Despite its 33,000 contributors, the Federation for the Support of Jewish Philanthropic Societies races a deficit of $1,778,000 for the year 1929, it was announced by Sol E. Stroock, its president, at the twelfth annual meeting Sunday. The last campaign, completed on December 31, was successful in wiping off the 1928 deficit in the same amount, he said. The present situation is the result of an over-zealous desire to go over the top. The result was a number of last-minute contributions, causing a “one day’s solvency on New Year’s eve.” These special donations, he said, must now be resolicited if the budget for the year is to be successfully met.
