$3, 904, 429 Goal in11962Created by Orerseas-Israel, Domestic _Needs Budgeting Conference Sets Drive Formula ; Zuckerman Renamed to Head Campaign Faced by emergency demands for- a 50 per cent increase in contributions to the United Jewish Ap- peal, to meet vastly increasing needs created by a new immigration influx into Israel, the annual pre- campaign budgeting conference of the Jewish Wel- fare Federation and the Allied Jewish Campaign, in session Sunday at the Jewish Community Center, unanimously went on record endorsing a call to the community to increase 1962 contribution in the amount of $1,200,000. A steering committee which developed a formula for the 1962 'campaign, meeting after the conference session, approved as the 1962 campaign goal the sum of $4,704,429 as a base for the normal Detroit gifts to the UJA, the educational obligations of the com- munity, its health and welfare and civic-protective projects and the responsibilities to the educational and health and welfare national agencies. The base represents small increases to provide for increased national allocations and for the ex- pansion of the community's educational system. On the basis of the formula arrived at by the steering committee, the goal for 1962 is $5,904,429. Announcement also was made at Sunday's conference that Paul Zuckerman has been renamed for, and has accepted, the chairmanship of the 1962 campaign. Charles H. Gershenson will be Zuckerman's co-chairman. Sol Eisenberg and A. Alfred Taubman were named co- chairmen of pre-campaign ac- tivities. Leonard Simons and Phillip Stollman were named cam- paign vice-chairmen. Max M. Fisher presided at the budgeting conference, and Paul Zuckerman .reports were submitted by chairmen of the health and welfare, educational, civ- ic-protective, capital needs and overseas Israel divi- sions. Hyman Safran was chairman of the steering com- mittee, which formulated the campaign obligations. Committee members included: William Avrunin, Mandell L. Berman, Lawrence Crohn, Jacob Citron, Dr. Norman Drachler, Mrs. Joseph H. Ehrlich, Sol Eisenberg, Max M. Fisher, Edward Fleischman, Ir- win Green, Charles H. Gershenson, Samuel H. Green- berg, Dr. Jerome Hauser, Fred H. Keidan, Mrs. Sid- ney Karbel. Jack 0. Lefton, Judge Theodore Levin, Alan Luckoff, Isaac Litwak, Mrs. Philip R. Marcuse, Dr. Irving Posner, Erwin S. Simon, Leonard Simons, Philip Slomovitz, Max M. Shaye, Phillip Stollman, Alan E. Schwartz, Isidore Sobeloff, Louis Tabashnik, A. Alfred Taubman, and Stanley J. Winkelman. The base formula provides for these allocations: Overseas and Israel, $2,218,929; local operating, $1,- 419,475; local capital, $230,909; national agencies, $207,455. The campaign formula provides that, after allo- cating $4,704,429 for all these needs, everything raised above this sum will go-100 per cent to the United Jewish Appeal for overseas needs and Israel. The campaign aim will be to secure the additionally needed sum of $1,200,000 to boost the total to $5,904,429.

