Increased support for the United Jewish Appeal was pledged here yesterday at the annual meeting of the UJA Council of Jewish Organizations, attended by more than 2,000 delegates.
William Rosenwald, general chairman of the United Jewish Appeal, who was the principal speaker at the gathering, called for “unremitting effort behind the 1955 UJA campaign” in order to help the people of Israel and save Jewish lives in other countries. He hailed the opening of the new Yarkin-Negev pipeline in Israel as “a great engineering miracle” that will make productive 70,000 more acres of land in Israel and enable that many more families to settle there.
