Bob Naftaly did not plan to
make a career in state govern-
ment. In fact, he never intend-
ed to stay with the Blanchard
Administration for the nearly
four years he has been director
of the state's Office of Manage-
ment and Budget.
So last week's announcement
that he will be leaving July 1
to become vice president and
general auditor for Detroit
Edison should have come as no
surprise. It did, however, bring
praise for Naftaly from
Democrats and Republicans
alike, and some concerns from
Jewish observers that "the
Jewish input" was leaving the
Blanchard team.
"The Jewish input will not be
lost," Naftaly said this week.
"Jim Blanchard and I are
friends, and we will remain
friends. I'll still have the input,
but not day to day, and (Com-
merce Department director)
Doug Ross and others will still
be there.
"I'll always be 'of counsel' to
the Administration. Even after
you leave, you're still one of the
people who understands what it
is like to live in the fishbowl."
Naftaly believes Blanchard's
strong record on Soviet Jewry,
Israel, and other issues of con-
cern to the Jewish community
will remain strong. "He knows
the interests of the community.
He is close to Dave Hermelin
and other Jewish leaders. He
came out of a Jewish area."
His tenure in the Blanchard
Administration not only gave
Naftaly a position for Jewish
input, it also afforded him con-
tacts with other ethnic com-
munities and politicians. They
are contacts he plans to build
upon for the benefit of the
Jewish community.
"I was able to gain access to
others whom we may not have
had before," said Naftaly. "Com-
Kevin Klose, former Moscow
correspondent for the
Washington Post, will speak on
"What's Happening In the
Soviet Union Today?" 8 p.m.
Tuesday, in the Pendelton Room
of the Michigan Union, Ann
Arbor. This event is sponsored
by Ann Arbor Action for Soviet
Jewry.
Klose has been with the
Washington Post since 1967.
He served as the Post's
Moscow correspondent in
1977-1981 and traveled widely
throughout the Soviet Union
and Eastern Europe. Since
1983 he has been head of the
newspaper's Midwest bureau.
His recent book, Russia and
the Russians: Inside the Closed
Society , was chosen outstan-
ding book on foreign affairs in
1985 by the Overseas Press
Club.
U.S. Jew Charged
In Collaboration
With Nazis
New York (JTA) — Federal
law enforcement officials said
last week that the Justice
Department is investigating
allegations that an elderly
Brooklyn Jew had collabor-
ated with Nazis against his
fellow prisoners at a concen-
tration camp, according to an
article by Kevin Flynn in
Newsday.
Former prisoners of the
Goerlitz work camp on the
Polish-German border have
identified Jacob Tannen-
baum, 75, a Polish Jew who
lives in Brighton Beach, as an
inmate who helped the Nazis
kick, beat and whip the
workers to curry favor with
his captors.
A source close to the probe
said that the Justice Depart-
ment's Office of Special In-
vestigations will likely begin
legal proceedings in an effort
to deport Tannenbaum, the
first time the government will
attempt to deport a Jew on
such charges.