XL— No. 17 17100 W.. 7 Mile Rd., Detroit 35 December 22, 1961 Israel Acts to Prevent Eichmann Assassination Direct JTA Teletype Wire to The Jewish News TEL AVIV—Adolf Eichmann will be moved from prison to prison every few weeks until a final decision is made on the death sentence imposed on him last Friday, the Israel Prison Commission said Tuesday. The switches of prison locations was directed to deal with the "extreme possibility" of a conspiracy by fellow prisoners to kill the former Gestapo colonel. Eichmann currently is back in Ramle prison, working again on his memoirs. An appeal from the death sentence has been .filed with the Israel Supreme Court which is not expected to act on the issue before March. Servatius Believes Death Sentence Will Not Be Carried Out COLOGNE, (JTA)—Dr. Robert Servatius. chief counsel for Adolf Eichmann, said upon his arrival here from Jerusalem that in his opinion it is "ten to one" that the ,death sentence against Eichmann will never be carried out. He said that, in his appeal, he will challenge the Israel court's jurisdiction over Eichmann, the method of Eichmann's apprehension through his kidnaping in Buenos Aires, and the "procedural faults" of the trial itself. Lawyer Files - Notice of Appeal Against Death Sentence JERUSALEM, (JTA) — Counsel for Adolf Eichmann filed notice of an appeal to the Israel Supreme Court. The notice was filed by Dieter Wechtenbruch, assistant to the chief of Eich- mann's defense, Dr. Robert Servatius. The latter returned to Germany immediately after the sentencing. Wechtenbruch told the Jewish Telegraphic Agency he has requested an extension of 15 days for filing the defense reasons for the appeal against the court's judgment and sentence. Dr. Servatius, he said, will be back here before the end of the month for the finalization of the formal appeal. Eichmann, as a convict facing death instead of a mere prisoner awaiting trial and sentence, has been transferred from the jurisdiction of the police to the care of the government's prison administration. The convict is now in an Israeli prison, occupying a single cell, wearing a regulation red prison costume instead of civilian garb. His cell contains a bed, table, chair and drinking water. He will be denied contact with other prisoners but will be permitted to take a walk every day. Both Dr. Servatius and Wechtenbruch told newspapermen here, after the sentencing, that Eichmann had expected the verdict he heard as well as the sentence. "It was no surprise to him," said Dr. Servatius before he left for Germany. "After all, he himself did not expect to rejoin his family again as a free man." Dr. Servatius praised the conduct of the trial here, declaring it was "a great spiritual achievement." He expressed the opinion that the Eichmann trial was juridically a greater achievement than the Nuremberg War Crimes trials in 1946, when he acted as defense counsel for some of the leading Nazi war criminals. Wechtenbruch said "the first time I saw Eichmann, I felt he would be hanged." Like his chief, he declared also that "Eichmann received a fair trial throughout." He • answered "yes" to a question as to whether a German court would have convicted Eichmann under the same evidence adduced at the trial here. One objection raised by Dr. Servatius was to the refusal by Israel's Attorney General Gideon Hausner, chief prosecutor in the Eichmann case, to the release of the book of memoirs written by Eichmann since he was imprisoned here. Dr. Servatius said he would have submitted the book to the court, but for Hausner's rejection of his request to obtain the manuscript. Wechtenbruch said the defense hopes to sell Eichman's memoirs to meet the cost of the appeal. The Israel government had allocated $20,000 to help defray the ex- penses, but Wechtenbruch said the defense has already spent $32,500. The assistant defense counsel said Eichmann's book contains "no criticism of Israel whatever." The appeal to the Israel Supreme Court, if filed early next month, cannot result in a high tribunal ruling before about March, since the high court will have to study not only the entire 300-page final judgement and sentence, but also the lengthy record of the trial law, the appeal must be heard by a minimum of three members of the Supreme Court and, in any . case, by any odd number of justices.

But Enlists 34 Votes Direct JTA Teletype Wires to The Jewish News . UNITED NATIONS, N.Y.—The General Assembly on Wednesday began con- sideration of a United States resolution calling for the "intensification" of efforts of the Palestine Conciliation ComMission concerning the Arab refugee problem. The resolution was adopted Tuesday by the 104-nation special political committee with two pro-Arab amendments by a vote of 74 to one, with 23 abstentions. The pro-Arab amendments can be rejected by the General Assembly. The special political committee cast 34 votes on behalf of another resolution which, for the first time in many years, called for direct peace negotiations between Israel and Arab states. By a majority of 44 to - 34, with 20 abstentions, this resolution was rejected ; but the size of the favorable vote was deemed here as a significant move in the direction of ultimate Arab-Israel peace negotiations. An amendment to the American resolution, proposed by Afghanistan, Indonesia and Pakistan, calls for reconstitution of the PCC and for the commission's enlarge- ment from three members to five. This was adopted by a vote of 47 to 27, with 24 abstentions. The United States, Britain and France joined Israel in voting against the amendment. The second amendment "requests reconstituted conciliation commissions to take measures for protection of rights and property interests of Palestine Arab refugees." This clause was rejected by Israel on grounds that such a move by the PCC to deal with alleged Arab property in Israel, impinges upon Israel sovereignty. The amendment was adopted, 42 to 36, with 20 abstentions, the U.S., Britain and France again, joining Israel in voting against it. On the resolution as a whole, including anti-Israel amendments, the U.S. and Britain voted for, France and a number of West European and British Common- (Continued on Page 3)
