$1,607,074 Is Allocated;
$569,813 for Education
Includes Day Schools
Local Jewish community agencies will receive alloca-
tions of $1,607,074 for 1967-68, it was decided Monday
at a meeting of the board of governors of the Jewish
Welfare Federation.
These allocations are based on a pre-campaign budget
formula of $1,681,944 set up prior to the 1967 Allied
Jewish Campaign. Hyman Safran, president of Federa-
tion, said that some agency budgets were not final be-
cause they were still developing programs for which
there would be a financial need.
Safran also pointed out that approved allocations foi
1966-67 were $1,636,000, which is $29,000 more than the
1967-68 funding, but that increased government partici-
pation, increased income and additional funds from other
sources reduced agency requests for future operations.
United Hebrew Schools, Midrasha, Beal Yehudah
Afternoon School, Combined Jewish Schools and Hayini
Greenberg School received allocations totalling $569,813,
as recommended by the Federation's education division
headed by Mandell L. Berman.
The allocation for Jewish education includes $28,710
to provide for 20 hours per week of Jewish studies in.
struction at the 7th, 8th or 9th grade level in Beth
Yehudah, Hillel Day School and Akiva Day School.
Health and welfare agencies will receive $692,200
which is 44 per cent of local allocations. Dr. Peter G.
Shifrin, chairman of the health and welfare division, said
that this amount will enable some agencies to develop
programs and others to continue at the same level of
service as in the past year.
Little change was made in the budget requests of
the Fresh Aair Society, Hebrew Free Loan, Jewish Com-
munity Center, House of Shelter and Tamarack Hills
Authority.
Marked increase in admissions to Borman Hall of
the Jewish Home for Aged and increased Medicare funds
from the government have allowed the agency to operate
within its income thereby reducing its request from
Federation.
Changes in a slightly smaller allocation to the Jew-
ish Vocational Service-Community Workshop have re-
sulted from increased government funds and anticipation
of funding from the United Foundation through United
Community Services.
The Jewish Family and Children's Service, the Jew-
ish Community Center, Fresh Air Society and the Shiff-
man Clinic also receive financial support from United
Community Services.
The community relations division under the chair-
manship of Stanley J. Winkelman. has been allocated
$118,592 for the coming year. This figure reflects an
increase in staff salaries of the Jewish community Coun-
cil and an increase to $4,868 for Project Equality in-
cluded in the budget for a full year for the first time.
The project is the co-operative program among the
Catholic, Protestant, Eastern Orthodox and Jewish com-
munities on the practical problems of non-discrimination
practices by suppliers who deal with participating or-
ganizations.
The division called attention to the excellent per-
formance of the Council in mobolizing the community
at the onset of the overseas crisis in mid-May and
organizing a city-wide rally on the eve of hostilities in
Israel.
Safran pointed out that the total budget of the
schools, including fees and support from other sources,
was $1;050,000 and that the operating budgets of the
health and welfare agencies, including support from Torch
Drive funds, government participation and fees, was
$5,298,000, exclusive of Sinai HospitaL
UNITED NATIONS—Efforts by Pakistan and its president, Field Marshal Mohammad Ayub
Khan, to pressure Iran and Turkey to break diplomatic relations with Israel were in vain as a
result of the summit meeting held in Teheran with the Shah of Iran and the prime minister of
Turkey, according to Western diplomats at the UN. The joint communique which was issued Wed-
nesday at the UN by the mission of Iran expresses only "deep concern" at the aggravations of ten-
sion in the Middle East and the continuance of threats to peace and stability in the area.
The heads of states and government reiterated "their sympathy" for the victims of the recent
conflict and emphasized "the urgency of rendering maximum humanitarian assistance to them."
They also declared that "acquisition of territory by the use of force is contrary to the provisions of
the UN Charter." They reaffirmed in their communique that the withdrawal of Israel forces from
Arab territory is essential to the establishment "of a just and lasting peace in the Middle East."
