Map Campaign
For $5,335,000
Numerous campaign di-
visions of the Detroit Service
Group are in the process of
formation preparatory to in-
augurating the Spring Allied
Jewish Campaign here for a
goal of $5.335,000.

further steps in the drive to
mobilize trade and professional
groups.

method ' for informing Detroit

needs, the group discussed means
for providing stimulating pro-
grams at future meetings. This
committee will meet at 10:4'5
a. m. Sunday at the Center.
Members of the Records Com-
mittee of the Real Estate and
Building Council pledged to se-

campaign. This committee held its
first meeting Sunday, and will re-
port its progress at 11 a. m.
Sunday, March 2, at the Center.

MRS. GEORGE F. PIERROT
WASHINGTON. (JTA)—The extraordinary conference
of Zionist leaders on Feb. 17, convened by American Zionist
Emergency Council, called on the United Nations to issue an
interim order prior to consideration of the Palestine issue,
that the Palestine Mandate be fulfilled without any restric-
tive enactments imposed by Great Britain.
The conference voiced the expectation that the Jewish
Agency will be given representation in all UN deliberations
on Palestine.
A resolution called on the U. S. government to take the
leadership in the new situation and to demonstrate her in-
tention of honoring previously made pledges. The conference
asked the U. S. to use its influence to secure an interim policy
based on the Mandate, particularly the admission of 100,000
Jews to Palestine.
Dr. Abba Hillel Silver said that "the end of the road
with Britain seemed to have been reached." He suggested
it may be advantageous to have the question reviewed by the
international body whose members are "not committed to
appeasing the Arabs as the British are today."
Stressing the importance of the U. S. role, Dr. Silver
said "the final role remains to be seen, but during the last few
months the U. S. government's attitude seems much more
favorable than it has been for a long time."
