Soviet emigres in Detroit have noted an increase in the number of family members who have been given exit visas in recent weeks, and the Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society in New York has seen a tripling in March of the monthly average of Soviet Jewish arrivals in Vienna. "It's like feeling the subway rumbling under your feet from a block away," said Elaine Zaks, re- settlement supervisor at Detroit's Resettlement Service. "There was nothing before, and now there is a little something. Unfortunately, we just don't know what it is going to mean." The Resettlement Service has received reports from HIAS and the local families of Soviet Jews that eight additional families have reached the transit stations in Vie- nna and Rome, or have written family in Detroit from the Soviet Union to say that they have re- ceived exit permits. In 1985, Detroit helped settle eight Soviet Jewish "families" to- taling nine persons. The 1986 total was four families (eight persons), and so far in 1987 there have been three families (seven persons). The eight additional families total 13 individuals. Karl Zuckerman, executive 53 c be 4.0 She can make you disappear! vice president of HIAS, confirmed an increase in family reunification cases. During the first three weeks of this month, HIAS had 326 arri- vals from the Soviet Union at its Rome and Vienna stations. "Over the last three years," Zuckerman told The Jewish News, "we aver- aged less than 100 per month. All signs are that this is a significant development and that it will be with us for a while."

The title not only referred to his role in the formation of the temple in 1941, but to his continuing activity. And until Rabbi Fram became ill four years ago he remained very active at Michigan's largest Jewish con- gregation.
