made America great. Gun
ownership is something that
Christian America gets very
upset with Jews about. The
message that they get is that
Howard Metzenbaum and
his crew want to take their
guns away."
He sees evidence that anti-
Semitism based on the gun
issue is already influencing
politics in Wisconsin.

"Herb Kohl (D-Wis.), the
newly elected senator, who
is Jewish, has made it
publicly clear that people
shouldn't own semi-
automatic weapons. The
hatred developing for that
man here in Wisconsin is
just incredible. Arlen

Specter (R-Pa.) is Jewish;
he's really coming under
fire, because he had the
chance to vote againstallow-
ing Metzenbaum bill out of
committee, and he opted not
to vote. So again, here was a
liberal Jewish senator .. .
you begin to see a pattern
here."
Jewish activists here are
not amused by Zelman's ap-
pearance on the scene.
"What he's doing is trolling
for anti-Semitism," said
Mark Pelavin, Washington
representative for the
American Jewish Congress,
a group that has taken a
strong stand in favor of
stronger controls on assault
weapons.

Newest Influx
Has Problems

Federation officials from
six cities met in Washington
last week to deal with the
recent surge in immigration
from the Soviet Union — in-
cluding the problem of
medical care.
The good news, the group
learned, is that despite the
flood of new immigrants, the
absorption system in areas
with major influxes seems to
be working.
The bad news is that the
new arrivals are sicker than
their predecessors, putting a
growing strain on health
care services. Two factors
have come together to pro-
duce this trend; Soviet im-
migrants now tend to be
older than earlier waves of
immigrants. And the low
quality of the Soviet medical
system is showing up in

terms of a high incidence of
conditions like diabetes.
There are also indications
that Soviet Jews are arriv-
ing with more emotional
problems that require
treatment. And there are
unusual cancers — which
some resettlement activists
speculate may be a result of
the 1986 Chernobyl nuclear
disaster.
Soviet Jewry activists are
looking to the Department of
Health and Human Services
Voluntary Agency Refugee
Matching Grant program for
relief. Currently, the HHS
program focuses primarily
on vocational assistance;
Jewish activists are quietly
working to bring more flexi-
bility into the program to
provide things like day care
and counseling services.

R.I. Race Draws
Jewish Interest

In Rhode Island, a race
with major pro-Israel
implications is beginning to
shape up. Rep. Claiborne
Pell, the Democratic incum-
bent, has not yet announced
if he will seek a sixth term in
1990. But several candidates
are already lined up at the
starting gate.

Rep. Claudine Schneider, a
moderate Republican, has
indicated an interest.
Schneider has been close to
President George Bush—and
she has a strongly pro-Israel
voting record during her two
terms in the House.

Also looking over Pell's
shoulder is Democrat
Richard Licht, the former
lieutenant governor and
scion of a well known Jewish
family. Last year, Licht lost
a hotly contested bid to
unseat Sen. John Chafee,
the Republican who has
often locked horns with the
pro-Israel community.
Licht received strong back-
ing from the pro-Israel polit-
ical action committees.
However, he might have a
tougher time raising money
for a race against Schneider,
whose pro-Israel credentials
are impeccable. 0
