UJA CONFERENCE Continued from Page 1 trying to buy Arab friendship at the expense of Israel. In a wildly applauded declaration, Mr. Sha- rett sharply rejected the 1947 par tition plan. “The Arab invasion killed the partition plan of 1947,” he exclaimed. “The plan cannot now be resurrected by word of mouth. History has moved for ward. Israel has moved forward.” The former Prime Minister de clared that since 1948 his country has achieved an “enormous ad vance in productive capacity and economic performance.” He ex pressed special gratitude at the financial assistance accorded Is rael’s economic growth by the United States Government through loans and grants, and at the same time paifl tribute to the efforts of American Jews for their aid to the humanitarian work of absorb ing Israel’s immigrants. Mr. Warburg listed the “cru cial” tasks which he foresaw that the supporters of the United Jew ish Appeal must make possible in 1958 through both the UJA Rescue Fund and the regular campaign. “Some 70,000 Jews in Eastern Europe, North Africa and other Moslem areas will be in urgent need of resettlement in Is rael in 1958. Another 10,000 dis placed Jews including refugees who fled Egypt and Hungary last year, and who now are in transit camps in Western Europe can be resettled to free countries includ ing the U n i t e d States, British Commonwealth lands and Latin America. "In Israel," he declared, UJA funds must be used to carry for ward vital programs of construc tive aid for 375,000 previous im migrants — making up more than half of the 615,000 individuals who will require UJA help in 1958 — whose absorption is far more completed, or who are among the aged, the handicapped and the young, requiring suitable welfare aid. “More than 22,000 families, re presenting 100,000 immigrant men, women and children are still liv ing after many years in tin-hut towns, known as ‘ma’abaroth,’ ’’ Mr. Warburg pointed out. He add ed that another 100,000 recent im migrants “are living in substand ard semi-permanent housing units. All these people have a high pri ority on our help,” Mr. Warburg said. Rabbi Herbert A. Friedman, the UJA executive vice-chairman, summed up 1958 objectives and called for “meeting the greatest part of the commitments we have pledged ourselves” by the time of the UJA Anniversary Confer ence in Jerusalem next June 24- 26. “Our promises will be empty rhetoric unless we leave here to day ready to begin immediate campaign activity in communi ties across the land,” he added. Dr. Nahum Goldmann, in the major address of the final ses sion, warned against any settle ment of the Middle East problem at Israel’s expense. He said “Is rael may soon face its most cri tical and decisive test as a result of the mounting ferment in the Middle East. The danger may not be military at all, it may be po litical. Attempts may soon be in itiated to stabilize the Middle East,” Dr. Goldman stressed that “the weakening of Israel, an ex emplar of democratic living to all Africa and Asia, would weaken the democratic cause among the underdeveloped countries and could be a fatal blow to the mor al stature of the free world.” “It is high time,” Dr. Goldmann de clared, “that wc learned the re petitive lesson that peace of mind and peace of area cannot be ob tained at the expense of others.” Dov Joseph, Jewish Agency treasurer, addressing the dele gates, warned that the severe shortage of philanthropic funds had slowed down Israel’s absorb- tion program “to the danger point." He emphasized that the problem of housing continues to be Israel’s “greatest financial headache,” with the inflow of newcomers outpacing the housing constructive program. Charles H. Jordan, director- general of overseas operations of the Joint Distribution Committee, predicted that the beginning of 1958 will see “growing numbers of Jews on the move, forced to flee from tyranny and anti-Se mitism and hunger, and hoping to find a h a v e n in hospitable lands." He reported in detail on the JDC program of aid to 1D.000 Jews repatriated to Poland from Russia. Presentation of a specially in scribed Bible was made to Joseph Meyerhoff of Baltimore, who is ending his 1957 term as chairman of the UJA National Campaign Cabinet to assume the duties of a national chairman for the 1958 campaign. Other leaders elected to new posts included William Rosenwald as UJA national chair man representing the Joint Dis tribution Committee; Dr. Jonah B. Wise as honorary national chairman; Samuel Rubin as hon orary chairman of the 1958 UJA Rescue fund, and Fred Forman as chairman of UJA National Campaign Cabinet for 1958.
