Rabbi Herbert A. Friedman,
UJA executive vice-chairman,
declared that "despite the great
achievements of Israel's people
in taking in nearly one million
refugees in 11 years, one out of

ments of decent and civilized
living."
Dr. Dov Joseph, treasurer of
the Jewish Agency, told the
audience that the successful
integration of all the refugees
who have come to Israel since
1948 would have called for an
expenditure of at least $400,-
000,000 beyond what the Agency
received during that time from
voluntary sources, including
the United Jewish Appeal.

He is on the board of directors
of many key Detroit Jewish
communal organizations and has
