Allied Campaign Opens March 20

Aryeh L. Pincus and Miss Israel
Featured on Inaugural Program

- The board of governors of
the Jewish Welfare Federation
this week invited the commu-
nity to thz official opening of
its 1962 Jewish Campaign and
reception for campaign officers
a p.m. Tuesday, March 20, at
the Jewish Center. The drive
is for a goal of $5,904,000 —
$4,700,000 to meet on-going
needs locally, nationally, and
overseas — and a special fund
of $1,200,000 for emergent
United Jewish Appeal needs.
Aryeh L. Pincus, treasurer of
the Jewish Agency for Israel,
and Gila Golan—Miss Israel—
will be guests at the opening
meeting. Max M. Fisher, presi-
dent of the Federation, and a
former chairman of the Allied
Jewish Campaign, urges cam-
paign workers to come Q.21d
meet Paul Zuckerman, cam-
paign chairman, and the cam-
paign officers.
Pincus has practiced law in
Jerusalem between periods of
government service. He was in
a large measure responsible for
the establishment of El Al
Israel Airlines.
Miss Golan was hidden by a
Catholic Polish family and sur-
vived the Nazi occupation of
Kracow. After the war the
United Jewish Appeal took six-
year-old Gila to Israel. She has
been a kibbutznick, secretary
and model.
The beneficiaries of the Allied
Jewish Campaign are- the 14
local Federation member agen-
cies and a total of 55 essential
local, national and overseas
agencies and services. The 14
member agencies are: Commu-
nity Workshop, Fresh Air So-
ciety, Hebrew Free Loan Asso-
ciation, Jewish Community
Council, Jewish Community
Center, Jewish Family and Chil-
dren's Service, Jewish Home
for Aged, Jewish House of
Shelter, Jewish Vocational
Service, Idid-:asha, Resettlement
Service, Sinai Hospital and its
Shiffman Clinic, United He-
brew Schools, United Jewish
Charities.
Born in the Republic of
South Africa, Mr. Pincus was
a member of Johannesberg Bar
and an ardent leader in Zionist
causes, serving as vice president
of the South African Zionist
Federation, head of its Labor
Zionist movement and member
of the Executive of the South
African Jewish Board of Dep-
uties.
In February of 1948, several
months after the United Na-
tions voted to partition Pales-
tine into independent Jewish
and Arab states, Pincus emi-
grated there and joined the
newly-organized Israel Ministry
of Transport as Secretary Gen-
eral and legal advisor. In these
capacities, he was instrumental
in the establishment of El Al
Airlines, and served as its first
managing director until 1956.
He then became director of the
finance and budget committee
of the Jewish Agency for Israel,
Inc. In June, 1960, he was ap-
pointed treasurer of that or-
ganization. One of his major
responsibilities is to maintain
close liaison between the Jewish
Agency, Jerusalem, and the re-
constituted Jewish Agency, New

York, and prepare the detailed
budgetary . estimates of • needs
for the United- • Jewish Appeal
campaigns.
Pincus is a member of the
executive of Histadruth, Israel's
labor federation.
Like most Israeli emigrants,
"Golan" is not Miss Israel's
original surname, as it is a
common practice for new immi-
grants to adopt a name which -
is a Hebrewized version of what
it was in their country of origin.
However, in Miss Golan's case-

and youths to Israel, and pro-
vides for the care, education
and eventual economic absorp-
tion there.
As Palestine was still a Brit-
ish Mandate, Miss Golan had
*to wait two years before she
received a certificate permitting
her to emigrate to Israel. That
two years was spent in a Youth
Aliyah boarding school in
France.
In Israel Miss Golan remained
under the care of Youth Aliyah
until she was 14. After com-
pleting the equivalent to a
junior high school education,
she decided to join a religious
kibbutz, or communal farm
settlement, where she lived for

prize. In 1961, she was sent by
the Israel government to the
United States to model the
fashions created by • Israel's
growing textile and fashion de-
sign industry.
Paul Zuckerman who was
1961 Allied Jewish Campaign
chairman, again heads the drive

this year. He is a member of
the board of governors of the
Jewish Welfare Federation and
serves on the executive and
capital needs committee. He is
a member of the Port of Detroit-
County Authority Defense Com-
mittee and the United Founda-
tion advisory board.

Miss Golan

the name in Hebrew means both
"joy" and "discovery." The sur-
name chosen for her is in real-
ity a capsule version of her
life's story. At the age of three
she was found wandering in
the streets of Nazi-occupied
Kracow, the capital of Polish
Galicia, the sole survivor, by
some miracle, of a nameless
Jewish family. Fortunately for
her she was adopted by a fam-
ily of Christian Poles who had
five children of their own.
At the end of the Nazi occu-
pation, some three years later,
her Polish foster parents — de-
vout Catholics -- revealed her
identity to the Youth Aliyah,
the organization which, with the
aid of the United Jewish Ap-
peal, conducts a program of im-
migration of Jewish children

Israel President Strongly Backs
Marriages with Jews from India

JERUSALEM, (JTA)—Presi-
dent Ben-Zvi came out vigor-
ously in support of the recent
Chief Rabbinate's decision per-
mitting marriages with the Bene
Israel immigrants from India.
He declared that the decision
should be welcomed by all lead-
ers and members of the Bene
Israel community in Israel.
The President made his state-
ment in a comment on criticism
of recent directives given by the
rabbinate to marriage registrars
concerning inquiry into the Jew-
ishness of parents and grand-
parents of Bene Israel marriage
applicants. He hailed the dec
sion recognizing Bene Israel
members as full Jews. He ex-
pressed the hope that the direc-
tives would not be misinter-
preted to the extent that such
critism might negate the
decision.
The President also said that
he felt that the leaders of the
Bene Israel community had no
justification for objecting to the
questions since rabbis had a

four years, handling farm chores
and pursuing secretarial stud-
ies. On the completion of her
studies, she obtained employ-
ment in the offices of Israel's
Veteran's Administration in Tel
Aviv.
There again she was "dis-
covered" by a photographer
who urged her to pose for him.
The editors of a woman's maga-
zine in Israel which chose her
photograph for the cover of one
of its issues were so impressed
by her striking beauty that they
sponsored her in Israel's 1960
beauty queen contest and she
was picked from 200 contest-
ants to become Miss Israel of
1960.
Soon after she was spon-
sored for the Miss World Con-
test in which she 'won second

complete right to question all
marriage applicants concerning
such Jewish matters. His state-
ment was expected to sooth the
controversy and serve as a cue
for moderation both for rabbis
performing such marriages and
for Bene Israel members.
