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 I Our Letter Box Mizrachi's Thanks Editor, The Jewish News: We would like to express our appreciation for the manner in which you publicized our an- nual affair and the activities of our organization. We would also like to stress the fact that the CARE Cam- paign gained a lot because of your assistance. Until now, we have sent approximately $8,000 worth of packages through CARE. Zvi Tomkiewicz Executive Director Detroit Mizrachi Organization 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 ffirst Of the nonth. Deutsch aid that in he past year 'merican Say- ngs experi- ificed a greater ,rowth than in my year since is founding in 1947. Adolph Deutsch 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. Accountants' AJC Section to -Hold Tax • Seminar Sun.
