Noting that the Jewish popu¬ lation in the United States had grown rapidly through large waves of immigration in the last century, forcing American Jews to raise money to aid .their poor, the article recalls that the American Jews, started improv¬ ing their fund-raising techniques about 1895, with the. formation of "the federated charitable fund drive." . .    ¦'.    -

State Department Watching
Israel's Nuclear WeaporiT
Potenflol
\ WASHINGTON (JTA)—The greatest immediate threat of nu- dear proliferation in the Near East is arising In Israel and fu¬ ture aid and loans/ including the pending n-uclear desalination project, may be linked with agreement by Israel to desist from development of atomic weaponry, high-level U. S. sources revealed. iTie subject of Israel's nudear vroapon potential wiU be dosely'observed during 1966, it vvBS said, and measures sought to Inhibit Israeli develop¬ inent along these lines. > • -Stat©- Department officials, meanwhUe, said they had no comment nor confirmation of re¬ ports attributed to American officials that Israel has entered into a secret contract tb bi^r medium-range ballistic missiles from France. The Department sought to publicly dlssodate it¬ self fropi-^Kese reports \yhich some quarters have charged were deliberately "leaked" to ob¬ scure the developing issue of re¬ cently revealed American arms supply arrangements with Jor¬ dan and Saudi Arabia.
THE DEALS vinith Jordan and Saudi Arabia are beginning to draw heavy Congressional fbe. Congressional is o u r c e s believe that the State Departmeht Is subtly and secretly advandng an
Israeli nudear arms question as a timely move to confuse, the basic issue expected to explode next "vreek when Congress re¬ convenes. Members of Congress have diarged that the Adminis¬ tration has embarked on a new pursuit of Arab friendship thiTOUgli excessive arms arrange¬ ments that jeopardize Israei, pro¬ mote ah arms race, and increase Near Eastem tensions. ¦
Rep. Jacob H. GUbert, New York Democrat, caUed for Im¬ mediate reconsideration of the Administiration's dedsion to send arms ' to. Jordan and food to Egypt In.a letter to President Lyndon B. Johnson, the Con¬ gressman said the new dedslons were "iiiimlpal to the interests of Israel and peace."'He pohited out that Egpyt would buy Soviet arms with money saved on food.
