approximately one-half of the di-
vision's prospects solicited.

cent of the division's 1967 total.

orge M. Zeltzer, chairman of
real estate division, who re-
cently returned from the Economic
Development Conference in Israel
attended by businessmen of the
world, said that "world Jewry
has an opportunity to develop with
Israel a social welfare program
which will provide guidelines for
the world."
"Our investment there (Israel)
is small up to this point. We
now have an opportunity to
make it larger," Zeltzer said.
"Before the war Israel was a
`tiny, infant country', but fol-
lowing the Six-Day War it has
graduated to a maturing nation."-
He pointed out that every dollar
given to support the social welfare
program would allow Israel to
divert its funds to defense and
economic development.

in calling for reports from division
chairmen, stressed the rapidly ap-
proaching May 8 victory dinner

them during the coming week.

`Emergency Parents' Will Aid Abandoned Tots
PHILADELPHIA (JTA) — The
Jewish Family Service is joining
with the Philadelphia Department
of Public Welfare, in an "emer-
gency palent" experimental pro-
gram for which the Philadelphia
Foundation has provided a grant
of $10,000.
Benjamin Sprafkin, executive di-
rector of the JFS, said that the
project was a new experiment in
service for temporarily abandoned
children in their own homes in-
volving a public and voluntary
agency.
Public Welfare Commissioner
Randolph Wise said that when chil-
dren are found left abandoned by
parents in. their homes because of
family crises, the procedure is to
place them on an emergency basis,
usually in crowded shelters or
foster homes. He said experience
indicated that the parents usually
return in a few days and that
therefore it was considered de-
sirable to place a trained "emer-

for the new election, and their
names will automatically appear
on the ballot."
Under direction of the Crown
Heights JCC, Jewish candidates
were nominated in the various
election districts to be represented
on the proposed planning com-
mittee. Crown Heights has 225,000
residents of whom a majority of
125,000 are. Jews. Of these a
substantial number are in income
categories defined as "poor" by the
CDA. Twelve Jewish candidates
for 24 posts on the planning coun-
cil were elected in the undisputed
part of the balloting on Oct. 30.
Dr. Wolf said that the turnout of
Jewish voters for the election had
been "phenomenal" and that so
many came to vote that not all of
them could be admitted at the two
schools where voting was undisturb-
ed. He called the turnout a "vote
of confidence" in the future of
Crown Heights for Jewish resi-
dents who, in recent years, have
been moving out because of area
deterioration but who are now
beginning to return as a result of
the JCC's successful effort at ob-
taining better police protection and
in other steps to stabilize the area.

with the children until a social
worker could evaluate the specific
problem.
He added that the "emer-
gency parent" would stay in the
home and be in charge of the chil-
dren until either the parents were
found or a more specific plan was
made for the abandoned children.

DELIVERY
Challenge to An ti-Poverty Vote
on Intimidation Charge Upheld
NEW YORK (JTA) — A chal-
lenge by the Crown Heights Jewish
Community Council against an elec-
tion for local anti-poverty mach-
inery, in which the JCC charged
intimidation and harassment of
Jewish, voters, has been upheld by
the city's Community Development
Acency, which has ordered a new
election, it was learned this week.
Dr. A.I. Wolf, Crown Heights
JCC chairman, hailed the ruling as
a reaffirmation of the democratic
process and as opening the way
for efforts to bring about a com-
munity anti-poverty organization
which would represent fairly and
efficiently the interests of all ethnic
groups in the area. He pledged the
full support of the Crown Heights
JCC for such an effort.
In its challenge, the JCC had
charged that Negroes from out-
side the Brooklyn area had
formed a human chain to bar
voters at P.S. 289, one of the
three schools in the area where
the election was held last Oct.
30. The J C C complaint also
charged that threats to life and
property had been voiced against
the white would-be voters.
The election was arranged to
choose memberS of a planning
council to organize a community
corporation to represent Crown
Heights residents in seeking funds
for anti-poverty projects in the
section, one of the city's 24 desig-
nated poverty areas which still has
no community-wide structure to
seek such funds. The successful
challenge was believed to be the
first in the history of NeW York
City elections in the anti-poverty
program.
The ruling was handed down by
George Nicolau, commissioner of
the Community Development
Agency, a unit in the city's Human
Resources Administration, t h e
central agency for all city anti-
poverty programs.
In the ruling, dated April 3,
Nicolau declared that the JCC
challenge, "charging intimidation
and coercion of eligible voters and
use of religious and racial epithets,
is upheld. Investigation has shown
that non-residents of Crown Heights
did indeed act in such a manner as
to interfere with a democratic
election, denying eligible voters
the right to express a free choice."
He ordered a new election, "at
a time and place to be determin-
ed," and ruled that all candidates
nominated on the night of Oct.
30 in the affected election, "will
be considered to be nominated
