Following a week of campaign-
ing since the official opening of
the Detroit Israel Histadrut Cam-
paign, local leaders this week
announced that pledges in excess
of $60,000 have been received.
Although the $250,000 quota,
adopted at the city conference,
was scrapped because of the crit-
ical condition existing in the Near
East, Histadrut campaigners con-
tinue to use the figure as a yard-
stick in measuring the - progress
of the drive.•
Detroit delegates who are at-
tending the national Histadrut
convention in New York this
weekend took with them the
first installment which will aid
in achieving the $500,000 emer-
gency goal requested several
weeks ago by Kupat Holim for
the immediate purchase of
medical material a n d equip-
ment.
Volunteer workers here have
been seeking Cash payments of
pledges in order to meet this ur-
gent demand, Histadrut officials
said.
Campaign progress has indi-
cated that contributions received
have represented "a substantial
increase" over the previous year,
while there- has been a corre-;
spending increase in the number
of first-time givers.
Active workers during the past
week which aided in obtaining
the first installment of campaign
funds included the following:
