Juniors' Report Day Sunday

Women Adopt 'Do-It-Yourself' Slogan

24 Campaign Sections Active in Women's
Division; Annual G-Day Set for April 15

"Do It Yourself" is the by-
word for 2,000 workers who
will be attending briefing meet-
ings on April 9, 10, and 11 for
the general solicitation phase
of the Women's 1956 Allied
Jewish Campaign. Some 80
meetings are scheduled to take
place during the afternoon in
homes all over the Metropolitan
'Detroit area.
Mrs. Harold Robinson,
chairman of general solicita-
tion, noted that the "Do It
Yourself" idea applies di-
rectly to each worker who
will be asked to make her
own best contribution to the
campaign before she asks
others to give.
Giving even greater emphasis
to the theme, "Do It Yourself,"
Mrs. Robinson noted that in
order for Detroit to achieve the
$5,380,000 required to meet the
1956 Campaign goal, the full
cooperation of every worker and
contributor will be needed-
it's a job that can't be done by
one person or .even by a few.
Following the lead of other
campaign sections, the gen-
eral solicitation activities are
.running three weeks ahead of
schedule. G-Day is set for
Sunday, April 15, at Temple
Israel where workers will re-

port on the assignments they
cover following their briefing
meeting.
Each of the 24 divisions are
arranging the tune, place, and
date of their meetings with their
vice-chairmen and in most
instances will have a meeting
on each of the three days so
that all workers will be able
to attend one meeting. Divisions

Allied Campaign's Triumphant Start

Reuven Dafni, Israeli Consul
in New York, who originally
was scheduled to speak at the
rally opening the Allied Jewish
Campaign, was urgently called
to Israel just before Passover
and his appearance here there-
fore had to be cancelled.

John E. Lurie, co-chairman
of the. campaign with Mr.
Fisher, unable to attend the
meeting, sent a message of
_greeting to- the gathering.
The musical program at the
meeting was provided by Sho-
shana Shoshan, Israeli singer.
Her accompanist was Lillian
Zellman.
In his address to the large
gathering, Dr. Lerner warned
that the noose being tied around
Israel also is aimed at American
power and prestige and Ameri-
can security.
Protesting against those 'who
are trying to curtail discussion
of the issue on the ground that
foreign policy is involved, Dr.
Lerner asserted his right as an
American to speak up' •because
the welfare of this country is
involved.
"I also speak as a Jew," he
declared, and stated that while
Jewish history is being written
in tears it need no'longer be so.
He pointed out that Israel is
not asking for handouts in its
request for arms, that the Is-
raelis want to pay for it and

want to fight for themselves,
asking only justice.
He demanded a clear state-
ment from American policy-
makers on "the fact of Israel's
existence" and added that if
Israel can not balance, the arms
in the Middle East there will
be War.
He expressed the view that
Egypt's Premier Nasser does not
want to commit suicide, that he
will* avoid being overthrown
and that if Israel gets arms for
defense he "will not try an ad-
venture in war and thereby
invite his own disaster."
Referring to Secretary of
State Dulles' statement that
Congress will be consulted on
military action in the Middle
East, Dr. Lerner said "it is a
dishonest way of putting it,
since the problem is not that
of intervention but of preven-
tion." "We want arms to pre-
vent a war from breaking out,"
he declared.
Dr. Lerner charged that the
oil interests, combined with the
Arab overlords and Arab propa-
gandists, have formed an unholy
alliance in the Middle East, and
insisted that if the United
States took a firm stand in the
issue-as Konrad Adenauer had
taken with the Arab threat of
a boycott in the matter of Ger-
man compensations to Jewry-
that the attempts at blackmail
would end overnight.
He condemned the attempts
to inject charges of dual al-
legiance into the current dis-
cussions and said that the de-
fenders of Israel speak as Am-
ericans and as human beings.
Rabbi Adler said that the ob-

jectives in the Allied Jewish
Campaign represent a philoso-
phy and pursue established
Jewish traditions. Basic in the
work is the idea "that we are
our brothers' keepers," he de-
clared*
Through the campaign, Rabbi
Adler said, the 5,000,000 free
Jewish citizens of America ex-
press their concern about the
State of Israel and ask for a
firm and human policy from
our Government. The 5,000,000
American Jews say "to every
settlement and kibutz in Israel:
you are not alone, we stand
with you, we reaffirm our part-
nership with you, we shall not
detach ourselves from you. We
are affirming our decision to
survive." -
Judge Levin opened the pub-
lic meeting with warm greetings
to the gathering. Mr. Fisher
presided.
In a welcoming message,
Rabbi Leon Fram, who recited
pr4Ters at the dinner and pub-
lic meetings, said that the
gathering sends a "message of
good cheer to Israel in its
struggle for the right to live."

Donald Greene, make their own pledges at the Junior Division
workers' brunch before going out to solicit others.

The 140 workers attending
the Junior Division assignment
brunch, March 25, heard Samuel
H. Rubiner outline needs at
home and abroad, pledged $7,500
to the Allied Jewish Campaign,
and then went out to solicit
others.
In an afternoon of intensive
effort many of the Junior Divi-
sion workers covered all their
.assigned slips.
Division general solicitation
chairman, Philip Krawitz, re-
ports that the $7,500 represents
a 100 per cent increase over
slips collected at last year's
assignment brunch.
Junior Division area chair-

men are: Robert Kasle, Estelle
Levine, Walter J. Rubiner, Ivan
Scholnick, Franklin Sidlow and
Sidney Simon.

Brown, Daniel Hoffer, Sue
Hyams, Carolyn Kerner, Shel-
don B. Krause, Corrine Lunen-
feld, Robert Rosenberg, Saul
Saulson, Joan Spevakow, Fred
Winkelman, and Stuart Win-
kelman.
Both Krawitz and his area
chairmen stressed the need for
prompt and efficient coverage
of slips and for returning them
to captains promptly. Sunday,
April 8 is a Junior Division
"Report Day."

Professional Division Groups Make
Rapid Progress in Allied Campaign

Campaigning keeps moving
along in the professional divi-
sion under the joint Allied Jew-
ish Campaign leadership of Paul
M. Handleman and Abraham
Satovsky.
At the dentists' and dental
technicians' dinner on March 22,
pledges reached the $20,000
mark for the section, showing
a 33 per cent increase in giv-
ing. The section is well on its
way to complete coverage of
its 325 prospects.
Two simultaneous meetings
involving physicians were held
on March 20, one at Brent Gen-
eral Hospital where Dr. Paul
L. Frinberg, veteran campaign-
er and counselor of the physi-
cians section presided, and the
other at Sinai Hospital. Leonard
N. Simons and Isidore Sobeloff
addressed the Brent doctors
who responded generously with
contributions 37 per cent above
last year's giving.
Samuel H. Rubiner addressed
the Sinai staff meeting and Dr.
Abraham Rogoff, chairman of

the physicians' section, with co-
chairman Dr. Perry Goldman,
assured him that the physicians'
giving would show their full
recognition of the emergency
needs of the campaign.
The accountants will waste
no time- in getting organized
once the income tax deadline
has passed. An assignment-so-
cial meeting will take place
Thursday, April 19, 8:15 p.m.,
