News Brief

Definite dates for the 1934 Allied Jewish Campain were recommended here by the board of the Detroit Service Group, to be conducted during the period from May 27 through June 7. The goal and the budget for the drive will be set by the governing board of the Jewish Welfare Federation.

“The budget committee of the Federation board will meet during the coming week to consider the percentages of the funds we will raise this year which should be allocated to the various local and non-local agencies supported by Federation,” says Henry Wireman, chairman of the board.

“Two factors indicate with great clarity our responsibility to organized philanthropy abroad. The first of-these is the desperate need created by the crises in European countries vitally affecting the lives of Jews of many nationalities. The second factor is equally important I refer to the fact that last year due to the unparalleled emergency existing in our own community we were released from our obligations to the non-local agencies to whom we had pledged financial support. We cannot withdraw our support for an other year.”

Plans for the organization of the campaign are being formulated by the campaign planning committee of the Detroit Service Group.

“The success of last year’s campaign setup was so outstanding that we plan to duplicate it this year,” says Maurice J. Caplan, chairman of the campaign planning committee. “We have already begun to reclassify prospective givers, keeping in mind the changing and improving economic situation in our community. This work is now under way under the leadership of George M. Stutz, associate chairman of the campaign planning committee and chairman of the prospects committee.”

Nate S. Shapero is chairman of the public relations committee, Rabbi Leon Fram heads the speakers’ bureau, Milton M. Alexander the radio committee, and Louis Bass the advertising committee.
