Drive Is Avers bscribed,
UJA to Get $2,550,000

Leaders in Detroit's 1946 Emergency Allied Jewish Campaign,
meeting at the concluding campaign report meeting today at Hotel
Statler, will be presented with the encouraging report that the agencies
supported by the fund-raising arm of the Jewish Welfare Federation
will have this year an operating fund of approximately $3,200,000—
for the United Jewish Appeal for overseas relief and reconstruction
efforts and for local agencies.
Thanks to the drive now coming to a close and to the preliminary
grant secured for 1946 through the War Chest, before it was dissolved,
this unprecedented fund will fulfill local obligations and will pro-
vide a sum of approximately $2,550,000 for the UJA—for the Joint
Distribution Committee, United • Palestine Appeal and National
Refugee Service—representing $550,000 above the objective of the emer-
gency campaign for overseas needs.
Isidore Sobeloff, executive director of the Federation and the
Allied Jewish Campaign, indicated that the contributions received for
the emergency campaign, together with the $900,000 from the War
Chest, will provide the $3,200,000 fund. With $700,000 allocated for local
needs for the support of the Hebrew and Yiddish schools, the Home
for Aged, the numerous other local agencies, as well as the national
causes—HIAS, national hospitals, etc.—the sum of $2,550,000 will
be available for the United Jewish Appeal for overseas relief, for the
settlement of European survivors in Palestine and for the activities

of the National Refugee Service which provides for those who will
be brought to this country.

Nate S. Shapero, chairman of the 1946 Emergency Allied Jewish
Campaign, heartened by the results of the campaign, expressed thanks
to the 3,600 volunteer workers who composed the army of cam-
paigners. Mr. Shapero declared that the devotion and untiring ef-
forts of the workers, many of whom sacrificed their own business in-
terests to assure the success of the drive, was responsible for the
record-breaking achievements of the campaign.

It is emphasized, however, that the solicitations are not ending,
that the workers dare not conclude their activities until every pros-
pective contributor has been reached.

"Thousands of cards are yet to be covered," Mr. Shapero warns.
"Many thousands of dollars are yet to be secured. We dare not
stop until every prospective contributor has been reached. In this
sense, the work goes on! Let us carry on until every Jew—man or
woman, young or old—has been given an opportunity to share in
the great responsibility of saving lives!"
Campaign headquarters will be moved next week from Hotel
Tuller to the offices of the Jewish Welfare Federation of Detroit,
51 W. Warren, CO. 1600. Volunteer solicitors are called upon to
submit their reports at the Federation office and to carry on their
activities until they have reached all their prospects.

Success of the Detroit
Allied Jewish Campaign's drive, and similar successes
throughout the country in behalf of the United Jewish

joicing refugees as they arrived fOr settlement in
Palestine through arrangements by the Joint Distribu-
