Friday, April 18, 1958—THE DETROIT JEWSIH NEW S-32
Dr. Schwartz to Address Closing
Allied Campaign Dinner April 30
Dr. Joseph J. Schwartz, for-
mer executive vice-chairman of
the United Jewish Appeal, and
since 1956 executive vice-presi-
dent of Development Corpora-
tion for Israel directing the sale
of Israel Bonds, internationally
known as the key figure in
shaping the historic mass mi-
gration of more than a half
million Jewish men, women and
children from distressed areas
of Europe and Arab lands to
Israel, the United States and
other free lands, will speak at
the closing dinner of the 1958
Allied Jewish Campaign, 7 p.m.,
Wednesday, April 30, at the
Statler Hotel.
After 12 years as head of
European relief and rehabilita-
tion programs for the American
Jewish Joint Distribution Com-
mittee, Dr. Schwartz took leave
in December 1950 from his du-
ties as director general of that
organization to assume execu-
live responsibility for the cam-
paign of the United Jewish Ap-
peal.
An international authority on
refugee problems, Dr. Schwartz,
as director general of the JDC,
supervised urgent relief and
welfare programs in more than
30 countries involving more
than 1,000,000 people. In the
course of 12 years overseas, he
personally conferred with the
heads of virtually every coun-
try in Europe, and with leading
statesmen of the Middle East
and North Africa.
Dr. Schwartz's intimate
knowledge and handling of the
complex problems involved in
the mass movement of people
have been gained over years of
the most serious emergencies
in world affairs. With the ap-
proval of the United States War
Refugee Board at the height of
World War II, he negotiated
successfully through neutral

Women's G-Day Campaign Sunday;
All-Out Effort Urged by Max Fisher
Drive Chairman Asks New
Record in Giving, Soliciting
Sunday will mark the 12th
annual G-Day sponsored by the
Women's Division of the Allied
Jewish Campaign. This year,
G-Day—a great day for giving
will be held at Temple Israel,
17400 Manderson, from 11 a.m.
to 3 p.m.
Mrs. I. Jerome Hauser, chair-
man of general solicitation, an-
nounces that 12,000 women will
have been asked for their 1958
contribution to the Allied Jew-
ish Campaign by April 20. A
corps of 1,600 workers is busily
engaged soliciting their pros-
pects throughout the week and
will bring their reports to Tem-
ple Israel on G-Day.
Mrs. .Herbert S. Frank, ad-
visor to general solicitation, and
Mrs. Samuel C. Silver, member
of the general solicitation cabi-
net, head a group of clerical
volunteers who will assist with
the posting and auditing at the
Temple.
Refreshments will be served
by Mrs. Harry Spoon and her
food committee. A cup of coffee
and a sandwich has become
traditional brunching for the
hundreds of women who pitch
in to work on G-Day.
Mrs. Lewis B. Daniels, Wo-
men's Division campaign chair-
man, complimented Mrs. Hauser
and all the women working in
general solicitation on the ex-
cellent job of organization
which has been taking place the
last few weeks.
Twenty-nine briefing meet-
ings for workers were held
during the past week where
workers received their kits and
made their own campaign gifts.
Mrs. Arthur I. Gould was chair-
man of this briefing assignment.
Last year the general solicita-
tion branch raised $90,000. Mrs.
Hauser predicts that general
solocitation and contributors
will better that mark this year.
"G-Day a great day for giving,
has become a tradition in our
community," said Mrs. Daniels.
It is the day "Mrs. Housewife"
contributes to the Allied Jewish
Campaign.' She knows her an-
nual contribution aids, the great
rescue efforts of the United
Jewish Appeal and the agencies
at home, both locally and na-
tionally. "I urge all women to
help make this Sunday memor-
able in our community's his-
tory," said Mrs. Daniels.

Fisher Asks Workers
to Break Records
Max M. Fisher, chairman of
the 1958 Allied Jewish Cam-
paign, called upon campaign
contributors and workers to
break all previous records in
working for and giving to the
campaign during the next 12
days.
Fisher asked all workers to
devote themselves as fully as
possible during that time to the
campaign. "We must have faith
in ourselves and in the future,"
he said, "and by our giving and
working keep faith with those
in our city, our nation and
overseas, who must have our
help. Not only when the eco-
nomy is running at full capacity,
but particularly when it slows
a little, campaign beneficiaries
much be supported," said Mr.
Fisher.
"The campaign is approach-
ing the $4,000,000 mark," said
Fisher, "and I am confident
that at our closing celebration
on April 30, we will have
equaled last year's record
achievement. By our work, we
can make April 30 a time of
gala celebration of Israel's 10th
Anniversary—the 20th year of
the United JeWish Appeal's life-
saving work and of our own 32-
year record of achievement in
Detroit."
The campaign's general
chairman pointed to what he

had been discovered at a
depth of 4,200 feet.

termed "yeoman efforts" on
the" part of Irwin I. Cohn and
Leonard N. Simons, campaign
co-chairmen, as accounting
for the success of the cam-
paign to date. Fisher said,
"with camapign vice-chair-
men, Louis C. Blumberg and
Hyman Safran, and UJA na-
tional chairman, Joseph Holtz-
man, working round the clock
on the campaign, we are
bound to have a victory din-
ner on April 30."
Fisher had special praise for
the Women's Division, under
the chairmanship of Mrs. Lewis
B. Daniels, which reports its
job three-fourths done and the
rest up to its general solicita-
tion division, under the chair-
manship of Mrs. I. Jerome
Hauser, with an "all out" day,
April 20.
Leading the seven trades and
professional divisions and only
one percentage point behind the
Women's Division is the arts
and crafts division, under the
chairmanship of Harvey Wil-
lens. Close behind the arts and
crafts division is the food di-
vision, under the chairmanship
of Merwin K. Grosberg and
Jules Mehler, and in good com-
petition for first place is the
professional division, under the
chairmenship of Paul M. Han-
dleman and Abraham Satovsky.
Fisher highlighted six major
needs which must be met by the
United Jewish Appeal overseas:
1. Construction of 23,000
new dwelling units to ease
the housing shortage for
200,000 recent newcomers in
Israel now crowded into sub-
standard dwellings.
2. Maintenance aid for 460
new settlements, which pro-
vide homes, work and schools
for new immigrants, and to
meet the employment needs
of 30,000 heads of families
currently without full-time
employment.
3. Provision of infant care,
medical and clinical care,
schools, and adult vocational
training for more than 100,-
000 persons, mainly children,
in Morocco, Iran and other
Moslem lands.
4. Special emergency aid
for 10,000 Polish Jewish
repatriates from Russia, to
be administered by the Joint
Distribution Committee at the
request of the Polish Govern-
ment, and with the knowledge
of the U.S. Government. An
additional 15,000 to 20,000 are
expected to return to Poland
from Russia in 1958.
5. Special institutional care
for more than 10,000 handi-
capped or aged newcomers to
Israel, without families, and
unable to aid themselves.
6. Aid to 6,000 Jewish
refugees who will be reaching
the United States in 1958,
and settlement care for 5,000
in the New York area.
