AMERICAN FRIENDS OF THE HEBREW UNIVERSITY, INC. MICHIGAN CHAPTER 29100 Northwestern Hwy., Suite 120 • Southfield, MI 48034 • (313) 357-0510 Pace Of Soviet Aliya Picks Up Jerusalem (JTA) — The pace of aliyah from the Soviet Union picked up quickly as the fighting end- ed in the Persian Gulf. During the final five days of February, about 500 Soviet immigrants per day arrived in Israel, about twice the daily rate during the first five weeks of the war. But war jitters brought the monthly immigration total for February down to 7,164 Soviet Jews, according to the Jewish Agency for Israel. That is just over half the number of Soviet Jews who arrived in January and not even a fourth of the record 35,000 who arrived in December. Concern about the Iraqi missile attacks on Israel, however, did not deter a large number of Ethiopian Jews from immigrating last month. Aliyah from Ethi- opia totaled 1,100, the highest rate since the end of Operation Moses six years ago. According to the National Conference on Soviet Jewry in New York, February's immigration figures bring Soviet Jewish aliyah for 1991 so far to 20,524. The Jewish Agency and the ISraeli government expect some 300,000 Soviet Jews to arrive by the end of the year. On March 4, HIAS re- ported that 1,713 Soviet Jews immigrated to the United States last month, up from 1,300 in January. Scuds May Have Survived War Jerusalem (JTA) — Israeli military sources believe a number of mobile Iraqi Scud missile launchers may have survived the Persian Gulf war unscathed. According to the sources, all 30 stationary launchers were wiped out by American and allied bombers before they could fire a single mis- sile. But Iraq also had 20 to 30 mobile launchers before the war started on Jan. 17, some in the south and some in western Iraq, from where they were used against Israel. Only 6 percent of the 110,000 allied sorties flown during the war were aimed at the mobile launchers in western Iraq, the sources said. The 39 Scuds that hit Israel carried conventional high- explosive warheads. Gov. James J. Blanchard Max M. Fisher HONORARY CHAIRMEN Goldie Adler Louis Berry Irwin Green Prof. William Haber David B.
