Announcement was made this

assumed the chairinanship for

A portion of the income in the
drive, whose 1948 quota has been
set at $50,000, ' will be used to

the hope that there will be a
prompt community-wide response
to help complete the project this

being made to assure the settle-
ment of tens of thousands of DPs
in Israel, and to bring the in-
ternees out of Cyprus, Mr. Schu-
mer said that large stretches of
land have to be redeemed and
made the inalienable property
of the entire Jewish people and
that this is a job to be fulfilled
immediately.
