Levine I CLOSE-UP New Wave Continued from Page 28 ty of skills have entered the job market this year, Goode- nough said. They include physicians, laborers, carpen- ters and machine operators. JVS counselors try to help them find a position related to their training. Resumes are circulated among potential employers and staff members will contact employers to ex- plain the individual's back- ground. They will even go with a Russian to help fill out applications, as a counselor did with Boris Drigant. In order for the Drigants and other new arrivals to find a job, they must first have transportation. So, they turn to the Hebrew Free Loan Society. The Drigants were able to purchase a 1979 automobile with money bor- rowed from the agency. The Russian loan program provides funds of between $1,000 and $2,000 to im- migrants for personal needs like purchasing a used car, said Executive Director Ruth Marcus. "We have made eight to ten loans in the last three months to very recent Russian im- migrants," Marcus said. "They are now coming within two weeks, and they don't have jobs yet, so we defer the first payment:' The society requires two co- signers for each loan, which must be repaid within a year, Marcus said. "We talk with the co- signers to make sure they are willing to make the pay- ments," Marcus explained. "The co-signers are usually Russians who have been here for ten years. Other people did it for the first group, and now they are helping the new im- migrants." The cars purchased with the loans can take new im- migrants to more than Eng- lish classes and job inter- views. Like all new arrivals, the Drigants were given a three-year membership to the Jewish Community Center, where they can use the swim- ming pool and other facilities. Another program that ben- efits the children of the refugee families is scholar- ships available from the Fresh Air Society. Youngsters from second through ninth grade can spend part of their summers at one of the Tama- rack camps. "Scholarships are available for any Jewish family," said Registrar Jeanette Tilchin. "Families can pay zero or whatever they can afford. New immigrants are referred to us by Resettlement Service. The families come in and see me, and I try to give them in- formation about what to ex- pect at camp." Agency assistance was one of the nicest parts of coming to the Detroit area, said Boris and Natalia Drigant. The transition from one life to another has been difficult, and without help, it would have been that much harder. "It is so difficult to begin a new life," Boris said. "There are new rules, new traditions to learn. We need help prac- tically everyday." El Esimi''•• ■■■•■ •gi NEWS I U.S. Jewish Official On Private Trip To Jordan New York — Malcolm Hoenlein, executive director of the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations, denied reports that he delivered to Jordanian officials "a pro- posal" from Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir during a visit to Amman, Jor, dan. Hoenlein said that he went on a private visit to Amman last week, at the invitation of Roscoe Suddarth, the Ameri- can ambassador to Jordan. But he did acknowledge that he met with the Prime Minister prior to his Amman visit and that during the 18 hours he spent in Amman, he met with top Jordanian of- ficials, including Minister of the Royal Court Adnan Abu Odeh. The Israeli daily Maariv reported that Hoenlein con- veyed a verbal message to the Jordanians and also told them that American Jewry will stand behind Jordan and assist it in mustering American support for its re- quests if Amman softens its stands on the peace process and agrees to conduct direct negotiations with Israel.' "Because I went on a private visit, I did not repre- sent American Jewry," Hoen- lein said of the newspaper report. He also disputed the report that he was accom- panied to Amman by Max Green, President Reagan's ad- viser for Jewish affairs. He said Green's visit was not con- nected to his. Hoenlein's visit was the first of two missions to Amman made by American Jewish figures recently.
