Jewry Honors Senator Herbert H. Lehman All-Time High Set in Advance Pre-CampaignEfforts for UFA Special to The Jewish News - NEW YORK—Detroit played a leading role here, last Satur- day night, in setting an all-time high in national pre-campaign activities for the United Jewish Appeal. The occasion was the impres- sive dinner meeting, at the Waldorf Astoria, at which Sen- ator Herbert H. Lehman was honored for 50 years' leader- ship in humanitarian causes by the establishment of a settle- ment in Israel, to be known as "Lehman." The $16,870,000 raised at that meeting included the sum of $2,820,000 for the regular UJA drive and $1,700,000 for the Special UJA Fund, 'from New York. Detroit was second, with $1,097,350 for the UJA campaign and $515,050 for the Special Fund. (Detroiters at the dinner in- cluded Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Holtzman, Mr. and Mrs. Hyman Safran, Mr. and Mrs. George M. Stutz, David Goldberg, Mr. and Mrs. Sam Freedman, Louis Berry, Mr. and Mrs. Philip Slo- movitz, Mr. and Mrs. William Avrunin). Chicago was third with $1,- 026,000 and $254,000 to t h e respective funds. The push towards the un- precedented fund-raising tri- umph started with the $50,- 000 gift made by Mr. Holtz- man at,the UJA conference in December. (Story of "Holtz- man Club" on Page 1. Also see Commentary, Page 2). William Rosenwald, UJA gen- eral chairman, reported at the dinner that while the nation- wide drive is not scheduled to open formally until the end of February,' contributors in all parts of the country have been coming forward voluntarily "in a mood of anxiety" to assure the emigration of Jews from North Africa and the continuity of immigrant resettlement . in Is- rael. Samuel Bronfman, president of the Canadian Jewish Con- gress, presided at the dinner. The $11,037,000 given toward the UJA's regular campaign and the $5,833,000 contributed to its concurrent Special Fund drive came from the same con- IF YOU TURN THE UP SIDE DOWN YOU WON'T FIND A FINER WINE THAN tributors. Gifts to the Special Fund were made "over and above" contributions to the reg- ular campaign, with the over- all result showing more than a 50 per cent increase over pre- champaign giving at this time a year ago. The new refugee settle- ment, to be known simply as "Lehman", will be located in the Ashkelon district on the Mediterranean coast and will be populated by immigrant families now arriving it large numbers from North Africa. A scroll to this effect lettered in English and classical Hebrew was presented to Mr. Lehman by Edward M. M. Warburg, president of the United Jewish Appeal. The scroll testifies to the fact "that dienceforth and for all time to come in the State of Israel, a Jewish settlement on the Mediterranean Coast in the district of Ashkelon will bear the name Lehman„ and by the name it bears this settlement will enshrine in perpetuity the appreciation of the Jewish peo- ple for his life-long leadership and magnificent service in the ,cause of universal freedom, the welfare of Jews the world over, and for his vigorous and weighty support for the inde- pendence of the State of Israel, its development and its prog- ress." Israel's President Itzhak Ben- Zvi, in a cable from Jerusalem, told Senator Lehman that the naming of the new settlement in his honor "is abundantly merit- ed," adding that "it expresses the admiration and appreciation of the Jewish people." Senator Lehman, responding to the tributes, said that he did "not consider them to be direct- ed to me personally," but to the causes of "freedom, humani- tarianism and democracy," for which he has stood. "Israel," he declared, also "symbolizes these causes" and for that reason has been under attack by "international com- munism" and by leaders of the Arab States. "For the Soviet Union," Sen- - ator Lehman stated, "Israel rep- resents an intoleAble enclave of freedom and stability in the midst of a seething world, ripe for a Communist-type revolu- tion'." "For the Arab leaders," he added, "Israel represents a con- venient, diversion for the surg- ing forces of ferment and up- heaval within their countries." Senator Lehman scored the Middle East policies being followed by the free nations and by "our own Govern- ment" as "short-sighted," and as "reflecting little resolution or determination, and no com- prehension whatever of the basic forces involved." He described as "folly" the United States policy of "im- partiality" as between the Arab States and Israel, and the policy of seeking "to draw one and then the other of the Arab States into our complex pat- tern of world politics ; as in the Baghdad Pact and the Northern Tier." Senator Lehman warned that the. United States must not let the Arab States "fall prey to Communist-type revolutions or to Communist intrigue" and stressed that' "we must concen- trate with all our might on helping them to resolve their basic problems." Senator Lehman listed the following three-point plan which he offered as America's "answer to Soviet intrusion" in the Middle East: 1) A security pact with Is- rael, but open to all her neighbors. 2) Arms for Israel, as long as arms are needed to main- tain the present precarious balance of forces. 3) Large-scale a n d long- range economic aid to the Arab States and to Israel. In the meantime, he called for strong support of both the Unit- ed Jewish Appeal and State of Israel Bonds in behalf of "em- battled and endangered" Israel, and Jews in other parts of the world. Israel Ambassador Abba E. Eban told the UJA leaders that Arab truculence against Israel, bolStered by 'the uncritical sup- port of the Soviet Union" and aggravated by both Soviet and Brit i s h arms shipments to Egypt, have placed Israel in imminent danger of attack and aggression which may come "by the summer of this year." Added to this danger, Am- bassador Eban emphasized, is the fact that there are no "ef- fective guarantees capable of deterring an aggressor or re- assuring his prospective vic- tim." The Israel envoy called, first, as a matter of "paramount ur- gency," for a strengthening of Israel's defenses, "especially in the air," terming this a "basic military deterrent" which could "preclude a conflict in the sum- mer of this year." Secondly, he urged the west- ern world "to dispel the danger of conflict and to relieve mutual fears by proclaiming in solemn, FOR THE BEST DEAL YET . . - ON THE BEST BUICK YET-. . See CHARLES WEINSTOCK at BUICK'S RETAIL STORE public, compelling contractual terms its determination to help resist any change of the exist- ing frontier by force." Lastly, he called for a "sin- cere advocacy and pursuit of a peace settlement" but stressed that "such a settlement will surely not be obtained by in- viting little Israel to become still smaller in order that the vast Arab Empire should fur- ther expand."
