Opposition to the dissolution of the United Jewish Appeal was voiced in a resolution adopted here at a session of the executive committee of the New England Region of the Council of Jewish Federations and Welfare Funds, with forty represe natives of 12 cities present. The resolution, made public today, reads:
“We object to the dissolution of the United Jewish Appeal and demand its immediate reconstitution on these grounds, for these reasons: 1. The dissolution has already created disunity, recriminations and confusion in the Jewish communities; 2. It has already, in some cases, resulted in the withdrawal of local leadership and a loss of funds; 3. That the Welfare Funds, which provide at least 90 percent of the funds raised by the former U. J. A. agencies, feel that they should have been asked, as a matter of right, for permission to dissolve the U. J. A.; 4. Finally, we object to the increased cost which will be entailed by the duplication of fund raising effort
