Rabbi Friedman, the featured speaker at the dinner, la consider¬ ed one. of the most dynamic of thla country's Jcwiah leaders and a gifted spokesman In Jewish af¬ fairs. He has been a key force in the UJA since the defeat o^ the Nazi tyranny 10 years ago set In motion the multi-million dollar drives for aid to distressed and op¬ pressed Jews in- overseas lands.
The UJA executive vice-chair¬ man has achieved an outstanding record of leadership in- humanitar¬ ian endeavors, as a rabbl, as an army chaplain, as assistant advis¬ or on Jewish Affairs to the Com¬ manding General of U.S. Occupa¬ tion Forces, in Germany, and as a member of the United Jcwiah Ap¬ peal's   active   leadership.    In    this
last role, over the post decade ho played an important part in the rescue and rehabilitation of more than 1,000,000 men, women and children, and in the ralaing of many millions of dollars for that work.
He served In 1945 els a chaplain with the 9th Infantry Divlalon, which earlier yiat year had liber¬ ated aome 30,000 Jewlah survivors of Nazi concentration camps in Southern Bavaria. Then he was called to serve as an army chap^ lain in Berlin. As the only Jewish chaplain in the bombed-out city, he swung Into action to help pro¬ vide food, clothing and shelter both for survivors of Hitler'a ex¬ termination camps and for those who began to flee the riae of Com¬ munism in Eastern Europe.

eph S. Summer.
Mellman Is the new member of this group. The.others have aerved year after year. Kahn said:
"Special appreciatloji is due these men because of the extra time involved In making thla kind of solicitation. They have the task
of telling tbe story to each con¬ tact. Most of the folks theae men win contact acldom have the op¬ portunity to attend meetings In Co¬ lumbua where noted apeakers out¬ line the needs."
Kuhn   reported good  progress  In all divisions of the campaign, with
many volunteers who look forward to  the  challenge  with  enthusiasm.
"The responses we are receiving are gratifying, particularly whon we think of the goal of more than $740,000 which we have accepted.
"Forty agencies that depend up¬ on   us   require  the  maximum   pos¬
sible support. We must do every¬ thing we can to make the United Jewish Appeal Special Survival FSind a success.
"If we can continue with the same enthusiasm we now have until the campaign is finished, we can be juatiflcably proud."
