and hostility (and leading to) boundless corruption, extortion and
oppression."

munity, testified at the Adolf Eichmann trial that Hungary's wartime

face the consequences. American and British bombers struck Budapest.

tribution by the fellowship of 50
national Bible societies reached
a total of 173,478,568 Scriptures

Bible Society made possible the

tures in the United States and else-
where during 1970. More copies
of Scriptures were distributed in
the United States last year than
anywhere else in the world.

UJA Drive Is Breaking All Records—Dultzin
. NEW YORK (ZINS) — This
year's United Jewish Appeal drive
will raise in excess of $250,000,000
—an amount even larger than was
raised during the Six-Day War—
it was reported here by Leon
Dultzin, treasurer of the Jewish
Agency, who was in the U.S. for
a two-week tour.
Dultzin also visited Australia
and Mexico, where he spoke on
the occasion of Israel Indeperd-
ence Day celebrations, and where
he declared that the unprecedent-
ed ,campaign results are critically
important for the Jewish state to
help cover the staggering cost of
a' growing immigration to Israel.
He revealed that in April
alone, 1,500 new arrivals came
from the Soviet Union—the larg-
est number of Soviet Jews ever
to arrive in any single month in
Israel's 23-year history.
The total immigration of Soviet
Jews in 1969 was 3,020. In 1970
For the current year, 1971, there
were 180 new olim from behind
the Iron Curtain during January
and February; 660-in March; and
now 1,500 in April.

This immigration from the
USSR, coupled with the tens of
thousands of tourists who visited
Israel in April for the Passover
season, made that month one of
the happiest in the history of the
state, said Dultzin.
