3-THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS—Friday, May
$5.000,000 Year Certain at End
of '58 Allied Jewish Campaign
(Continued from Page 1)
were several score such "old
timers," many of them still
active in Jewish communal
affairs. Also present were many
close relatives of some 50 board
members of 20 years ago no
longer living. A moving me-
morial tribute was paid to
them and to the newer genera-
tion now carrying on as a
"fitting mark of respect."
Isidore Sobeloff, executive
vice-president of the Federa-
tion, analyzed the division re-
ports, complimented Fisher and
the campaign forces for the
effective performance to date
and exhorted the campaigners
to "finish the job" to assure
another $5,000,000 year.
The closing dinner began in
an atmosphere of excitement
as Fisher announced he was
unable to give a final campaign
figure as last minute returns
were being tallied, but prom-
ised the total would "reflect
the traditional generosity of
Detroit's Jewish community."
"We were determined that
we could not pass up the sec-
ond chance which history has
given us to save the remnant
of the Jews of Poland and to
afford them the. opportunity of
a new life in Israel. We realized
that business conditions could
not become an obstacle to our
completing the program of in-
tegration for the Jews who had
started their new life in Israel
in 1957," Fisher said.
"We decided that not one
child should be denied a Jewish
education in our community
schools; that not one old person
should lose the benefits of the
fine facilities of our Home for
Aged; that not one youngster
should be denied a camp vaca-
tion because of what the econo-
mists called "a business re-
cession," Fisher told his en-
thusiastic audience.
He referred to Irwin I. Cohn
and Leonard N. Simons, cam-
paign co-chairmen, as "tried
and seasoned," in praising their
campaign efforts.
Joseph Holtzman, UJA na-
tional chairman, was presented
as "the dynamo who has
generated energy and en-
thusiasm for the entire Cam-
paign by his tireless work."
Pointing out that in Detroit,
former campaign chairmen are
denied the right to retire,
Fisher introduced John E.
Lurie, Harvey H. Goldman, Abe
Kasle, Louis Berry, Maurice
Aronsson, Nate S. Shapero and
Abe Srere.
Among those who reported
for the various campaign divi-
sions were: Harold A. Robinson,
Sidney J. Bertin, Robert Tre-
peck, A. Alfred Taubman, Mer-

win K. Grosberg, Paul M. Han-
dleman, Harvey Willens, Rich-
ard Kramer, Alan E. Luckoff
and Mrs. Lewis Daniels.
At the speaker's table and
presented to the audience by
Fisher were Rabbi Morris Adler
of Congregation Shaarey Zedek,
Samuel H. Rubiner, former
president of the Jewish Wel-
fare Federation and the chair-
man of its executive committee;
Mrs. Henry Wineman and Mrs.
Joseph Ehrlich, honorary chair-
men of the Women's Division;
Mrs. Lewis B. Daniels, chair-
man of the 1958 Women's Cam-
paign; Mrs. Sidney J. Karbel,
chairman of the Women's Divi-
sion; Max J. Zivian, treasurer
of the Federation; Sidney J.
Allen, chairman of the capital
needs committee of Federation;
and Justice Henry M. Butzel,
honorary vice-chairman of the
campaign.
Fisher praised Louis C. Blum-
berg and Hy Safran, vice-chair-
men of the 1958 campaign,
"whose tireless help has been
invaluable," and the co-chair-
men and vice-chairmen of pre-
campaign, Abraham Shiffman,
Abe Green and • Charles H.
Gershenson. These men and
their associates deserve our
everlasting g r a t i t u d e, said
Fisher.
In behalf of the Federation
and "in the name of a grateful
community," Judge Levin of-
fered Fisher thanks and con-
gratulations for his "great
work."
Judge Levin spoke of the
great debt of gratitude the
community owes the boards of
management of Federation and
its agencies which administer
the donated funds and direct
the day-to-day operations of our
services for the public good.
Referring to the members of
the board of governors of
Federation, and its member
agencies in 1938, the year the
UJA was established, Judge
Levin said: "If we are a great
community, it is in good mea-
sure because of the contribu-
tion they made toward our de-
velopment. Of those who are
no longer with us we note that
their memory is a blessing,
and to thoSe who are still
among us we extend our felici-
tations and our wish that they
continue to be with us in the
years ahead."
In his stirring address, Dr.
Schwartz commended the De-
troit Jewish community for
its generosity. "I have always
found a response here and
have never left your city
empty-handed," he said. He
especially praised the local
leaders for having under-
taken the $3,000,000 loan for
the UJA "to further humani-
tarian progress."
Recalling his recent visit in
Israel where he witnessed the
opening of the Elath to Beershe-
ba road, he mentioned Prime
Minister David Ben - Gurion's
description of that road as "Is-
rael's dry land Suez Canal."
"Only now, in modern Israel,
do the people of Israel possess
both water outlets, the ports of
the Red Sea and the Mediter-
ranean," Dr. Schwartz said. He
recalled that only 10 years ago
Jews everywhere were com-
pelled to talk and be concerned
about the barest essentials of
life, the illegal immigration, the
tragedies of the displaced per-
sons.
"Now we talk about planes,
railroads, factories," he de-
clared. "We direct rivers to
bring precious waters to the
south. We have become ex-
perts in diplomacy, in finance,
in military matters. The won-
derful thing about it is that
we just don't read about , it,
but that we helped to bring it
about."
Dr. Schwartz added that "Jews
know almost by instinct that the'
job isn't done—that there is a
hard road ahead.
"There are still many tens of
thousands of Jews scattered
throughout the world who need
our help to be brought to a life
of dignity in the country that
will welcome them," he said.
"We must rescue many from
Morocco, Tunisia, Algeria, for
whom the scales may turn any
moment."
He also indicated that the
new tragic situation in Russia
may offer an opportunity "to
renew our ties with our breth-
ren there." "We must be pre-
pared," he said, "for greater ef-
forts to accomplish the task of
rescue and rehabilitation in the
near future.
"The job is not finished un-
til. every Jew who can be
saved is saved," he declared.
"A determined Yishuv in Is-
rael and a determined world
Jewry will not rest until the
future of the Jewish people is
made secure from attacks
wherever they may come."

Bond dollars, and he told of
the rising need for increased
investments in Israel through
Bond purchases.
