The sum is almost 10 per-
cent higher than the total
collected last year at this
time and is one of the highest
midyear cash totals achieved
by the UJA in the past dec

near-record sum "a great
midway victory in the effort
to keep our overseas pro-
grams going in the face of
the enormous pressure of ris-
ing Jewish h immigration
abroad" Israel D. Fink of
Minneapolis served as nation
al chairman of the cash drive.

Calling on the assembled

declared that IsraePs immi-

heavier than for any comp

''The strain this has placed
on the capacity of the people

Police Seek Mother
Of Abandoned Boby

A cute baby boy is in a foster
home today after being aban-
doned by his mother.
Policewoman Anne Riley said
the child was abandoned July
IS and that the mother is
being sought by police.
She said the baby is between
5 and Z months of age, has
brown eyes, silky black hair
and a light complexion.
The baby was left at the
home Of Mrs. Ethel Butler of
438 Delafield place NV. Mrs.
Butler kept the child for several
days, thinking the mother
would return. Then she notified
police.
The child was placed in a
foster home and then police
began a search for the parents
Mrs. Butler told the police
woman she placed an ad in the
newspapers on July IS for chill
dren to be cared for at her
home. She received only one
call that day in response to
the ad.
Mrs. Butler said the voice on
the phone was soft and had nc
traces of an accent. When told
that the child the woman wish
ed to place with her was only
seven months old, Mrs. Butler
declined to take the case.
That evening while Mrs. But
