INSIDE UJA: The United Jewish Appeal started its 1984 program with certain structural changes and with changes in the administration. The major administration change is the appointment of Stanley B. Horowitz, execu- tive head of the Jewish Community Federation in Cleve- land, to the position of UJA president. This is the first time in UJA history that a federation professional was chosen for the post. His appointment indicates the strong relation- ship prevailing between the leadership of UJA and the Council of Jewish Federations. There was a time when relations between the federa- tion leadership and UJA leadership were cool and formal. This is no longer the case. It all changed when Max M. Fisher of Detroit served as CJF president from- 1969 to 1972 and previously as UJA national chairman. He saw the UJA and the federations as two sides of the same coin in Ameri- can Jewish communal life, and succeeded in building bridges between the two. Since then, the relationship be- tween the CJF and UJA became stronger with every year. The federations, as the organized Jewish communities, have always been the financial backbone of UJA. But there are also about 430 very small, non-federated communities that are reached by UJA directly for contributions. More than 80 percent of the total fund-raising conducted by the organized communities come, however, from 32 major cities with annual contributions of $3 million or more to the local Jewish federations. About 15 percent come from approximately 50 cities which contribute each to their local federations between $1 million and $3 million in the annual campaign. Some small federations and the small non-federated com- munities account for five percent of the total annual fund- raising campaign. The UJA gets from the federations more than 60 percent of the funds they raise. The CJF, working in full cooperation with the UJA, has established a Campaign Planning Advisory Committee to strengthen federation-UJA local campaigns. There is now a CJF-UJA liaison committee maintaining communi- cation on common concerns. The CJF and UJA have 10 representatives each on this body. There are also other areas in which the federations and the UJA are now close to each other. This spirit of becoming more and more the two sides of the same coin has obviously led the UJA leadership to appoint Horowitz as UJA president. A new UJA national chairman will be formally elected in May. He has already been named unofficially: Alexander Grass of Harrisburg, Pa., vice president of UJA and chairman of the Israel Edu- cation Fund established by the UJA. He is also a board member of the American Jewish Joint Distribution Com- mittee. THE REGIONAL OFFICES: Of the structural changes in the UJA, the most outstanding is the recon- struction of UJA's field operations. This change was recommended by the UJA senior management last year following an assessment of the giving patterns and atti- tudes of contributors and non-contributors. Consultations were also held with a substantial number of leaders of federations. As a result, .the UJA's eight regional offices were re- duced to a give-region structure. The five regional offices will be located in New York City, Chicago, Los Angeles, Dallas and Deerfield Beach, Fla.

Shultz made his remarks in an appearance on the ABC-TV "This Week With David Brinkley" program during which he denounced international terrorism as "an attack on civilization" and "we have to be very con- cerned about it." Asked if the U.S. might' launch a preemptive strike against possible kamikaze- type attacks on American warships or bases in the Middle East, Shultz replied: "I think we have to be very conscious of the rise in terrorism, not only in Lebanon but around the world and the fact that it is increasingly evident that it has a base in a state — it isn't some random crazy group. It is or- ganized, systematic, people get trained for it and in the case of Leba- - non, we increasingly see these things originating in Iran. "We see them taking place necessarily with the acquiescence of Syria. We see who this group is — there's Syria, Iran, Libya and the Soviet Union."
