The recent cases bring to 63 the number of children to contract the disease in Michigan this year.

All together, 85 church photographers are poring over birth, death and marriage records, parish registries and land deeds in Poland, India, Sri Lanka, Chile and other countries to add to the church's nine-floor, microfilm library in Salt Lake City.

Only the U.S. government and a Colorado firm do more microfilming than the Mormon church, whose 640 genealogy it workers add 4.000 000 rolls of microfilm a month. The church's genealogy library is open to the public and every time a pho75 tographer copies a set of records, the doner gets a copy. Mormons aren't taking any chances on losing their records. Copies are stored in six concrete and steel-reinforced vaults blasted out of solid granite cliffs in the nearby Wasatch Mountains.

Because Mormons use the names to baptize the dead, the church encounters opposition from some governments and all churches. "The major difficulty is the difference in the religion," said Lee Boam, manager of genealogy acquisitions. "If there's one factor we struggle with, that's it. It's an emotional issue. "Some of them consider this a continuation of vicious proselytising.

'Here Militant rabbi campaigns to deport Arabs from Israel JERUSALEM (AP) Rabbi Meir Kahane, who once led the militant Jewish Defense League in New York City, now roams Israel with a bullhorn and a handful of followers in a campaign to drive out Arab residents. He is spurned by the Israeli government, has been arrested numerous times and is sharply criticized by the Israeli press because he wants to deport Arabs from Israel and the territories it occupies. At 46 and with no major following, Kahane is waging a desperate battle for respectability. He was twice defeated in bids for a seat in the Knesset, Israel's parliament, but he runs daily advertisements in the local English-language press in which he bills himself as "the most exciting and dynamic Jewish leader of our times." One reason he wants to get elected to the Knesset is that this would give him parliamentary immunity to arrest. "I can be the same terrorist, the same hooligan, but if I'm a member of parliament I'll have respect," he says.

Morning Worship Sermon Theme: "Who Am 9:45 A.M. Sunday School (Nursery Both Services) By JIM BOARDMAN Associated Press Writer SALT LAKE CITY (AP) You may not be a Mormon now, but the genealogy arm of the Mormon church wants to give you a chance to reconsider once you slip beyond the vale. In its quest to baptize the dead, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints sends genealogists worldwide, from the jungles of Indonesia to the parishes of Poland and the libraries of China, gathering millions of names. "All they are going to do is make the dead Mormons," said church spokesman Wayne J. Metcalfe.

"Everyone that dies deserves that opportunity. If he (the deceased) desires that those ordinances be valid, then they will be." Joseph Smith, founder of the Mormon church, said, "The greatest responsibility in this world that God has laid us is to seek out our dead." "Like Alex Haley in his search for his. roots, one Mormon team trekked deep into the tropical rainforests of Sumatra, where no written records exist, to tape the oral histories of bush people, recalled as far back as 82 generations by one "rememberancer." Another team is stalking names in the wilds of Nigeria.

Mormon genealogists also encounter opposition in the Soviet Union, where librarians and archivists are afraid to release records to a group with "American ties," he said.

Two exceptions are Poland and Hungary. The church hopes to soften resistance to its quest for records next spring when sponsors a worldwide genealogy conference in Salt Lake City, featuring Haley as a speaker. Metcalfe said he expects 10,000 participants from more than countries to attend, including East Germany. "If we can foster cooperation and break down these barriers," then this conference will "absolutely, unquestionably," be of great value to the church and countries that want their records preserved, Boam said. "Regardless of religious bias, when it comes down to the bottom line, records over the world are being preserved that would not have been.

The traffic services division of the Michigan Department of State Police plan to discontinue troopers' selective enforcement patrols when a federal grant to fund the program on M-21 expires Sunday. Traffic services spokesmen said Thursday that the amount of money allocated to continue M-21 selective enforcement is not sufficient to continue the program.

The association commends both state police and the county sheriff patrols for their strict speed limit enforcement on M-21, Dunn said.

Kahane personally delivers his message to Arabs throughout the country and to groups of young American students at his newly opened Jerusalem Museum of the Potential Holocaust. Kahane emigrated to Israel with his wife and four children in 1971, leaving his native Brooklyn because "you have to act on what you say." He says, though, that he still is preoccupied with American Jewry. "We have to work to prevent a tragedy, and the tragedy is that there is going to be a Holocaust in America and no one is saying anything about it." Kahane's Holocaust museum occupies three rooms on the first floor of an old. Arab-style house in Jerusalem. It i is filled with clippings from Ku Klux Klan and American Nazi 'Party newspapers.
