Calliiig for renewed effort on the part of workers,in the .Jewish Center campaign. General Chairman Rudolph J. Klemperer revealed this week that failure to follow through  was  seriously  endangering  the  project.
"We have received reports on only, a fifth of the gen¬ eral solicitation and at this time we should be more than half way," Mr. Klehiperer said. "Unless our workers get into this impoilant pha.se of the campaign immediately the whole Center campaign will suffer to the point where the result will be a matter of deep concern.
"A chieck-up shows that many workers have not made the calls on their lists. Others still are carrying, completed pledge cards in their pockets and have not reported the results.

or leaders. They gave the Jew¬ ish Center a fin? start and their pledges brought us within sight of our $425,00 goal. Now is the time for us to go over the top of that quota In our contribu¬ tions drive."
The community-wide canvass began Feb. 1. At that time ll was hoped it could be completed by next week. The workers' di-. vijiion, headed by Mr, Klemper- , er, now is trying lo speed up its canvass to meet that dead¬ line.
Assisting Mr. Klemperer as vice chairmen are Sig L. Welss¬ kerz, Herman Katz, Samuel Schlonsky and Sidney L. Katz. Nearly 100 "Workers are organ¬ ized in teams under their leader¬ ship.
At the opening of the cam¬ paign. Chairman Summer an- ounced that trustees of special funds had pledged $100,000 for the Center if the remainder could be raised from contribu¬ tions. A special gifts solicitation at a dinner in the Seneca Hotel Jan. IVth brought out pledges of major contributions for more than half the $325,000 whleh must be raised.
Remainder of this amount was the goal of the canvassing group. Their efforts during the nexi week will determine wheth¬ er it will be possible to go ahead with plans for the Center.
Pledge^ made now may be paid during the next three yeara 1046, 1947 and 1948. When the total of funds available is de¬ termined, plans for the Jewish Center site and building jvill be prepared to permit qonatrUctlon when labor and materials are' available.
