Histadrut Drive Here Spurred
By Jerusalem Official's Visit

Nathan Rose, financial secretary of Detroit's $300,000
Histadrut campaign, reported that $50,000 had been re-
ported at the end of the first week and that all divisions
showed increases over last year.

Especially encouraging 'were
the increases of 35 campaign
leaders and workers who hon-
ored Reuven Schreibman, vice-
mayor of Jerusalem, at a lunch-
eon meeting.
Backing up their support of
the Histadrut with tangible re-
sults, their contributions
amounted to $19,500, an increase
of almost 20 percent over last
year.
Morris L. Schaver, campaign
honorary chairman, started the
ball rolling by increasing his
own contribution.

Spurred by Visitor

Spurred by the visit of Shreib-
man, more than 300 workers and
organizational delegates at the
first workers' rally mobilized
themselves for intensive solicita-
tions.
Shreibman assured those
present that Jerusalem would
continue as an integral part of
the Jewish State. Although he
did not foresee application of
sanctions by member nations
of the ITN against Israel, he
cautioned that more serious even
than United Nations sanctions
would be falling off of political,
moral and financial aid for
world Jews, which he called
"Jewish sanctions."
He told workers to be on guard
against those who were hurting
Israel and seriously interfering
with the task of absorbing the
newly arrived immigrants with
rumors about how Israel is be-
ing run.

Supply Incentive

He stated the Histadrut does
not ask or even want all private
capital that seeks to invest in
Israel to go into partnership
with -it. The responsibility of the
Histadrut is to supply the in-
centive and pioneering funds
and "know-how" to develop
those vital areas where private
capital cannot enter. He said:
"It is areas like Bersheeba,
Sated and similar spots where
the Histadrut will initiate more
than 125 industrial and agricul-
tural cooperatives in the next
year that will supply employ-
ment for 15,000 persons.
"Unfortunately, some Ameri-
can Jews forget that Israel after
a year and a half cannot be as
far advanced in technique and
method as America is after more
than 175 years and are disap-
pointed that they cannot make
an easy profit in Israel. At least
50 percent of Israel's economy is
waiting to be developed by pri-
vate incentive."

Praises Divisions

Norman Naimark, chairman of
the campaign's Labor Zionist
Division, praised the efforts of
the following branches for their
efforts: Branch 2, under Philip
D. Golstein; Branch 4, under
Jack Schreier, new Histadrut
chairman, a n d Alex Schreier,
branch chairman; Branch 6, un-
der Morris Kane and Irving
Pokempn-er; and Branch 10, un-
der Sidney Fields and Larry
Nichamin.
Morris Hayet, veteran member
of Branch 114, Farband, was
acclaimed. for obtaining increases
in every contribution solicited.
More than $26,000 already was
reported by Arlazaroff Branch
137, Farband, through the ef-
forts of Schaver, Norman Catt-
ier, J. M. Singer, Harry Schumer,
Alex Nichamin, William Klafer
and others.
Isadore Cohen, of the Shoe
Division, reported excellent re-
sults. B. Wrotzlawsky, of the
Chenstoclaover, S. W. Alper of
the Alper Family Club, and Ja-
cob Shulman, reported high
sums for the organizations.

California's racing fans failed
to collect over $200,000 in good
tickets during the past year.

ISRAEL JACOBSON

Mrs. Israel Jacobson, wife of
the director of the Joint Dis-
tribution Committee in Hun-
gary, wept in her Chicago home,
when she learned of the seizure
of her husband by the Com-
munist government of Hungary.
Jacobson was arrested Dec. 15.
Hungarian officials confirmed
the detention ,but declined to
list charges.
Informed sources said they
believed Jacobson might be ac-
cused of helping Hungarian
Jews to get to Israel and might
be brought to trial by. a Buda-
pest people's court. Hungary
declared all Zionist organiza-
tions illegal last May.
Harold Trobe. Vienna director
for the JDC, said Jacobson has
had nothing to do with the il-
legal fight of Jews from Hun-
gary. She added that the im-
prisoned man's only job was to
direct the administration of re-
lief services for Hungary's 130,-
000 surviving Jews.
Nathaniel P. Davis, American
Minster to Hungary, reported
that American officials have
been refused permission to see
Jacobson.
In Washington, the State de-
department confirmed that it is
interceding in behalf of Jacob-
son.
The Hungarian Government
has refused. to disclose to United
States authorities why they are
holding the JDC official. Jacob-
son, 37, had just returned from
a six-weeks' vacation in the U.S.
and had driven from Paris to
Vienna where he waited a week
for a Hungarian visa. When it
finally was granted, he drove to
the Hungarian border and has
not been heard from directly
since.
