downtown office, however,
would be maintained, along
with the offices of the
Detroit Jewish Community
Council. Mr. Schlussel said
he didn't know where these
offices would be located. He
said it was too early to say
what the Federation would
do with 163 Madison.
"The Jewish Welfare Fed-
eration fully intends to
maintain offices downtown,"
Mr. Schlussel said. "But we
are interested in exploring
the possibilities of moving
our central service personnel
within the proximity of the
the Jewish community, to
make the Federation more
accessible to the community
at large." Mr. Schlussel said
the Federation leadership is
sensitive about moving from
the city to the suburbs. But,
he said, the Federation
needs to be closer to the
community it is serving.
"Federation's role in the
Jewish community has
expanded dramatically,"
Mr. Schlussel said. "The
need for facilities which will
better serve the Jewish
community is essential. It is
important that the Federa-
tion be more accessible to
the Jewish community and
be there for a myriad of
community activities not
just as a working address for
its professional staff. We
want the Federation
building to be a beehive of
activity."

Federation executive vice
president Bob Aronson said
there is a real concern over
the reaction of the general
Detroit community to the
possible relocation and that
efforts will be made to main-
tain close ties with the City
of Detroit.
'We plan on maintaining
and really continuing to
build a strong relationshp
with the black community,

the business community, the
United Way and other com-
munity organizations," Mr.
Aronson said.
"Therefore, we intend to
consult on a face-to-face
basis with all of the leader-
ship of the general commun-
ity of Detroit, of which we
consider ourselves an impor-
tant part. And we have time
to do it, and we want to take
our time to do it right, be-
cause all we are doing
should the executive com-
mittee and the board ap-
prove, is banking a piece of
land for the future develop-
ment of a federation
building. At the same time,
we are maintaining our
presence in the city of
Detroit." ❑

Some Israeli Homeless
Want To Live In U.S.

Jerusalem (JTA) — A
small group of Jerusalem
homeless camped Monday on
the grounds of the U.S. Con-
sulate in East Jerusalem,
declaring they would apply
for refugee status in the
United States because they
cannot live normal lives in
their own country.
American officials
distributed alien immigra-
tion application forms.
One woman said she would
rather live on the streets of
New York than be without a
home in Israel.
Although the 20-odd dem-
onstrators were only a hand-
ful, they represented a grow-
ing number of Israelis af-
fected by the nation's hous-
ing crisis.
They derived little comfort
from Sunday's meeting of
the so- called Aliyah
Cabinet, the ministerial
committ,e directly concern-
ed with immigration and ab-
sorption, which includes
housing.

Absorption Minister Yit-
zhak Peretz was pessimistic
when he emerged from the
meeting.
"Many immigrants will
come in the near future," he
said, but "regardless of our
wishes, we shall not be able
to supply them all with
housing."
Mr. Peretz believes the
country will have to revert
to the solutions of the early
1950s, when immigrants,
arriving mainly from North
Africa, had to be housed in
shanty towns known as
"ma'abarot."
When Finance Minister
Yitzhak Moda'i offered the
same solution several weeks
ago, he was denounced by
various immigrant groups.
The Cabinet approved
$500 million last week
toward Housing Minister
Ariel Sharon's plan to im-
port prefabricated houses
and mobile homes. But the
ministers could not agree on
the source of the funds.
