The Emergency Fund Chairman "The essential response to the Israel Emergency Fund has been hearty and exciting. Its dimensions are the biggest in the noble humanitarian traditions of American Jewry.

Zuckerman appealed for volunteer workers to call those who have not yet given—those who are waiting to be contacted to share in the important obligation." The meeting ,was one held simultaneously with 123 other communities and the attendees were addressed over the long distance phone by Max M. Fisher. national United Jewish Appeal chairman, who expressed the hope that the emergency fund will conclude on July 4 with an outpouring of aid that will make the month's campaign "the most historic in Jewish history." Fisher left for Israel Wednesday. Messages also were received at the meeting from Mrs. Harry Jones, national UJA women's division chairman, and her associates in a survey mission to Israel She made a strong plea for extra gifts by the women. Zuckerman announced that 40 extra telephones were in- stalled at the Federation for use by volunteer workers who are asked to provide their assistance at once. Mud-slinging by the combined Soviet and Arab forces at the United Nations General Assembly and Israel's defensive efforts, with the aid of the liberal forces, fortified by the United States, Denmark and other democratic nations, marked the debate at the historic session of the assembly which is expected to remain in Session for at least two weeks. While the debates continued to create bitterness, Israel's Foreign Minister Abba Eban constantly being compelled to refute falsifications uttered by the Arab and Communist spokesmen, Israel has proceeded to provide help for refugees, to cooperate with the Red Cross and the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestinian Refugees, and to clean up the debris in the Old City of Jerusalem. At the same time, Israel reiterates its offer for immediate direct negotiations with "any and each" of the Arab states and to strive for a lasting peace. Abba Eban, Israel's spokesman at the UN. gave assurance that he saw prospects for an immediate solution of the refugee problem through direct peace negotiations with the Arab states. The lifting of the ban on travel to Israel by the U. S. State Department w as among the heartening news, giving assurance that the many thousands of American volunteers for civilian services in the Jewish State now will be able to join the many thousands of Christians and Jews from many lands in aiding Israel's affected economy. Russia, however, has offered new military aid to Egypt without charge—which means that Egypt will not have to send its cotton to the USSR in exchange for weapons.
