The Jewish Agency’s Committee on Control and Authorization of Campaigns today announced a list of ten Jewish organizations which have been authorized to conduct campaigns for Israel projects in 1951. The Committee is headed by Dr. Mahum Goldmann, chairman of the American Section of the Jewish Agency.
The organizations authorized to conduct Israel campaigns in 1951, all of which received similar authorizations in 1950, are Hadassah, including Junior Hadassah; National Committee for Labor Israel; Jewish National Fund (traditional collections only); Pioneer Women, the Women’s Labor Zionist Organization of America; Mizrachi Women’s Organization of America, including Junior Mizrachi Women; University-Institute-Technion Fund in behalf of the Hebrew University in Jerusalem, the Weizmann Institute of Science and the Haifa Technion; American Fund for Israel Institutions; Federated Council of Palestine Institutions; Material for Israel, Inc. (materials only); Woman’s League for Israel, Inc. (New York area only.)
A Jewish Agency spokesman explained that authorizations were granted upon submission of formal applications and financial data, but did not imply endorsement, He emphasized that all organizations whose applications were approved have agreed to conduct their campaigns so as to assure priority to the United Jewish Appeal drive. Negotiations for one or two additional authorizations are still under way, the spokesman declared.
