(JTA)-The Special Political Com¬ mittee of the General Assembly decided to postpone Its voting on the resolution dealing with the Arab refugee problem. The decision to postpone the voting for a day was taken after the representative of the Netherlands said that he must consult his government on the revised draft of the resolution which was introduced jointly by Indonesia and Pakistan. The Netherlands' motion was supported by the delegates ot the United Kingdom and New Zea¬ land. The delegates from Indo¬ nesia and Pakistan, while agree¬ ing to the postponement of a vote on their resolution, stressed that the revised text Included a for¬ mula for continuing the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for the Arab refugees which, they believed, was acceptable to the Arab countries aa well as to the donor countries. SPEAKINCS on behalf of the United States delegation, M. Han- cher told the conunittee that the FINAL SERVICE AT BRYDEN ROAD SET The final service at Temple Is¬ rael, 925 Bryden Rd., will be con¬ ducted by Dr. Jerome D.

Broad St., in October. The new Temple Israel will be dedicated on the week-end ot Dec. 18-20, For his sermon on this Friday, Dr. Foikman has selected the title: "Farewell to Bryden Road." During the intervening week be¬ tween the farewell service at the Bryden Roal Temple and the Dedication Services, officers ot the Congregation will join with the Rabbis in a private ceremony during which the Eternal Light in the Bryden Road Temple will be extinguished and the Sacred Scrolls win be removed to the new building.

(JTA)—All the money that the United Jewish Appeal raises is given only to welfare organizations for humanitarian needs, and "none of it is given anywhere else," William Rosenwald, noted American Jewish leader and national chairman of the UJA, declared here. Rosenwald spoke here at (Congregation Mishkan Israel trom the same pulpit where a week ago James P. Warburg, publicist and former banker, attacked the United Jewish Appeal, and urged American Jews not to contribute to it. Rosenwald told his audience: "THE SUPPORT which Ameri¬ can Jews give to the UJA carries with It no endorsement ot the policies of Israel's government, foreign and domestic. What this support does say in the most eloquent and meaningful terms is that the Jews of American under¬ write the human needs which the UJA was founded to meet. Stres¬ sing that UJA funds have been used to save and rebuild the lives of Jews In need or danger through¬ out the world, Rosenwald com¬ mented that Warburg "could not have been more reckless of the facts as they apply to the UJA, than he waa in hla address." The United Jewish Appeal has raised funds in annual drives since 1939, when It was brought Into being to aid Jews persecuted by Hitler. In more than two dec¬ ades it has provided monies for the feeding, shelter, migration and re-establlshment of oppressed and distressed Jewish populations throughout the world. UJA funds have aided 2,700,000 persons, help¬ ing to resettle 1,300,000 ot these .in tree lands throughout the world. Including Israel and the United States. Rosenwald, who from 19BB to 1957 was the general chairman of the UJA campaign, named the four agencies which receive funds raised by the UJA. He said these Included first, the Jewish Agency tor Israel, the "philanthropic or¬ ganization which has the respon¬ sibility for the transportation and absorption of newcomers in Is¬ rael." He stressed "this Is a vast job Involving housing, farm settle- mesnts, social service and other forms ot aid to the refugees who have streamed In." SECOND, Rosenwald said, UJA funds go to "The American Joint Distribution Ctommlttee, which has relief and rehabilitation pro¬ grams in 2S countries outside of Israel." He added that the JDC also conducts a special welfare program In Israel known as Mal¬ ben "in behalf of the sick, the aged and the handicapped Inuni- grants to Israel." The third recipient of UJA funds, he noted, "is the New York Association for New Americans, which has the responsibility for Jewish refugees who come to America and who settle In the New York metropolitan area." The fourth UJA beneficiary in recent years has been the United Hias Service which resettles Jews who are able to immigrate to coun¬ tries other than Israel. The UJA leader declared, "when one contributes fo the UJA he does so with the understanding that his money will be used for humanitarian purposes—for res¬ cuing lives, for providing the homeless with a home, for re¬ storing health to the sick, for giving hope to the aged and the handicapped, for providing the untrained with vocational skills and tor giving fellow Jews in need the basic necessities of life."

Leading representatives of American Jewish communities all over the country will be there to rededicate themselves to the great cause of helping their fellow Jews In need. American delegation would sup¬ port the revised text of the reso¬ lution. He said that it represented a "delicate compromise" whicfi seems to be tho maximum that could bo achieved under the oir- cumstanoos. Ho called • for In¬ creased financial support by other govemraonts to the UNRWA. Arthur Lourle, hood of the Is¬ rael delegation, reserving his right to spook again at a later stage on the draft resolution, said that tosotar as tho United States delegate had stated that the reso¬ lution represented a compromise, he wished to state that It waa a compromise on which the delega¬ tion of Israel was not consulted in advance and to which IsrCiel was not a party. It is knowm that Israel opposes the revival of the Palestine (ConcUlatloti Commis¬ sion which the resolution recom¬ mends. The resolution as proposed now would provide for the reactiva¬ tion of the Palestine Conciliation (Commission, Instructing It to make further efforts in the direc¬ tion ot securing the implementa¬ tion of an 11-year-old UN resolu¬ tion calling tor repatriation of the Arab refugees or payment of com¬ pensation to them. The draft reso¬ lution also recommends the con¬ tinuing of the U?JnWA for a period of three years with a re¬ view at the end of two years. THE RESOLUTION calls at¬ tention to the "precarious finan¬ cial position" of the UNRWA and urges goverpments to consider contributing or increasing their contributions.
