orgenthau Here to Help Plan Hied Jewish Campaign Quota Re view tel Community Leaders To Set Local Goal at Conference Saturday NEWS of Jewish Events Per Year VOLUME 10—NO. 19 34 4611h. 22 Friday, Jan. 24, 1947 Single Copy 10c; $3 Morrison Federalization Proposal Looms on Agenda at Zion Parley Detroit's great community drive is about to commence. In 1947, the Allied Jewish Campaign quota will have goal of $170,000,000. Special Cable to The Jewish News LONDON (JTA) — When the Palestine conference finally opens here, in all probability on Mon- day, the only proposal will be the Morrison federalization plan and the project for Palestine's inde- pendence as outlined at the first session of the conference last summer by the Arab League, it was indicated on Tuesday in of- ficial British circles. It has been stated the govern- ment has no new plan on hand for submission to the conference. ' Emanuel Neumann, vice-presi- dent of the ZOA, conceded at a press conference Tuesday that the "Jewish Agency would still be prepared to join the confer- ence if the British gave evidence of a desire to change its attitude. Mr. Neumann stresses, however, Zionists, "if they were not in- vited in at the front door would not enter at the back door." He emphasized the Agency has seen no indication Britain is prepared to change its policy. David Ben Gurion, wiTo ar- rived on Tuesday to participate in informal conferences between Zionists and the British, said he expected tip remain here for three weeks, depending on how the talks proceed, adding: "As usual, the subject will be the future of Palestine." The Zionist delegation which ti ill meet with Colonial Secretary Arthur Creech-Jones and per- haps also with Foreign Secretary Bevin will consist, in addition to Ben Gurion, of Moshe Sneh, Moshe Shertok and Isaac Ben- Zvi. The delegation hopes that its ▪ proposal for a Jewish State will be placed before the Arabs by the British. A Jewish spokesman said there is slim hope of a com- promise, but Arab and Jewish moderates are tired of strife. to be commensurate with the national United Jewish Appeal In addition to providing allocations for the Joint Dis- tribution Committee, United Palestine Appeal and United Service for New Americans, the local goal will include the Detroit educational, recreational and social service causes and national American-Jewish agencies. The visit in Detroit this Saturday of Henry Morgenthau Jr., general chairman of the United Jewish Appeal, and the full-day seminar of the Women's Division of the Jewish Welfare Federation on Jan. 30 serve as introductory as- pects to the launching of the Allied Jewish Campaign. Mr. Morgenthau will meet with members of the Community Quota Committee at 8:30 o'clock, Saturday evening, at the Rackham Memorial Bldg. All Trade and Professional Groups of the Detroit Service Group, leaders of the Jewish Welfare Federation, heads of the Women's and Junior Divisions of the Detroit Service Group, as well as key people in all walks of life in the community and outstanding Allied Jewish Compaign workers will confer on the goal in the forthcoming drive. On the basis of funds raised last year—$2,800,000 during Emergency Allied Jewish Campaign, $912,000 from the War Chest and $90,000 for civic-protective causes—it is reason- able to assume the 1947 Detroit goal may have to be set at approximately $5,000,000. The increase is necessitated by the establishment of a national United Jewish Appeal quota of $170,000,000, as compared with the $100,000,000 goal of 1946. The 70 per cent national increase accounts for the vastly the greater demand for funds to be made upon Detroit Jewry dur- ing the coming months. —Joint Distribution Committee Photo The 17-year-old lad.
