1105 Million Goal For UJA Campaign
The United' JewLsh Appeal has announced that its annual Campaign goal wllj be ,$105,000,000, which i.s $9,000,000 higher than the 1963 goal. The goal was announced at the UJA's 26th annual- conference held in New York City.
• In adopting, the goal, the 2,000 delegates representing hun¬ dreds ot Jewish communities throughout the country, took\par- tlcular cognizance of reports that in the forthcoming year.Um- mtf^ation   to   Israel   will   exceed
even the large migratioi^ of the past 12 months.'The reports em¬ phasized the needs of Jews uprooted by political upheavals in North Af¬ rica.
Robert W. Schiff of 1620 E, Broad St., president pt Shoe Corporation ot America, and prominent Columbus civic leader, has been reelected a 1964 honorary special fund chair¬ man of the nationwide United Jew¬ ish Appeal.
The election was announced Sun¬ day at the closing session of the Appeal's conferencfe. Schiff has been a leader in UJA national activities for many years.
Nearly 650,000 needy Jews in 31 countries on six continents \yere helped during 1963 by the member agencies of the United JewLsh Ap¬ peal, Rabbi Herbert A. Friedman, UJA executive vice-chairman, re¬ ported to a meeting of the national executive cornmittee as 2,000 dele¬ gates assembled this week for the UJA annual national conference.
Rabbi Friedman emphasized that the largest nunfber helped over the past 12 months were in Israel. The 313,000 new and recent immigrants, accounting for almost 50 per cent of the total aided, received a varie¬ ty of welfare services ranging from direct resettlement assistance to rnedicaTtekand physicai rehabili
tation. ' He said  that  the  remainder  of
Jews, in need who were helped, totaling   336.000   men, women   and
children, were largely in European and Moslem lands. Ot this number, he explained, 53,000 were in France. Most of these are refugees trom Algeria, the rest being refugees trom the 1956 revolt in Hungary, and various other refugee move¬ ments.
He called attention to the re¬ settlement in the United States of Jewish^refugees during the year, nodng that 7,000 who came here in >ni^,Bnt} previous years were help-
^d^y the UJA agencies. 'The UJA member agencies are the United Israel Appeal-Jewish Agency for Lsracl, Inc., which is i-esponsible for the transfer to and resettlement in Israel of homeless and oppressed Jews; the Joint Dis¬ tribution Committee, which' aids Jews in social, economic and phy¬ sical distress in 30 countries, Israel included; the New York Associa¬ tion for New Americans, which helps Jewish refugees to resettle in the New York metropolitan area, as the majority do; and the United Hias Service, . the- worldwide Jew ish migration agency which helps Jews njove to counti ies other than to Israel.

HADASSAH-ISRAEL BONDS LUNCHEON TO BE HELD TUESDAY, DECEMBER 17
"The settlement of Israel's unpopulated areas Is the key to the future development ot the country," Mrs. Malcolm Robbins, president of the Columbus Chapter of Hadassah, stated in calling for a gala turnout of Hadassah Women to attend the Israel Bond Luncheon being held at lionka-s Provincial House, Tuesday, Dec. 17 at X2 noon.
"Most of the Negev, as well as large areas of the Galilee, are still very sparsely settled," Mrs. Robbins said. "Because we must provide homes and jobs for a flow of immigrants which is the highest in a decade, Israel cannot afford to let any of its territory remain barren. New communities must be established, industries must be set up, housing must be provided, and irrigation projects must b,e pushed through to com¬ pletion. If these essential programs are to be carried forward without delay, we must have an accelerated flow of investment capital through the medium of State ot Israel Bonds.
Israel Bonds have been a primary source of development funds since 1951, and the country counts heavi¬ ly on ttiem for the future-growth of its economy."
The Israel Bond drive, whose goal isi $75,000,000  for  1963,  helps

Arab newspapers declared that the Papal visit to .Israel would be considered by Arabs as "a recog¬ nition of aggression" against the Arab countries.
While Israel officials indicated that they had not yet received any otficial communication about the t'ope's scheduled visit, tliey went ahead fWith plans for strict security precautions.
Israel's Embassy in Rome for¬ warded to Jerusalerri the text ot the Pope's announcement to the clos¬ ing meeting ot 'the second session of the Ecurrienical Council on his planned visit but officials in Jeru¬ salem said that nothing more had been received. They stressed that everything would be done to accord the Pontiff a "warm and proper welcome." Theyjdenied a report trom Rome that an official of the Pope's-Secretariat had secret con¬ tacts last month with Israeli offi¬ cials about the visit.-
¦Maurice Fisher, Israel's Ambas¬ sador in Rome, said there would not be any difficulties about the visit from the fact that the Vatican has never recognized Israel, 'adding that the Pope's journey "is of pure¬ ly rehgious character." He added that "as tar as diplomatic contacts are concerned, the situation is the same between the Vatican and Jor¬ dan as it is hetween the Vatican and Israel. There are no" established relations but. the' principal- point is that the whole event has nothing to do with pofitics or protocol. There is tree access to the Holy Lanfl tor any  pilgrim."
Chief Rabbi Elio Toaff ot Rome said that "the spontaneous decision of the Pontiff" to visit the Holy Land "was without doubt dictated by profound religi6us motives. Since the   Holy  Places   are   situated  in
