The World's Week
Compilad from JTA  Reporh

In Johannesburg, Dr. Teddy Schneider, chairman of the South African Jewish Board of Deputies staled that the Republic of South Africa "would do much better if the out¬ side world would leave it alone to tackle its own problems."
In Tel Aviv, It was learned that the United States may grant Israel some financial aid to help it buy Hawk anti¬ aircraft missiles.
The final plana for the Colum¬ bus Torah Academy Scholarship Dinner have been executed. The C3oIumbus Jewish (Community Js looking forward to this sparkling affair, to be this Sundaiy, Nov. 11, in the Grand Ballroom of the Deshler Hilton Hotel at 6 p.m.
Members of the audience have been promised a varied and rich program. In addition to a gala dinner, fare to arouse the spirit, the emotions and awaken hilari¬ ty has been provided.
RABBI iSiAAO SWIFT, the elo¬ quent former Chief Rabbi of Aus¬ tralia, will address the group.
"The Witch," a play by Gold¬ faden, will be presented in trans¬ lation from Yiddish to Hebrew by students in the fifth grade under the direction of Sidney Berkowltz.
The evening will end ^ylth a monologue by Alein King. Alan ing, who has been referred to as "the average man's Schopen¬ hauer" Is one of the most excit¬ ing comic personalities to attract the attention of the American public in many a year. King is noted for his biting and clever commentary on American Itfe, presented often on leading tele¬ vision programs. He has appear¬ ed in major nightclubs all over the United States, packing in the audiences, and reducing them to helpless laughter. He has appear¬ ed in comipany with Judy Gar¬ land, Tony Martin, Pattl Page and Lena Home. He has made several movies, and has been a panelist on "What's My Line" and "I've Got a Secret."
King is a special favorite in England, where he has appeared on some 20 occasions. In 1958, he was summoned to perform at the Royal CJommand Performance, the only American so honored. On being presented to Queen Eaizabeth, she told him that she watched him on television ail the time.
A YOUNG MAN, not yet 35, King started life in Brooklyn and did his stint in the Borsht Cir¬ cuit. His brand of humor will es¬ pecially appeal to the residents of suburtoia, many of whom will be at the Torah Academy dinner. Their comjplacency in their way of life will have amusing and perhaps thought-provoking jabs provlde;d by King in his mono¬ logue.
The ad book Is now in the pro¬ cess of printing, as has been an¬ nounced by Mrs. Ivan Roman- liof and Mrs. Alfred Rudnick, Women's ad book chairtnen. Je¬ rome Schottenstein, financial co¬ ordinator of the dinner, announc¬ ed that tho ad campaign has reached   a   victorious   conclusion.

These leaders in the Torah Academy cause look for¬ ward to greeting a large group in the community this coming Sunday evening.

Concern For Jews' Needs Is Top UJFC Goal
The speech given by William V. Kahn, 1961-1962 president, at the Annual Meeting of the; United Jowish Fund and Council con¬ tains a number of basic and in¬ terpretive ideas The Chronicle ia reprinting significant excerpts from  that speech.
"The UJFC htis many mean¬ ings for many persons, but for me its prime objective is, and must be, a concern for Je/wihii people translated into meeting adequately their needs through the agencies and institutions we support in Columbus, in Ameri¬ ca and overseas. These needs are attained, however, at different levels and at different times in the life of the community through 'a^ great deal of hard work upon the part of many peo¬ ple working in concert wJth one another through the instrument of the UJFC.
"BECAUSE OF THIS common effort, tens of thousands of our Jewlah people overseas have heard the sounds of the Shofar thia year and have had their spirit and courage renewed. The uncertainty of the future in atrange lands has been lessened by the knowledge that American Jewa atill remain by their side until they cstn again atand on their 6w'n.'	
"When our 1962 (Campaign started it was estimated that there would be a sdzeable Increase in the annual immigration. This Immigraton has been more than doubled, placing heavy financial burdens on the Joint Distribu¬ tion Committee, the Jewish Agency and United HIAS. From the information and reports I have been receiving no lot down can be anticipated for the months ahead.
"No one would deny the needs of our elderly people at Heritage House where new life haa come to many in their advanced years. In  a setting which meets  inteili-

gently the limitations of those in their later years. There is no one who would deny having a weii-deveioped program of ser¬ vices at our Jewish Cfenter for ail age levels, for all members ot the family, in a fully satisfying Jewish setting, well Integrated within the American scene where cultural pluralism is welcomed, rather than denied. Nor would anyone deny the care which must be given to New Americans who have come from foreign lands to make a new home in strange surroundings. No one would dis¬ courage adequate support and encouragement of Jewish educa¬ tion for every young girl or boy, and for that matter, for every adult. We should not want to see a lessening of the work of our year round community relations programs which secures minority rights, prevents anti-aemitism, atrengthena civil liberties, the bedrock of American freedom and provides us with the oppor¬ tunity to express our Judaism in a  satisfying  way.
"WE ALSO LIVE in a national Jewish community in which the Jews of America must share with one another both thedr funds and services for common purposes whether   health   and   welfare   or
the national service agencies such as the National Jewish Welfare Board, our own Council of Jew¬ ish Federations and Welfare Funds or the American Associa¬ tion of Jewish Education. Our record ot support for all of these programs h£is been a good one. . .
"Through our Fund and Coun¬ cil we have made progress with deliberate speed yet with prudent use ot conununity funds. This has been clearly demonstrated by the careful and elaborate budget and planning machinery at our dis¬ posal. The disbursement of com¬ munity funds is a carefully guarded trust. We have not, I admit, pleased everyone. Yet we believe our decisions have been sound community decisions, re¬ flecting as nearly as we could, balance and  reasonableness.
"WE ARE  INDEBTED  to the
participation of hundreds of vol¬ unteers and leaders in the fund and in our agencies who annual¬ ly contribute not only their nioney but their time .and talents so that ail this is possible. Equal¬ ly we appreciate the dedication of our professional and agency personnel who maintain and di¬ rect our services on a  dally ba-
