Emphasizing that the initial
gifts of $3,337,906 represent "the
largest amount ever raised at a
campaign opening meeting,"
Zuckerman appealed for serious
efforts to reach all prospects in
the drive and to aim at raising
the total amount needed for all

Guest speakers at the meet-

treasurer of the Jewish
Agency,
Miss Golan spoke as one of
the many thousands of children
who were miraculously rescued
from the Nazi terror.
She was rescued by a Christian
family at the age of three, and
cannot remember her parents.
"We in Israel have risen out of
the ashes in the greatest human
tragedy," she declared, "and we
are the product of a great part-

Pincus described current
events which demand unstinted

to the Syrian attacl:s on Lake

He spoke about the influx of
new immigrants into Israel as a
result of humiliations in several
areas and pointed out that the
costs are enormous to meet
emergencies. He quoted several

who had felt secure hitherto in
their homelands to seek new
homes in Israel.
An appeal for action for a
successful campaign by Isidore
Sobeloff, executive vice president
of the Federation, concluded the
meeting. Rabbi Israel Halpern
gave the invocation. A reception
for the guest speakers and cam-
paign leaders followed the meet-
ing.
