He then proceeded to out-
line the importance of the
United Jewish Appeal, whose
two purposes, he said, are:
(1) to rescue Jews from
lands where they are in
trouble and to help them
settle where they can find
haven; and (2) to build Is-
rael so that it can continually
receive those Jews who can
be rescued.
But the UJA doesn't operate
only in Israel, he explained.
He pointed to the assistance
that is being given the sur-
vivors from the Agadir earth-
quake, through the Joint Dis-
tribution Committee — one of
the UJA beneficiaries — and to
the help that is extended to
Jews in many lands, and he de-
clared: "We ' stretch our hand
to Jews in need, wherever they
may be."
Rabbi Friedman said that
"immigration into Israel con-
tinues in 1960 from all conti-
nents." He emphasized that
there are "unmet need," — the:
houses, schools, farms and other
necessities that Fare yet to be
provided for the newcomers. He
said that about two-thirds of
the million refugees who have
been welcomed by Israel al-
ready have the decent things
in life. These, he said, are the
barest necessities. The remain-
ing one-third still lives in tin
huts. "We have plans to elimi-
nate these maabarot," he added,
explaining the dire need for
assistance to the fund that
makes such aid possible.
"But the plans are just on
paper," he stated, pointing out
that while the UJA rescued a
million who were settled in
Israel and another 300,000 who
were enabled to go to other
countries after the war, that
there remain 800,000 more—in
lands outside of Soviet Russia—
who are potential immigrants to
Israel.
Declaring that Israel still
faces great danger from the
threatening Arab neighbors,
Rabbi Friedman said that
"while we cannot — and do
not—raise funds for Israel's
defense, the Israelis put into
their budget items for hous-
ing for newcomers."
He outlined Israel's progress
in - many industrial and scien-
tific areas, and especially em-
phasized the importance of the
Afro-Asian friendship for Israel
and the manner in which Afri-
can and Asian countries are
learning their know-how from
Israel. Because of such un-
selfish efforts, he said, "history
will call us benefactors — be-
cause we built well."

Reporting for the pre-cam-
paign division, Hyman Safran
said that his division will con-
tact 900 prospective givers in
excess of $1,000. He said that
of the 430 who have already
contributed in this category,
more than half made increases
over last year's gifts.

ports from all sections in the

An appeal to the campaign
leaders to translak7. the inspira-
tions they received from Rabbi
Friedman's address "into a con-
tinuous performance in the
campaign" was sounded by Isi-
dore Sobeloff, executive vice-
president of the Jewish Welfare
Federation. Sobeloff urged the
workers to "go forward, to
keep working, to use the infor-
mation they received to per-
suade and to convince others,
in the hope that we will do
better than ever before."
The campaign total of $3,-
291,154, as summarized in the
evening's rep o r t s , was an-
nounced to the gathering by
Sobeloff.
The first campaign report
meeting will be held Tuesday
evening at the Jewish Center.
Rabbi Jacob E. Segal will be
the speaker.
Taking pride in what he
called "our compact Jewish
community," Judge Theodore
Levin, who opened the dinner
meeting, spoke of the obliga-
tions to local causes and de-
clared that "our program is

ISTANBUL (JTA) — Turkey
and Israel signed a $32,000,000
trade agreement—the largest in
the history of their commercial
relations. Details were worked
out in a four-d: meeting in
Ankara and provide for 50 per
cent of paym lnts to be made
in hard currency and the
balance through clearing ar-
rangements.
under the agreement, Israel
will sell tires, trucks, fertilizers,
cotton, nylon and silk yarns,
paper, motorcycles and asphalt
to Turkey and will receive
sugar, cotton, tobacco, hides,
oilcakes, raisins and fish.
The agreement is for the
current year and will be ex-
tended automatically unless can-
celled o _ r modified. An innova-
tion in this agreement was that
the Turkish government under-
took to list in the Official
Gazette commodities that could
be imported from Israel and
to issue the necessary import
licenses automatically.
