LAST ONE IN

Swimming in the middle OF
the winter!
It's something that the PhOe-
nix Chamber of Commerce
brags about in its tOurist-bait
literature but few PhOenicians
ever enjoy, unless they have an
uncle staying at Comeback Inn.
And none of OUR uncles is like
ly to be staying at Comeback
Inn.
Well, It doesn't matter now,
anyway. The new Jewish Com
munity Center is keeping its
swimming pool full and in Oper-
alton through the winter-with
heated water. The temperature
of the water and the tempera-
ture of the air midway of a sun
ny day are almost identical--a
bit over 10.
So why don't you try it? And
then write a letter to the folks
back in Cleveland about how
you swan in the middle of the

Goal G. j OF S119,9oo,o0o SET
FOR u-J.A.;; Cash AGGING
.Worburg Will
Head Agency
Another Year

NEW YORK, (JTA) =
The three-day annual ma
tional conference of the
United Jewish Appeal con-
cluded here with the adop-
ton of a goal of $119,92
$50 for 1854 and the draft
ing of Edward M. M. War
burg for a fourth successive
term as general chairman of
the UJA.
The goals represent the budgetary
sums required as q minimum in
1854 by the constituent agencies of
the United Jewish Appeal and was
adopted to provide $91, ,620, 900 for
the United Israel Appeal, $26, 1885,
600 for the Joint Distribution Com
mittee and 50, 115, $50 for the United
Service for New Americans and
New York Association for New
Americans.
In a resolution adopted unani-
mously by the 1,200 community
leaders who attended the confer
ence, anxiety was recorded over
the fact that cash receipts of the
UJA for 1858 are running behind
those of 1852. The resolution urged
all communities and all contribu-
tors in these communities to un-
dertake at once an effort to enable
the agencies of the UJA to continue
without interruption or delay their
great humanitarian programs in
Israel, Europe, North Africa and
the MoSlem countries"
The resolution requested that
contributors make full payment of
their pledges before the end of this
year and urged the communities to
pay in full all outstanding amounts
on account of ALLEGATIONS to the
UJA for 1858 and prior years.
Ben Gurion Lauded
The delegates also adopted a res
olution expressing warm affection
and high esteem" of David Ben
Gurion on the occasion of his re-
tirement as Israels premier. I'VE
view with admiration the great
strides which Israel has made dur
inS his tenure in industry, agricul-
ture, settlement and development
of every Sort" the resolution said.
at is our hope that he may find
renewed strength in the rest which
he has so richly earned: that many
more years of good health and hap
piness may be granted to him, and
that his wise counsel may continue
to be available to his people.
$500 Million Since 81
DR.. Joseph j. Schwarts, execu-
titve vice-chairman of the UJA,
who was also reelected for another
term, reported on the Leadership
given the UJA by the present ad-
ministration which came into of
flee three years ago under the gen.
eral craftsmanship of Warburg. He
told the conference that since jan
uary, 1851, Warburg and his asso-
ciates had led the UJA in raising
total of 1928, 900, 900 in pledges,
of which almost $215, ,000,0 900 has
been received in cash.

Cabinet Set Up
These community leaders will

Meanwhile, welfare fund leaders
are conferring with representatives
of the Phoenix BrandeiS Zionist
District and the local Histadrut
chapter to seek agreement on in
cluding the campaigns of those two
organizations in the overall UJWF
drive.
Last year both the zionists and
Histadrut were part of the big well
fare drive and shared in campaign
proceeds on percentage bases. This
year the executive committee Of the
Jewish Community Council decided
to invite their collaboration again
but on the basis of a pre-campaign
request, with no stipulated percent
ages.
Acceptance Seen
Indications were given at re-
cent meeting of the groups that the
offer would be acceptable, although
a final decision is pending. Partici-
pating in the discussions were
Rabbi Harry z. Schectman, presi-
dent of the Zionist group; Harry
Shevick, representing the zOA-
Israel Projects Fund and the Zion
ist Council, and Maurice Brown, re-
presenting the Jewish Community
Council.
st believe that community har-
mony Is well served by amalgamat-
ing these separate campaigns" said
Rabbi Schectman. "The organiza-
ton I represent desires to partici-
pate in the 1854 campaign, as we
feel that the principle of the uni
fled campaign is important to our
community'S best interests There
remains only the working out OF
the details. 1 am confident that
this plan will be acceptable"
Meetings Sought
Discussions with Histadrut have
been carried on by correspondence
so far. welfare fund leaders hope
to arrange personal meetings soon
with HiStadrut representatives.
Last year the ZOA-Israel Projects
Fund received $4,000 from the drive
Histadrut $2500. ZOA's 1854 request

RX the Axsocinfad Prexs

NEW YORK, Jan. 1.-THE
United States Lawn Tennis Asso-
citation moved today to wipe out
hypocrisy in the sport by relax
ing its amateur rules and at the
same time gave unanimous ap-
proval to the ranking of Gardnar
Mulloy as the No. / player in
the country.
The tennis fathers abolished
without argument the anti
quated eight-week rule which
forbids a player to accept ex-
penses for more than eight tour
naments year, exclusive of the
national and sectional champion
ships.
The USLTA thus, put its court
athletes on an equal footing
with those of other countries
which have an unrestricted pro-
gram under laws of the inter-
national federation. Now an
American player can be paid ex-
penses, conceivably. for So tour
naments a year.
1t. Col. James H. Bishop Of
Indiana's Culver Military Acad-
emy took steps toward giving
additional freedom to Americas S
amateur netmen as he took over
the gavel of president, succeed
ing Russell B. Kingman of New
York.
Bishop appointed a committee
of regional vice presidents to
make a further study of the
amateur code, which he de-
scribed as "old and patched up" :"
and asked them to make fur
ther recommendations next
year.
In a session devoid Of ex-
pected fireworks, the USLTA put
its okay-without a dissenting
voice-on the ranking of Mulloy,
39-year-old campaigner from
Coral Gables, Fla, as the No. /
player in the mems division.
Mulloy had been recommended
for the top spot as the result of
his gaining the final round in
the National Championships last
year at Forest Hills. There had
been reports this ranking might
be revised to push Vic Seixas of
Philadelphia, playing captain of
awarded to the 7th Regiment
the Davis Cup team, up from
the No. 2 spot.
However. the general thinking
seemed to be that Seixas had not
acquitted himself well enough in
the cup matches at Australia
to warrant change. The Phila-
delphian lost to Frank Sedgman
in the first singles match but
later defeated Australia's Ken
McGregor.
Maureen Connolly Of San
Diego. Calf. was approved as
No. / in the women's singles and
there was no changes from the
committee recommendations.
The National Singles champ
ionship was set for Forest Hills,
August 90 through September I.

will be played at the Longwood

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. IT,
Frank Sedgman. top world anna
teur tennis player from Austria
liza, was proving just as apt as a
pro as he defeated Jack Kramer,
1-6, 6-3, Ga, before a crowd of
6,019 tonight.
The victory was Sedgman's
fourth in a row over the Ameri-
can who is general manager of
the professional tennis show.
The Australians now lead 6-3 in
the series.
In the opening singles, Pancho
Segura. the former amateur from
Ecuador, defeated Ken Nc
Gregor, the other former half
of the Australian Davis Cup
team, for the ninth straight time.
Vancho won in straight sets,
