A quota of $200,000 for the United Jewish Appeal of the Joint Distribution Committee and the American Palestine Campaign will be adopted tomorrow when the twelfth annual conference of the Seaboard Zionist Region begins at the Hotel John Marshall here, it is stated by local officers preparing for the conference.
Rabbi Edward L. Israel, president of the Region, visited New York this week to consult with officers of the United Jewish Appeal with regard to more ambitious plans for fund-raising than have been undertaken for a number of years.
A report issued in advance of the conference by Mr. H. L. Caplan, chairman of the American Palestine Campaign for the Region, showed that more than $40,000 had been raised for the Palestine agency alone during the past year. A total of $70,000 was obtained for all Palestine causes in this section during the year.
