GB ... October 13, 1972 — DETROIT JEWISH NEWS 1972 ALLIED JEWISH CAMPAIGN-ISRAEL EMERGENCY FUND PLEDGES TOTALLING $14,171,000 SHOW COMMUNITY GENEROSITY, RESPONSIBILITY 1972 Campaign Chairman SAMUEL FRANKEL OFFICERS Paul M. Handleman Richard Sloan Co-Chairmen William M. Davidson Milton J. Miller Associate Chairmen David Handleman Arthur Howard Edward C. Levy David S. Mondry Abe Shiffman A. Alfred Taubman Vice-Chairmen PRE-CAMPAIGN Daniel M. Honigman Irving Seligman Chairmen Paul Borman Avern L. Cohn Merle Harris George M. Zeltzer Vice-Chairmen Louis Hamburger Samuel Hamburger Americans this year were facing economic uncertainty and pressures as evidenced by government price and wage controls. Around the world, Jews in the thousands were struggling for dignity, even survival. Israel found herself urgently in need of more support for educational and social programs as the wel- come tide of immigration of Soviet Jews swelled. The majority of Israel's own tax income was necessarily earmarked for de- fense and security purposes, as had been true for a number of years. "Keep the Promise", the UJA slogan in use for the 1972 Allied Jewish Campaign-Israel Emergency Fund, reminded all that Jews throughout history had responded to the appeals of their brothers, even at times when their own communities were in need for increased and improved human services. In response to all these needs, the men in attendance at the first pre-campaign meeting for the 1972 AJC-IEF pledged nearly $1,000,000 more than contributed at the corresponding meeting a year before. That set the pace for the entire campaign, led this year by Samuel Frankel, a remarkable chairman. Reflecting the priorities determined al the annual pre-cam- paign conference, speakers, clarifying the urgency of need spoke at numerous campaign affairs. Chairman Louis A. Pincus of the Jewish Agency for Israel brought the plight of overseas Jews into sharp perspective. Foreign Minister Abba Eban appeared shortly after his policy-setting statement at the United Nations. Israel Ambassador to the United States Yitzhak Rabin brought first-hand knowledge of the situation faced by Israel in diplo- - matic circles. A young Russian scientist, recently an immigrant to Israel, appeared at a report meeting and made the plight of immigrants a vivid experience for those listening to his story. Again, as is the tradition of Detroit's Jewish community, the the response was overwhelming. The result of countless meetings at which campaign organiza- tion problems were resolved and of thousands of hours spent by volunteer workers during which they solicited pledges, was that more than $14 million was pledged to the 1972 campaign. With their response, thousands of Detroit Jews showed once more that the brc.therhood of Jewry is indeed a viable force. Our community's internationally recognized reputation for gener- osity and responsibility had again been loudly proclaimed!
