whether the JDC accepted or re-
jected their proposal.
"It is the firm belief of the
JDC that no advantage is served
by further attempts by one party
to place blame upon the other
for the failure of any of the
negotiations. That question has
nothing whatsoever to do with
the essential, crucial problems
that confront the communities
and the various allocation com-
mittees. These are how to raise
the maximum sum of money for
all the causes; to determine
what moneys are needed now for
the immediate rescue, relief and
rehabilitation of the surviving
Jews in war-torn Europe, and
what sums are needed now for
the upbuilding of Palestine.
JDC PROPOSALS
"The proposals of the JDC
were based on the proposition
that the differences between the
two agencies had in effect been
both mediated and arbitrated;
first mediated in Cincinnati and
then arbitrated before the Allo-
cations Committee of the New
York United Jewish Appeal for
that community.
"The JDC now, in discussing
these matters with Fred Butzel,
Louis Caplan and Irwin Spiegel
of the Inter-City Welfare Fund
group, stated that it was ready
to accept any one of four for-
mulas. These were the four al-
ternative offers made by the
JDC:
"1. To reconstitute the 1945
United Jewish Appeal on exactly
the same terms as the 1944
agreement, despite the obviously
greater and more cruel need in
Europe in 1945.
"2. To acept the recommenda-
tions of the Committee on Medi-
ation appointed by the Council
of Jewish Federations and Wel-
fare Funds Board of Directors
in Cincinnati on Feb. 11. These
were. (a) The first division of
funds to be on seventeen and a
half million dollars in the ratio
of 60 per cent to th e JDC and
40 per cent to the UPA: There-
after, all sums to be subject to
the action of the UJA Allotment
Committee; (b) The ceiling for
the Jewish National Fund tradi-
tional collections to be $1,000,.
000 (The JDC v oluntarily agreed
to raise this sum of $1,100,000).
(e) The JDC to forego the spe-
cial countervailing amount of
$600,000.
57 PER CENT TO JDC
"3. To extend to the whole
country and pro-rate on a na-
tional scale a formula equivalent
to the findings of the Allocations
Committee of the Greater New
York United Jewish Appeal, viz.,
57 per cent to be turned over
to the JDC and 43 per cent to
the UPA; a roof of $300,000 to
be placed over Jewish National
Fund collections in that area, and
the JDC to hav e the right to
receive $275,000 in earmarked
contributions from Landsmansch-
af ten.
"4. To accept the offer made
by UPA representatives them-
selves, Dr. James G. Heller, Ru-
dolf G. Sonneborn and Henry
Montor, to divide the first $25,-
000,000 raised in the UJA on
the basis of 58 per cent to the
JDC and 42 per cent to the
UPA, with the JDC giving up the
$600,000 which it had received as
an offset sum in view of the
traditional collections of the Jew-
ish National Fund. These are to
be treated in all other respects
1944
as provided for in the
Agreement."

The first In-Camp party of the
Pisgah Lodge, No. 34, Bnai Brith
War Service Fund, was held at
Romulus Air Field on April 17.
Called Millionaire's Night, the
event featured all sorts of games
of chance which were played
with make-believe money. At the
end of the evening each player's
winnings were totalled and gift
certificates awarded to the four
highest winners.
A lunch of Jewish style sand-
wiches of corned beef, pastromi,
tongue, salomi, etc. was served,
along with relishes and cold
drinks and home baked cakes,
furnished by the hostesses, wives
of the Bnai Brith members who
operated the games.
Some 250 servicemen and Wacs
participated in the games. The
first prize was won by Sgt. F.
Weinblatt, who lives in the East
and who had just flown into
camp from India. Sgt. Weinblatt
was thrilled with his good for-
tune, winning some $39,000,000
in make-believe money. The oth-
er prizes were won by Tech. Sgt.
Louis Saviano, Wac Bettie Dunn,
and the consolation prize went
to a Wac who just could not
"win."
Operators of Games
The operators of the games
were Morris Shatzen, Meyer Min-
ken, Irving Dworkin, Isadore
Gussin, Irving Weinstein, Sidney
Sidder, Lou Ceifetz, Milton

kell, Morris Sher, Meyer Leib,
Archie Katcher, Sam Selikowitz,
Meyer Lebowitz, Iry Reiter, Bar-
ney Covent, Leonard Peritz, and
Arthur Silberblatt.
The Lodge even secured a
new member. One of the boys,
Maurice Beyer, whose home is
in the East, when informed the
party was given by Bnai Brith,
told Sylvia Shatzen, one of the
hostesses, that he had always
wanted to join the organization.
