Three national Labor Zionist groups yesterday agreed to conduct a joint campaign in support of the United Jewish Appeal’s 1954 campaign. The groups which approved this decision at a meeting here are Labor Zionist Organization of America, Farband Labor Zionist Order and Pioneer Women.
This is the first time the Labor Zionist groups, which have a combined membership of 100, 000, have joined in such a campaign. Louis Segal, general secretary of the Farband, told the meeting that such concerted action would demonstrate that the Labor Zionist movement feels it is in partnership with Jews in all parts of the world and that it will demonstrate to the world that no matter how they may disagree on internal matters, Jewish groups are united on the “basic issues of survival of Israel and world Jewry. “
