Plea for Top Priority for UJA Asked Dr. Magnes' Remains
to Jerusalem
At Zionist Action Committee Meeting Flown
The remains of the late Dr.

▪

JERUSALEM. (JTA)—An ap-
peal for top priority for the
United Jewish Appeal in the
over-all fund-raising effort for
Israel in the United States was
voiced here by Rabbi Herbert
Friedman, executive vice presi-
dent of the UJA, addressing the
Zionist Actions Committee.
Recalling that Dr. Giora Jo-
sephtal, treasurer of the Jewish
Agency, had told an earlier
meeting of the Actions Commit-
tee that one-third more funds
would have to be raised in order
to cope with problems of im-
migration, the UJA leader warn-
ed 'that this could not be done
"if business goes on as usual in
the fund-raising world"—a ref-
erence to the fact that the United
Jewish Appeal does not have a
clear priority over other fund-
raising activities in the United
States.
Rabbi Friedman reported that
the UJA had raised far more
this year than in the previous
year. He also compared UJA re-
ceipts for 1954 with those of
1948 when Jewish fund-raising in
the U. S. reached its highest
peak. Despite the drastic drop
that contrast showed, he said
that American Jewry is as in-
terested in Israel now as it was
in 1948, and attributed the de-
cline in funds raised to the fact
that the American Jewish com-
munity had lost the sense of
priority of the United Jewish
Appeal drive.
The UJA executive head
went on to say that the Zion-
ist world was not as active in
fund-raising as it should be.
He also stressed his absolute
confidence in full cooperation
between the UJA and the Is-
rael Bond campaign, pointing
out that he always mentioned
bonds in his addresses for
UJA and that Dr. Joseph
Schwartz, who heads the bond
campaign, performed the same
service for UJA in his ad-
dresses on behalf of the bond
drive. Rabbi Friedman said
that fears expressed that bonds
would be turned over in ful-
fillment of UJA pledges were
now baseless.
Hope that the gradual relaxa-
tion of tensions in the world
would result in freer contacts
between Soviet Jewry and Jews
in other parts of the world was
expressed by Prime Minister
Moshe Sharett when he ad-
dressed the Zionist Actions Com-
mittee. He also said that he hoped
for the possibility of emigration
to Israel of Soviet Jews who
desired to come here.
Similar sentiments were ex-
pressed by Dr. Giora Josephthal,
treasurer of the Jewish Agency,
in the course of a budget report.
He said that last year's budget
had been fulfilled in the sense
that all projected revenues had
come in, but increased immigra-
tion had necessitated greater ex-
penditures. Turning to Jewish

Report New Troubles
In the Los Angeles
Kashruth Situation

1

LOS ANGELES, (JTA)—Diffi-
culties in the Kosher poultry
trade in Los Angeles which led to
Federal Grand Jury action last
year and the signing of consent
decrees by the kosher butchers
and wholesale poultry dealers,
have risen again and Federal in-
vestigators are back on the scene,
the newspaper Heritage reported
last week.
The paper said that the Bureau
of Kashruth Administration, an
agency sponsored by the Los An-
geles Jewish Community Council,
had removed its Kashruth signs
from 56 of the 86 butcher shops
that had accepted the Buerau's
supervision earlier this year.
The bureau's director was quoted
as saying that the signs had been
removed because the shops sold
poultry from five wholesale deal-
ers who refused to accept the
Bureau's supervision. The bureau
had insisted on employment by
these firms of full-time perma-
nent supervisors.
The 56 shops which were de-
prived of the Bureau's Kashruth
deal have announced they are
under supervision of a rabbinical
Organization.

countries, he said that only 84
persons had entered Israel from
those countries in 1954 and while
this was "still a small and dis-
illusioning number, it represents
an increase over past years."
Joseph Sprinzak, Speaker of
the Knesset, pointed out that the
Herzl Year was closing, but that
a Congress Year was opening.
He called for a realization of
"Herzlian Zionism." He denied
that Zionism had outlived its
usefulness. On the contrary, Mr.
Sprinzak said, it now had many
important tasks to face and the
Zionist Organization must stand
up and face them.

21 N. J. Colleges
And Universities
Charged With Bias

NEWARK, N. J. (JTA) — An
analysis of application forms
now in use by 21 public and
private church-affiliated colleges
and universities in New Jersey
made by chapters of the New
Jersey Region of the American
Jewish Congress revealed that
although public colleges and
universities in this State do not
require the applicant to supply
information concerning racial,
religious or ethnic backgrounds,
private church-affiliated schools
require the applicant to state
his religious affiliation and some
also ask the applicant to state
his "race" and "nationality" or
that of his parents.
The data collected has been
referred to Dr. Milligan, Direc-
tor of the Division Against Dis-
crimination of the New Jersey
D ep ar tm en t of Education.
Adrian M. Unger, chairman of
the New Jersey Commission on
Law and Social Action of the
American Jewish Congress, un-
der whose jurisdiction the sur-
vey was made, stated, "applica-
tion forms of the private church-
affiliated schools are more var-
ied and inconsistent than those
of the public institutions. For
example, the survey revealed
that none of the public colleges
in New Jersey requires a photo-
graph of the applicant, while
many private schools impose
such a requirement and request
religious or nationality informa-
tion."

Charge Travel Agency
With Discrimination

NEW YORK (JTA)—The first
complaint against a t r a v el
agency specializing in organized
European package tours since
passage of the New York State
Anti -.Discrimination L a w in
1945, was made by the Ameri-
can Jewish Committee.
Filed with the State Commis-
sion Against Discrinmation, the
AJC complaint charges Marsh
Tours of New York with insist-
ing on disclosure of a tour ap-
plicant's "race, creed, color, na-
tional origin, place of birth and
parents' names" as a condition
of the applicant's qualification
for tour membership.
The Marsh Tours literature
publicly advertises these condi-
tions, the AJC complaint as-
serts, to make it clear that "the
import, intent and meaning of
said communication, notice or
advertisement is that persons of
a particular race, creed, color
or national origin are unwel-
come, objectionable or not ac-
ceptable, desired or solicited."
The complaint says that the
New York state law violation is
based on the use by the Marsh
Tours of places of public accom-
modation, which includes steam-
ships, airplanes, hotels and re
sorts, for their package tours.
The AJC asked the State Com-
mission for an order requiring
Marsh Tours to "cease and de-
sist from the unlawful discrim-
inating practices set forth in the
complaint."
