Hate Crimes Bill
Wrinkles Ironed Out

In two weeks, Jewish
groups here will celebrate an
important landmark in the
fight against anti-Semitism
— the implementation of the
Hate Crimes Statistics Act,
which will gather informa-
tion from across the country
on crimes based on the vic-

Charles Schumer:
Laying groundwork.

tims' race, religion or na-
tional origin.
But the Jewish activists
who fought tooth and nail for
the bill's passage are too
busy ironing out the details
of its implementation to un-
cork the champagne.
Recently, Rep. Charles

.

Schumer (D-N.Y.) called a
meeting under the aegis of
his Judiciary subcommittee
on criminal justice to lay
some of the groundwork.
"It was essentially a pep
talk and strategy session on
implementation," said
Michael Lieberman, associ-
ate director and counsel for
the Washington office of the
Anti-Defamation League.
"It's a very complex process,
and we want to continue
having input."
ADL, which played a
leading role in the broad co-
alition that lobbied suc-
cessfully for the bill, worked
with FBI officials to draft
the initial guidelines for
implementing the statistics
package.
The resulting guidelines
are improved, and pretty
much ready to be sent out to
the 16,000 local, state and
federal agencies that report
to the FBI as part of the bu-
reau's Uniform Crime
Reports program, Mr.
Lieberman said. The actual
process of gathering
statistics on hate crimes
begins on January 1 — a
milestone that ADL will be
watching closely, Mr.
Lieberman promised.

Jewish Democratic
Council Sets Up Shop

After a long and difficult
gestation period, the Na-
tional Jewish Democratic
Council is officially opening
for business this week in
Washington.
"We're really excited
about opening our Washing-
ton office," said Stephen
Gutow, the group's new ex-
ecutive director. "We hope to
be the center of a strong
nationwide effort to involve
Jews at every level of the po-
litical process."
The Council, an outgrowth
of the Jewish effort on behalf
of Michael Dukakis in 1988,
is an attempt to prevent
losses of Jewish voters to the
Republicans — something
that analysts keep predic-
ting will occur in an avalan-
che, but which has really oc-
curred only in a trickle.
"This has gone through a
real evolutionary process,"
said Morton Mandel, the
group's chairman. "We see
this as a pro-active group
concerned with America and
with preserving the values
that are very important to

the Democratic Party and
the Jewish community. It's
no longer enough to leave it
to chance; it's something
that's important enough to
work on."

Rep. Smith's
Bold Move

It may not matter much to
the folks in Peoria, but to
pro-Israel activists it's a
significant change: Rep.
Larry Smith (D-Fla) is mov-
ing over to the Appropria-
tions Committee.
And in the process, Mr.
Smith, who's bulldog pro-
Israel style has endeared
him to many Jewish ac-
tivists and irritated some of
his colleagues, gave up his
seats on the foreign affairs
and judiciary committees.
According to sources close
to Mr. Smith, the decision
was a strategic one; on ap-
propriations, the legislator
hopes to have more leverage
on the question of foreign aid
for Israel. 0

Several causes of numbness and tingling to the arms originate in the
neck. Perhaps the most common is restriction of movement of a spinal joint.
This may cause direct friction to the nerve root as it exits the spine, or
secondary muscle tightness which can also produce nerve friction. Factors
such as degeneration or thinning of the spinal discs, narrow the nerve open-
ings in the spine and predispose to nerve irritation. Those with disc thin-
ning or degeneration, however, respond to treatment well if normal joint
movement can be restored with manipulation.
DR. LEVINE
J.K. Paterson, a medical doctor from Great Britain, performed a large
study on patients with spinal pain syndromes. Of the 364 patients studied with cervical spine
or neck disorders, 115 reported numbness, tingling or pain to one or both arms. A complete relief
of symptoms was obtained in 90% of the patients with neck disorders using chiropractic.
Numbness or tingling to one or both arms is usually the result of a pinched or irritated nerve
in the neck. Examination will reveal the cause and rule out "poor circulation." Chiropractic treat-
ment is most often successful in resolving this condition and should be considered in anyone with
these symptoms.
