$750,000 Campaign Goal Set By U.j.rlil ioard
A goal of $750,000,was adopted by the Board of Trustees of the United Jewish Fund and CouncU for its 1966 Campaign. This goal, it was reported, will provide minimum and urgently needed funds for more than 40 local, regional, national and overseas beneficiaries of the UJFC. .
At the board meeting, Herman M. Katz, chairman of the AUocations Committee, presented in detaU the report of the Biidget Steering Committee which had
been adopted by the Executive Committee. The 1965 Cam¬ paign had successfully raised $689,000, approximately $60,000 more than the previous year.. An examination of the budgetary re¬ quirements of th^ agencies sup; ported.by the annual drive'clearl , ly indicated that, beyond normal ' increased costs,:. substantial funds must be raised,    i
IN COLIIMBUS the .Fund al¬ located $171,924 for local iserv- ices in 1965—^Heritage House, the Jewish Center, Cblumbus Hebrew School, Jewish FamUy Service, Community Relations, HlUel Foundation at OSU, the .Blood Dohctr Councir and year- round services of UJFC.
Most of these agencies, it was indicated, have operated with limited and restricted funds. These services directly benefit many of Columbus' more than 3300 famUies. These are the services which strengthen, which enrich, which help bur own peo¬ ple to live and to enjqy a better Jewish life.

The danger of new pressures for unlimited escala- tioa'or^e^'War resulting from llmpatience and disappointment Is grave indeed, "the Jewish leaders cautioned. Such an. es¬ calation' would not oiUy fail to achieve our goals; it would also ultimately involve the World in aware of  mutual   destmctlon."
"Our reUgious conscience com¬ pels us to exert every Influence
so that the action in Viet Nam can be moved from the battie- fleld to the negotiating table," the Synagogue CouncU state¬ ment said."We recognize that those who see the need for checkhig Communist subversion by mUitar^ means are no less dedicated to the cause of a Just world peace than those who be¬ Ueve the United States must cease hostilities In Viet Nam. We do believe, however, that the imperatives of our religious Hcommitemnts'call for the recom¬ mendations we prayerfiilly put forward and commend to the at¬ tention of our synagogues throughout the land "
