Federation Forms
Disabled Task Force
Jewish Welfare Federation
President Dr. Conrad L. Giles
has appointed Norman
Wachler and Nora Barron to
chair a task force on services
for Jewish persons with
disabilities living in the
Metropolitan Detroit area.
Wachler and Barron cur-
rently serve on a national
committee on services for the
disabled, under the auspices
of the Council of Jewish
Federations.
Giles said that "It is
necessary for Federation to
assess and address the needs
of the Jewish disabled, in
order to make recommenda-
tions for enhancing programs
and services for that popula-
tion."
The task force will compile
data, study successful pro-
gram models, research and
identify potential costs and
funding sources for new ser-
vices, and submit a report and
action plan on these findings
to the Federation leadership
and the community-at-large.
Among its objectives, the
Task Force on Services for the
Disabled will look for ways to
foster the Jewish identity and
affiliation of the disabled, and
to enhance public awareness.
"The Task Force will ex-
plore public-sector services
and existing Jewish com-
munity services to determine
whether special Jewish ser-
vices should be enhanced or
added," said Wachler.
The task force will address
the need for interaction bet-
ween Jewish community
agencies and the services
already available in the
community-at-large.
According to Barron, "The
Task Force will attempt to
sensitize and educate the
community to the needs and
potential contributions of the
Jewish disabled:'
Members of the Task Force
include Sharon Alterman,
Janet Aronoff, Dede
Benaderet, Marvin Daitch,
Marvin Danto, Michael S.
Feldman, Neal Freeling, Irv-
ing E. Goldman, Arnold M.
Jacob, Linda Z. Klein, Dr.

Jewish Groups Praise
Defeat Of Judge Bork
New York (JTA) —
American Jewish organiza-
tions have expressed keen
satisfaction with the Senate's
58 to 42 vote last week
against seating Judge Robert
Bork on the United States
Supreme Court.
President
Reagan's
nominee was repudiated by
58 Democrats and six
Republicans. Henry Siegman,
executive director of the
American Jewish Congress
hailed the decision as "a vic-
tory for the Constitution."
Ann Foss, vice president of
American affairs of
NA'AMAT USS (formerly
Pioneer Women) said her
organization believes the
Senate exercised its constitu-
tional responsibility when it
rejected Bork.
Siegrn.an said it was clear
after exhaustive hearings by
the Senate Judiciary Com-
mittee that Judge Bork
"would have disabled the
Supreme Court from inter-
preting the Constitution to
meet the changing needs of
.
our ever- expanding demo-
cracy." He urged President
Reagan to "act quickly" to
nominate to the high court so-
meone "who is within the
mainstream for American
legal thinking."
The president has yet to
make a new nomination.
About a half dozen names
have been mentioned as his
possible choice, all of them
members of the federal bench.
They include at least one Jew,
Laurence Silberman, 52 of
Washington, a former deputy
attorney general and am-
bassador to. Yugoslavia, now
on the U.S. Court of Appeals.
Lab Animals
San Francisco (JTA) — The
Northern California Board of
Rabbis has demanded
humane treatment of animals
in biochemical research and
has condemned the use of
violence by animal rights
groups.
