Jewish Appeal, at the annual con-

charting campaign plans to raise
$73,420,000 in 1966 to aid 816,000
Jews in need in 30 countries, in-
cluding immigrants in Israel and
in other free countries where re-
fugees have found haven.

In his acceptance address,
Fisher said that since the
founding of the Appeal in 1939,
American Jews have raised $1,-
618,000,000 for the programs of
the UJA. "Our most significant
accomplishment," he note d,
"was the resettling of 1,736,000
Jews from lands of despair to
lands of freedom, with 1,373,000
of that total given haven in Is-
rael."

He said the principal tasks con-
fronting the UJA for 1966 were:
1. A stepped-up program to help
Israel absorb 200,000 disadvan-
taged immigrants from North Afri-
can and Asian countries settled in
21 new development towns estab-
lished throughout Israel;
2. Large-scale aid to transport
and settle an anticipated 55,000
Jewish immigrants from distressed
areas of Europe, North Africa and
Asia, in Israel and other lands of
the free world;
3. Increased aid for some 400,-
040 Jews in dire need in various
Moslem countries and in Europe.
Terming the UJA's 1966 goal of
$73,420,000 as "seemingly enorm-
ous but, in light of the needs, still
inadequate," Fisher told the dele-
gates: "Let us use the goal as a
stimulus toward a minimal target.
For the global needs we have dis-
cussed here must remind us that,
even if we reach the goal, there
will still be a tremendous distance
to cover in performing all the life-
