THE DETROIT JEWI,SN NEWS New Congress Is Expected to Be Friendly (Continued from Page 1) defeated. Another incum- bent, Rep. Marc Marks (D- Pa.) did not seek re-election after three terms. The election, with Jews winning Senate seats for the first time in New Jersey and Nevada and House seats in Alabama and Vir- ginia, demonstrated that Jews can be elected on is- sues that have no affect on the Jewish community, without their religion being a factor in the contest. Almost all the elections were based on the eco- nomic issue of support or rejection of the Reagan Administration's eco- nomic policy. This showed up in the vic- tories of Lautenberg, a liberal, and Hecht, a con- servative who had President Reagan cam- paigning for him last week. It also showed up in the elections of Ben Erdreich in Alabama, the grandson of one of Bir- mingham s first Jewish settlers, and of Norman Sisisky in Virginia, both of whom won upset elec- tions against Republican Congressmen. Lautenberg, running in his first election, came from way behind to defeat Rep. Milicent Fenwick (R-N.J.). The 57-year-old owner of Automatic Data Processing Co. spent millions, both to win his surprise nomination in the Democratic Party and to defeat Mrs. Fenwick. He said he had-no apologies for this because he said his funds counter-balanced Fenwick's big recognition factor. Lautenberg is hon- orary national chairman of the United Jewish Appeal and is probably the first na- tional Jewish leader to be elected to the Senate. The 54-year-old Hecht also has close ties to the Jewish community. The operator of clothing stores in Las Vegas, he has served in the Nevada state senate from 1966-1974 and is con- sidered close to his Republi- can colleague from Nevada, Sen. Paul Laxalt. The two newcomers, along with Metzenbaum and Zorinsky, join four other Jews in the Senate, now evenly divided between four Republicans and four Democrats. The others are Sens. Rudy Boschwitz (R- Minn.) and Carl Levin (D- Mich.), whose terms expire in 1984, and Arlen Specter North American Aliya Increases NEW YORK — Aliya from North America has in- creased 15 percent this year over the same nine month period last year, according to Moshe Shechter, director of the Israel Aliya Center of North America. Through the month of September, 1,936 people made aliya. This figure does not include people who decided to make Aliya while traveling in Israel, nor re- turning Israelis. ( R-Pa.) and Warren Rud- man (R-N.J.). Levin's brother, Sander, won elec- tion to the House in Michi- gan's 17th District. Four other Jews, all Democrats, ran for the Senate, two of them los- ing in very close elec- tions. Missouri State Senator Harriet Woods came from behind but was unable to defeat her Republican opponent, Sen. John Danforth, to become the first Jewish woman to serve in the Senate. In Rhode Island, former State Attorney General Julius Michael- son was also defeated in a close race with Republi- can Sen. John Chafee. Two other candidates were defeated as expected. Dr. Cyril Wecht was de- feated by Sen. John Heinz in Pennsylvania, and David Levinson lost to Sen. William Roth in Delaware. All seven newcomers elected to the House are Democrats. However, the five Republican Jewish in- cumbents in the House were re-elected. There are now two Jewish women in the House with the election of Democrat Barbara Boxer, a San Fran- cisco county commissioner. The other woman is also a Californian, Rep. Bobbi Fiedler, a Republican from the Los Angeles area who won her second term. Two other Jewish women, both Democrats, were defeated. They are Lyn Cutler, vice chair of the national Democratic Party in Iowa, and Beth Bland, a mayor in the state of Washington. In addition to Erdreich, Sisisky, Levin and Boxer, the other Jewish newcom- ers are Howard Berman and Mel Levine, both Democrats from California, and Larry Smith, a Democrat from Florida. The Jewish incumbents re-elected are: Anthony Beilenson (D-Calif.), Bobbi Fiedler (R-Calif.), Barney Frank (D-Mass.), Martin Frost (D-Tex.), Sam Gejden- son (D-Conn.), Dan Glickman (D-Kans.), Bill Green (R-N.Y.), Benjamin Gilman (R-N.Y.), Willis Gradison (R-Ohio), Ken Kramer (R-Col.), Tom Lan- tos (D-Calif.), William Lehman (D-Fla.), Richard Ottinger (D-N.Y.), Benja- min Rosenthal (D-N.Y.), James Scheuer (D-N.Y.), Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.), Stephen Solarz (D-N.Y.), Henry Waxman (D-Calif.), Theodore Weiss (D-N.Y.), Howard Wolpe (D-Mich.), Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) and Sidney Yates (D-111.). Meanwhile, most suppor- ters of Israel in the Senate were re-elected. Among them was such stalwarts as Sens. Henry Jackson (D- Wash.), Daniel Moynihan (D-N.Y.), Paul Sarbanes (D-Md.), Edward Kennedy (D-Mass.), Heinz and Dan- forth. In the House, Rep. Clarence Long (D-Md.), chairman of the House foreign appropriations subcommittee and a lead- ing supporter of Israel, was re-elected. His dis- trict has been re-drawn, leaving out most of the Jewish residents who he had long represented. The election of Gilman, a member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, meant the defeat of another supporter of Israel, Rep. Peter Peyser. Meanwhile, Rep. Paul Findley (R-I11.), considered the leading supporter of the Palestine Liberation Organization in the House, LARRY PASKOW INVITES YOU TO CALL THE HARBOR ISLAND SPA FLORIDA'S GREATEST SPA VALUE! * appears to have been de- feated by Democrat Richard Durbin.
