Successful completion of the deficit campaign of the Federation for the Support of Jewish Philanthropic Societies was announced yesterday by former Justice Joseph M. Proskauer, president.

The emergency appeal to raise $2,071,000 to complete the 1934 budget for the maintenance of ninety-one affiliated charitable agencies, he said, has ended with the budget balanced.

Giving high praise to the 3,000 volunteer workers led by Arthur Lehman, Lawrence Marx, Paul M. Rosenthal and Percy S. Straus, campaign chairmen and to the leaders of the Women’s Division campaign, Mrs. Joseph Brettauer and Mrs. Julius Ochs Adler, Judge Proskauer expressed thanks to the community for its generous response which averted the most serious financial crisis in Federation’s 18 years history. This response, he said, must hearten all who have faith in the historic tradition which places large responsibilities on the private citizen for the support of social welfare agencies.

Satisfaction in this victory,
