Sharett to Open Allied Campaign April 24
Already humming with activity in behalf of %
the 1949 Allied Jewish Campaign, for a goal of
$6,395,000, numerous important events are plan-
ned to , spur Detroit Jewry's efforts for Israel
and the DP rehabilitation funds in this great
period ,in Jewish history.
Sunday, April 24, has been set as the opening
date for the campaign.
That night, Moshe Sharett (Shertok) , Israel's
Foreign Minister, will be the /guest speaker, at
a public meeting at Cass High School. Louis Berry,
chairman of the 1947 drive, will preside.
A leader of Israeli Jewry for the past genera-
tion, Shertok served as head of the political • de-
partment of the Jewish Agency at the UN.
Shertok was born in Russia in 1894 and came
to Palestine at the age of 11, where his first home
was an all-Arab village. He entered the services
of the Jewish Agency as political secretary under
Dr. Chaim Arlosoroff, head of its political depart-
ment. When Dr. Arlosoroff was assassinated in
1933, Shertok succeeded him.
During World War two, Shertok organized the
Jewish war effort in Palestine and because of his
initiative in forming the Jewish brigade, he has
been called the father of the brigade.
As a preliminary step in community planning
for the Allied Jewish Campaign, arrangements

Naimark described gie assignment of his division as
"supplementing the woTh of the regular trade and pro-

$200,000 through solicitation of whole groups where
adequate leadership has not been found in the past.
The new auxiliary . division will be composed of mem-
bers of the Jewish community who have been largely
active in the Junior Division in, the past and who have
not bedn entirely absorbed by the regular trades and
