Report $53,762,000 Raised
In Cash at Chicago Parley

CHICAGO, (JTA)—In rpesonse
to the emergency situation re-
quiring increased funds to move
large numbers of Jews out of
Romania and Iraq and other
distress centers, Jewish commun-
ity leaders meeting here at the
National Report Conference of
the United Jewish Appeal pre-
sented a total of $11,900,000 in
cash to the campaign for settle- .
men in Israel and refugee aid
in all parts of the world.
This brought to a total of $53,-
762,000 the amount of cash that
was received by the United Jew-
ish Appeal since Jan. 1, 1950, it
was announced by Judge Morris
Rothenberg, national chairman
of the United Jewish Appeal.
Declaring that "for the first
time in the history of the UJA,
immigration of Jews to safety
and security has been drastically
curtailed because of lack of
funds," the principal resolution
adopted by the conference urged
that American Jews be informed
"that campaign results and cash
payments on pledges today are
tragically inadequate to meet
the increased needs that have
suddenly arisen in the last few
months." .
To cope with the requirements
of the new immigration from
Romania and Iraq, the confer-

ence adopted the :ollowing three
point program:

1. The continuation, regard-
less of any time schedule, of
all campaigns throughout the
summer months in behalf of
the UJA.
2. The resolicitation of con-
tributors whose gifts have not
measured up to standards of
responsibility set in each com-
munity, so that the millions
of additional dollars so des-
perately necessary may now
becoine available.
3. The establishment of new,
active cash collection commit-
tees to go forward at once to
press for the conversion into
cash of all pledges.

The conference further re-
solved to "issue a solmen warn-
ing that urgent deadlines exist
for the immigration into Israel
of Jews from Romania, Iraq, and
other countries." Campaigns now
approaching a climax in 3,400
communities throughout the
country have raised substantial-
