"Now is the time to complete
the unfinished business of im-
migrant absorption in Israel.
Men and women waiting for
help can be taken from the
waiting lists. But, meanwhile, if
adequate funds are not made
available, there will be more
suffering in the ma'abarot and
Jewish immigrants from East-
ern Europe will be without
housing for the winter months.
We can help Israel's people to
forge ahead in building prop-
erly and decently the great
democracy that all of us want
Israel to be.
Holtzman's appeal for the
UJA was supplemented by a
statement in behalf of overseas
and Israel needs by Samuel H.
Rubiner, who stated:
"In 1958 we allocated for
overseas and sIrael agencies a
total of $2,577,090, or 58 per
cent of the funds available for
distribution .after campaign ex-
pense and reserve for shrink-
age. Most of this money went
specifically to the United Jew-
ish Appeal — $2,078,000 in
the Regular Fund and $406,000
in the Special Fund. This is
$38,000 more than the 1957
Regular Fund and a decrease
of a million dollars in the
Special Fund.
"Examination of the Budget
Manual shows clearly that the
Overseas and Israel agencies
take the greatest loss when our
Campaign slips and benefit
most when our Campaign is
successful. I refer to dollars
rather than percentages. We

must recognize that the need of
the UJA for funds to finance
basic services to our people in
Israel and in many other parts
of the world is overwhelming
and continuous. Rescue and life
building must be paid for with
money. Our people all over the
world look to us to give our
fair share — measured by the
depth of our feeling and our
generosity."
An important statement was
made by Louis LaMed as chair-
man of the education division.
He emphasized that he and his
associates are guided by the
overriding principle "that any
child who wants a Jewish educa-
tion within our c o m u n a 1
school program should be ac-
cepted." He stated that a new
increase of 275 children is ex-
pected next year in the United
Hebrew Schools which already
has an enrollment of 3,000 and
he declared that there is an
immediate need for an addi-
tional branch in the Seven-Mile-
Evergreen area.
LaMed also outlined the com-
munity's responsibility to the
teachers, in the interest of as-
s u r i n g improved educational
factors, and he pleaded for
funds to make possible the
establishment of classes for ex-
ceptional children and teacher
training programs.
In his report for the health
and welfare division, Erwin
Simon said that the Jewish
Home for Aged must enlarge its
medical program. He told of the
need of the Jewish Family and
Children's Service to provide

Bonn Backs W. German Investors
in Aswan Dam Construction

Direct JTA Teletype Wire
to The Jewish News

LONDON—It was reported by
British newspapers here on
Tuesday that a plan proposed
by the West German Republic
to guarantee work by a group
of West German investors on a
high dam at Aswan for Egypt
has the approval of United
States officials. The plan would
extend a $50,000,000 export cred-
it guarantee to the United Arab
Republic in the form of capital
goods and services.
According to these reports
U.S. approval was the result of
conferences between Assistant
Secretary of State William A.
Rountree and President Gamal
Abdel Nasser of the UAR.
The reports also indicated
that final American approval
was contingent on three condi-
tions. These were that the UAR
must agree with Sudan on the
joint use of the Nile head wa-
ters; that there must be no joint
enterprises with the Russians;
and that all farms and towns-
folk displaced by the dam proj-

ect should be adequately com-
pensated.
The press also reported that
no specific political conditions
were attached. to the project by
the German firms. Businessmen
from Japan, Switzerland and
Italy were reported considering
joining the West Germans in
financing the loan for the con-
struction of the dam.
The UAR Embassy in Bonn
distributed a statement saying
that participation in the first
part of the project was still open
to Western countries.
Meanwhile further extension
of Soviet influence in the
United Arab Republic was seen
here in the agreement signed in
Cairo Monday under which the
Russians will construct five new
airfields in Egypt.
The agreement also provided
for Russian building of a ther-
mal power station at Suez and
an undisclosed and unspecified
number of "new enterprises."
The agreement followed talks
between A. Nikitin, chairman of
the foreign relations committee
of the Soviet Council of Minis-
ters, and Abba Aziz Sidky, Cen-
tral Minister of Industry for the
UAR. All of the new construc-
tion is slated for Egypt.
