Mr, Fink visited Israel In 1954 and observed the Immigrant ab¬ sorption program of Israel.
Both of these UJA leaders have an authoritative knowledge of UJA's current program to help cope with the greatest Jewish re¬ fugee crisis In a decade.
To meet the refugee crisis in 1957 the UJA set up an Emer¬ gency Rescue Fund to obtain maximum resources over and a- bove the proceeds from its regu¬ lar nationwide campaign.

Proceeds from both the Emer¬ gency Rescue Fund drive and the regular UJA campaign are finan¬ cing the life-saving work of UJA's - constituent agencies — United Israel Appeal, Joint, Dis¬ tribution Committee and New York Association for New Ameri¬ cans.
In addition, Rescue Fund allo¬ cations are going to United-Hlas Service, which aids Jewish immi¬ grants in countries other than Israel.
Besides aiding the 100,000 refu¬ gees the UJA-supported agencies are providing welfare, rehabilita¬ tion, medical and educational as¬ sistance to more than 500,000 newcomers In Israel and <ll8- tressed and dependent Jews In a score of other countries.
