to discriminate against American

TODAY, HOWEVER, the State

King Saud's demands. He insisted
that no Americans of Jewish faith
be permitted on the premises of

Saudi Arabia. The State Depart

Gilbert, would protect the rights

UJAReceives
$35,IOO,O
Record Start

MIAMI BEACH, FLA. - More
than 900 American Jewish leaders
at the National Inaugural Confer
ence of the United Jewish Appeal
here, concerned for the thousands
of Jewish refugees now fleeing
oppression in Egypt and other
countries, contributed a record
start of $35, 100000 in gifts to launch
the 1857 nationwide campaign Of
the UJA.
The amount represents the larg-
est starting sum ever achieved by
the UJA, and probably the largest
ever secured by any American
philanthropic cause at the opening
Of its campaign. It compares with
the $26 $780, 900 contributed last year
by similar gathering.
THE 900 DELEGATES heard a
dramatic plea by Mrs. G0lda Meir,
foreign minister of Israel, for wide
spread support of the UJA aim to
bring as many Jewish refugees to
Israel as possible in the months
ahead.
william Rosenwald of New York,
! general chairman of the UJA, de-
clared the outpouring of gifts IAN
inspiring indication of the resolve
of American Jews not to let Jew
ish refugee lives be lost as they
were in the Hitler period, and not
to let today's refugees become a
social and economic burden for
the people of Israel, who are re-
ceiving most of them"
THE UJA LEADER pointed out
that the $35, 100000 includes con-
tributions to two UJA Embarrassing
efforts = the appeals regular 1857
campaign, and special UJA
Emergency Rescue Fund "for an
over and above" amount Of $780,
100000.
The rescue fund seeks to save
100000 new Jewish refugees ex-
Ipected in 1857. The proceeds to
the regular campaign are for fur
Ither help for $4,000 recent immi-
grants in Israel and distressed
Jews overseas already being aided
by UJA.
DELEGATES ALSO heard Con-
necticut's Gov. Abraham A. Ribi-
coff score Nasser'S policy of ex-
pulsion directed against Egypts
$4,000 Jews and also charged that
the world has disregarded the
important problems of Jewish
refugees from Arab countries"
"Nasser's expulsion Of Egypt'S
Jews will soon put the number OF
such Jewish refugees since 1913
at 100000 persons" the governor
declared. '"The majority Of these
refugees have had their posses
sions, businesses and properties
taken from them by the Arabs
without compensation"
THROUGH NASSERISM and
Communism" he said, more than
100000 Jewish men, women and
children are being turned into
refugees and exposed to terrible
suffering and possible death"

group which gave slightly more
than $4,000 in 1855 would boost the
total to $4,000. This would sur
pass Phoenix'S record Of $165, 900

its independence.
THE DRIVES target included

MEANWHILE, Jewish refugees
continue to pour into Israel from

are hereby notified that the
last collection Of dues every
month will take place on the

the duty of every member to

Regardless of when the cur

try to enroll new members.
AS you know we need only Is
