One hundred thirty Detroit Jdwish communal leaders
witnessed, last Sunday, the unanimous vote of the board of
the Jewish Welfare Federation and the United Jewish Chari-
ties, approving the securing of a bank loan for $1,250,000 to
help meet immediate pressing needs in Israel through the
United Jewish Appeal.

The vote was taken at a con-
ference at the Dexter-Davison
Center, to which organization
representatives were invited, to
agree on a formula for alloca-
tion of 1950 Allied Jewish Cam-
paign funds. Results of the con- ,
ference, the first of its kind to
be held in this community, are
to be referred to the Federation
board of governors for final ap-
proval.
Requests for substantial in-
creases in allocations to local
services were given specific sub-
stance by chairmen of the
Federation budget and planning
divisions—Maurice A. Enggass,
health and welfare; Henry Mey-
ers, • educational and cultural,
and Morris Garvett, community
relations.
Because of the decreased value
of the dollar, Detroit has done
little more than hold the line in
local health and welfare serv-
ices, Enggass pointed out, except
for aid to refugees, which has
paralleled overseas responsibili-
ties. He outlined some of the

local considerations to be in-
cluded for 1950: a full budget
for the Dexter-Davison branch
of the Jewish Center, and an
operating' budget for the Jewish
Hospital Association. which will
shortly have to employ a super-
intendent.
Meyers declared that the De-
troit Jewish community is act-
ually spending less per capita
for Jewish education than in
1940. He requested additions in
allocations to provide for better
salaries for teachers, more ade-
quate teacher training and ex-
tension of educational services
into the northwest area.
Garvett announced that the
community relations division
felt that "if we raised the same
amount of money in 1950 as in
1949, there would be no reason
to increase the cost of the local
community relations program."
except to provide for normal in-
creases in operating costs.
Harvey H. Goldman, president
of the Detroit Service Group- and
chairman of the Dexter-Davison

Center building committee, pre-
sented an outline of estimated
local capital needs, including
additional camp sites for boys
and girls, young adults and
mothers and children; land for
a northwest site for the Jewish
Community Center and for the
United Hebrew Schools, and a
treatment home for the Jewish
Social Service Bureau.
National needs were describ-
ed by the three Budget and
Planning Division chairmen
whose recommendations to the
Conference did not include re-
quests for increases and . Gar-
vett suggested that, if there is
pressure for additional funds in
other fields, Detroit might cut
its awards to national communi-
ty relatipns agencies.
Climaxing the presentations
was the statement in behalf of
the United Jewish Appeal, made
by Max Osnos, Michigan State
UJA chairman, who called for
maintenance of Detroit's per-
centage allocation to the United
Jewish Appeal—largest of any
comparable community in the
country.
Serving on the steering com-
mittee for the four-hour session
were William Friedman, chair-
man, Irving W. Blumberg, Aaron
Droock, Mrs. Joseph H. Ehrlich,
Maurice A. Enggass, Morris Gar-
vett, Harvey H. Goldman, Mrs.
John C. Hopp, Abe Kasle, Leon
B. Kay, Max Osnos and Ben L.
Silberstein. Abe Srere, chairman
of t h e Federation executive
committee, presided.

For Support of Brandeis University

-

A group of 60 men, after
hearing an address by Dr. A. L.
Sachar on the values of Bran-
deis University of which he is
president, at a • dinner meeting
at the Standard Club on Jan. 17,
subscribed the sum of $42,849.94
towards the support of the Jew-
ish-sponsored university at
Waltham, Mass., in 19511
The group pledged the sum of
$86,150 for a three-year period.
Included in the gifts is one for
$15,000 for one year from the
Richard Cohn Foundation.
Leonard N. Simons presided
at the dinner meeting as chair-
man of the Detroit Brandeis
Committee which includes Sid-
ney J. Allen, Maurice Aronsson,
Louis C. Blumberg, Tom Bor-
man, Abraham Cooper, Lewis
B. Daniels, Benny Friedman,
William Gershenson, Harvey H.
Goldman, Louis Hamburger, Ja-
son L. Honigman, Lawrence J.
Michelson, Irving M. Popkin,
David Saffir, Nate S. Shapero,
Ben Silberstein, Abe Srere, Mel-
ville 'S. Welt and Julian G. Woll-
ner.
Dr. Sachar, who in addition to
being president of Brandeis
University is national chairman
of the Hillel Foundation and at
one time .was head of the his-
tory department at the Univer-
sity of Illinois, pointed out in his
address that Brandeis Univer-
sity is conducting a three-year
drive from coast to coast to
raise funds far the school. He
states that he would not permit
any campaign which would in
any way jeopardize the UJA's
chances in the current cam-
paign. He declared, however,
that the Brandeis University's
needs should be considered

among educational needs in
Israel such as the Hebrew Uni-
versity; the Weizmann Institute
and the Technion.
Simons statetd that the
need for a Jewish-sponsored
university is apparent when the
facts are taken into considera-
tion that there are 200 Catholic-
sponsored, 600-Protestant-spon-
sored and five Quaker-sponsor-
ed universities in this country
and that, although the Jews
form 3 per cent of the country's
population, 11 per cent of the
students on American campuses
are Jewish. Yeshiva University
in 'New York which is connected
with the theological seminary
Yeshivath Isaac " Elchanan, is
the only other Jewish university
in this country.
