Flint Joins UJA's 4th Emergency Fund Drivel Lansing Dateline'
Murray Moss, associate chair-
man of the 1970 Flint United Jew-
ish Appeal Campaign, announced
that Flint will participate in the
United Jewish Appeal's fourth na-:
tionwide Emergency Fund drive
to help meet the humanitarian
needs of the people of Israel.
"Our goal for 1970 is to raise
even more than we raised for the
first Emergency Fund in 1967, im-
mediately after the Six-Day War,"
declared Moss.
"The Israelis are the most
heavily taxed people in the world.
They must pay the full cost of
defending themselves against ene-
mies bent on annihilating them,"
Moss said. "Therefore, we must
give as we have never given be-
fore. We must assume a greater
share of the humanitarian pro-
grams established by the UJA in
Israel, which the Israelis can no
longer help to support because of
their defense costs."
Dr. Ira :Warder, chairman of
the pacesetters division, noted
that uppermost among these pro -
grams is the rehabilitation and
absorption of nearly 40,000 more
expected in 1970.

said, "A country without these
services cannot hope to be emo-
tionally strong enough to defend
itself. Furthermore, nothing can
be done in 1970 to ease a situation
in which 123,000 Israeli families,
or one out of five, are living in
substandard housing. The freeze
on welfare payments at the pres-
ent level will be a hardship to the
116,000 families in Israel, or one
out of six, living below the poverty
line, which is defined as less than
$115 per family per month."

Resign's, Charges
`Interference'
NEW YORK (JTA)—An official
of the American Jewish Congress
confirmed the resignation of Rabbi
Steven Schwarzschild as editor of
the organization's intellectual pub-
lication, "Judaism," but denied
the rabbi's charge that he had
been forced out.
Rabbi Schwarzschild, editor sin"e
1962, said he had resigned because
of-"constant interference" with his
"editorial freedom." Dr. Robert
Gordis, noted biblical scholar, has
been named to replace him. He is
a founder and first board chair-
man of the quarterly publication.
Rabbi Schwarzschild said that
the issue which led to his deci-
sion to quit was a debate over
publication of an article attack.
ing the Jewish "establishment."
The article, "Jewish New Left-
ism at Berkeley," was written
by Michael P. Lerner, assistant
professor of philosophy at Wash-

Prof. Lerner wrote that before
Jewish youth could be "effectively
reached" by a message from Jew-
ish radicals, the present-day syna-
gogue "will have to be smashed."

gogue (Conservative congregation-

`Wage Creep' Plan
to Fight Price Hike
JERUSALEM, (JTA) — Finance
Minister Pinhas Sapir came up
with a new wage proposal he hopes
will give workers sufficient added
income to met price increases
without setting off a new infla-
tionary spiral.
Sapir's plan was presented at
a joint cabinet-Histadrut meeting.
It will be studied by a subcommit-
tee headed by Israel Kargman,
chairman of the Knesset finance
committee and Yehuram Meshel,
deputy secretary general of His-
tadrut, Israel's labor federation.
The plan calls for a 5.35 per
day increase in minimum wage.
Families earning less than S140
per month would receive an al-
lowance of $1.75 per month per
child, independent of the current
large family grants administered
by the National Insurance Insti-
tute. The Sapir "wage creep"
plan as it has been called, should
provide up to 2 per cent more
income on the average during
the coming year through senior.

and other means.

by 7 per cent for production
workers and 5 per cent for
workers in service industries.
