)- o Phyllis and Albert Newman Hospital's Ein Karem Speech and Hearing Center in Jerusalem. The Newmans, active members of Hadassah, started the project when Israeli government and in- surance funding for hearing aids was phased out. "There is usually money for life-saving procedures," said Mrs. Newman, a past president of Hadassah's Greater Detroit Chapter. "But people need to re- member about quality of life, too." The Newmans, who fund an endowment in pediatric audiology at Hadassah Hospital, learn& about the need for hearing aids in ISrael from the head of the hospital's Speech and Hear- ing Center. "It's the poor and elderly that most often suffer," said Mr. Newman. "I thought I could see what I could do." Mr. Newman, who has made more than 30 trips to Israel, contacted an out-of- state manufacturer of hear- ing aids. The manufacturer agreed to repair for free any hearing aid the Newmans sent. Mr. Newman sends and, frequently, hand delivers shipments of repaired hearing aids. The Newmans receive used hearing aids from Hadassah chapters around the country. They also have started to receive them from the National Association for the Homes for the Aged. Arnold Budin, executive director of the Jewish Home for Aged in Detroit, is work- ing with the Newmans and the Greater Detroit Chapter of Hadassah. "We commend the Newmans' efforts on behalf of the hearing impaired," Mr. Budin said. "We want to start donating our clients' used hearing aids." All sorts of people benefit from the Newmans' project: A 70-year-old widower; an 86-year-old man who im- migrated to Israel from the Soviet Union; a 90-year-old Lithuanian woman who hid more than 20 Jews in her home during World War II. "I sat with a man from Dimona while he was being fitted with one of our hear- ing aids," Mrs. Newman said. "There are few greater thrills than watching some- one regain his or her hear- ing.

Mr. Bush, in Detroit for I N half a day for a GOP fund- raiser, came to Southfield for an open forum with law en- forcement officials, judges, prosecutors and invited guests.
