New Jersey Zionist leaders are planning to present a check for $100,000 when the president of the World Zionist Organization will visit here on May 17. The decision to tender a state reception to Dr. Weizmann was taken at a conference presided over by Philip J. Schotland, state chairman of the United Palestine Appeal. Of the $100,000 the sum of $50,000 will be subscribed in Newark.
A local campaign to raise $110,000 for the U.P.A. will commence here simultaneous with the visit of Dr. Weizmarm. Last year the sum of $100,000 was raised in Newark.
Newark’s pledge of $50,000 toward the $100,000 to be presented to the world Zionist leader, was made by Bernard Miller, chairman of the Palestine Appeal in Newark.
The next largest share of the $100,000 will be contributed by Jersey City, which has pledged the sum of $20,000. Abraham Kantor, on behalf of Plainfied Zionists, pledged the sum of $5,000: and like amounts were pledged by Philip Goldman, on behalf of Passaic; Louis Braines for Perth Amboy, and Abraham M. Herman for the Oranges. David Gordon pledged $3,000 for Paterson. Dr. David H. Maisel, Michael Jolin, Frank Schwartzstein and Philip Levine promised $1,000 for New Brunswick and a like amount was pledged for Bloomfield by Abraham Lipton.
