For Cash Collection
The national cash mobiliza

when Milton Weinstein, presi

Federation, received the follow
ing telegram from Louis A.
Pincus, chairman of the Jewish
Agency:
“Immigration in first four
months of this year is running
over fifty per cent more than

last year presaging total annual
immigration for 1972 at 70,000.
Unfortunately cash promised by
campaign so far no where near
enough to meet these pressing
vital needs of immigration ab

alternative of cutting services
particularly for Soviet Jewry
immigrants who form largest
portion of this immigration.

IjOx and Paget Party
Set for Newcomers
Newcomers to Atlanta will
have an opportunity to meet
other newcomers and to learn
of Atlanta’s Jewish community
at a “Lox and Bagel” party
planned by the “Shalom Atlan

Committee members include

intensified by the further urgent
need for cash to assure contin
uation of indispensable housing
programmes for young couples
and large families living in
dangerously overcrowded condi

of education, welfare and health
services. The threat to Israel’s
security continues and in these
very days even intensified,
making World Jewry the only
source of assistance for the hu
manitarian needs referred to
above.
“I ask you therefore to under
take at once most intensive ef

of cprrent and previous cam
paigns I know we can count on
dedication and sense of respon
sibility of American Jewry to
make possible immediate and
massive transmittal of cash in
keeping with the urgency of our
needs.

Dr. Leon H. Spotts, execu
tive director of the Atlanta Bu
reau of Jewish Education, is
well represented in the newly
published Encyclopedia Judaica.
He has contributed a number of
articles on leading figures in the
field of Jewish education—in
cluding Alexander Dushkin,
Albert P. Schoolman, George
Gordon, Louis Hurwich, Leibush
Lehrer, and others. He has also
translated a number of articles
on mathematical and scientific
subjects from their original He
brew into English.
“The new encyclopedia, edited
by the late Cecil Roth, is a
monument to Jewish scholar
ship, and Dr. Spotts’ appearance
in this assemblage of greats is
an honor both to him and to
the Atlanta Bureau,” said a
spokesman.
The complete set of Encyclo
pedia Judaica is available to
students and general readers at
the Bureau library. Another
new set is now displayed at the
main branch of the Atlanta Pub
lic Library where it will be
permanently on hand in the ref
erence room.
As the Bureau, under Dr.
Spotts’ direction, rounds out the
year, reports show that atten
dance at the Atlanta High
School of Jewish Studies has
increased greatly; the Adult
Institute of Jewish Learning has
experienced a rewardingly en
thusiastic season; plans have
