Team Analyses X-Rays Boris Smolar's 'Between You ... and Me' Editor-in-Chief Emeritus, JTA (Copyright 1975, JTA, Inc.) _ PERSONALITY PROFILE: Meet Leonard R. Strelitz. the new general chairman of the National United Jewish Appeal. He is a fourth-generation American. His wife. Joyce. is fifth generation American. They represent assur- ance of Jewish continuity of which so much is being spo- ken in this country. Strelitz is a product of young leadership development 1tarted over two decades ago by the United Jewish Appeal parallel with the Council of Jewish Federations and Wel- fare Funds. He is 53 years old-but looks much younger- and has already established for himself an enviable record in Jewish communal leadership. A resident of Norfolk, Va.. he has been actively participating in local Jewish af- fairs for quite a number of years. On the national scene he served as a UJA national chairman prior to his becoming the general chairman. Like President Carter, he comes from the South. He is the first general chairman of the UJA to come from the South. He brings with him new energy. new plans, determi- nation and vigor. He has formulated a number of "prior- ities" which will serve as guidelines for the UJA during the next two years. U J A INNOVATIONS: One of the ambitions of Strel- itz, as the new general chairman. is to reach out to the over 50 percent of Jews in this country. who do not contrib- ute. It is estimated that the UJA has about 1.000.000 con- tributors. But his major ambition is to introduce in the UJA four "priorities" which he calls "the Four R's"--Region- alization, Restructure. Recruitment and Responsibility. Regionalization is his first priority. Each region in the American Jewish community must become a mini-version of the national leadership structure in order to function ef- ficiently and effectively. • Basic organizational restructure is his second priority. The essence of this restructuring is to create avenues for the best and brightest people in the community to find a way to be active not only in their Federations. Recruitment is his third priority and this deals with recruitment of professional leadership. Strelitz points out that much of the UJA achievements rest squarely on the shoulders of the pro- fessional: he therefore advo- cates more effective means of recruiting professionals in order to assure the con- tinued flow of professional leadership to either the Fed- LEONARD STRELITZ erations or to the National United Jewish Appeal. His final priority-responsibility-visualizes greater com- mitment on the part of men and women standing in the ranks of Jewish leadership in their communities and on the national level. U J A. "SIDE EFFECTS": Interested primarily in the success of UJA fund-raising. Strelitz does not consider the UJA merely a fund-raising agency. He also has a philoso- phy on the "side-effects" which UJA fund-raising have on Jewish life in America. One of the major "side-effects" is the strengthening of Jewish consciousness among many Jews in this country who, without being solicited for contributions to the 1J /JA- which they usually give when properly approached-would have felt completely indifferent to their Jewishness. Another important "side-effect" is the education which the UJA campaign brings to many Jews who are either= misinformed, or not informed at all. on Israel and on Jew- ish developments in other countries where communities are in need of American Jewish aid. . t TEL AVIV—When the world is searching for new sources of energy, equip- ment designed by a team of Tel Aviv University scien- tists for the High-Energy Astronomical Observatory satellite recently launched by NASA to measure and re- cord changes in the x-ray radiation from the stars, may be a solution. "If it leads to an under- standing of the source of energy which emits these x- rays, it could enable us to imitate this process and uti- lize a similar source of energy on earth," com- mented Dr. Dror Sadeh, pro- Soviet Art Show Warmly Received SEATTLE (JTA)—An un- usual exhibition of paintings and sculpture by 12 Lenin- grad Jewish artists has met with enthusiastic response in this city. The exhibit, which opened June 10 and closed two weeks also, was sponsored by the Commu- nity Relations Committee of the Jewish Federation of Greater Seattle and shown at a local theater. Eleven of the artists whose works were shown have requested emigration visas. As a result, the art- ists, all graduates of the fin- est art institutions in the So- viet Union, have been ex- pelled from the Artist's Union and denied the right to work or to declare-art as their profession. The twelfth artist, Tatyana Kor- nfeld, a 27-year-old gradu- ate of the Leningrad Acad- emy of Art, was permitted to emigrate to Israel last year. I.C.C.

I Our high-interest certificate savings accounts help you earn extra money by waiting. Pretend it's six years from now. You go to your desk drawer and look at-the six-year certificate savings account you opened back in 1977. Remember the $1,000 you - took to First Federal Savings of Delroit? Well, now it's $1,584.00. And all you had to do to get that additional $584.00 was wait. Of course, if you'd rather pretend it's four years from now, or two and a half, or even just one, we can show you plans that still will turn your money into more than you might have thought possible. And remember, too, that you can have certificate savings accounts in addition to your regular savings account (which earns 5 1/4% per year daily interest, paid and compounded quarterly). In fact, that's how many people get the money to open a certificate savings account. They save for it. What's more, at First Federal, certificate savings accounts can entitle you to a number of special services, many not available anywhere else. We think you should know about these things because we know that money is important for you. - _ lessor of astronomy and astro-physics and head of the team.
