Leaders Completing
Plans for Annual
Jewish Fund Drive
500 Expected to Join
Campaign; Cool Is
5000 Subscribers

With only two days remaining be-
fore the launching of the annual
United Jewish Appeal, drive leaders
are completing the organization of
teams this week end. The women's
division and the Government divi-
sion are ready to go into action,
but team captains have not been
chosen for the mems and youth
divisions.
Leaders of the mems division will
meet tonight at the home of Charles
l.. Pilzer to select their cohorts.
About 800 drive workers will
gather Tuesday night at the Jewish
Community Center to receive final
instructions before starting the
three-week canvass Wednesday
morning. The meeting will be ad-
dressed by Rabbi William Franklin
Rosenblum of New York, former
associate rabbi of the Washington
Hebrew Congregation.
Goal Is 5000 Gifts.
Drive Chairmen Morris Simon and
Rabbi Isadore Breslau said yester-
day they are confident that this
years campaign will be the most
successful ever held under the ban
ner OF the United Appeal Last
year nearly 1000 contributions were
received and this year the drive
leaders hope to obtain 5000.
Although the Jewish Joint Dis
trlbution Committee, the United
Palestine Appeal and the National
Refugee Service are the principal
benefciaries of funds raised, other
organizations are participating in
this years drive instead of holding
separate campaigns.
