COMMUNAL PRIORITIES: With the situation in Israel being what it is now, the Jewish communities throughout the United States are making it their top proiority to conduct intensive cash collection of 1970 pledges to the United Jewish Appeal. Leaders of Jewish Federations estimate that the community fund- raising campaigns will this year produce a total of $300,000,000. Of this sum, $125,000,000 is marked for the Israel Emergency Fund and $175,000,000 for the regular campaigns, of which the UJA gets about 50 per tent. This compares with $103,000,000 raised last year for the Israel Emergency drive and $163,000,000 for the regular UJA campaign. In other words—the communities in 1970 will raise $34,000,000 more than in 1969. They will come close to the $319,000,000 raised in the peak year of 1967, which was the year of the Six-Day War. The ability of this year's campaign to reach this total—in the current economic situation—is considered a noteworthy tribute to the depth of understanding the extraordinary urgency of Israel's needs. About 50 communities have already raised this year more than they raised even in 1967. There will be more before the 1970 campaign is over. There are now 50 communities, each conducting a campaign of $1,000,000 or more. Exclusive of New York, seven cities expect to raise $90,000,000; four cities will raise $26,000,000; nine cities will raise $34,000,000; and 29 will have a total of $38,000,000. Among the communi- ties which have this year already surpassed their historic 1967 all-time highs in their campaigns are Cleveland, Detroit, Miami, Essex County, N.J., Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, St. Louis, Washington, D.C., Atlanta, Atlantic City, Camden, Hartford, Milwaukee, Omaha, Youngstown and others.
