Council Approves Fundraising Plan
After more than a year of study the Council of Organizations of the United Jewish Fund and Council at its meeting Jan. 21, unanimously approved a plan to deal with all philanthropic fund- raising activities conducted In the Jewish community by Jewish organizations.
Harry Schwartz, chairman of the Council of Organizations and the chairman of the Multiple 'Appeals Study Committtee before being elected chairman of the Council, expressed great satis¬ faction in the Council's achievem&it as a major forward step in strength¬ ening the orderly process of con¬ ducting conmiunity business. Though the plan represents prin¬ ciples long agreed upon and cur¬ rently in practice, nevertheless the action of the Council reaffirmed them.
The plan, he stated, clearly rec¬ ognizes the serious problem con. fronting many of the local organi¬ zations who depend upon the suc¬ cess of their appeals to maintain their program and services. The multiplicity of appeals is also the concern pf many contributors. In the adoption of the plan the organi¬ zations ot the Council recognized the primacy of the UJF^ annual drive which supports more than 40 local, national, and overseas organi zations wjipse main source of sup

rich Tillman, -60, died when he plummeted frbm a ninth floor win¬ dow in Cologne. A third medical defendant, Gerhard Bohne, fled last August and reportedly was living in Buenos Aires. The remaining doc¬ tor-defendant is Hans Hefelman. ¦ Heyde, a brilliant doctor, became a professor of psychiatry when he was only 3'?. As a principal in the euthenasia program, one of the most closely guarded secrets ot the Nazi regime from 1939 until 1941 when it was halted under Catholic church pressure, Heyde and his physician associates systematically murdered mentally-ill and retarded children, feeble-minded adults and other "biologically and racially-in¬ ferior" persons to "safeguard the racial purity of the German peo¬ ple."
Although police began an investi¬ gation to determine the cause ot Tillman's fall, it was agreed that rt too was probably an act ot sui¬ cide.

Matzoh Shipments To Russia Permitted
NEW YORK (JTA) t- While the Soviet Union ban on the baking of Matzo remains in force, selected private parcel service firms in the United States, Canada and Israel were reported to have been licensed by the Soviet Parcel Trading Or¬ ganization to accept matzoth par¬ cels for relatives in the Soviet Union on a commercial basis.
A Soviet commercial attache in the United States, Eugerie S. Sher- shev, said that in the United States five firms are licensed to accept such parcels: the Central Parcel Service, Chicago; Globe Parcel Ser¬ vice, New York and Philadelphia; Package Express and Travel Agen¬ cy, Brooklyn; Union Tours Parcel Service, New York; and Cosmos Parcels Express Corp. He indicated that senders abroad may pay cus¬ toms duties at the point of ship¬ ment so that recipients will not have to pay such charges.
is expected to have a greater im¬ pact on Germans than other Nazi war crimes trials because relatives of the euthanasia murder program were mainly Germans. Unlike most of the rest of the Nazi mass mur¬ der program, the killings took place in Germany. The Hadamar Asylum, one of the six centers for the eu¬ thanasia murders, is only a few miles from the Liijiburg courthouse. The case also has wide political ramifications.   Heyde  Was arrest¬
ed by Allied troops In 1945, escaped from TJnited States imprisonment in 1941 and slipped into Schleswig- Holdstein where, as Dr. Fritz Sa¬ wade and with forged Identity pa¬ pers he got a job as a doctor with the Flensburg municipality and worked himself up to medical ad¬ viser for state courts. He was able to do this, though his associates knew about his Nazi past, because" they maintained a conspiracy of silence on his behalf.

Council approved tor UJFC the campaign period of February, March and April.
Mr. Schwartz stated that success of the plan will depend in large measure upon the mutual under¬ standing and cooperation of all or¬ ganizations. Success will not be im¬ mediate. Time and experience will best determine this. Organizations participate on a voluntary basis. •However, for those organizations which are beneficiaries of the UJFC, any fundraising activity on their part, if not already approved, must be approved by the UJFC and "must be guided by the rules agreed upon at the time of becoming a beneficiary.
The committee to undertake the task of implementing the plan is known as the Multiple Appeals Committee. It is being reconstituted and organized to put the program

"Smile, You're on Young Matron's Candid Camera," is the theme of the Young Matron's division of the UJFC worker's rally to be held Tuesday, March 3, at the home of Mrs. Marvin Grossman, 366 S. Stanwood, at 8.15 p.m.

through the eyes qf the TV camera. An original script written and di¬ rected' by Mrs. Schottenstein will be presented and will project the events leading to and resulting in the worker contacting and suofiggs- fully informing her prospect about the fund. The cast ot players in¬ cludes Mrs. Jerome Hackman, Mrs. Norman Fagin and Mrs. Martin Handler.
"So much depends on the work¬ ers and their concern for the needs of fellow Jews," stated Mi's. Gor¬ don Schiffman, 1964 chairman of the Young Matrons division. "With¬ out their ppark of enthusiasm and overall knowledge of th? fund, we could not conduct a successful fund raising campaign," she continued.
Keynote speaker of the rally will be Mrs. Jules Garel, past member of the division's Steering Commit¬ tee and a member of its Speaker's Bureau. She will emphasize the con¬ tinuing needs of the Jewish immi¬ grants  and  relay   pertinent  up-to-

Forty agencies depend on the Jewish community of Columbus, for support financially. "Just the thought of the Jewish Center, for example, having to delete its ser¬ vices because we did not put forth that extra effort for funds, would mean a great deal of unhappiness to the children of our community," stated  Mrs.   Garel.
