Israel Emergency Fund, UJA Gifts Reach
$6,800,000 Total Remitted From Detroit

Additional payments of $300,000
this week brought to $6,800,000 the
total cash forwarded to the United
Jewish Appeal for the Israel Emer-
gency Fund and Allied Jewish
Campaign since the onset of the
Israel emergency at the end of
May.
Paul Zuckerman, chairman of
the Detroit Israel Emergency Fund,
pointed out that this brings the
cash remitted in behalf of the
Emergency Fund to $4,000,000 on
a current total of $6,100,000
pledged. The balance of the cash
remitted is from payments on
pledges to the Allied Jewish Cam-
paign.
At a Jewish Welfare Federa-
tion board meeting, Erwin S.
Simon, treasurer, reported that
accelerated payments on Allied
Jewish Campaign pledges on all
previous years were running
$2,500,000 ahead of 1966.
The response to the critical situa-

tion in the Middle East has brought
an inspired cash response on
pledges to both the regular cam-
paign and the Israel Emergency
Fund.
Beyond this, pledges continue
to be made to the Emergency Fund
in large numbers and at all levels.
There are numerous examples
which characterize the spirit of
the Campaign. Last week, Mr. and
Mrs. Jack J. Wainger offered their
daughter and son-in-law, Mr. and
Mrs. Raymond X. Zweig, a special

anniversary gift of a car. The
Zweigs asked that the gift be made
instead to the Israel Emergency
Fund. The Waingers sent an ad-
ditional contribution of $6,000 be-
yond their already generous con-
tribution to the Fund made the
first week of the campaign.
Two sponsors of a bachelor party
offered the groom $300 as part of
a wedding gift and were directed
to send the check to the Emergency
Fund.
Gifts of this kind were numerous
throughout the period of the cam-
paign. Father's Day brought a flow
of gifts, characteristic of which
was one of $100 from Mrs. Annette
S. Ran, in honor of Phillip Stoll-

$1,500 of Israel Bonds and he con-
tributes weekly $25 to the Israel
Emergency Fund.
'There is genuine commitment
and identification," Louis Levitan,
manager of the Israel Bond office,
said. "His giving and investments
are truly sacrificial."

Students at Technion Launch a Small Rocket

HAIFA — Student extra-curricu-
lar project came to a successful
conclusion when Technion students
fired a single stage rocket which
they had built.
The rocket, which was propelled
by a solid propellent, lifted a pay-
load of nine pounds to an altitude
of about three miles. It was over
three feet long and four and a half
inches in diameter and weighed 30
pounds. The rocket motor had a
thrust of 66,139 lbs. which en-
abled it to develop a speed of
456 yards per second.
The payload of the rocket con-
sisted of smoke bombs which went
off during the flight for easy vis-
ual tracking of the rocket's flight.
The technical supervisor for the
project was Ing. Efraim Michaeli,
who received his MS degree in
mechanical engineering at the

An enthusiastic Beth El gath-
ering was greeted by Harold
Black, Mayor Cavanagh's repre-
sentative, and George Zeltzer,
president of the United Hebrew
Schools and a leader in the
Allied Jewish Campaign.
Bishop Anderson expressed re-
gret that the tense situation that
was developing in the city at the

time of the concert stood as an
obstacle for what he had hoped
would be a capacity audience. He
expressed hope for a speedy peace
here and elsewhere.

sailors seized by the Arabs. Jeffer-

to patrol the waters and put an

end to the piracy. Most of the
nations gave their presents. Adams
thought that this policy was per-

had.

In 1785 two years before the

American vessels were seized by
the Algerians with their crew of
twenty-one sailors. A ransom of
$2,800 for each was paid, the

In 1793, the Algerians seized ten
American vessels and they were

dollars, a tremendous sum in those
days.
