Support for Jewish Education Doubled, Study Shows
NEW YORK — A seven-
year review of federation
allocations to Jewish educa-
tion in 93 . cities in the
United States and Canada
reveals that allocations
more than doubled by 1973
— up 127 percent to a total
of $16 million. This acceler-
ated, high rate of growth is
featured in 1973 tallies
which also show a 12.7 per-
cent increase over the prior
year.
These findings, based on
the expenditures of large,
intermediate and small size
communities in the period
1966-1973, are among the
-highlights of a special sur-
ey just issued by the Coun-
il of Jewish Federations
and Welfare Funds (CJF),
"Federation Allocations to
Jewish Education." The re-
port also notes that in
American cities, apart from
New York, allocations in the
field made up more than 25
percent of community fund-
ing for all local purposes.
According to the CJF
study data, allocations for
all local purposes during the
period, exclusive of United
Way grants, showed an in-
crease of 81 percent, as con-
trasted with the 127 percent
increase registered for Jew-
ish education.
Five cities were noted as
having allocated in excess
of a million dollars in 1973
for Jewish education.
These, in the large cities
group, are as follows:
Chicago, $1,585,049; Los
Angeles, $1,043,100; New
York, $1,255,755 ; Philadel-
phia, $1,317,125; and To-
ronto, $1,348,763.
A breakdown of the fig-
ures that revealed Jewish
education as a "leader in lo-
cal budgeting" for 1973 was
as follows: In the large cities
category with populations
of 40,000 and over, Jewish
education represented 19.1
percent of the local total; in
intermediate sized cities
with populations between
15-40,000, 30 percent; in
communities from 5-15,000,
26.9 percent; and in commu-
nities with under 5,000 Jew-
ish' population, 25.3 percent.
A majority of the subsidy
funds (51 percent), the re-
port reveals, were spent for
day schools. It is estimated
that nationwide there are
70,000 students currently
enrolled in these facilities;
some 47,000 in the metro-
politan New York area.
. Not included in the seven-
year review of federation
allocations to Jewish educa-
tion were its substantial,
ongoing financial support in
the areas of college youth
programs; Jewish studies in
universities; the Institute
for Jewish Life Training
Fellowships in Jewish Edu-
cation; and Ulpanim-type
courses and curricula at
Jewish community centers.

WASHINGTON (JTA) —
The White House desciibed
last month's breakdown of
Secretary of State Henry A.
Kissinger's mediaiion ef-
forts in the Middle East as a
"suspension" of U.S. initia-
tives in the region and said
"We would do what we
could to help if they (Egypt
and Israel) ask us" to try
again. White House Press
Secretary Ron Nessen made
those remarks after an-
nouncing that President
Ford had conferred with the
U.S. Ambassadors to Israel,
Egypt, Syria and Jordan.
The envoys have been in
Washington for almost
three weeks in connection
with the "reassessment" of
American Middle East pol-
icy ordered by'President
Ford after Kissinger's shut-
tle mission broke down.

NEW YORK — The head
of Reform Judaism's con-
gregational body lauded
Attorney General Levi's
proposed hand gun control
program and stated that
America must eliminate the
"epidemic of gun craziness
which stains American
life."
Rabbi Alexander M.
Schindler, president of the
Union of American Hebrew
Congregations, said, "We
cannot begin' to curb crime
while we indulge a whole-
sale arming of ordinary citi-
zens, including the mentally
defective and juveniles, and
make the obtaining of small
arms almost as easy as pur-
chasing bread at the corner
grocery store. The time fbr
domestic disarmament has
come," he said.
