Extraordinary measures to support the program of mass
migration of Jews from the displaced persons camps of Europe
to Israel are announced by the Jewish Welfare Federation
which last week outlined a plan to make cash available to the
United Jewish Appeal. Fifteen emergency collection depots
are being opened to provide a continuous flow of cash from

Detroit.
The first step in the program
resulted in the immediate dis- ,
patch of $575,000 cash remittance
made possible by a Federation
bank loan. The recommendation
for the loan originated at a recent
telephonic conference at which
Federation heard a report by
Henry Morgenthau, Jr., general
UJA chairman, on his return
from Israel. The loan for $500,000
Was approved by the Executive
committee of the Federation and
the board of the United Jewish
Charities.

it could consider an invitation to
join - with all the citizens of 'De-
troit in a larger effort that would
insure better hospital facilities
for all.
That the new -drive will have
the double significance of adding
hospital beds 'as well as knitting
the entire community more closely
together in a humanitarian cause
is evidenced by the nature of the
sponsorship of the 14 partner in-
stitutions in the new project: In-

Other resolutions adopted at
the parley commended the stand
"taken by President Truman in
repelling the attacks against the
state of Israel during the current
session of the UN" and urged
the President to continue to "use
his power .for the fulfillment of
the pronounced purpose of mak-
ing Israel a member of the UN."
The Council unanimously went
on record approving the settle-
ment in the United Palestine Ap-
peal which "thus assures united
fund-raising in America for
needs in Israel." -
A report on membership pre-
sented by Joseph Goldberg, mem-
bership chairman, revealed that
the present enrollment in the
Z.O.A. stands at 280,000-30 per
cent more than last year.
Asserting that the "Jewish
people everywhere, and we in
Israel in particular, can be sat-
isfied with the achievements of
this year," Eliahu Epstein, Is-
raeli representatiVe to the United
States, told a conference of the
National Council of the Zion-
ists-Revisionist Organization of
America that "nothing could be
more dangerous than to assume
that we have already reached
the end of our winding road and
that the existence of the state
of Israel is already secure."

In a joint statement 'Julian II.
Krolik, president, and Maurice
Aronsson, 1948 campaign chair-
man,' appealed to contributors to
pay all of their pledges to the
Allied Jewish Campaign as soon
as possible. "Unless more dollars
are forthcoming immediately,"
they said, "immigrati`n to Israel
must be curtailed, inflicting a
tragic blow on displaced persons
and on the Jewish State."
The statement recognized that
the pledges made in the Spring
campaign are payable over a full
year ending in the Spring of 1949,
but,. in view of the desperate
- situation, urged contributors to
make payments now.
After the emergency action to
secure the bank loan, the Federa-
tion turned its full energy to
speeding up the collection of
unpaid pledges. Maurice -A. Eng-
gass, chairman of the collection
committee of the Detroit Service
Group, pointed out that over
$3,500,000 had been collected on
1948 pledges. "Though the rate
of collections this year is ahead
of our experience in 1947, "Mr.
Enggass, said, "the emergency
need. impels us to make unpre-
cedented efforts to speed up
payments."
Collection Committees have
been appointed and are at work
in all 'divisions of the Service
Group. Louis Robinson is chair-
Man of the collection committee
for the mercantile division; Louis
C. Blumberg, chairman of serv-
ices division; Abe Kasle, mechan-
ical trades division; Barney
Smith, building trades division;
Tom Borman and Morris Mendel-
son, food sevices council; Harry
H. Platt, professional division;
Adolph P. Goldberg and Lew
Wisper, arts and crafts division.
The Women's Division, under
the leadership of Mrs. Daniel
Krouse, chairman of the collec-
tion committee, anticipated the
collection campaign by declaring
Nov. 29, collection day.
The Junior Division, under the
chairmanship of Lawrence A.
Fleischman, has devloped a pro-
gram for all divisions to take
place on Sunday, Dec. 19. Mem-
bers of the Junior Service Group
will staff 15 conveniently located
depots throughout the community
where contributors will be able
to bring their payments. Depots;
to be open from 9:30 a.m. to 3
p.m., are located as follows:
