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 every three of these newcomers still lacks the basic require. 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. 1955 -through 1958, Holtzman also has served the UJA as its national chairman for regions and as national cash chairman. He is on the board of directors of many key Detroit Jewish communal organizations and has figured prominently in the work of the Allied Jewish Campaign of Detroit.
