UR Answer to Rumors of Dissolution
Is Intensification of Projected Program
NEW YORK, (JTA)--In the
face of persistent rumors and
reports of the littuidation of the
United Israel Appeal, the UIA's
board of directors, meeting here,
unanimously asserted that the
UIA was "to continue" and, in
fact, "must be strengthened."
William H. Sylk, chairman of
the board, reported that the
positive assertion of continua-
tion was made by the board,
called together specifically for
the purpose of examining and
answering the rumors of UIA
dissolution.
The UIA's board is made up
of 120 members of which 60 per-
cent represent all the Zionist
parties in the country while the
balance are delegated annually
by community welfare funds.
Louis Segal, a member of the
Jewish Agency executive here,
and general secretary of the
Farband Labor-Zionist Order,
following protracted• discussion
of the issue, presented the res-
olution on the continuation of
the UIA, which was unanimously
adopted. It also urged • that
methods of "strengthening" the
UIA be developed by a sub-com-
mittee of the UIA conferring
with a sub-committee of the
Jewish Agency.
Discussions at the board meet-
ing which were held in executive
session outlined two major areas
where the UIA should intensify
and broaden its program. These
were: mobilization of effortS and
resources of all Zionists in the
UJA campaign; and increased
activity in the area of pre-cam- •
paign budgeting. The latter
would involve programs in corn-
munities• throughout the country
for assuring equitable distribu-
tion of funds so that the United
Jewish Appeal could receive its
proper and just proportion of
income.
The UIA was organized in 1936
as a representative of the two
Zionist national funds—the Ke-
ren Hayesod and the Jewish Na-
tional Fund. It began as a di-
rect fundraising body for these
funds charged with the respon-
sibility of immigration, rehabili-
tation, resettlement, land acqui-
sition and land amelioration.
In 1939, the then-United Pal-
estine Appeal joined with the
Joint Distribution Committee to
form the United Jewish Appeal
as ,a fund-raising instrumental-
ity for Jewish overseas needs.
