United Jewish
Appeal Dissolved

NEW YORK (JTA)-The Joint
Distribution Committee and the
United Palestine Appeal have de-
cided to conduct independent
Embarrassing campaigns in 1945.
Their decision marks the end of
the United Jewish Appeal which
has functioned since 1888 as a
joint-raising body.
The split came as a result of
disagreement between the Unit
ed Palestine Appeal and the Joint
Distribution Committee with re-
gard to the proportion Of funds
each of the agencies should get
from the joint Embarrassing cam
paign. A proposal to continue the
UJA offered by special media
ton committee of the Council Of
Federations and Welfare funds to
both agencies was reported today
to have been rejected by the
U. P. A. although it was accepted
by the representatives of the
J. D. c.
Federation and Welfare Funds
Council Asks Unity Despite
u. ]. A. Break
H. L. Lurie, executive director
of the Council of Jewish Fedora
ton and Welfare Funds, issued a
statement to the welfare funds
and other member agencies of the
CJFWF reporting on the efforts
of the Council to assist in bring
ing about the reconstruction of
the United Jewish Appeal for
1915. The Council is prepared to
do everything possible to assist
it's welfare fund agencies in read
justing their campaigns to the
separate appeals of the JDC, UPA
and MRS and in strengthening
themselves and instruments for
united communal action in fund
raising as well as other communal
endeavors.
The statement indicates also that
the failure to reach aa PJA agree
ment in no way reduces the need
for support of the causes served
by the former UJA constituents,
''The needs for 1915 both for gen.
eral oversee relief, rescue and re-
habilation falling within the scope
of the JDC and for the Palestin-
ian programs financed through the
UPA are probably greater now
than they were at any previous
time. The Council feels that the
welfare funds should speedily re-
adjust their campaign plans to
the separate appeals for the pur-
pose of raising the largest pos
sible amount for all causes and
for the purpose of preserving and
strengthening communal solidar-
ity which is more important now
than ever before"

WATCHING DEVELOPMENTS:
Jewish organizations interested
in protection of Jewish rights are
losing no time in preparing memo
randa for dissemination among
members of the forthcoming Unit
ed Nations conference at San
Francisco Needless to say,
Jewish delegations will not have
the slightest chance of being adj
mitted to this conference even
as observers Latest reports
reaching leading Jewish institu-
tons in New York from liberated
Europe disclose that there are
less than one million Jews left
alive today on the entire Euro
pean continent, except Russia,
where 5,665,00 Jews lived before
the war This is even less
than the most pessimistic expect
ed :. In the whole of liberated
Poland not a single rabbi can be
found today . The Central Jew
ish Committee in Poland, whose
headquarters are in Lublin, has
cabled a request to Palestine to
send at least one rabbi as soon
as possible And in Italy,
where Chief Rabbi. Israel Zolli
of Rome embraced Catholicism,
a similar situation exists, with
the local Jewish communities
seeking rabbis abroad . :. The
sensational step taken by Zolli
has been taken quietly by many.
Jews in France, Belgium, Hun
gary, Poland and Slovakia .
It has been no secret that sew
eral thousand Jews in these coun-
tries who were helped by the
Catholic Church, which provided
them with false identity docu-
ments and other forms of aid
during the Nazi occupation, re-
fuse to consider themselves Jews
even now that they are again free
people The problem is even
more serious as regards Jewish
children who were sheltered dur
ing the years of Nazi occupation
in Catholic institutions F. Many
OF them insist on remaining Catho-
lie and don't want to have any
thing to do with Jews, even their
parents
RUSSIA AND PALESTINE:
Soviet diplomats in Arab coun-
tries, including Palestine, have
been instructed to be non-com-
initial on political questions affect
ing the Near East In Pales-
tine, Soviet consular officials &C.
casionally meet with local Jews
but not with Jewish leaders since
this could be interpreted as semi
official talks The same is
true with regard to meeting with
local Arabs Jewish institu-
tons in Palestine receive from
time to time questionnaires from
the Soviet consulate, but all ques-
tons therein deal with economic
problems only They IN
dicate that Moscow is study
ing Palestine's production as
well as exports and imports :.
Soviet diplomats especially avoid
any contact with local Commun-
lists in Palestine and do not re-
ceive any member Of the local
Communist Party ;.

