THE JEWISH NEWS-5 Ben-Gurion Calls UJA 11Iajor Factor in Israel's Future Prime Minister David Ben- Gurion of Israel, in a message hailing the opening of the United Jewish Appeal's nation- wide fall campaign, declared that the "assistance which American JeWry provides through UJA can be a major factor in helping to assiire Is- rael's future." Mr. Ben-Gurion stressed that "Israel requires greater sums than ever before" to implement a three year program "for ab-. sorbing another 600,000 _Jews from critical areas and for the establishment of Israel's econ- omy on a firm foundation." The Prime Minister pointed out that while the achievement of these aims has forced Israel Friday, September 7, 1951 Off the Record By NATHAN ZIPRIN "also to seek funds outside of the UJA, no one who has Israel's future at heart will support for a moment that UJA's import- ance to Israel is thereby dimin- ished." "The people and the Govern- ment of Israel," he emphasized, "retain fullest interest in and desire for the continued success of the United Jewish Appeal." The UJA's f a 11 campaign, which op e n e d in 1,2130 com- munities throughout the coun- try after Labor Day, will seek to raise large-scale funds for the speedy carrying-out of an urg- ent program involving 620.000 Jews in Israel, Europe, certain Near Eastern countries and North Africa.

Zionist Congress. Council Women To Invade City Hall . . A notorious underworld char- acter was hailed on theft charg- es before a Tel Aviv court on the day the World Zionist Con- gress opened in Jerusalem. The defendant interposed a plea of guilty. Before the judge passed sentence he extended to the criminal the privilege of making a statement. To the surprise of the judge and spectators the man proceeded to deliver an im- passioned patriotic address. In glowing language he painted the - miracle that is Israel, the ful- fillment of prophecy and the Zionist ideal. Turning to the judge, he asked: "Wasn't it the purpose of Zionism to give the Jewish people a national status of equality with other peoples?" When he saw that the judge nodded assent, he triumphantly declared: "Now that we are like the rest of the nations it is.only right and natural for us to have an underworld as well as a po- lice force. The arresting officer belongs to the police force, I am a member of the underworld." His argument must have im- pressed the judge for he gave the admitted thief a suspended sentence despite earlier intima- tions of a severe penalty. Ai Congress Asks New Artukovic Investigation An official request for per- mission to present witnesses and documentary evidence, not oth- erwise available, corroborating the war-crime guilt of Andrija Artukovic—World War II Croat Cabinet Minister now under fed- eral arrest, was made by the American . and World Jewish Congress in a telegram to the U.S. Commissioner in Los An- geles. Dr. Alfred J. Marrow, acting American Jewish Congress pres- ident, declared it was "impera- tive that our country should not help Artukovic find congenial asylum and thus assist him to evade accountability for his crimes against_ humanity." Israel Foreign Minister Moshe Sharett To Address Bond Dinner Here Sept. 19 Moshe Sharett, Foreign Min- ister of Israel, will speak in De- troit, Wednesday, Sept. 19, at an Israel bond dinner at the Book Cadillac Hotel. He will fly in from Washington on the eve of the National Economic Con- ference for Israel, which he will attend as the representative of his government. "Mr. Sharett has consented to visit Detroit to report in person to this important Jewish com- munity on Israel's economic de- velopment program," declared Max Osnos, chairman of the De- troit Israel bond Committee. "He will analyse the meaning of Israel's new investment drive to the future of the Jewish state and the lives of its citizens." Sharett, Foreign Minister of Israel since the new state was proclaimed in 1948, has repre- sented his government in nego- tiations with the United Na- tions. Israel Honors Adm.
