u. J. A. Declares Emergency
Rescue Funds
Urgent Need,
UJWF Told

Philip Taxman, general
chairman of the current
United Jewish Welfare Fund
Campaign for $3O0,315, de-
clared today that the Phoe-
nix j ewi S h Community
Council had received an ur-
gent communication from
the United Jewish Appeal
on Jan. 10, beseeching the
American Jewish communities to
solicit Special Emergency Rescue
Funds Immediately.
"The request we have received
from the UJA is one we simply
cannot ignore" said Taxman.
when we started this campaign,
we did not know the emergency
existed and consequently did not
plan on Special Fund this year.
'LN FACT, we believed that the
urgency of refugee needs was al
ready great and required sacrifice
on our part to meet the regular
campaign requirements. The conf
Dental information we have now
received reveals a far greater
exodus of Jews from their native
countries streaming into Israel, as
fast as transportation is available"
Taxman continued:
"We have two major considera-
tions. We must provide the funds
to get these people out properly in
order to avoid the kind of tragedy
for which ship captain was re-
Gently jailed, and second, we must
provide the funds to resettle these
people in Israel SO that ISraePS
economy will not be swamped."
THE TRAGEDY referred to by
Taxman was the sinking of the un-
seaworthy ship with a loss of 40
lives in an unsuccessful escape of
Jews from North Africa. A recent
news story indicated that the cap
tain and one other member OF the
crew were the only ones to reach
shore safely. Both men were in
dicted for criminal negligence.
Campaign plans are being put
into action daily, according to
Hirsh Kaplan, executive director,
with major Embarrassing to take
place during the end of January
and throughout February. A con-
certed effort will be made, he said,
to ask every giver not only to in
crease his regular fund pledge but
also to contribute minimum of 10
per cent of his regular gift in ad-
dition to the Special Fund.
