The launching of the fall cash drive of the United Jewish Appeal, to raise $34,000, 000 for programs of aid in Israel and 30 other overseas lands by December 31, was announced here today by Joseph Meyerhoff, UJA general chairman. The drive will be directed by a committee of 60 key leaders from all parts of the United States, headed by Israel D. Fink, of Minneapolis.
In his announcement, Mr. Meyerhoff cited Israel, Europe and the Moslem lands as areas where cash shortages are the cause of mounting crises in UJA’s relief, reconstruction and resettlement programs, “There need not be–nor will there be–any slowing down of these life-supporting programs of our agencies, if every community joins immediately and wholeheartedly in the UJA’s fall cash campaign to raise $34, 000, 000 by December 31,” he declared.
