U.S. to visit Soviet clinics
Dissident claims political activists held in mental institutions
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON - U.S. psychiatrists will visit Soviet institutions where the Reagan administration claims human rights activists are wrongly detained, the State Department announced yesterday.
The inspections probably will be held in January, with the Soviets having the opportunity to make a reciprocal to the United States "to study and analyze the U.S. payment process." department spokesman Charles E. Redman said.
Soviet dissident psychiatrist Anatoly Koryagin said last year that he knew of 183 musical activists detained in his custody.
Koryagin was imprisoned for "anti-Soviet agitation" in 1981 after detailing numerous cases in which political dissidents were confined in Soviet mental hospitals. After examining many, he diagnosed them as sane.
During his imprisonment, he was tortured, mentally abused and given powerful psychotropic drugs. Koryagin sat.
Leading Soviet dissident Andrei D. Sakharov, during a visit to Washington last week, called detention in psychiatric institutions for political purposes "one of the most acute abuses of human rights" in his country.
JERUSALEM — U.S. and Canadian Jewish groups yesterday began fighting a proposal that would accept only Orthodox conversions to Judaism and limit converts who can immigrate to Israel.
Koryagin, who was freed in February 1987, said there were 16 such institutions

Matthew McIlugh. D-N.Y., told reporters the past week an engender-sen scholar which would not be healthy for the engender-sen relationship.
His congressional delegation, organized by the U.S.-based Defamation League of B'nai B'rith, was one of three U.S. and Canadian Jewish groups lobbying in Israel against the amendment.
The amendment would give Orthodox rabbis exclusive authority to approve conversions to Judaism.
Ultra-Orthodox political parties are demanding the change as a price for supporting either the right-wing or left-wing Labor party. The 18 parliament seats they won in Nov. 2013, mean them the power to choose who heads the next government.

Hyundai Computers Introduced to Kansas
DENVER (FSI). The Hyundai Corporation has selected Connecting Point Computer Centers as their exclusive authorized dealer in Lawrence and Manhattan, Kansas. This selection follows the signing of a major supply contract with the 180 store Connecting Point chain here last month.
Hyundai, the $24 billion company known for its high quality, economic cars, has been a major producer of microcomputers for the past several years.
Hyundai's Super 16TE line of PCs follows their automotive tradition of price/performance. Myles Schachter, Connecting Point President, said that he chose the Hyundai product line because of its great price, high speed and excellent software bundle. Each Hyundai, he said, is fast at 10 MHz or twice as fast as the original PC; has a full 640K memory, 12" or "14" flat amber screen and a 101 keyboard.
The Electric Desk software included with every computer is a quality word processor, spreadsheet and database. The system also comes with Keyworks, a program to store keystrokes.
Dr. Rhonda Ross, the firm's Customer Support Manager, has found that the price has not compromised the construction of these powerful PCs. She states that the systems appear to be trouble free and highly compatible. She said this explains the manufacturer's 18 month warranty - in excess of the industry standard
Hyundai Super 16TE
Due to the new Connecting Point-Hyundai contract, the Manhattan and Lawrence stores are introducing these PCs at more than 20% off already competitivecompatible prices with training included with every purchase. Already,United Telephone Midwest Group, Meninginger's Foundation and PARS Service has selected Connecting Point to provide Hyundai PCs to their employees.
