UNITED STATES
NEW YORK—The UJA of Greater N. Y. passed the $18,000,000
mark in its 1955 campaign and immediately launched a mass tele-
phone solicitation drive to raise the total.
DENVER—Former President Truman declared in an interview
here that UJA "done wonderful w o r k" and is "entitled to
the wholehearted support" of persons of all faiths. In commenting
on Middle East problems he said that Eric Johnston, American
special emissary to the area, had given him "great encouragement
about the prospects of working out peace between Israel and the
Arab nations." . . . Bnai Brith's Anti-Defamation League charged
the illegal exclusion of Jews from residence in the city's Crestmoor
and Belcaro subdivisions and placed the main responsibility on
realtors.
LOS ANGELES—Open anti-Semitism marked a bitterly con-
tested school board election here, when some L. A. newspapers gave
space to a story charging that persons of "foreign ideologies" were
backing two of the candidates with large sums of money. This was
widely interpreted as an attack on Jewish communal leaders who
had joined teacher and labor groups in supporting these candi-
dates. At issue was the fact that present school board members
had banned all teaching materials on UNESCO (United Nations
Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization), as well as on
human relations. The board had also refused a teacher training
grant from the Ford Foundation on the ground that::the Founda-
tion was tied in with UNESCO and that the latter was Com-
munist dominated.
KIAMESHA LAKE—The impact of anti-Semitism and Zionism
on American Jewry "cannot suffice to stimulate and sustain Jewish
loyalty," Rabbi Robert Gordis told Bnai Brith Grand Lodge No. 1
here. What is needed, he sada-, is a form of liberal Jewish educa_-
tion that can succeed traditionalism and the recent emphasis on
Hebrew language and literature that came with the rebirth of
Jewish nationalism.
JERSEY CITY—A plan to make kosher food available to pa-
tients at the Jersey City Medical Center on a regular basis will
go into effect in the near future. The decision followed a confer-
ence between the mayor, hospital officials, and the Jersey' City
Council for Kashrut and Traditional Judaism.
MIAMI—Baron deHirsch Meyer has presented a gift of $211,000
to the University of Miami for its new- law school building. A mem-
ber of the university's trustees and an attorney, Meyer is active
in local Jewish communal affairs.
HANOVER, N. H.—The Charles D. Lebovitz Memorial Fund
has been established at the Amos Tuck School of Business Admin-
istration of Dartmouth College. An honor graduate of Dartmouth
and the Tuck School, Lebovitz died last January while serving as
an ensign in the Navy. The find was created by his classmates
and family.
The two Jews killed in this
city were both grocers standing
in front of their shops when a
gunman cut them down. The
Jew killed in Rabat was a tobac-
co shop owner and the fat'ier
of six children.

to set up an heirless property fund to administer assets of Nazi
victims who, left no heirs. The Austrian state treaty obligates
Austria to take such action. . . . Former Nazis in Austria, except
