Freedman, executive director of the Kollel Institute who, along with Rabbi Feivel Wagner of Young Israel of Greenfield has been representing the Orthodox Jewish community's interests in the proposed extension of the 1-696 freeway through Oak Park and South- field, told The Jewish News this week that the community remains opposed to the freeway extension and is considering what steps to take. Rabbi Freedman said, "Those that have opposed the building of this link of I-696 for the past 25 years, including representatives of the Detroit Zoo, Lathrup Village, Pleasant Ridge, Royal Oak Township, subdivisions in Southfield and the Orthodox Jewish community will be assessing the provisions of the Environmental Impact Statement (signed last week by U.S. Transportation Secretary Neil Goldschmidt). There have been some very impressive mitigations proposed to limit disturbance to these communities and facilities. However I'm sure many people will want to take their cases to court. Right now, a careful review of the entire EIS is taking place."

An international tribunal hearing evidence in the case heard a hitherto unknown witness claim that he met Wallenberg in the Lubyanka Prison months after July 17, 1947, the date when the Russians say that he died. Another witness says that he heard about Wallenberg in the early 1960s in Vladimir Prison. The international hearing of the case was organized by Wal- lenberg's sister and brother, and supported by sympathizers from Israel, Britain, the U.S., France and Austria. The first witness was Andre Lipchitz, step-son of the late Jacques Lipchitz, the famous Lithuanian-born Jewish RAOUL WALLENBERG sculptor. Andre, a bachelor in his late 60s, gave his evidence at the hearing where he spoke under the assumed name of Andre Shimkevitch. He said that he was Wallenberg's cellmate for two days in Moscow's Lubyanka Prison shortly before Christmas in 1947. If true, his statement further discredits Moscow's contention that Wallenberg had a fatal heart attack in the Lubyanka jail on July 17, 1947. It also boasts the plausibility of witnesses who say they have seen Wallenberg long after that date. Another man, who said he heard about Wallenberg in the early 1960s, is Dr. Marvin Makin- en, a Finnish American who spent two years in Vladimir Prison at the same time as Francis Gary Powers, the famous U2 pilot. Dr. Makinen had been accused of espionage while visiting Kiev. He is now a biophycisist in the U.S. Another report about Wallenberg was given by Simon Wiesenthal, the war crimes investigator who helped to trace JERUSALEM (JTA) — The Knesset on Tuesday Adolf Eichmann in South America. He began a first reading of the government's bill setting quoted an unnamed witness as saying that election day for July 7, but parliamentarians pre- General Gennady Kuprianov had dicted that there would eventually be a Likud-Labor encountered Wallenberg in 1953 and agreement on an earlier date, possibly June 23.

The 300 volunteer workers who conducted the telethon at the United He- brew Schools on Sunday reached 3,200 contributors who pledged nearly $350,000. Their gifts mark a 35 percent increase over their gifts in 1980. Nationally, 7,538 volunteers solicited 90,480 pledges totaling $11,687,278. A local follow-up telethon to contact all prospective Campaign contributors who could not be reached on Super Sunday will take place from 7-10 p.m. Thursday.. Fifty volunteers will phone from the United Hebrew Schools. Sol Cicurel, Detroit chairman of Super Sunday, said the total far exceeded expecta- tions, particularly because many potential contributors were away from home. Volunteers, however, spent the day by the telephones, working in two-hour shifts. Every shift was preceded by a 45-minute briefing. The needs to be met through the Campaign were brought home again and again throughout the day. Super Sunday workers reported conversations with the elderly, the unemployed and even, on occasion, with a Russian immigrant. Campaign general chairmen Marvin H. Goldman and David S. Mondry cre- dited the day's success to the enthusiasm of the volunteers and the efficiency of the Super Sunday committee, led by Cirurel and co-chairman Janice Schwartz. Jane Sherman coordinated the worker briefings with Linda Lee, while Shelby Tauber was in charge of resource aides. Harriet Colman and Harriet Dunsky chaired the clerical effort, Jonathan Jaffa headed volunteer recruitment and Morton Zieve chaired promotion. Among the volunteers were a group of high school students from Bnai Brith Youth Organization and the United Hebrew High School, who served as runners for the clerical committee. Nationally, participants included representatives of government, show business and sports, including Mayors Kevin White of Boston and William Greene of Philadelphia, New Jersey Governor Brendan Byrne, Sen. Arlen Specter (R-Pa.), actor William Shatner of "Star Trek," Mike Schmidt of the Philadelphia Phillies baseball team and cowboys from a local rodeo in Denver. Radio and television stations in Dallas, Denver, and Worcester, Mass. do- nated air time and facilities. The phone companies in Baltimore and Buffalo contributed equipment and services. Many communities awarded door prizes to their volunteers; others provided kosher lunches and ice cream "super sundaes." (Continued on Page 7)
