Allied. Jewish Campaign lead-
ers and workers were greatly
heartened Tuesday night when
they were informed, at the
opening dinner meeting, held- at
the Jewish Center, that a total
of $3,195;231 has already been
subscribed.
This sum represents 67 per
cent of the total of • $4,791,563
raised in 1962.
Of this amount, the women
already have raised $515,695-
83 per cent of the 1962 total of
$623,000.
The sum raised thus far was
secured from 5,637 contri-
butors. Last year there were
23,600 donors. The campaigners
hope to enroll more than 25,000
contributors this year.
In a stirring address to the
gathered campaigners, Prof.
William Haber warned that
just as there has been no end
to emergencies in the last 25
years, so our communities
must be prepared for newly-
arising ones.
"Our lot has been to live in
a period in Jewish life when
emergencies are perennial," Dr.
Haber said. "There has been no
respite from tragedies and we
are just recovering from the
Algerian experience."
Pointing to Israel, whose re-
ply to those who ask for open
gates for escape from persecu-
tions is that her gates are open,
Dr. Haber commented that "it
is terrifying to think what
would have been if Jews had
becoMe resigned- to crises and
had failed of provide the help
that has been made available."
Stating that "it will be
terrifying if we are not pre-
pared for eventualities," Dr.
Haber said he foresaw a
crisis for Israel this year or
the next. He said: "I shudder
to think of the time when the
fantastic build-up of weapons

-

in Arab countries gets re-
leased. Let us not live in a
fancyland. The Arab armies
of 1948 and 1956 are not the
army of today. Their armies
have been merged into a
phalanx of power with the
help of Nazi experts, and we
must be prepared for shatter-
ing experiences. That's why
this campaign gains in signi-
ficance today."
Dr. Haber said he approaches
impending challenges with con-
fidence because "we have
matured for our responsibilities
at home and we have communi-
ties- that care." He said he sees
a mirror of communal progress
in the annual report of the
Jewish Welfare Federation of
Detroit in which "we have fash-
ioned an instrument for dealing
with our problems."
"We are building the Jewish
community of tomorrow, a dif-
ferent one, an American-born
one, in which 75 per cent of
our boys and girls go to col-
lege," he said. "Their identifica-
tion with Jewish life comes by
participation in the cultural
and philanthropic actions of our
communities."
He stated: "The future of the
Allied Jewish Campaign de-
pends on how effectively we
build the local institutions, to
get the youth to see the rea-
sons for linking the past with
the future, why we take an in-
terest in Israel and in the secur-
ity of Jews everywhere."
Joseph Meyerhoff of Balti-
more, national chairman of
the United Jewish Appeal,
major beneficiary of the
Allied Jewish Camp a i g n,
brought greetings from the
national organization on the
occasion of the 25th anniver-
sary of the UJA.
In-his address, Meyerhoff told
of the work of JDC in Morocco,

the UJA efforts to rescue and

secutions, the tremendous in-
flux of immigrants into Israel
and the manner in which they

ple into Israel as the available
means will permit, and he ap-
pealed for continued unstinted

paign's causes by his many co-
workers. He said there are
"thousands in the trades and
professions who take their
places in the ranks of volun-
teers."

health and recreational activi-
ties financed by the campaign
and in outlining the work

Soviet Archbishop Says Both Jews,
Catholics Are Slandered in Russia

WASHINGTON, (JTA) — The
head of a visiting delegation of
Soviet churchmen, Archbishop
Nikodim of the Russian Ortho-
dox Church, told a press confer-
ence that if some Soviet news-
papers denounce synagogues and
the Jewish faith the same organs
say even worse things about the
Russian Orthodox church.
Archbishop Nikodim added
that he could say only that the
position of the Jews in the So-
viet Union was stated "very
clearly" by Premier Khrushchev
in a recent letter to British
philosopher Bertrand Russell.
He suggested that prosecution,
as for economic crimes, was
linked 'not with religion but only
with the deeds of the "particular
persons involved."
The Archbishop's comments
were in reply to questions he
had been asked as to what So-

$860,000 Is Raised
for Stamford Synagogue

STAMFORD, Conn., (JTA)—
A new synagogue planned by
Congregation- Sholom of Stam-
ford will draw on early Biblical
architecture, Tobias Weiss, pres-
ident, has disclosed. Ground will
be broken this spring and the
building is expected to be ready
for services by September 1964.
About $860,000 of the $1,200,000
goal has been raised.

the denunciation by official So-
viet publications of the Jewish
religion and defamation of syna-
gogues as alleged centers of
crime. The Russian delegation
arrived here as guests of the
National Council of Churches.
