Morris Pelavin; Sol Schafer, chairman; Simon Indi- aner, associate chairman; and William Bailies, honorary chairman; and seated: Mesdames Levi Eshkol, speaker; Charles Dodge, chair- man; Leon Rosky, chairman; and Robert Gutterman, associate chairman. Chairmen of the men's and wom- en's divisions of the Flint United Jekvish Appeal Campaign feel a significant "charge to the cam- paign atmosphere" as a result of Mrs. Levi Eshkol's appearance at the annual campaign dinner March 28, and the women's division lunch- eon March 29. Associate chairman Dr. Jack Stanzler stated at the men's din- ner, "The people of Israel are the most heavily taxed people in the world, and are faced with the enormous cost of defending them- selves against enemies bent on annihilating them. Because their costs are so high, the Israelis have little money left to continue to help us maintain essential humanitar- ian programs. Therefore, we must give as we have never given be- fore. We must meet our full re- sponsibility for the programs estab- lished by the UJA in Israel, or these programs will simply cease to exist." Mrs. Eshkol outlined the cur- rent conditions in Israel and asked that Flint Jewry under- stand and accept the challenge presented to them. At the conclusion of Mrs. Esh- kol's remarks at the women's divi- sion luncheon, Mrs. Sol Schafer stated that "some women mistak- enly believe that because their husbands give, there is little that they as women can do. There is a place for women here. They are desperately needed, not only for the money they can give, but also for their time and efforts. In our past campaigns, the women of this community have done a splendid job in rallying support for UJA. We hope that this 1971 campaign will engender even greater response."

The purpose of this message is to deny recent reports—false reports—al- leging that Mobil is involved in a world- wide boycott of Jewish products. These reports deeply trouble Mobil employees, dealers, shareholders, business associates, customers, and suppliers. We are taking this opportu- nity to make it clear that such allega- tions are erroneous. Here are the facts: Last year. a London-based marine subsidiary of our company that handles the provisioning of part of our foreign- flag fleet sent a letter to ships' sup- pliers. Several of our vessels had been fined for carrying, as ships' stores, products that could not be imported under the laws of one of the countries where these ships call. So the sup- pliers were asked to help our ships operate within the law. However, the letter, which was writ- ten by an employee who was far below the policy-making level, inadvertently violated Mobil's completely open pur- chasing policy. The intent of the letter was widely misinterpreted, leading the press to mistakenly report that Mobil was engaged in a worldwide boycott of Jewish products. This, understandably, gave rise to a number of protests. As soon as our management in New York learned of the letter, we took steps to rectify the situation. As a result, we withdrew all prior instructions to sup- pliers. We informed them that our pur- chasing policy provides, as it always did, that quality, availability, and price are the only criteria for the provision- ing of any of our ships. We notified 24 major American-Jew- ish organizations of our action through a letter from a member of our manage- ment to a representative of the Presi- dents Conference of those organiza- tions. We have tried in other ways to cor- rect the misstatement of our position. We have held meetings with represen- tatives of leading Jewish organizations. 'We have called on newspaper editors. VVe are writing and speaking to every- one who has expressed his concern to us. • We at Mobil sincerely regret the mis- understanding caused by the letter from London. We repeat: There is no Mobil boy- cott. There never was. Mobil Oil Corporation
