UJF Announces Allocations of  52 Funds
Richard J. Abel, president of the United Jewish Fund, announced this week that the Board of Di¬ rectors had met recently and made its allocations of funds pledged in the 19B2 annual campaign.
Mr. Aboi has stated that the Allo¬ cations Committee of the Fund held several meetings and reviewed the budgets and programs of all those agencies which had been In¬ cluded in tho Fund's campaign or had made requests for allocations.
Mr. Abei stated:
"The Allocations Committee, un¬ der   the   chairmanship   of   Abe   I.
Yenkin, had the very difficult task of analyzing each agency's pro¬ gram and finances and deciding tho share of funds each should re¬ ceive.
' "The Committee based its de¬ cisions oh its evaluation off the extent to which each organization was performing a valid .social wel¬ fare "purpose entitling it to bo con¬ sidered a community responsibility, its efficiency, and the proportion of ita budget which should logically be met by Columbus.
"Another   Important   criteria   en- terinig   into   the   decision   was   the
evaluation of the Interest and po¬ tential support among our contrib¬ utors."
The Allocations Committee and the Board of Directors studied in some detail the reports of the Council of Jewish Federation and Welfare Funds which supplied the factual digests of the programs of the local agencies.
"We feel that the allocations finally decided upon represent the best possible compromise between the amounts requested by the agen¬ cies and the available funda, I feel that   the   result   is  one  which   will
meet with the approval of tho con- I tributors of the Fund." '
Mr. Abel added:
"Two new national agencies have been Included for the first time thia your. We are now supporting Brandels University and the Jewish War Veterans. Both those organi¬ zations have agreed to refrain from conducting Independent campaigns for operating funds.
"We are sure that our contribu¬ tors will appreciate the merits of Brandels aa tho contribution pf the Jewish community of America to higher education In this country.

Abe Wolman Stress.es Israel Request for Prompt Bond Payments
"It Is of utmost importance that every committor for Israel Bonds who can possibly do so, pay his committment b^ the end of the month."
With this ^rgent statement, Abe A. Wolman, chairman of the Co¬ lumbus Bonds for Israel committee, launched a drive for bond dollars during the remainder of 1902.
^Within the past few days I have
received a long and urgent tele¬ gram from Levi Eshkol, Xarael Minister of Finance. He hoa asked me to convey to the people of Co¬ lumbus bis sincere and earnest re¬ quest that every effort be made to send a maxlmurn of bond dollars to Israel by the end of 1962,'-' Mr. Wol¬ man said.''
Mr.  Eshkol's  cable,    sent    from Jerusalem,  said   In   part:   "In' the
paat few months it was my obliga¬ tion to Qubmit to Government of Israel two financial programs, one dealing with development of coun¬ try and second with balanced bud¬ get of foreign exchange. In both of these budgets extroardlnary reli¬ ance is placed on Income from State of Israel Bonds."
Mr. Wolman continued, "I know that every single person who has
made a pledge to purchase Israel Bonds regards that pledge aa a solemn obligation. I cannot stress too strongly the need for tho pay¬ ment of these pledges at once." . Checks for Israel Bonds should be made payable to the State of Israel and should be sent to the Bonds for Israel Office, 30 E- Broad St. Any required information may be abtalned at FL. 3563.
Bt-andels haa echleved, In ita short existence, a notable record as one of tho best colleges in the U. S., and we can be proud of the fact that our contril?ution will help to con¬ tinue Ita great programs.
"The Jewish War Veterans^ op¬ erating In tho field of assisting vet¬ erans in the securirjg of their bene¬ fits offered by the government and in too fii-Ifi of community relations work with veterans groups, is also a valuable addition to our record of aupport of welfare organizations.
