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.

Most of Israeli ex- ports consist of citrus, bananas, avocados and industrial diamonds. firms. France exported to Israel 400,000,000 francs ($80,000,000) in merchandise in 1964.
