from 3 til 6. No cards.
Operating on the premise that
those best informed are the most
effective workers, the keynote
speakers will point out that 1954
more than ever before, will test
the temper of the Atlanta Jewish
community. If contributors, the
leaders are confident the commun
ity will respond.
As it was pointed out recently.
At long last the hopes and dreams
of development in overseas areas
are coming to fruition. The fact
that dollars can do so much now is
added incentive for giving.
# Another fact that will be
brought to the attention of the
General Solicitation workers at the
dinner Monday will be that many
important state and local services
are beneficiaries. Among them are
the Hillel Foundation at the Uni
versity of Georgia, Atlanta Bureau
of Jewish Education, Jewish Com
munity Council, Federation Re
settlement Program, supplementa
tion of the Federation for Jewish
Social Service and its agencies, as
well as an allocation to the New
Building Fund of the Atlant Jew
ish - Community Center.
Pointing out that the Atlanta
Jewish Welfare Fund is the Jew
ish Community’s instrumentality
for combined cooperation for all
major philanthropy, general chair
men and group leaders will rally
their workers behind the • credo,
“one community ... one campaign
... one contribution."

Only Six Admitted
To U. S. Under 1953
Emergency Act
WASHINGTON (JTA) — Mem
bers of both the Republican and
Democratic parties have joined to
take the Administration to task
because only six persons have been
j admitted to this country under the
Emergency Refugee Act of 1953.
Proposed by President Eisen
hower and enacted last August.
| the program was designed to ad
mit 209,000 refugees in three
years. R. W. Scott McLeod, State
Department security chief who ad
ministers the program, has blamed
the lag on unforeseen red tape
problems. But Rep. J. Vaughan
Gray, Virginia Democrat, said that
some $672,000 has already been
spent and suggested Congress
should repeal the Act if the Ad
ministration cannot implement it.
Rep. Jacob K. Javits, New York
Republican, said the program is
j becoming a “national scandal"
: and promised to attempt to learn
if McLeod is administering the Act
as Congress intended. Another Re-
■ publican, Rep. H. R. Gross, of
; Iowa, said the situation is “un-
I blievable" and that “if the Act is
repealed forthwith, it can’t be too
soon.”
