John E. Lurie, chairman of the drive, calls
he April 19 affair "one of the most important
and symbolic events= of the year." "The labor and
devotion of our 4,000 vOlunteers and the spirit
f giving as shown by our almost 30,000 contrib-
utors, will this night be demonstrated concretely,"
he added. He said that the acceptance of the in-
itation by Mr. Eban is "a very great honor for
workers, leaders and contributors in Detroit."

-;in the councils of the U.N. When the State of
Israel. was established in May 1948, he became
head of the Israel mission to the United Nations.

States in June 1950.

`Let All -Who Are
Hungry Come and
Share Our Food'
The basic ideal that distinguishes Pass-
over from all other festivals is incor-
porated in the message of the Haggadah:
"Let all who are hungry come and eat."
It is a challenge to Jews everywhere to
fulfill the aspiration for freedom for
homeless Jews in Israel through the
United Jewish Appeal. The Allied Jew-
ish Campaign awaits Detroit Jewry's
generous response to the UJA and to 60
local, national and other overseas causes,
in the weeks to come.