Southeastern Synagogue Conference
Meets In Birmingham, Alabama

4MOAlCIl1yI - Lie second annual
convention of the Southeastern
Synagogue Conference, dedicated
to the furtherance and perpetual
ton of traditional Orthodox Juda-
ism in the Southeastern states,
convened in Birmingham, Alaba-
ma, on February 2 and 4. Dele
gates and rabbis representing all
the Southeastern states met in
session to deliberate upon the
many problems common to all
southern Jewish communities.
That is the Southeast, tradi-
tionally considered to be a weak
point of Orthodoxy, such enthusi-
asm manifested at the convention
provides ample evidence of the
reawakened interest and the re-
vitalization of traditional Judaism
in this region.
The program was planned I'M
der the aegis of Rabbi Abraham
J. Mesch of the Temple Bethel
and Rabbi Joseph Goldberg of
the Knesseth Israel Congregation,
both Of Birmingham who acted
as hosts to the delegates.
The Friday evening service wit
messed the installation of the
Bethel Youth League Officers
and was climaxed by the elo-
quent address delivered by Rabbi
Irwin Isaacson of the Congrega-
ton Sheriff. Israel of Nashville,
Tennessee, on the subject of ''The
Synagogue and Youth" Approx
mately $50 delegates and congre-
giants gathered at the Temple
Bethel to take part in these
services. The spirited discussions
at the seminar on adult Jewish
education Saturday afternoon, and
at the M'lava Malka on Saturday
evening when the "Synagogue and
Zionism," was carefully scrutiniz-
ed, manifested keen awareness
on the part of those present to
the responsibilities which Ortho-
dox Judaism must assume in the
world of tomorrow.
At the Sunday morning session
, at the Thomas Jefferson Hotel
Harry Stern of Nashville, Ten
nessee, president and founder OF
the Southeastern Synagogue Con-
ference, outlined in his message
the achievements and the pheno-
menal growth of the conference
in the short time of its existence.
He placed special emphasis how
ever on the tasks that lie ahead
and indicated the direction which
the conference must take if it is
to become an integral part of the
Jewish community life in the
south. A special memorial SER
vice presided over by Rabbi Sam
uel S. Lerer of Montgomery,
Alabama, was held in memory
of our martyrs who were so ruth
lessly exterminated in the human
abbatairs of Nazi occupied Europe,
and for those who have fallen
in the struggle for freedom and
democracy. Rabbi A. Mauskoff
of Mobile, Alabama, delivered the
Memorial address.
The luncheon session held at
the Knesseth Israel Synagogue
with Samuel Eplan of Atlanta,
Georgia, presiding featured a
symposium on ''The Synagogue
School and its Curriculum" which
evoked a great deal of interest
and comment from all present.

Professor Bolules Sho1us OPA's Value on Charts

cent Bowles said he got the fig- ures from the furniture dealers. Not from Furniture Dealer Wherry, he didn't.
 Sen. Wherry said. How can you increase your profits on furniture when you have no furniture?
 Bowles went on Hardware store profits up 400 per cent.
 Just Dumb
 'Now that's impossible,' cried the Senator.
 Bowles kept going. Department store profits 1924 per cent higher than before the war. "What?" Wherry yelped. "One thousand three hundred and twenty-four per cent" he professor replied, pointing at his chart.
 That's an awful big figure" in terjected Sen. Allen J. Ellender of Houma, La.. Are we to understand department stores have been allowed to do that? If it's true, then OPA has been failure"
 Yep" said Sen. Wherry.
 Nope" said Prof. Bowles, trying to explain that prices didn't go up, but volume did.
 Dumb muttered Wherry, try ing to escape the assault by chart. That's just dumb"
 It wasn't long before he had to leave for the Senate chamber. So did I. The one place in Washington where there are no charts.

By FREDERICK c. OTHMAN

Washington, Dec. 6. (UP)-A few weeks back when I wrote an item on government by chart, I thought it was the final, def1nitive treatise on the subject. I thought I could forget it, but I reckoned without Chester Bowles. He now has pro jected the art of the chart into un- charted realms.
 A chart Gin case you came in late) is a large white card with red squiggles and printing big enough for Senators, by squinting, to see at 20 paces. Without the chart, our Government probably would collapse. Every day there are new charts, charting problems all over the place: In the White House, at the Pearl Harbor in- quiry, in the Treasury, out at the zoo (where the chart keeps up with the hay eaten by the zebras). So much for the background. Let us march on with science:
 Chester Bowles, leading professor of the chart, strode into the Senate Small Business Committee hearing with his phalanx of OPA assistants, his easel, his charts and copies of his Seven-page statement.
 Professor Begins Lecture Each Senator and each cor respondent received 8 copy of the closely-typed statement, which said the OPA was more good than bad and ought to be continued. Prof. Bowles stood at his easel.
 His assistant, wearing an OPA price approved suit of blue serge and speckled necktie purchased below ceiling price, unveiled the stack of charts and-what do you think? Word for word, in letters two inches high, was the text or Bowles' typed statement.
 The Senators could read 1t III print. They could look at 1t on the charts. They couldn't miss hearing it. Bowles read in a clear, strong voice, while his assistant Tipped each card away as soon as his boss reached the last word.
 Can Escape Chart
 This new chart Is known as the all-out- -attack-upon consciousness chart. You can't escape it. Shut your eyes and there's the professor reading aloud. Avert your gaze and you find yourself staring at the same words in your hands.
 Only possible way to combat a chart like this is to stand up and -Iell. Sen. Kenneth s. Wherry, lawyer, auto dealer, and undertaken of Pawnee City, Neb.. did so.
 The Senator also is furniture merchant and what he wanted to know was where did Bowles get that chart saying profits of small furniture dealers were up 185 per
