r
City of 30,000 Jews Seeks
Half of Detroit's ILIA Goal
Milwaukee,. a Strong Zionist Community, Has One Third
of Detroit's Jewish Population, Yet Has $1,000,000
United Jewish Appeal Campaign
By PHILIP SLOMOVITZ
MILWAUKEE, Wis.—Nearly two weeks before Detroit
Jewry officially launched its $2,000,000 drive for the United
Jewish Appeal for Refugees, Overseas Needs and Palestine,
the Milwaukee Jewish community began a campaign for
$1,000,000.
How does this compare with Detroit?
In view of the inevitability of
some people being just a bit
skeptical r e go r ding Detroit's
.power in fund-raising in a drive
for a quota fully twice as large
as any previous goal, a compari-
son is in order.
30,000 in Milwaukee
Milwaukee has a Jewish popu-
lation of approximately 30,000—
about one third of Detroit's.
• Milwaukee has a Jewish hos-
•pital—Mt. Sin a i—which has
abandoned a drive for funds this
year because it is self-sustaining.
On the eve of launching its
$1,000,000 drive, Milwaukee start-
ed a drive for $750,000 for its
Jewish Center, and for the erec-
tion of an additional Center
building—and the first reported
result in this drive is $160,000.
Several Other Drives
In addition, Milwaukee has
other drives—all of which are
now being abandoned until the
$1,000,000 is raised. The Jewish
National Fund of Milwaukee
raised $90,000 , last year. Its
other causes have been over-
subscribed.
A strong Zionist community,
defense and reconstruction funds
for Palestine and for relief have
met with great success—and Mil-
waukee is not frightened by its
$1,000,000 goal. .
Out of its $1,000,000 quota, only
$75,000 is being allocated to local
needs, including the school sys-
tems and all social service
agencies.
Watch Detroit, Milwaukee
On the basis of this comparison
it is clear that Detroit would not
be asked too much if the United
Jewish Appeal goal were to be
set at $3,000,000—three times
Milwaukee's on the basis of our
Jewish population being three
times the size • of Milwaukee's
Jewry. -
The entire country is watching
communities like Detroit and
Milwaukee.
There should be a feeling of
confidence that none of our com-
munities will dare to fall down
on the job, the responsibility to
European Jewry and to Palestine
being too great.

An evaluation of the vocational

They are also agreed that ef-

does not begin with testing, but
with interviews with a skilled

discussed and evaluated, in the
