Vital UJA Message Heard
on 25-Community Hookup
By SALLY KORNWISE
Closed -circuit television
served as the extraordinary
medium for national UJA lead-
ers meeting last Tuesday night.
The even t, a 25-community
hook-up originating in New
York, was the first of its kind
in Jewish philanthropic history.
A filmed address by Israel
Premier David Ben-Gurion and
confidential speech by Ambas-
sador Abba Eban were main
features on the program. Rabbi
Herbert A. Friedman, executive
vice-chairman of UJA, who a
few hours earlier returned from
Europe to participate in the
broadcast, conveyed the key
message of the evening.
"The greatest refugee crisis
in a decade is now in the
making," he declared. "More
than 100,000 Jews in flight
from Nasserism in E g y p t,
Communism in Hungary and
dangers in North Africa and

American Savings
to Pay 3% Interest
Adolph Deutsch, president of
American Savings and Loan As-
sociation, in announcing distri-
bution of its 19th consecutive
semi-annual dividend to thou-
sands of account holders, stated
that effective on Jan. 1 a rate
of three percent would be paid
on all savings.
As a double bonus, he added,
all savings received during Jan-
uary will earn
the new higher
-ate from the

The bank's
statement of condition as of
Dec. 31, 1956, shows an $11,-
000,0•00 gain in assets during
1956. An all-time high of $52,-
158,717.96 was recorded in as-
sets, while savings accounts
rocketed to over $46,000,000. The
Association has invested more
than $44,000,000 in first mort-
gage loans, including FHA and
VA government-insured mort-
gages.
Each of the association's six
branches, including the two
newest at Van Dyke and E. 7
Mile and in Oak Park, displayed
rapid growth. A new downtown
branch will be opened in April,
Deutsch said. It will be located
in the new civic center on
Woodward and Congress.
Other American Savings' of-
ficers are Samuel Hechtman,
vice president and chairman of
the board; Jack Sylvan, vice-
president; Alfred L. Deutsch,
treasurer; Nathan I. Goldin, sec-
retary; Fred J. Ruelle, assistant
vice-president; George M. Zelt-
zer, assistant vice - president;
Alex Prujansky, assistant treas-
urer; and Mrs. F. W. Maurer
and Edward D. Ellis, assistant
secretaries.

other lands will be our con-
cern this year."
Rabbi Friedman, who saw
thousands of refugees in Naples,
Vienna, and Marseilles, said he
found "things so shocking" that
it was not yet possible for him
to adjust to New York life.
"These exotic-sounding places
contain Jews who are miserable
and afraid," he stressed.
"Short of gas chambers and
extermination camps, Nasser's
intimidations and treatment of
Jews is the same as Hitler's.
Nasser's self-made comparison
is evident . . . fifty thousand
Egyptian Jews, victims of a pro-
gram in full flower, will become
our charges," he emphasized.
An Egyptian refugee who
fled to Paris and was brought
by UJA for the broadcast,
told the story of his expulsion.
Remaining incognito to pro-
tect relatives still in Cairo, he
conveyed the "fear and panic"
currently felt by Jews in
Egypt. "The comparison of
Hitler and Nasser is not exag-
gerated," he affirmed. H e
begged the audience "to re-
member those still waiting
in Egypt."
Premier Ben-Gurion revealed
that during the recent Sinai
battle, the gates of Israel were
open to new immigrants. Planes
and ships were continually
transporting them, h e said.
"Heavily-taxed Israelis alone
cannot assume - the financial
burden," he stated. He "would
not tell the American people
what to do," but affirmed that
Israelis are "ready to pay with
their lives."
- Ambassador Eban declared
the difference between today's
refugee crisis and that of 10
years ago to be the existence of
Israel as a haven.
UJA pledges of community
leaders throughout the coun-
try were made known at the
meeting. Detroiter Abe Kasle
add $68,500 for the Emer-
gen0 Rescue Fund to his reg-
ular $31,500 donation, it was
announced on the broadcast.
Morris W. Berinstein, national
president of UJA, William
Rosenwald, general chairman of
UJA and Sen. Herbert Lehman
were among other luminaries
on the program.
Edward M. M. Warburg, who
presided over the meeting,
urged UJA leaders to begin im-
mediate fund-raising campaigns
and send as many pledges as
-possible to, the Feb. 2 National
Big Gifts Meeting. The organ-
ization has set a $100,000,000
Emergency Fund goal to sustain
the year's 100,000 refugees.

IN 1928, the Jolly Elite Club
was formed . . . later clinging
to a vow which this week will
mark the 25th anniversary of
its observance . . . That vow was
made back in 1932 when one
of the members, Phillip Fish-
man, only 24 years old, passed
away just three years after los-
ing his 19-year-old brother .
The group of fellows belonging
to the club, about 15 . of them,
promised never to fail to ob-
serve a Yahrzeit . . . visiting
the cemetery each year where
the two brothers are buried
next to each other . . . During
the war years, it was sometimes
necessary to ask strangers to
join in and help make up a
minyan for services at the place
of burial . . . but former mem-
bers have never once failed to
get together as a group for the
observance of the vow they
made 25 years ago.
