He announced that Detroit Jews will be asked in April for $300,000, to include $100,000 for the Allied campaign. Of the rest, $100,000 will be used for building a community center, $50,000 for Hebrew schools, and the balance for other local needs. The announcement was made at a dinner at which David Bressler, one of the chairmen of the Allied campaign, was the principal speaker.
