FO0d-FOr-IsraeI
Drives ASSaiIed
As Unnecessary

NEW YORK.-Declaring opposi-
tion to special Zionist "Food-for-
Israel" drives as unnecessary and
wasteful, the Jewish Agency's Com
mittee on Control and Authorize
ton of Campaigns, with the ap-
proval of the Israel government,
this week urged increased support
of the United Jewish Appeal and
the Israel bond drive as the best
method for permanently alleviating
Israel food shortages.
In a statement prepared after
consultation with appropriate Is
rael government officials, the COM
mittee pointed out that recent
press reports on the food situation
in Israel have led some Zionist or
ganizations to plan "Food-for-Is-
rael" campaigns on community or
national levels.
Not Keyed to Need
"While such plans are welcome
expressions of American Jewry's
deep concern with Israel's welfare" I"
the statement said, "they are not
well dudpCcu W 1ol dCl . llCOOo. Il OOO
campaigns, no matter how expertly
conducted, can never produce as
much food as quickly and econom-
ically as centralized food buying
by the people who know IsraePs
needs best-the Israeli authorities.
Moreover, while food collections
will feed few Israelis on hand
to-mouth basis, they do nothing to
solve the country's central food
problem, which is to raise agricul-
tural production to the point where
local food needs can be satisfied
largely from local sources"
Too Many Drives
Stressing that a multiplicity of
campaigns" tends to divert public
support from the major fund-rais-
ing efforts for Israel, the statement
urged that "the best way to put
more food in the mouths of Israelis
is to put more dollars in the hands
of the United Jewish Appeal an6
of the Israel Bond Drive" Pro-
ceeds from both, it was pointed out
are devoted in large measure to the
development of Israel agriculture
In Phoenix, the UJA is part OF
the United Jewish Welfare Fund.

$151,5OO,OOO
National Goal
Set By UJA

ATLANTIC CITY, Nj
More than 1000 leaders of
American Jewry gave unani-
nous approval here to a
100000 goal for the
1862 nationwide campaign
of the United Jewish Appeal.
UJA leaders termed the
target a realistic" one and
pointed out that this is the
same amount which was
raised in the 1948 drive.
The decision was made at a
three-day national conference of
the UJA and was underscored by
expressions of determination to see
Israel through it's present crises
to an era of economic strength.
Edward M. M. Warburg was
drafted to serve a second year as
UJA general chairman.
Purposes Defined
The principal purpose of the
1862 United Jewish Appeal will be
to achieve the strengthening of Is
rael's economic structure, the move
ment to the new state of 100000
immigrants from eastern Europe
and Moslem lands, and the exten-
sion of large-scale welfare and re-
habilitation assistance to hundreds
of thousands of distressed Jews in
other parts of the world.
Delegates heard that the United
Jewish Appeal in 1861 has raised
$85, 100000 for support of immigra-
ton, settlement and rehabilitation
in Israel in other parts of the
world. 1t has raised a total of
$805, 100000 since its establishment
in 1889 as American Jewry's prin-
cipal agency for the financing of
rescue and resettlement programs
on behalf of distressed and uproot-
ed Jews overseas.
Warburg told the conference,
"Our help in 1852 must take new
turn. Our principal objective must
be to aid Israel consolidate the
great gains she has made to date.
Now "HOme-making"
"For three and half years" /"
Warburg declared, "American Jews
have sponsored the greatest home
coming in history as they helped
more than 100000 Jews reach Is
rael. Now we must turn the great
homecoming into a great home
making'-which will see the immi-
grants who have come properly
housed, fully employed and contrib
uting abundantly to IsraePs devel-
opment."
The UJA chairman warned
American Jews that Gin 1852 we
cannot afford to waste single
minute in raising the dollars that
will assure Israel's gains and sus-
tain the lives of hundreds of thou
sands of our people"
The report on UJA's 1851 fund
raising achievement disclosed that
of the $85, 100000 raised this year,
approximately 70 per cent was al
located for programs in Israel. A
total of 10000 Jews were brought
to Israel from points of danger and
tension in Eastern Europe and
Moslem lands. UJA funds, raised
in 5000 American communities
helped approximately 100000 men,
women and children in 1851" the
report said.

the Masonic Temple, in Seattle,
Saturday night, December is, to
witness the first all-Swedish Lucia
Festival in the Northwest metro
polls. AS for variety and enter
tainment, it had as much, if not
more, to offer than any previous

a success, the festival was high
lighted by the appearance of the
Lucia Bride and her court of at
tendants as the winner of the
Lucia contest was announced and
proclaimed Lucia by Mayor Allan
Pomeroy. Her name: Ruby Paul
inc Lundquist, 19-year-old daugh-

the sketch, The Seasons, when
about twenty dancers of Marian
Ladres Ballet Academy performed
the Dance of the Angels to music
and singing by Mikael Schereme-
tiew's Youth Chorus under a huge
