tional needs and for welfare in
the Detroit Jewish community and
' that additional funds were for sup-

are being helped by health and

Humphrey then declared em-
phatically that Israel is not at

- it is an Arab belligerency against
Israel that is causing the Mid-
dle East conflict. He declared
himself in favor of ending the
arms race, but he differentiated

large gathering that he opposed

Thus, in his major address,
speaking in complimentary terms
of the Arabs as a great people,
he deplored the attacks on Israel
and expressed hope for a nego-
tiated peace, with confidence that
the mission of Dr. Gunnar Jarring
"has some promise."
Wednesday's meeting. described
as "unique in many ways" by
Jospey, had its interesting aspects,
especially the introduction of the
guest speaker by Max M. Fisher,
now the special Jewish adviser
to President Nixon.
As on a previous occasion,
before tthe last election, Fisher
and Humphrey punned, in good
humor, each suggesting to the
other that they keep busy in
other spheres than politics since
they were in opposite parties.
Humphrey also recalled the ear-
"The important responsibility
now is to show that you care,"
he stated. "Israel needs to know
that you care. There is no better
way of being a good citizen. By
the humanitarian labors and
philanthropic endeavors, Ameri-
can Jewry sets an example for
the entire world and I salute you
for it."
Reports on the progress made in
the various campaign divisions
were made under the direction of
Richard Sloan and Paul Broder in
behalf of the division chairmen
and the report for the new heights
reached in campaigning by the
women was made in behalf of . Mrs.
Max Stollman, women's division
chairman.
The invocation at the opening of
the meeting was by Rabbi Milton
Rosenbaum of Temple Emanu-El,
and the host temple's president,
Dr. Conrad Goode, was among the
personalities at the meeting intro-
duced to the gathering. The cam-
paign leaders were introduced by
Jospey.
