All Records Broken at Opening Allied Campaign
Meeting, With Contributions of $5,700,000
A traditionally generous
community, in a festive
mood on the 25th anniver-
sary date of the United Na-
tions decision for the re-
establishment of the Jewish
state, set a new record for
generosity.
The occasion Wednesday
— exactly 25 years after the
UN partition decision in 1947
— was the unofficial opening
event for the 1973 Allied Jew-
ish Campaign, at the home
of Mr. and Mrs. Paul Randle-
man in Bloomfield Village.
Exceeding all previous rec-
ords for generous giving, the
gathering of some 120 top
givers, responding to an ad-
dress by the guest speaker,
Baron Elle de Rothschild,
and the local campaign lead-
ers, pledged 05,700,000 —
stud far.in excess of the gifts
by the same people last year.
Max M. Fisher, chairman of
the international committee
for the Jewish Agency for
Israel: Randleman and
Frankel.
Anticipating the impres-
sive generosity of the De-
troiters who gathered to
inaugurate the 1973 drive,
Frankel predicted that "to-
morrow we will be the bell-
weather of the entire country
with ■ broad new record of
meeting our responsibilities."
"We enrich our lives with
our labors," Frankel said in
describing the needs of Is-
rael and the American causes
aided by the drive.
He introduced a number of
associates selected for lead-
ership in the 1973 drive —
Paul Zuckerman, Max Fish-
er, William Davidson, Arthur
Howard, Richard Sloan, Paul
Borman, Avern Cohn, Dr.
Leon Fill, David Mondry,
Daniel Honigman, Sol Cotten,
Mickey Loewenthal and Wil-
liam Sher.
With Samuel Frankel and
Paul Randleman as co-chair-
men of the 1973 campaign,
the forthcoming drive thus
has an impressive start and
Zuckerman, who intro-
there is confidence in the
duced Baron Rothschild,
Allied Jewish Campaign spoke of him as "a man of
ranks that last year's gifts achievements in many

Allied Jewish Campaign;
The baron, evidencing a
sense of humor and a knowl-
edge of Jewish affairs, con-
demned the Russian exit
ransom as "most disgust-
ing" and as the Kremlin's
"Macchiavellian idea."
In his appeal for gener-
osity, he admonished the
gathering that "you are not
asked to givy blood, only
money."
He stated that "There
is always the insecurity in
Jewish ranks created by
anti-Semitism," and there-
fore the search for means to
assure security.
Punning, he said, "we al-
ways have to make more,
and to make more we have
to have less. Therefore we
give of our means."
Regarding the situation in
Israel, he warned that "If
anything happens to Israel,
especially if we realize it IS
because we were niggardly,
we'll never be able to sleep
comfortably."
Zuckerman spoke of the
great costs to care for the
incoming wave of new im-
migrants, the 35,000 to come
from Russia alone this year,
the sacrifices made by Israel
to fulfill these obligations.
He told of a new USSR
rule — to demand passports
from youths under 16, there-
by multiplying the costs of
bringing these people out of
Russia to the UJA. He in-
creased his personal pledge
and asked for cooperation in
assuring proper aid for the
great needs In settling emi-
gres to Israel.
Max Fisher reported on
the large Jewish Agency
budget, last year's expendi-
tures of $465,000,000 toward
which it was necessary to
secure a $75,000,000 loan, and
he warned of the handicaps
that keep mounting because
of the great needs.
Referring to the break in
relations with Israel by Chad,
Fisher said that Libyan oil
interests are exerting new
pressures on Arab states and
that Libya is fomenting the
revolution among Arabs. He
urged caution and asked for
preparation to meet all con-
tingencies in assuring pro-
tection for Israel and the
Jewish position in the Middle
East.
Announcing his personal
pledge, Irwin I. Cohn added
the sum of ;10,000 to repay
for costs involved in bring-
ing his wife's uncle, aunt,
their children and grandchil-
dren out of Vilna to Israel
two weeks ago. Mr. and Mrs.
Cohn will be going to Israel
next week to meet that fam-
ily for the first time.
