A24 TUESDAY, MAY 4, 1999 LOS ANGELES TIMES' Obituary REPAY Jack Needleman; Clothing Executive should be prosecution and the American people should be reimbursed for benefits received under false pretenses," said Ira Mehlman, West Coast representative for the Federation for American Immigration Reform. Sandra Flores, 27, a legal immigrant from Guatemala, says that she was never accused of any wrongdoing. Upon returning from a 1997 trip to Guatemala, she was quizzed by an INS inspector at Los Angeles International Airport about past health care benefits. She acknowledged that Medi-Cal paid for the delivery of her daughters, Wendy, 8, and Maria, 4. Flores, who is a legal permanent resident, is entitled to the benefits.

Even so, Flores said, the INS agent at the airport told her: "You'll have to pay it back." Two months later, the California Department of Health Services sent a letter to Flores, noting that she had received $6,632 in Medi-Cal benefits for the birth of her two daughters. The letter noted that it was not a debt or a demand for repayment. But Flores said it was made clear to her, by a state investigator and the INS, that she would be deported if she did not pay. She and her husband, a hotel worker, borrowed the money. "I worried about what would happen to my children if I was deported," said Flores, who lives with her husband and two children in a one-bedroom apartment in Hollywood.

Moreover, Flores said, she was told to discontinue Medi-Cal coverage for her children. Even now, Flores said, her family remains uninsured. "Not having insurance is a constant source of worry for us," Flores said. "I just have to pray that my children don't get seriously ill." relatives who wish to emigrate legally. U.S.

immigration law has long barred prospective immigrants who are likely to be a drain on public resources. "Women in the eighth month of pregnancy with incredibly risky pregnancies are not applying for Medi-Cal because it might affect their status," said Lynn Kersey, executive director of Maternal and Child Health Access, a nonprofit group. Many of those affected are children born in the United States, who are entitled to public assistance but whose immigrant parents refuse the help out of fear. "Immigrants are looking for some reassurance that they're not creating more problems for themselves by getting their kids insurance," said Doug Porter, chief of Medi-Cal programs in California. Davis' decision to end the initiative is an example of the state's new era of more immigrant-friendly politics.

The governor last month signaled his intention to mediate an end to the protracted legal battle surrounding Proposition 187, the 1994 ballot initiative that sought to deny illegal immigrants such public services as education and medical care. In addition, state officials have joined immigrant advocates in calling for the INS to ignore whether prospective immigrants have received health care benefits in the past when deciding admissions. The INS is now reexamining the policy. Activists seeking to slow the number of new immigrants worry that the changes could allow for fraud. Federal investigators have found some foreign visitors, including wealthy tourists, who billed the government for costly surgery.

"If there's fraud, there certainly Continued from A3 names" by repaying the department for past Medi-Cal benefits, the audit said. In one case, a recipient was told to repay $33,000, even though the person had received only $3,200 worth of benefits. The audit also found that state investigators attempted to influence INS decisions over who was eligible to enter and remain in the United States. INS officials eventually complained about state intrusion into federal immigration decisions, the audit noted. Faced with several federal lawsuits over the policy, California has already agreed to return almost $4 million to thousands of immigrants who say they were coerced into paying.

The 16 state workers assigned to the program have been transferred to other anti-fraud initiatives, said Walter Barnes, deputy director for audits and investigations for the California Department of Health Services. While applauding the decision to end the program, health professionals cite the program's ominous legacy: Thousands of immigrants are now afraid to apply for Medi-Cal and other public health programs to which they are legally entitled. This chilling effect, health professionals say, has swelled the rolls of the uninsured and could result in more dangerous and costly emergency room visits, as well as the spread of untreated disease. Many noncitizens now worry that receiving public benefits could subject them or their children to deportation, spoil their chances for permanent residence status, or make them ineligible to sponsor The Times in 1994. "I could've sold it a hundred times.

But we have a destiny here." A rags-to-riches individualist, Needleman rankled fellow garment district businessmen in 1993 when he refused to pay a voluntary assessment to make the area clean and safe. The tax to businesses for maintaining the area was made mandatory with enactment of a Business Improvement District in 1995. "I've been in real estate for 45 years, and I have faith in the city's great sanitation department," said Needleman, explaining why he considered the voluntary fees unnecessary. "We have stayed in business by taking care of ourselves. The only moral obligation I have is to dignify my own buildings." The entrepreneur once described his Anjac women's clothing line for The Times as "dresses that are comfortable, practical, simple to get into and out of." Anjac was launched with a dress Needleman designed to resemble an attractive robe his wife often wore.

The label has specialized in semi-fitted one-or two-piece dresses with long sleeves, easy skirts and modified cowl necklines, most popularly in black. "We believe in the California culture and clothes we design here," Needleman told The Times in 1976. "I feel there is more designer talent here than anyplace. We design what we feel women will like." Although he had lived in Los Angeles since 1943, Needleman was not a native Californian. He was born in New York City and, after dropping out of high school against his parents' wishes, cut his teeth as a jobber in the garment district there.

He promised his mother he would succeed even without a diploma, and in turn became mentor and teacher to many, as well as a USC donor. "He was like a teacher and a great coach," Anjac operations manager Veronica Becerra told the Downtown News. "Whenever young people came in and wanted to start their own businesses, he would remind them that he started with nothing, and they would walk away energized and filled with inspiration." Needleman urged his own three sons Dennis, Marc and Steve to succeed without his backing and refused to co-sign their business loans. He later gloried in the success of their Denmarst which developed shopping centers and other properties. The family is known in Los Angeles business circles for its mutual affection and its members' ability to work together.

Among Needleman's major financial gifts was the $l-million Annette and Jack Needleman Center for Cancer Research at the City of Hope in Duarte. His widow, three sons and seven grandchildren have asked that memorial contributions be made to the City of Hope or to the donor's favorite charity. By MYRNA OLIVER TIMES STAFF WRITER Jack Needleman, a high school dropout who became one of the Los Angeles garment district's most successful and influential businessmen and property owners, has died. He was 77. Needleman, a major philanthropist who bestowed millions of dollars on USC, the City of Hope and hundreds of charities, died April 25 in Los Angeles of prostate cancer.

He was the co-founder of Anjac, a clothing manufacturing company he started in the early 1940s, using a combination of his name and that of his wife, Annette. In addition to Anjac, Needleman went on to own 60 buildings and many parking lots in the city's historic core. As proprietor of primarily older structures, he became an influential and usually supportive figure to developers and preservationists and a major donor to the Los Angeles Conservancy. Needleman's holdings included the Orpheum Theatre, one of the most opulent of the old Broadway movie palaces, and the Grand Olympic Auditorium, which he made available for boxing matches and for use as a gym for underprivileged youths. When Needleman bought the Olympic from the Los Angeles Athletic Club in 1980, many feared he would raze it perhaps to build one of his parking lots.

Instead, he restored it. "Tear it down? Never," he told OBITUARIESFUNERAL ANNOUNCEMENTS SUGA, Irene Sachiko, 79 Beloved Funeral Notices GARCIA, Mary Armstrong Family Directors BROWN, Robert J.
