Twenty five hundred workers
in the 1961 Allied Jgwish Cam-
paign are still at work on a
dwindling prospect list. _
Jack 0. Lefton, chairman of
the trades and professions, re-
ports that late returns are corn-
ing•in at a good rate. He said:
"I am proud of the way the
workers in the trades and pro-
fessions have stayed with the
Campaign. Their devotion will
mean many thousands of extra
dollars for the 56 great causes
the Campaign supports."
The Food Division, under the
chairmanship of George D. Keil,
is still leading the seven Trade'
and Professional Divisions both
in per cent of 1960 total raised
and in per cent of total number
of prospects secured.
Keil reports that the Food
Division has fewer than 50
potential contributors who have
not yet made gifts.

JERUSALEM, (.JTA) — The
