The other issue was a sugges-
tion by Thant that, if the Assembly
cannot now resolve the financial
dispute between the U.S. and the
USSR. it must at least make provi-
,ions for funds needed by certain
1.'N bodies.
Among such bodies, the secre-
tary-general pointed out, is the
United Nations Relief and Works
Agency for Palestine Refugees.
UNRWA's mandate is due to ex-
pire next June 30, and this year's
Assembly has been scheduled to
debate extension or alteration of
the UNRWA mandate, as well as
a budget for aid to Arab refugees

Thant suggested that if no full

LOS ANGELES (JTA) — Full
support and participation in build-
ing and maintaining a strong Jew-
ish community was pledged at the
annual meeting of the Jewish Fed- ,
eration-Council of Greater Los An-:
geles Sunday at the Beverly Hilton
Hotel.
More than 500 leaders of,,,JF-C's
29 social welfare agencies, 492 af-
filiated member organizations and
United Jewish Welfare Fund cam-
paign volunteers attended the all-
day event.
Isidore Sobeloff, JF-C executive
director, said that the Los Angeles
Jewish community is entering a
new stage of development. with
a growing recognition that a com-
prehensive attack on communal
problems requires "a clear ma-
jority" of the contributor's dollar.
He cited evidence of increasing
acceptance of the thesis that "a
plurality of dollars" is not enough.
Sobeloff stated that the rapid
growth of population resulted in
a proliferation of independent ap-
peals, a limited sense of discipline
and the consequent blunting of
overall community cooperation.
"This free-for-all approach in
dealing with community needs
gradually gave way to the recogni-
tion that the United Jewish Wel-
fare Fund. because of the grand
design of its interests, is entitled
to high priority in a giver's port- ,
folio," he said.
