said, "With urgent special fund
needs, the 100 per cent figure
is not the figure the Arts and
Crafts Division is shooting for.
We plan to pass it."
Close behind the arts and

The Women's Division, under

there was no place for homeless

workers get their prospects to

appeal, donations were in-
creased for the Allied Jewish

Key phrases in King's solici-

where Jews are oppressed, it
isn't long until everyone is

Litwak also called Ernest
