(Jewish Daily Bulletin)
With $520,000 subscribed, the campaign of the United Jewish Appeal, embracing the United Jewish Campaign and the United Palestine Appeal, was formally brought to an end on January 26. Baltimore’s quota was set at $750,000.
The books will not be closed, however, until several prospective contributors who have indicated they would donate large sums return to the city. It was asserted that several wealthy Baltimore Jews visiting in Europe of touring in this country would add materially to the total received when they come back.
The outcome of the campaign was quite satisfactory, executives said. Some of the 1,000 volunteer workers who canvassed the city, however, expressed disappointment that a greater amount had not been realized.
At the final luncheon of the workers held at the Southern Hotel Rabbi William Rosenau, of the Eutaw Place Temple, praised the work of L. Manuel Hendler, general chairman of the campaign.
