Samuel Frankel and Paul M. Handleman will lead the 1973 Allied
Jewish Campaign-Israel Emergency Fund as general chairmen, it
was announced by Alan E. Schwartz, president of the Jewish Welfare
Federation.
The joint chairmanship was made known at the annual stag day
of the Detroit Service Group, the year-round organization of the
AJC-IEF, before 250 workers gathered to review the pace - setting
accomplishments of the 1972 campaign and its divisional leaders.
Schwartz said at the meeting, which was held in Knollwood
Country Club:
"No announcement I could make would meet with greater en-
thusiasm from this audience than that the team which has served
this community so well in 1972, will once again be at the helm of
the upcoming campaign. I am sure that every man in this room and
our entire community realizes that Israel will continue to face very
heavy military, economic and political pressure. I am certain that
under our new joint leadership, we will move ahead in 1973 to meet
the new year's challenges and our full responsibility to Jews every-
where."
Frankel, long associated with the building and real estate develop-
ment industry, is president of Frankel Associates, Troy. A former
president of the Jewish Center, he is currently also a member of the
Jewish Welfare Federation, trustee of Sinai Hospital, and director of
United Jewish Charities.
Frankel has held virtually every major position in the annual
Allied Jewish Campaign-Israel Emergency Fund. His former cam-
paign titles read like the organization chart of the AJC-IEF, including
division chairman, precampaign chairman and associate chairman.
This is the second consecutive year he will head the community's
largest fund-raising effort for Jewish services, local and worldwide.
Handleman is chairman of the board and chief executive officer
of the Handleman Company, the largest distributor of phonograph

Extraordinary measures have been ordered in all U.S. post offices to guard against
misuse of the services by resort to bombs in letters or parcels. This is seen as a protection
against recurrence of what had happened in London where the Israeli agricultural at-
tache, Ami Shachori, was murdered in the explosion of a booby-trapped letter mailed
from Amsterdam.
Holding all Arab governments responsible for the terrorists' actions, Israeli officials
warned of retaliation unless there is an end to the shocking resort to murder in many
areas.
A: number of bomb-rigged messages already have been discovered by the New York
post office. One of them was intended for Israeli Ambassador to the UN Yosef Tekoah.
Others were addressed to Jacob Barmore, ambassador to the Israeli mission of theUN:
and Uri Gordon, an Israeli minister. Another such letter was sent to the consul-general
in Montreal, Pinchas Shaanan, but experts detonated the bomb.
Condemnations against the terrorist acts have poured in from all over the world.
