Dan Cohen Appointed UJF Committee Chairman
Samuel Melton, 1951 campaign chairman of the United Jewish Fund, announced this week the ap¬ pointment of Daniel Cohen as chairman of a special committee to call on those people who have not yet contributed to thr campaign. In doing 8o, he stated:
"The rcaponse this year to our campaign was gratifyinK Moat in¬ dividuals reaponded to our calls ff)r increasoa. Some were apectaoulnrly generous. However, it seems aingu- larly appropriate that in this .sea¬ son nf the holy days we should give th<js<; whf) mlased doing ao an op¬ portunity to give. This ia the sea¬ aon of personal atock-taking. when each of ua examines his conscience and hia heart to aee whether he has fulfilled hia obligations to hia fel¬ low men. I know that there are tho.se who will be grateful indeed for a reminder of the pressing needs met by the agencies support¬ ed by this campaign and that they will want to give generously when approached now."
Mr.  Melton  went  on  to say that   the committee
he felt particularly gratified that Dan Cohen and hia committee are going to make this effort now. "They deaerve the appreciation of all of us for the extra aervice they are giving."
Mr. Cohen stated: "I am eager to take this assignment because of my knowledge that each and every person in this community wants to do hla ahare in helping the caujiea. I am aure everybody wants to be Included In the list of gener¬ ous-minded citizens. Alao, I atnd my Oomxnittee realize the urgent need

Mr Cohen ailld; "Not only do our fund.N go to Lsrael. but we support such national agencies as the Joint Defen.s'e Appeal, B'nai B'rlth Nat¬ ional Youth Services Appeal, Nat¬ ional Jewish Welfare Board, etc. Throughout the country we sup¬ port welfare institutlona taking care of children, the aged and the III. There are educational and cul¬ tural institutions which could scarcely survive without help of organizations  auch as  ours.
"Local agencies, too, look to us for support, and they have no other form of financing their deficits. I refer to the Columbus Jewish Cen¬ ter, which in the year of its exist¬ ence has rendered aervice far be¬ yond anything we expected. Alao, there is the great service rendered la the Ohio State University by the Hiilel Foundation.

UJA SETS GOAL OF $15-MILLI0N CASH FOR ISRAEL'S AID
To help meet Israel's critical shortagea of "food, housing, medical supplies and health .facilitiea. the United Jewish Appeal will seek $15,000,000 in caah during the month of Octob/'r at the rate of $500,000 a day aa part of its emergency nationwide caah campaign to ralae $35,000,000 by the end of 1951. it was announced thia week by Ed¬ ward M. M. Warburg, UJA general chairman,
Mr. Warburg, who served as leader of the UJA'a Lt-adership Mission to Israel which has just re¬ turned from the Jewiah State, re¬ ported said that results of the month-long $15,000,000 drive would be announced by 1,000 community leaders on Saturday and Sunday, Oct, 27-28. at a UJA National Re¬ port Conference in New York.
Mr, Warburg described the one- month drive for $15,000,000 In cash as "phase one" of the UJA's apecial effort to raise $35,000,000 by Dec. 31. adding that the Report Confer¬ ence in New York would mark the opening of the second and final phase of "this determined effort to help meet Israel's needs by the end of the year."
Mr. Warburg aald that the coun¬ trywide $35,000,000 cash drive will be under the National Chairman¬ ship of William Rosenwald of New York, who recently returned to thia country after an extended sur¬ vey of Jewish needs in larael and Europe. He lauded Mr. Roacnwald'a acceptance of this post, asserting that "his job Is literally staggering when you consider that he must mobilize not only many millions of dollars in cash but also an army of volunteers in more than 3.000 Jewish communities throughout the country."
Mr. Warburg, who launched the UJA's short-term $35,000,000 cash drive in Jerusalem following talks with Mr. Ben-Gurion, emphasized that "while Israel today stands on the verge bf great new accomplish¬ ments in industry, agriculture, and national development, her ability to realize further progress la In peril as she strains every nerve to overcome shortages arlsfng out of an unprecedented immigration and other factors."
The UJA general chairman a- scrlbed Israel's preaent difficulties to what he termed her "basic shortage."
"The chief root of Israel's pres¬ ent crisis," he pointed out, "ia her shortage of foreign exchange, of dollars, and it Is this deficiency which the UnittKi Jewiah Appeal must help in part to meet through Ua drive for $35,000,000 in cash, $15,000,000 of which muat be forth¬ coming this month."
