NEARLY S65, 900 RAISED AS TUCSON RALLIES TO CJA
$4,000 Sent UJA After
Isrdels Urgent Appeal

The Steering Committee,
policy-making group for CJA,
composed of the various chair
men, co-chairmen and several
captains, gathered at breakfast
meeting held Sunday in response
to an urgent request from CJA.
1t recommended to the Executive
Committee of the Community
Council that all monies raised in
excess of $4,000 be deposited and
the difference between that sum
and $4,000 be borrowed from the
bank Immediately and dispatched
to UJA.
The next evening the Execu-
tive Board of the Council ap-
proved a resolution to send all
monies in excess of $4,000 al
ready collected and up to $4,000
as received Immediately to UJA.
In the meantime IL local business
men signed notes for $25,000
which was borrowed from the
bank and dispatched on Wednes-
day.
Genuine confidence marks the
spirit as the various committees
and workers proceed with the
serious business of raising $780,
900 for the Combined Jewish Ap-
peal in the next few weeks. In
part, it can be attributed to the
indicative response of the COM
munity, many of them compara-
tive newcomers.
Reporting on the preliminary
solicitation DR.. Leonard Weiner,
chairman, and Joseph Brindis,
vice-chairman, report that of the
169 men who contributed $31 900
in 1948, these same men gave
$50, 900 this year, an increase of
80 per cent. Many substantial
donors are yet to make their con-
tributions. 1t is expected their
contributions will maintain this
marked increase in giving.
Individual solicitation has be-
gun. DR.. Weiner asks that ev-
eryone extends the courtesy of

Knesseth GiveBen Gurion
Cabinet Vote Of Thanks
BY A. Schwarz

TEL AVN (JTA) The new
Israeli Government, headed by
David Ben Gurion and including
the Mapai, Religious Bloc and
the Progressives, this week re-
ceived 73-45 vote of confidence
in the Knesseth (Parliaraent).
The vote was preceded by a
two-hour address by Premier Da-
vid Ben Gurion in the course of
which he severely lashed out at
his opponents. He was frequent
ly interrupted by spokesmen for
the Mapam, the Irgun-sponsored
Heruth and the General Zionists.
It is believed that the breach
between the Mapai and the Ma
pam has broadened and that the
latter will definitely not enter
the coalition. Before Dan Cur
ion rose to speak, Mapai and Ma
pan deputies hurled accusations
that the position of the other
party is preventing complete la
Dor unity in the government.
Ben Gurion told the Parlla-
ment that his government would
follow a policy of loyalty to the
United Nations Charter and

World Bank 10 Survey
Undeve|oped Areas
BY the Associoted Press

The World Banks new. presi.
dent yesterday announced a new
undertaking for it: sending teams
of experts to find how to increase
the wealth of underdeveloped
countries.
This program fits right in with
President Truman's Point Four"
proposal for helping supply
American know how" to coun-
tries which need it to improve
their lot, said Eugene r. Black,
who formally takes over the bank
presidency today.
The initial venture of this kind,
he told news conference, will be
to send to Columbia soon a nine
man team Of experts headed BY
DR.. LauchIin Currie, former adj
ministrative aide to Presidents
Roosevelt and Truman. The
mission is to undertake q
comprehensive survey of Colum-
bias overall economy with the
view of recommending ways to
increase the wealth of that coun-
try"
The bank has sent q score Of
economic missions out to member
countries before, but hitherto they
have stuck pretty much to looking
over products on which loans
were sought.

Stock Market Steady;
Small Advances and
Losses Balanced

NEW YORK, July 1.-The stock
market barely maintained head
way in sleepy trading today.
The market appeared to be on
a steady price footing with small
gains and losses pretty even
ly balanced. Numerous stocks,
though, failed to make an ap-
pearance on the ticker tape.
Business was slow even for an
unusually slow week in which
turnover has twice dropped below
100000 shares. Many brokers and
their clients took off early for the
July 4 holiday which helped to
keep turnover low.
Higher prices were paid for

Truman Sees No Need
OF 5 Per Centers'

Businessmen don't need inter-
mediaries to carry on dealings
with the Government.
President Truman emphasized
this at his news conference yes
terday when asked for comment
on recent disclosures about the
activities of the so-called IS per-
centers" who offer their services
to those seeking Government con-
tracts for a fee based on the
business obtained.
Mr.. Truman said he had taken
the stand since his days as head
Of the Senate War Investigating
Committee that these middle
men were not needed.
Asked if he was supporting the
bill by Representative Barden.
Democrat, North Carolina, to bar
funds in the pending education
aid bills to non-public schools, Mr..
Truman said he wasn't writing
the bill.
He said that he talked to Mr..
Barden Wednesday and expressed
hope that legislation would be
passed. The Senate has passed
the measure. but 1t is tied up in
the House by the fight over allo-
cation of funds to other than
public schools.

BY the Assoeioisd Press


The a. nation international
wheat agreement went into force
yesterday.
It became effective when India
and Lebanon deposited their rati-
fications of the four-year accord
designed to stabilize the world
wheat market.
Their. actions raised the num-
ber of bushels subscribed to by
importing countries to 325, ,181 ,032.
This showed the total over the
minimum requirement of $780,
100000 bushels of. wheat.
Under terms of the agreement,
the importing nations had to sub
scribe to 70 per cent of the total
agreed upon by July 1 and the
exporting nations had to agree to
furnish 80 per cent of the total by
the same date.
Australia became the third ex-
porter to deposit it's ratification
earlier yesterday. Previously, the
United States and Canada had
done so.
Meanwhile, American wheat
farmers with acceptable storage
facilities were assured of a ma
tional average payment of at
least $1.95 a bushel for their 1949
grain crop.
The Agriculture Department an
lounced that it will make loans
on wheat at rates averaging that
figure. or that it will agree to buy
grain later at the same rates. The

BY the Assoeioted Press

NEW YORK, July Retail
trade continued to lag behind
year ago. but this week rose
slightly above the previous week,
Dun & Bradstreet reported today.
There was a favorable con-
sumer response to month-end
mark-down sales and seasonal
promotions in the week ended
Wednesday," the trade review
said.
while total retail volume rose
fractionally, it remained moder-
ately below the unusually high
level of year ago.
Price reductions were widely
advertised, but generally were
moderate in size. Shoppers con-
tinued to seek lower-priced goods
in most lines.
Apparel volume was up slightly
this week as sportswear and
lightweight suits were sought by
vacation minded consumers. Low
priced goods continued to attract
attention and moderate mark
downs on mems suits in some
areas evoked considerable re-
sponse. Light suits and wash
dresses remained in high demand
among the woman shoppers in
many localities"
Total retail volume was esti-
mated at 2 to 5 per cent under a
year ago. Regional percentage
changes follow: New England
and Midwest. down to z; East
South and Northwest, unchanged
to down 4; Southwest, down 3 to
6, and Pacific Coast. down 2 to
