Jewry's central philanthropy for
the rescue and resettlement of
homeless and distressed Jews
the world over. Senator Kenneth
Keating of New York and Israel
Ambassador to the United States
Avraham Harman joined UJA
general chairman Joseph Meyer-
hoff in urging continued. support
of the Appeal's worldwide h•
manitarian activities and objec-
tives.

The drive launched here
will seek $96,000,000 through
the end of 1963 for the financ-
ing of relief, welfare, migra-
tion, resettlement and medical
aid programs on behalf of
575,000 refugees and dis-
tressed Jews in 28. countries.
The gift presentations and the
exercises that commemorated
the Appeal's 25th anniversary
were the highlights of a ban-
quet that closed a three-day
national inaugural conference
attended by 1,500 communal
leaders from all parts of the
United States.

"I don't think that it would
be out of line to assume that
since • the United Jewish Appeal
emerged into existence 25 years
ago, Jews of the United States
and the people of Israel have
handled jointly a Jewish migra-
tion not far short of 2,000,000
people," Ambassador Harman
said.
"It is because we have han-
dled that volume of Jewish mi-
gration in so short a period of
time, that the Jewish people did
not succumb because of the liqui-
dation of age-old centers of Jew-
ish life and civilization in Cen-
tral and Eastern Europe and
North Africa, but was able to
emerge from that catastrophe
strengthened."
Meyerhoff, speaking on the
theme of the UJA's 25th anniver-
sary, reported that the UJA has
raised a total of $1,435,000,000
through its 24 successive, annual
drives in the United States.

The United Jewish Appeal
added a new wing to its
nationwide campaign structure
with the formal' induction of a
National Young Leadership Di-
vision made up of business and
professional men and women
in the 25 to 40 year age group.
Induction of the new group
came as the high point of the
UJA conference.

sponsibilities in France faced by
Fonds Social Juif Unifie, central
Jewish welfare body in that
country, and the Joint Distribu-
tion Committee, it was envisaged
here. The sum, which was seen
as forecasting a deficit of at least
$2,000,000 "if no additional
funds are _made available," was
reached here at a conference at
JDC headquarters between the
administrative heads of the two
organizations, JDC and FSJU.
The review of the situation of
the Jewish population of France,
now swollen to a total of 500,000
by the influx of refugees from
North Africa, was made by
Claude Kelman, vice-president of
the FSJU, and Charles H. Jor-
dan, JDC's director-general for
overseas affairs. "In a common
effort to meet the crisis caused
by the steady flow of Jews from
other countries into France, cul-
minated by the arrival in France
last year of 120,000 Jews from
Algeria," said Jordan. "JDC is
pouring into France every dollar
it can spare from its worldwide
obligations. We are seeking addi-
tional help from every possible
source, and have had to draw
funds for Jewish needs in France
from many countries in Europe
and elsewhere."
"It will be impossible, how-
ever," Jordan emphasized, "to
make up the $2,000,000_ to be
still needed without an unparal-
leled outpouring of generosity
from the Jews of America to the
United Jewish Appeal — the pri-
mary source of support for our
work."
Kelman revealed that the
FSJU raised, in 1962, the equiv-
alent of $1,100,000 over and
above "considerable sums"
raised for local programs by
many Jewish communities
throughout France.
"We have to raise even more
during this coming year," the
French Jewish leader said, "but
even that will not be sufficient.
A basic. Jewish population of
300,000, determined as they are
to make every effort for integra-
tion of their refugee brethren,
cannot begin to take care of the
great number of the destitute
and helpless among the 200,000
who have entered the country
in recent years. It is certain,
however, that Jews in the rest
of the world, particularly in
America, will not fail to help."
