Cash Mobilization Drive Started by UJA
The United Jewish Appeal is
starting an immediate, intensive
campaign to convert pledges into
cash, announced Edward Ginsberg
of Cleveland, UJA general chair-
man. The cash drive will culmin-
ate in a national Cash Mobiliza-
tion Conference, June 7-8, in New
York City, he said. Detroit's Al-
lied Jewish Campaign provides
funds for the UJA as its major
beneficiary.
"Jewish communities throughout
the country are pledging far
greater amounts than last year for
UJA's Israel Emergency Fund and
for their regular campaigns. How-
ever, the mounting needs for
immigration, health, education and
other humanitarian services in
Israel and in 30 other countries
is so urgent that immediate cash
is necessary," Ginsberg stated.
The UJA general chairman
pointed out the most serious
economic situation in Israel. "The
cost of defense in a continuing
war of attrition is draining the
country," he said.
"The people of Israel are taxing
themselves to the utmost to sur-
vive, yet more than 60,000 new

"Jews in Israel and throughout)
the world cannot live on credit or,
promises. The help, they receive '
through the United Jewish Appeal
is vital. They cannot wait," Gins-
berg stated.
The United Jewish Appeal is the
major Jewish fund-raising organi-
zation in the United States. Since
its inception in 1939, the UJA has
received more than 62,000,000,000
for humanitarian aid to needy
Jews overseas, and for the trans-
portation and settlement of Jewish
immigrants going to Israel and
other free lands.
It supports the United Israel
Appeal, Inc., which, in turn, funds
the Jewish Agency's programs for
resettlement and absorption of
Jewish immigrants in Israel; the
Joint Distribution Committee, the
major American agency aiding
needy Jews overseas; the United
Hias Service, which provides for
transportation of oppressed Jews
and for their resettlement in free
nations other than Israel; and the
New York Association of New
Americans, which assists Jewish
refugees in the United States.
Israel's Population
JERUSALEM (ZINS)—Accord-
ing to figures released by Israel's
Central Statistical Bureau, the
2,435,000 Jews now living in Israel
represent 17.5 per cent of world
Jewry. The other major concentra-
tions of Jewish population through-
out the world are the United States
of America (5,864,000) and the
Soviet Union (2,594,000).
