THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS
I
near the Mongolian border,
and has returned to his
hometown of Kishinev.
Having served three years
for "violating public order,"
the 47-year-old emigration
activist has been waiting
since 1978 to rejoin his wife,
Inna, and son, Aleksandr, in
Israel.
Meanwhile, at a Capitol
Hill press conference, Rep.
Benjamin A. Gilman (D.-
N.Y.) stated that "it is high
time to begin forcing exist-
ing U.S. law banning the
importation of slave-made
goods from the Soviet
Union."
He said the Soviet Union
makes extensive use of
slave labor in many indus-
tries including those which
produce goods for export.
"Forced labor is virtually
cost-free to the Soviet gov-
ernment," Gilman ex-
plained. "Prisoners must
pay their own maintenance
costs. They must also pro-
vide the means to build and
operate the camps. This in-
cludes such things as
salaries for the guards.
Thus the Soviet economy
benefits from an almost un-
limited supply of virtually
cost-free labor."
"We must act now to do all
that we can to stop this bla-
tant violation of human
rights," Gilman said.
Eighty-three members of
Congress have signed a pet-
ition being sent to the U.S.
Commerce Department re-
questing that U.S. laws be
enforced in the matter.
Grand Rapids
synagogue gets
$300,000 bequest
A former Grand Rapids
woman who died last year in
San Jacinto, Calif. has be-
queathed more than
$300,000 in cash, stocks and
bonds to Cong. Ahavas Is-
rael in the western Michi-
gan city, the Grand Rapids
Press reported.
Frances Rayden, who
moved to California from
Grand Rapids following her
father's death in 1937, was
never a member of the
synagogue, according to the
newspaper. However, she
had asked a congregation
member to recite Yizkor for
her parents on the anniver-
saries of their deaths, a re-
ques• that was complied
with for more than 40 years.
The money will be used
for general synagogue
maintenance, according to
Stuart Rapaport, president
of the congregation.
Some people still insist on having an old-
fashioned checking account. Letting their
financial institution use their money while they
get no interest for it.
Smart First Federal of Michigan checking
account customers know better. They earn
interest on the money in their checking
account from the date of their deposit right
up until the day their checks are paid. And that
can add up to a lot of money.
In 1983, the average interest earned by
First Federal regular checking account
customers was over $70. And that's money
they didn't have before. Extra money for a bill,
a gift or a great dinner out. You can even avoid
monthly service charges by maintaining
a $300 bal-
ance in your
account.
So stop
by any of
