points to an oversubscription of the original goal by pos-
sibly another $500,000.
With the originally-set final workers' luncheon meet-

ing taking place today, it has
become apparent during the week
that the drive will be extended
for another week to enable the
workers to reach the 15,000 pros-
pects who have' not yet made
their contributions. Leaders are
confident that the. additional
$500,000 is "in the cards" of the
unsolicited prospects.
At Monday's luncheon meeting,
the total attained was reported
by Irving W. Blumberg to be
$1,716,572—a sum secured from
12,672 contributors.
Henry Montor Speaker
The guest speaker, Henry Mon-
tor, executive vice-president of
the National United Jewish Ap-
peal, declared that "the essence
of the campaign is that we are
our brothers' keepers; that we
are faithful to our responsibil-
ities; that the campaign is an
expression of our basic compas-
sion as Jews; that we recognize
that whenever Jews are attacked
and hurt our own position is
threatened."
Mr. Montor declared that Jews
have no time—that for them
time has run out, that it is a
problem of time because we are
losing so many of the survivors
even after the heroic handful had
succeeded in remaining alive dur-
ing the terrible Nazi years.
In four months, Mr. Montor
pointed out, 30,000 Jews were
reported as having embraced
Christianity, being unable, fur-
ther to wait for rescue efforts.
`Impossible Is Possible'
Mr. Montor related a story re-
garding Edward M. M. Warburg,
when he expressed the view to
survivors in Germany, that he
could not supply them with a
linotype machine, was admon-
ished: "If you look at us you will
learn that the impossible is
possible."
Mr. Montor described how the
United Jewish Appeal is meet-
ing with great success in many
communities. He declared that
the survivors crave for such
a response because they are
anxious for the message from
this country that American Jews
are their brothers.
Henry Wineman, who presided
at Monday's luncheon meeting,
expressed gratitude over the
rrecommendation of the inquiry
committee on Palestine that 100,-
000 be admitted at once, and de-
clared that American Jews
should protest British stalling
tactics.
`Out to Raise All We Can'
A proposal made by Abe Kasle
at Monday's meeting that the
campaign be extended another
week and that Detroit adopt a

new quota of $3,500,000 was taken
under advisement by the cam-
paign leaders who will act on it
this week.
Isidore Sobeloff, director of
the drive, stated that "we are out
to raise all we can and we will
not stop until we reach every
possible prospect."
Wednesday's rally was devoted
to reports by the women who
raised the large sum of $300,000.
The guest speaker on Wednes-
day was the noted radio com-
mentator, H. R. Baukhage.
The First Report
Fred M. Butzel presided at the
luncheon meeting on May 9, at
which Mr. Shapero announced
that a total of $1,566,327 was
raised up to that time.
Maj. George Fielding Eliot,
guest speaker at this meeting, ex-
pressed the hope that this coun-
try would admit large numbers
of immigrants. At the same
time, discussing the report of
the inquiry committee, he ap-
proved of American participation
in the responsibility of imple-
menting the settling immediately
of 100,000 Jews in Palestine.
Maj. Eliot said he believed that
at least 15,000 die each in the
European displaced persons
camps and urged immediate help
for the survivors or there. will be
no one left to receive assistance.

Recommendations for proposed
amendments to the Jewish Com-
munity Council's Constitution, as
well as nominations for the exec-
utive committee of the Council,
are on the agenda for the dele-
gates' meeting next Thursday
evening, at the Jewish Center.
The proposed amendments are
intended to democratize the
methods of election of the mem-
bers of the Executive Committee.
The committee recommends that
the nominations committee slate
be presented to the delegates
meeting prior to t h e election
meeting, elections to take place
at the following meeting.
Clarence Enggass, chairman,
Mrs. Lewis Daniels, Dr. S. Klein-
man, Morris Lieberman, Max
