Friday, December 13, 1963—THE DETROIT JEWIS H NEW S-18 JDC Sets 1964 $33,461,000 Goal NEW YORK, (JTA) — The Joint Distribution Committee, at its annual meeting, adopted a budget of $33,461,000 for its activities in 1964, almost $3,- 000,000 greater than in 1963. More than 500 delegates from all parts of the country attended the dinner meeting at which Mrs. Marietta Tree, Unit e d States representative to the United Nations, was the guest speaker. The adopted budget provides for relief, medical and welfare services for some 485,000 needy Jews in 30 countries of Europe, North Africa and the Near East, including I s r a e 1. This is the greatest number to be aided since 1949. The largest single item in the budget remains the JDC- Malben program in Israel, he noted. The budget provides $7,000,000 to aid aged, ill and handicapped newcomers to the Jewish State in 1964. The next largest item, $5,565,900, is for aid in Europe. In the Moslem countries, despite the continu- ing emigration of tens of thou- sands, close to 100,000 Jews— about half the remaining Jewish population — will need JDC assistance in 1964. The budget has allotted $6,200,000 for its program in this area. In Israel JDC will provide aid for over 83,000, some 50,000 of whom to be assisted through the Malben program and 8'795,000 will be allocated for aid to another 35,000 in 104 yeshivoth (r eligious schools) and other religious end cultural programs in Israel and for vocational training. Edward M. M. Warburg, who was re-elected at the meeting as JDC chairman, reported that the historic migration of over- seas Jews, which began immedi- ately after World War II, was still continuing. Charles H. Jordan, JDC director - general for overseas operations, in analyzing at the dinner the 1964 budget, stressed the number of Jews to be aided by JDC in the coming year "is the largest since 1949." He cited especially the fact that of the 85,000 Jews to be aided in all of Europe in 1964 more than 50,000 are r e f u g e e s from Algeria and other North African c o u n t r i e s now residing in France. Sol Satinsky of Philadelphia, who was re-elected chairman of the JDC National Council, re- ported on the growing knowl- edge and understanding of the needs of Jews overseas in American communities as a result of the agency's Commun- ity Information Program. Edwin Rosenberg of New York was elected Comptroller. He suc- ceeds Alexander A. Landesco, who died earlier this year. Emperor of Iran Receives Chief of Israelite Alliance The Emperor of Iran recently received Admiral Louis Kahn, deputy president of the Alliance Israelite Universelle, who was on a visit to Iran. Well informed on the work of the schools of the Alliance in Iran, the Shah told Admiral Kahn that he wishes to encour- age the leaders of the Alliance to continue and expand the work of the organization for the good of the Iranian Jewish community, which, he added, has enjoyed conditions of peaceful life in Persia-Iran since the times of King Cyrus the Great. Admiral Kahn also visited sev- eral provincial towns of the country where the schools of the Alliance are operating. There are now about. 6,000 stu- dents in the schools of the Alli- ance in Iran. The first Alliance school in the c o u n t r y was founded in 1898. TO THE 1,185,000 FAMILIES SERVED BY ETROIT EDISON What can you buy for pennies today? Electric energy is one thing—the cleanest, most versatile form of useful energy. One great advantage is its adaptability. Electric energy is used for lighting, cooking and communication; for heating, cooling and to run com- puters. It powers motors small enough to run wristwatches, and motors large enough to operate the presses that form auto bodies. Detroit Edison provides electric energy for pennies per kilowatthour. And the more you use, the lower the unit cost becomes. Below, expressed in pennies, are estimated costs of operation of the more commonly used electric appliances. Constant research, alert management and the dedication of our em- ployes have enabled us to reduce the unit cost of electric energy. For example, when I first became a part of the electric industry in 1922, it took nearly two pounds of coal to generate one kilowatthour of energy. Over the intervening years I've seen technological developments reduce this figure to 1.7 pounds- 1.5 pounds-1.25 pounds and then a pound. Today, the most efficient of our turbine generators produce a kilowatthour of electric energy from three-fourths pound of coal. Detroit Edison has pioneered in many of the engineering improvements which have led to these and other economies. As a result, the company has not increased its rates for electric service since 1949. Equally important, most of our customers use more electric energy now than they did then, so the average cost per kilowatthour is 14 per cent less than it was in 1949. This is one reason why it's good economy to live electrically. Detroit Edison services, including free or minimum cost electric appliance repairs, are additional reasons. Backing up these services are all the efficient facilities and friendly people that are the company. Sincerely, ...7 a..erze-o- WALKER L.
