Detroit's Jewish community is chalking up another triumph in humanitarian and
philanthropic activities with its successful 1953 Allied Jewish Campaign.
At the closing campaign meeting Monday, which followed a buffet supper at the
Woodward Jewish Center, Isidore Sobeloff, executive director of the Jewish Welfare Fed-
eration, under whose direction the campaigns are conducted here, stated that while
the total income reported earlier in the evening reached the sum of $4,024,000, there
was an additional $270,000 in transit. Furthermore, he pointed out, "a conservative
estimate of the value of pledges not yet received is estimated to amount to a positive
sum of $240,000 more, even after taking a reduction here and there." On this basis, the
campaign now can be considered as having reached a total of $4,509,000—a sizeable in-
crease over the $4,360,000 raised in 1952.
"Some of the items we speak of will not come in automatically," Mr. Sobeloff stated,
in an appeal for continued efforts by the volunteer workers. "Beyond this figure there
are several hundred thousands of dollars of slips which we are not counting out and
from which we can get good money for the UJA and for our local agencies. If every di-
vision chairman lives up to his promise to finish his job and to follow through on every
prospect, we'll be able to say we had a great campaign, conducted by a good community."
Mr. Sobeloff's references were to the reports that preceded his summary of the cam-
paign's results. Division chairmen who told of the amounts they raised and reviewed
the activities of their workers included John Lurie, pre-campaign chairman; James
Wineman, who reported for the mercantile division; John Isaacs, services division; Mar-
tin Citrin, mechanical trades division; David Pollack, real estate; George D. Keil and
Morris Music, food division; Dr. Martin Naimark, professional division; Nathan Balaban,
arts and crafts division; Mrs. Samuel Green, metropolitan division; Norman Katz, Jun-
ior Division; Mrs. Lewis Daniels, Women's Division.
Samuel IL Rubiner, president of the Federation, who presided, declared that until
the job is done and all prospects are reach ed "this is not the close of our campaign."
He added that "Jewish causes know no reasons, they are not measured by dates on a
calendar."
"Our campaign," Mr. Rubiner said, "typifies our ever-widening responsibilities to
our community, in the field of overseas relief and education and for the high moral
conception of 'charity which we know as social justice. There can be no such thing for us
as retirement. Let us go forward and build unitedly for the community good."
Mr. Rubiner presented citations, in behalf of the Federation, to Irving W. Blum-
berg and Harvey Goldman, campaign co-chairmen, John Lurie, pre-campaign chair-
man, and Mrs. Lewis Daniels, chairman of the Women's Division campaign.
Paying tribute to the pioneers who helped build this community, Mr. Rubiner ex-
pressed the hope that their message may "sound the clarion call to greater service." At
the same time he expressed pride that "we are generating, leadership from the ranks
of our own workers."

UJA Film Premiere:
Ilero's Shevuot Gift:
Korean war hero
MURRAY FENSTER (left) of Brooklyn, N. Y., celebrates the
seventh anniversary of his arrival in this country aboard the
first DP ship, and Shevuot, both of which fell on May 20,
by presenting to BEN TOUSTER, president of H1AS, the He-
brew Immigrant Aid Society, an embroidered mantle for the
Torah in the synagogue of the HIAS Shelter, 425 Lafayette
St., New York. Fenster, who was brought to the U. S. by
HIAS, considered the gift appropriate for Shevuot. An orphan
who survived German concentration camps, Fenster enlisted
in the army soon after his arrival in the U. S. and won eight
citations, including the bronze star for bravery in action in
the Korean fighting.
Hollywood stars Arthur Franz, Jane Wyman,
Charlton Heston and Randolph Scott in the opening scene of "Three Lives," the United
Jewish Appeal's stirring television presentation which will have its premiere Monday,
9 p.m. (EDST) over many stations of the American Broadcasting System TV network. Ali
the performers in "Three Lives," both stars and feature players, participated on a volun-
tary basis, to help produce one of the most impressive motion pictures ever filmed for a phil-
anthropic cause. Other top volunteers in the production of the film include Edna and Ed-
ward Anhalt, Academy Award winners for "Panic in the Streets," who prepared the script,
and Edward Dmytryk, director, who directed "The Juggler" and other popular motion pic-
tures. Among the featured players in "Three Lives" are such well-known Hollywood per-
formers as Leon Askin, Phil Chambers, Joe Costerella, Eduard Franz, Stacey Harris, Charles
Meredith, Elizabeth Patterson, Adeline DeWalt Reynolds, Ruth Swanson, Stuart Torres and
Lurene Tuttle. The Hollywood-produced film, which graphically portrays the actual experi-
ences of three persons who found havens and hope through the UJA, will be shown by
other TV stations and at meetings of community organizations in the near future in con-
nection with the UJA's current emergency cash campaign for $25,000,000. Climax of this
"drive within a drive," which is part of the UJA's 1953 effort, will come at a conference
in Washington, June 6 and 7, at which MSA Director Harold Stassen will be one of the
-, krincipal speakers, Joseph Holtzman of Detroit is chairman of the UJA cash campaign.
