one in every 1,000 babies born in this
country is either deaf or afflicted with
a severe hearing disorder at birth. To
add insult to injury, a panel of experts
assembled by the National Institutes
of Health (NIH) has concluded that
less than half of these hearing im-
paired newborns is diagnosed as
having hearing problems until the
associate problems of compromised
speech and language development
manifest themselves later on. On the
basis of this finding, the NIH recom-
mends that all infants be screened to
detect any auditory problems within
the first three months of life. With-
out question, following the NIH's rec-
ommendation can go a long way in
averting the problems that are likely
to arise from early hearing loss.
It's important that children are
screened early to detect a hearing loss
problem. At CRUZ HEARING AID
SERVICE, our certified audiologist will
be happy to answer any questions that
you may have about the options avail-
able for children suffering from hear-
ing loss. We carry different brands of
hearing instruments in order to select
the one that best suits your individual
needs. We also have many acces-
sories in stock, such as batteries and
battery testers, Dri-aid kits, ear mold
cleaners, and more. We have devoted
our careers to helping people who are
suffering from hearing loss. Come in
and see how we can help you. We are
conveniently located at 18899 W. 12
Mile Rd., in Lathrup Village, and our
phone number is 424-8450.
P.S. If a child's hearing loss is not
ideniffied until age three, he or she is
likely to learn less over a lifetime due
to reduced ability to use language
skills.

Since 1971
Jerusalem (JTA) — Israeli secu-
rity forces were placed on high
alert this week amid reports that
Hamas militants were planning
a terror attack to coincide with
President Clinton's visit to the
Middle East.
Some 15,000 Israeli police
were slated to be on duty for the
signing ceremony of the Israeli-
Jordanian peace treaty in the Ar-
ava, which Mr. Clinton was
scheduled to attend, and for the
president's subsequent visit to
Jerusalem.
American security teams ar-
rived in Israel early in the week
to set up security arrangements
at the signing ceremony with
their Israeli and Jordanian coun-
terparts.
In the wake of last week's ter-
ror bombing of a bus in Tel Aviv,
the government continued its
crackdown this week on mem-
bers of Hamas, which claimed re-
sponsibility for the bombing and
other recent attacks on Israelis.
Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin
said that Israeli security forces
apprehended two Hamas mem-
bers who had helped the terror-
ist who carried out last week's
bombing. The terrorist had
stayed at the home of one of them
the night before the Oct. 19 at-
tack, Mr. Rabin said.
The Rabin government mean-
while weathered three no-confi-
dence votes in the Knesset this
week. The no-confidence mea-
sures brought by the opposition
said the government was "unable
to ensure the security" of the Is-
raeli people.
In the Gaza Strip, Hamas po-
litical leader Mahmoud Zahar
asked the Palestinian police to
protect the Islamic group's ac-
tivists, according to Israel Radio.
Hamas leaders in the West
Bank and Gaza warned of in-
creasing violence and tension if
Israel carries out what they said
were plans to assassinate Hamas
leaders.
Israeli security sources dis-
missed the Hamas claims, but
confirmed that Israel had
launched a wide-scale crackdown
against the organization that has
resulted in the arrests of dozens
of Hamas members.
In Cairo, Israeli and Palestin-
ian leaders issued a joint state-
ment condemning terror.
The statement was issued af-
ter a meeting of the Israeli-Pales-
tinian Liaison Committee, the
steering group overseeing the on-
going negotiations, at which the
two sides discussed the recent
wave of Hamas terror attacks.
Despite the Tel Aviv bus bomb-
ing, which claimed 23 lives and
left more than 40 wounded, Is-
raeli and Palestinian negotiators
meeting in Cairo continued their
talks on the upcoming Palestin-
ian elections.
In Israel, Foreign Minister
Shimon Peres told the Knesset
Foreign Affairs and Defense
Committee that Israel had re-
jected Palestinian demands that
a president and governing coun-
cil of the autonomous regions be
elected separately.
Mr. Peres also said that Israel
had rejected a Palestinian pro-
posal that the governing council

Palestinian leaders

statement
condemning terror.
be a 100-member body. The Is-
raeli side has instead been say-
ing it should consist of 30
members and have legislative
and executive powers in lieu of a
separately elected president.
Mr. Peres also said that Israel
had asked Jordan to stop Hamas
activities in Amman.
In the Jordanian capital this
week, some 1,500 people, mostly
university students, demon-
strated against Jordan's peace
treaty with Israel, with leaders
of Hamas, Islamic Jihad and the
Muslim Brotherhood all vowing
to undermine the accord.

Amsterdam (JTA) — An exhibit

ing the Nazi occupation of the
Netherlands.

and artist who died in 1956.

lands in 1939 upon the interven-
tion of prominent Dutch artists.
He survived the Holocaust in hid-
ing.

til Nov. 20:
