The Combined Jewish Appeal of Greater Boston last night ended its most successful campaign in years. General chairman Philip W. Lown told more than 600 workers at a closing dinner that a total of $5,775,000 was raised in the recent drive. Mr. Lown announced that of the $5,775,000 received in cash and pledges, $4,510,000 will support the regular 201 beneficiaries including the United Jewish Appeal. The remaining $1,265,000 was contributed to the United Jewish Appeal’s special survival fund.
Lewis H. Weinstein, president of the Combined Jewish Appeal, said that the campaign represents a one million dollar increase over last year’s campaign. Dewey D. Stone, a national UJA chairman, who sparked the special survival fund campaign, received the Combined Jewish Appeal’s first award for extraordinary service to the community.
