Federation Pre-Budget Conference on December 17 The Jewish Welfare Federation will hold its annual pre-campaign budget con- ference, 10 a.m., Sunday, Dec. 17, at the Jewish Center, 18100 Meyers. The budget conference will develop a percentage formula for allocating funds to be raised from the Federation's 1962 Allied Jewish Campaign into three categor- ies: local, national and overseas. The budget conference idea was developed in Detroit and was first tried 13 years go. It has since spread to many Jewish communities throughout the country: Each year representatives from other communities came to observe Detroit's Budget Conference. The Globke Dossier 3:: Tribute to Louis Lipsky THE JEWISH NEWS - Hanukah Blunders Commentary Page 2 Vol. XL, No. 15 Two unique features of the conference are that the budgeting is done in percent- age of a whole, rather than in dollars, into an anticipated campaign achievement and that the budgeting concerns geographic areas of need rather than specific agencies. The recommendations of the budget conference are not binding until they are approved by the board of governors of the Federation. A feature of the conference is the presentation of anticipated needs by leaders in the budgeting areas of health and welfare, community relations, education and overseas needs.

The debate on the Arab refugee problem, currently under way in the General Assembly's Special Political Committee, has shaped up in accordance with expectations—as vitriolic and as bitter as everyone in the know here had predicted. But under the seething surface, there is a potential explosion in the making. When this bombshell erupts, it will come with a big bang. For its engineers are delegates who have known and have lived through explosions. They are the newly liberated Africans. When . Ahmad Shukairy, Saudi Arabia's gift to world ennui, sounded off for more hours than anyone cared to count, he was driving a score of nails into the Arab coffin. Literally dozens of dele- gates in the committee sat stunned, bored and bothered as he raved away against Israel. Others just took a walk to smoke or chat in the clearer atmosphere of the halls outside the committee room. Many were resentful. And among the angriest were a great many Africans. ,Much of the Arab harangue is directed toward the Africans. They don't want it and are prone to say, when asked, that they have had enough of the Arab propaganda against a people they knoW and like—the Israelis. Israel now has close relations with more than 50 countries in Africa and Asia. During the last year, at least a half-dozen of the new African sovereignties have sent their leading statesmen for personal, on-the-spot acquaintanceship with Israel, its government leaders and its people. A number of treaties have been signed between Israel and the new African countries. The Africans are not taking the word of the Arabs on what Israel is like. As for the refugee problem, the Africans are no longer novices. They have taken the trouble to study that stormy situa- . tion. They did not stop at the refugee problem. They went further, deep into the history of the entire Palestine question. A dozen Shukairys cannot bamboozle them with fireworks and fabrications. What the refugee debate comes clown to, therefore, is this: (Continued on Page 3) ALGIERS, (JTA)—Algerian Jews, increasingly under physical attack in the worsening Algerian-French situation, acted in organized fashion this week to expedite plans to leave the strife-torn French colony. Jewish organizations set up a committee to handle requests from Jewish families for help in emigrating to France. They were spurred by no less than five murders of Algerian Jews in a two-day period, most of them committed by FLN Algerian rebel terrorists. Anxiety was particularly strong in Constantine, where the Jewish population has dipped from 17,000 before the Algerian independence struggle began to about 5,000 now. The 12,000 who left went to France or Israel. The remaining Jews in Constantine, expressing fears that the physical attacks were taking on a specific anti-Jewish character, were reported ready to emigrate. An additional factor in this decision was reported to be the increasing penetration by Moslems into all administrative offices and into Algerian trade and industry. Many Algerian Jews, after receiving threats from Moslems, have responded by packing up and departing after selling their homes and shops to the Moslems. President Kennedy Greets Congregation Shaarey Zedek, on Its 100th Anniversary President John F. Kennedy headed a long list of notables who greeted Congregation Shaarey Zadek on its 100th anniversary. The President, in his message read at the centennial dinner at Cobo Hall, Sunday night, congratulated and wished it well on the commencement of its sec- ond century of existence. Rabbi Morris Adler delivered the principal address of the evening, Dr. Louis Finkelstein, Chancellor of the Jewish Theological Seminary, who was to have been the guest speaker, having been grounded in Chicago when lie could not deplane here due to the fog. Judge Charles Rubiner was the toast- master. Abraham Satovsky, president of the congregation, and Louis Berry were among the speakers. The gathering was informed about the progress that is being made in the construction of the new synagogue on James Couz- ens and 11-Mile Road. JDC Boasts Malben Achievements: "The greatest voluntary rehabilitation agency of our times," Dr. Giora Josephthal, Israel's Labor Minister, called Malben, the Joint Distribution Committee program on behalf of aged, ill and handicapped newcomers to Israel. The Malben program, which is expected to benefit more than 44,000 needy Israeli immigrants in 1961, will be one of the programs reviewed at the 47th annual meeting of the Joint Distribution Committee, Dec. 9 in New York City. This program, and others conducted by the JDC in 26 countries in Europe, North Africa and the Middle East, are made possible mainly by the campaigns of the United Jewish Appeal. A prime goal of the Malben program is to rehabilitate the handicapped, (Detailed Story on Page 9) get them working.

A new development is the home care program under which patients may continue to live at home and still receive medical treatment.
