Zionists Form Special Body
To Enforce Primacy of UJA
NEW YORK, (JTA) — More
than 3,000 delegates represent-
ing all Zionist groups in New
York on Sunday adopted a res-
olution urging the immediate
formation of a special United
Jewish Appeal city-wide council
which will seek to achieve over-
all co-ordination of timing and
activities to assure the success
of the UJA campaign. The res-
olution emphasized that prim-
acy will be given to the UJA
functions and needs during the
duration of the campaign.
The resolution was adopted at
a "Zionist mobilization confer-
ence" addressed by Edward M.
M. Warburg, UJA general chair-
man, who emphasized that a
minimum sum of $25,000,000
must be provided to UJA agen-
cies to bring 100,000 Jews to
Israel from "danger and dead-
line areas" in Eastern Europe
and Moslem countries within
the next four months. Ambas-
sador Abba Eban of Israel, ad-
dressing the rally, said that the
major effort continues to come
from the Israel community it-
self, but to supplement its own
efforts the government of Israel
is now seeking aid from Ameri-
can Jewry as well as from the
U. S. Government.
Rudolf G. Sonneborn, nation-
al chairman of the United Pal-
estine Appeal, told the audience
that the United Jewish Appeal
is not a philanthropy, but a
democratic movement of volun-
tary self-taxation created by
the desperate needs of hundreds
of thousands of Jews through-
out the world.
, The conference also was ad-
dressed by Dr. Nahum Gold-
mann, Louis Lipsky, Baruch
Zuckerman and other Zionist
leaders.
A special Hagadah printed in
Israel and symbolizing the ex-
odus of the Jews from bondage
in Egypt 3,500 years ago, was
presented to Mr. Warburg in be-
half of the people of Israel and
the Zionists of the United
States by Ambassador Eban. The
citation hailed Mr. Warburg for
his UJA leadership.
