UJA GOAL SET AT $100,000,000
The board of (Jirectora of the United Jewish Fund unanimously approved Its participation in the 1057 $100,000,000 Emergency Res¬ cue Fund of the United Jewish Appeal. At the Jan. 5 meeting: of the board. Richard J. Abel, mem¬ ber of tho National Cabinet of the United Jewish Appeal, and Aaron Zacks, 1057 Campaign chairman of the Fund, presented and explaltied the request of the UJA.
UJA reports that Jewish refu¬ gees are npw in flight. They are in need ot rescue and relief. Their numbers are mounting -by the thousands. It ts estimated that in 1057 there will be at least 100,000 Jews In such circumstances as they flee Hungary, Egypt, East European countries and North Africa.
In Egypt, anti-Jewish laws have been enacted appropriating private Jewish properties, se¬ questering communal property, withdrawing citizenship and even expelling Jews. Several thousands have already left Egypt.
Wherever Jews arc escaping or being expelled the Joint Distribu¬ tion Committee, one of the major beneficiaries of the UJA, has been providing relief, housing, clothing and means ot transportation for places of haven, Britain, France, Austria, Italy, South America, United States and othor coun¬ tries.
The Jewlah Agency* the other major bepeflclary. Is taHttiS. Into Israel all those seeking refugo there. Israel Is the only county
imniAttlcited Haven'for ihe^Jaws^ TM SnaeYgenoy Rescue Fund recognizes the tight security sit¬ uation which still prevails In Is¬ rael. Israel will be In no position to bear c^ny part of the huge costs of the humanitarian work of rescuing, receiving and absorb¬ ing these newcomers.
The $100,000,000 national goal la above and beyond the regular 1957 needs of the UJA. In agree¬ ing to participate In this national emergency effort, the UJF agreed to Include the Emergency Res¬ cue Fund as a corollary effort to the regular campaign for 1057 which includes local, regional, national and overseas benefici¬ aries.
All contributors will be asked to support the Emergency Res¬ cue Fund above and beyond their contribution to the regular cam¬ paign.

United Jewish Fund Select 1957 Campaign Hesids
Mrs. Harry Getz, 2703 Sherwood Ave., and Mrs. Ben Tenkln, 2455 Bryden Rd., have been selected as co-chairmen for tbe Women's Di¬ vision of the 1067 United Jewish Fund campaign, It was announced by the Women's Advisory Council of the UJF.
The selection of those capable women to direct one of the great¬ est campaigns in Columbus United Jewish Fund history has been whole-heartedly endorsed by Samuel Shlnbach, president of tha Fund, and Aaron Zaclcs, 1957 Campaign chairman.
Upon accepting the role of co- chairman, Mrs, Getz directed a personal appeal to the women. She stated:
"Each woman should feel an individual and personal respon¬ sibility to give both of servloe and funds. We should feci the ur¬ gency now more than ever and must give beyond what we gave last year, knowing full well what is in store for our brothers over¬ seas if we do not extend the helping hand they need.
"In setting Up the work for the tremendous program ahead, your chairmen and the Advisory Council sensed an eager desire for cooperation as the various women were called upon to ac¬ cept their jobs. This aggressive spirit in the top level ranks of i the Women's Division indicates to me that we are destined for . the most successful campaign yet. i This feeling sets the pace and will be generated, we hope, through the majors and workers who reach every Jewish woman In Co¬ lumbus."
Mrs. Yenkin expressed her deep feeling for the urgency of having a successful campaign this year. She commented:
"Jews have always been in the forefront In th'e fight against the subjugation either of mind or body by willful men, but we Jewsj. being a small group, must fight not with power, but with thought and with a feeling of oneness with fellow Jews throughout the world. Wc fight with contribu¬ tions to the United Jewish Fund for thofie who are not fortunate enough to live In a democracy such as ours.
