Seek to Avoid Conflict
in Fund-Raising Aims

NEW ORLEANS, (JTA) — A
priorities committee of the Jew-
ish Federation of New Orleans.
set up to study, evaluate and
recommend proposals in cam-
paigns among New Orleans
Jewish institutions. made its
first evaluation in a fund-rais-
ing problem of two such insti-
tutions.
At issue was whether the
plans of the New Orleans Jew-
ish Community Center to seek
$1.200,000 in 1962 would con-
flict with those of the Home for
the Aged to raise $700.00 late
in 1959.
The priorities committee de-
cided that the campaigns could
be conducted as scheduled but
that the campaign for the Home
should be started before the end
of 1959 and be finished within a
year. The committee said care
should be exercise(' to avoid
conflict with the Jewish Wel-
fare Fund campaign.

German Film on Israel
Gets Prize in Berlin

BERLIN, (JTA)—Two prizes
were awarded at the Berlin
Film Festival to a documen-
tary film about Israel, hailing
the movie as the best docu-
mentary of the year. The
awards, with gold ribbons,
were given to the Hag Film
Company, of Frankfurt-am-
Main, which produced the
film, and the director, Herbert
Victor.
Dr. Ge/hard Schroder, West
Germany's Minister of the In-
terior, handed to representa-
tives of the film company and
to Mr. Victor the golden rib-
bons and cash prizes. The firm
received 47,500 deutschemarks
as its prize, and Mr. Victor
got 7,500 marks.
The film, in color, entitled
"Paradise in a Furnace," re-
cords a trip through Israel,
and presents the State of Is-
rael as "the oldest country
but the youngest state." It
stresses that Israel is "the
cradle of religion as well as
the crucible of races."
