The United Jewish Appeal
will make a dramatic attempt
to reach simultaneously between
5,000 and 6,000 key campaign
leaders and contributors with its
1957 story when it undertakes
a national conference through a
closed circuit television network
linking local meetings to be held
in 28 U.S. communities at the
same time on Tuesday evening,
Jan. 15.
The National TV Conference
will initiate a concentrated ef-
fort to plan the conduct of the
UJA through local Jewish com-
munity campaigns to raise a
$100,000,000 Emergency Rescue
Fund over and above regular
1957 needs—to transport and re-
settle at least 100,000 Jewish
men, women and children in
danger in Egypt, Hungary and
"closed-door" countries of Eu-
rope, North Africa and the
Middle East.
The proceedings of the head-
quarters meeting in New York
City will include a filmed
message by Israel Prime Minis-
ter David Ben-Gurion, and a
report on the Egyptian and
Hungarian Jewish refugee prob-
lems by Rabbi Herbert A. Fried-
man, who will have returned
