"In this respect, the Hel-
sinki conference is an
especially welcome
opportunity. Let the pub-

lic in this country now
call upon our goVern-
ment and the other West-
ern governments to
champion at Helsinki the
emigration right of Jews,
Christians, and others
who can no longer
tolerate or be tolerated
by a repressive govern-
ment."
Jackson has personally
urged the Helsinki confer-
ence which is to review the
Helsinki accords beginning
Nov. 11 in Madrid to "give
special attention to the fate
of the Soviet and East Euro-
pean members of the groups
formed to monitor com-
pliance with the Helsinki
accords." He said more than
40 of those members are im-
prisoned or exiled.
In a related development,
Jewish emigration from the
Soviet Union rose slightly
in September to 1,307, 30
percent of the 1979 average,
the Student Struggle for
Soviet Jewry reported. Of
the 1,307, 990 or 76 percent,
did not continue to Israel,
the SSSJ said.
Meanwhile, Dr Valery N. _
Soifer, a Soviet geneticist,
was removed as scientific
director of the Institute of
Applied Molecular Biology
and Genetics in Moscow, an
–institute he helped found,
after authorities discovered
his father was Jewish.
Dr. Soifer said that his
"downfall" began when
he tried to hire two
Jewish scientists as
assistants.
He was denied oppor-
tunities to travel and to
take part in scientific meet-
ings. When one of his chil-
dren developed a serious di-
gestive tract ailment two
years ago, Dr. Soifer decided
to try to emigrate with him,
his daughter and his wife to
Israel, but all were denied.
He said he hopes the Hel-
sinki review meeting in No-
vember will do something to
help persons like himself
who wish to emigrate from
the Soviet Union.

nick (D.-Southfield) said
last weekend that the pat;
tern of anti-Semitism at
CHPC has led other Jewish
employees to quit. Pernick
said the abuse is one aspect
of a broader pattern of mis-
management at CHPC and
Oakland County has with-
deawn its annual support of
the agency.
CHPC helps to plan and
control health care delivery
in the Detroit metropolitan
area. It has an annual
budget of $2 million made
up of local, state and federal
tax funds.
Rubinstein's attorney,
Sue Winshell, says the
NLRB has asked the CHPC
to re-hire Rubinstein with
back pay pending the out-
come of a 1981 trial on
Rubinstein's charges of un-
fair labor practices.
NLRB attorney Sylvia
James says the CHPC
has refused to re-hire
Rubinstein, claiming he
was fired for causes other
than what he was
charged in his complaint.
The EEOC initiated a
meeting betwen Rubinstein
and his superiors as the first
step in its conciliatory proc-
ess. One week after that
August meeting Rubinstein
was fired. EEOC action
against the CHPC is also
pending, according to Ms.
Winshell.
Ms. Winshell added that
former Detroit City Council
President Mel Ravitz, a
member of the CHPC board,
