55 Pct. of Prospects Remain
To Be Solicited to Meet Quota

Detroit's 1947 Allied Jewish Campaign is being continued
for a period beyond the allotted time in order to permit the thou-
sands of workers to reach unsolicited prospects and to raise the
balance needed to attain the entire goal of $5,335,000.
With a total of a little more than $3,000,000 raised by mid-
week from approximately 45 per cent of the prospective contribu-
tors, a call has been issued to the JeWs of Detroit not to permit
the drive to lag and to go forth with a great effort to secure the
sum necessary to guarantee the uninterrupted activities in behalf
of rescue work in Europe, the reconstruction of the Jewish Na-
tional Home in Palestine, the settlement of thousands of refugees
in this country and the support of the 54 other local, national
and overseas causes included in the drive.
At Monday's campaign rally of workers, who gathered at a
report meeting at Hotel Statler on Fred M. Butzel Day to honor
the general chairman of the drive on his approaching 70th birth-
.day, Mr. Butzel, responding to toasts in his honor, declared that
while it is "pleasant to receive the community's honors the im-
portant thing to remember is that there are great Jewish needs to
be filled."
He called upon his fellow workers to strive for complete
coverage of their slips and stated that while it is no disgrace if the
entire quota is not raised that i•is a terrific disgrace if the quota
• is attainable and we do not achieve our goal. (Continued on Page 5)

LASE SUCCESS, N. Y.—The political committee of the United Nations,
Tuesday, smoothly completed voting on terms of reference for the inquiry com-
mittee to be established by the General Assembly. The committee defeated the
Soviet-Indian amendment calling for inclusion of "a proposal on the question of
establishing without delay the independent democratic state of Pal.-tine." A
similar Polish proposal—eliminating the words "without delay"—also was de-
feated, and the Arab campaign for independence collapsed on Tuesday.
