Emphasis is placed on educa- tion, and priority alSo is given to health and welfare causes, the needs of the aged and hospitaliza- tion. The United Hebrew Schools. and its allied school systems, and na- tional cultural movements are in- cluded in the drive. The major beneficiary in the campaign is the United Jewish Appeal.

Jewry Has Been Authorized by Welfare Federations Wide Variety ©f Services Rendered Overseas with Allied Drive Funds Wherever there are Jews who need assistance, the Joint Distribution Committee is on hand to be of help. Whether it is in Morocco, in Italy, in Iran or in Israel, JDC is ready with means to uplift the downtrodden and the dispossessed. With funds pro- vided by the United Jewish Appeal—major beneficiary of Detroit's Allied Jewish Campaign—Jewish children are educated, and homeless and hungry are domiciled and fed. The top photo shows children in a Morocco nursery showing pride in their Jewish studies. The second photo takes us to a Jewish school in Italy where JDC bene- fited more than 6,800 needy Jews in 1964. The third photo shows Jewish children in a JDC-financed school reciting the blessing before lunch. The bottom photo takes us to Israel, portraying a school where the teacher also is a cerebral palsy victim. There are five children in the fourth grade of the special school sponsored by Shatlem, a parents' organization in Israel devoted to care of children suffering from cerebral palsy. Despite their handicap, teacher and pupils find great satisfaction in advancing their educa- tion. Such, collectively, is part of the work financed by the Allied Jewish Campaign—supplementary to the 50 other causes aided by the Detroit drive. NEW YORK (JTA)—The Coun- cil of Jewish Federations and Wel- fare Funds, at a meeting of its board of directors, approved a report of its Special Committee on Population Studies recommending the first comprehensive national study of American Jewry. The CJFWF board directed that steps be taken to implement a study design prepared by social scientists over a two-year period. Pertinent local and region al studies will be included in the project. It was agreed that this national study can be "an historic step in filling a wide gap in Ameri- can-Jewish life and in providing information essential for sound planning." The report to the board was made by Dr. Max W. Bay of Los Angeles, a Council vice-president, who is chairman of the board's committee on the national founda- tion project. He was joined in the THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS 48—Friday, April 2, 1965 report by Dr. Fred Massarik, chair- man of the Council's Technical Committee on Population Studies. The CJFWF board also voted for affiliation with the new non- secretarian Citizens Crusade Against Poverty, which is a broad national citizens' group, under the chairmanship of Wal- ter P. Reuther, president of the United Automobile Workers of America. The group was estab- lished to mobilize widespread and intensive support by devel- oping "non-partisan programs of education and activity designed to eliminate poverty from the life of this nation." It includes leaders of c h u r c h, industry, labor, civil rights, welfare, farm- ers, civic women, veterans, stu- dents and other groups. Philip Bernstein, executive di- rector of the CJFWF, reported that American Jews are committed to a poverty struggle which re- quires total community planning. To that end, he informed the board of a series rof -inter-faith con- sultations, involving leaders America's three major religious groups, which was organized two years ago and now meets four times a year "to look at common problems." Herbert H. Schiff of Columbus, Qhio, chairman of the Council's Campaign Services Committee, re- ported that several Federation campaigns across the country were now running 15 to 20 per cent ahead of 1964. But he cautioned community leaders to make sure that later gifts continue the pace set by leadership contributions, which are recognized as "the best gifts." In urging special efforts to maintain and accelerate com- munity campaigns, Schiff was joined by Max M. Fisher of De- troit, a member of the CJFWF board and general chairman of the United Jewish Appeal. Board members applauded the report that Boni Brith and its Anti- Defamation League have rejoined the National Community Relations Advisory Council.
