UJA PLANNING
It is now only the middle of summer 1972.
But the leadership of the United Jewish Appeal
is already deeply engaged in mapping plans for
the UJA campaign for 1973. In fact, it has already
received substantial commitments for the 19/J
drive. ,
The first commitments were made at a weeK-
end “retreat” last month of the members of the
UJA national executive. Every member of the
executive who was present there pledged — after
listening to “inside reports” on Israel’s needs —
to contribute more than he did to the 1972 cam
paign.
A second important move in the direction of
the 1973 campaign is the “Prime Minister’s Mis
sion.” This is a mission of UJA leaders invited to
Israel by Prime Minister Golda Meir in which
about 200 of the most important UJA donors will
participate. The Mission will leave for Israel in
August. It will be followed by a larger group of
about 400 community leaders in October.
Meanwhile, a private meeting is being pre
pared of givers who each contributed a million
dollars or more donation to the 1972 campaign.
There were 17 such gifts in 1972.
All these events are only part of the program
now in preparation for the 1973 drive.
UNPRECEDENTED SUCCESS
With the 1972 campaign now already in the
background, UJA leaders talk with pride of its
achievements. It yielded the largest results ever
in the UJA history.
Although the year hasn’t ended, the UJA
raised in 1972 the impressive sum of $270 million.
This is about $25 million more than in 1971, when
UJA raised the largest sum in its history, larger
than the total raised in 1967, the year of the Six-
Day War.
Especially proud of the 1972 achievements is
Paul Zuckerman, the Detroit Jewish leader who
has been for many years among the most active
UJA leaders. The year 1972 was his first year as
General Chairman of the UJA and he spared no
effort to make it the greatest year of giving to
the UJA.
Also optimistic with regard to the 1973 cam
paign is Irving Bernstein, the executive vice-
chairman of the UJA. The year of 1972 was his
first year in the position of executive vice-chair
man. That he made good can be seen from the
outstanding results of the 1972 drive. At 52, he is
the youngest top executive in major Jewish
organizational life.
1973 INCENTIVES
In mapping plans for the 1973 campaign, UJA
leadership is preparing to link the campaign with
the 25th anniversary of Israel’s independence.
This will definitely stimulate American Jews
to greater giving. Every Jew who ever made a
contribution to the UJA will in this anniversary
year have the feeling that he personally helped
in the quarter-of-a-century existence and devel
opment of Israel under most difficult circumstan
ces, in the face of a war unprecedented in its
length in contemporary history. No war in this
century has gone on for 25 years.
Yet. the 1973 campaign will not be built on
the theme of Israel’s war needs. It is the positive
achievements of Israel that will be the leit-motif
of the campaign—the economic development, the
fact that Israel has even under war circumstances
become the greatest cultural center in the entire
Middle East; Israel’s absorption of more than
2,000,000 Jews most of them from countries where
they were oppressed; and last, but not least, the
settlement of thousands of Jews from the Soviet
Union who are still continuing to come at the
rate of about 100 a day.
Secretary Frederick G. Dutton.
“There is no question but that, in view of the Nasser threats,
Israel this year and in the coming years will have to devote the
best of her strength and wealth to maintain a reasonable balance
of forces whose first objective will be to deter and, if there is no
other choice, to win,” said Labor Minister Yigal Allon.
The Knesset’s Finance Committee, over President Ben-Zvi's
objections, raised his salary from $1500 annually to $6000.
“JERUSALEM— Minister of Commerce and Industry Pinhas
Sapir told the Knesset he would not order an Israeli firm making
uniforms for West German soldiers to cancel its contract Sapir
declared he did not think that the supply of uniforms to the
Bundeswehr ‘constituted an affront to Jewish workers’.”
Hamburg District Court Judge Fritz Puls was arrested on
charges of helping execute 40 Jews in Russia in 1943.

scope of Soviet withdrawal
from Egypt was still unclear.
Asked whether he thought the
Soviets would “punish” Sadat
by pulling out more airplanes
than Sadat had stipulated or by
denying him supplies, Eban in
timated this was a possibility.
He declared that “the dy

result in leaving Sadat with
less than he had bargained for.
He also said he would not
like to think that Sadat’s re
jection of Prime Minister Golda
Meir’s appeal for prompt negoti
ations was Sadat’s last word on
the subject. He said Egypt “has
several options for communica
tion, such as has occurred be
tween the two Germanies, be
tween India and Pakistan and
between North and South
Korea.” Eban added the opin
ion that a “certain lessening
of extremism or wrath” had
been noted in Sadat’s latest
speech in Alexandria when he
rejected Mrs. Meir’s bid for
talks.

The occasion was Israel’s

The conversation, while cere

I have visited Israel on other
occasions. I have been unable to
do so as President. But you can
be sure we will continue to
work together for what y*u are
interested in and what we are
interested in, and that is a just
peace in the Middle East which
will protect the integrity of
Israel, for which your people
have suffered so much. “Mrs.
Meir’s reply was brief. “Thank
you very much,” she said.” “It
is easier to face difficulties
when you speak as you do; and
I know what you have done.”
The satellite phone call from
the White House was received
at 5 p.m. local time July 26 at
the satellite receiving station
built by the Ministry of Com
munications in the Judaean
Hills near Jerusalem. The an
nouncement of the Nixon-Meir
telephone conversation was un
expected. The White House had
declined earlier to make such a
call on grounds that it would
set a precedent for all countries
joining the satellite communi
cations system.
Shmuel Almog, director of
the Israel Broadcasting Service,
announced that an agreement
had been made with the French
news service for nightly Euro
pean newscasts to be beamed to
Israel from Paris via satellite.
The arrangement will go into
effect after the High Holidays
in September. At present TV
newsreels are flown to Israel
and the news is often stale when
it gets there. Almog said the
French news service was selec
ted because the Israel radio has
a staff in Paris. He said the
agreement was reciprocal and
that Israel will send its own Ty
news to European stations via
the Paris link.
JERUSALEM — At gradua
tion exercises recently for
the Arabic-Hebrew Ulpan of
the Hebrew University’s Mar
tin Buber Adult Education
Center, 259 students received
certificates after completing a
year’s course. Two-thirds of the
graduates are Arabs who
learned Hebrew, and one third
are Jews who learned Arabic.
This was the fifth year that
the University-run program
took place at the Sisters of
Zion Convent (Ecce Homo) on
the Via Dolorosa in the Old
City. Next summer the entire
Adult Education Center is
scheduled to move into its new
Mount Scopus home, the Martin
Buber Institute which will also
serve as an Arab-Jewish com
munity center.
The graduates and an audi
ence of some 300 guests at the
Omariya School, opposite Ecce
Homo, heard greetings from
Prof. Aharon Kleinberger,
chairman of the board of the
Martin Buber Center; Mr. Kal
man Yaron, director of the
Center; and Dr. John Tleef,
head of the students’ organiza
tion.
The Center’s Arab-Jewish
Cultural Program has branches
in Ramallah, Bethlehem, Bet
Jalla (Har Giloh), Hebron and
Acre. The Ramallah and Heb
ron branches include language
classes, with 100 students pres
ently completing an ulpan at
Ramallah. The Jerusalem pro
gram has thus far graduated
some 2000 in alL
Special events in the 1971-72
course included a month-long

in Israel; films; social evenings;
and the establishment of a new
