Jewry Responds; More Is Needed
EDITOR'S NOTE: The response in Columbus to tiie Israel ISmergency Fund iias lieen overvvtielmlng, as it iias throughout the country. The crisis, however, is far from over, and any feeling that there is no more' need for cash now that the fighting has stopped is false. The need is as great or greater than it has been--it Is'not too late to demonstrate our solid¬ arity with Israel either through the Israel Emergency Fund or the purchase-of Israel Bonds. JThe time to give is now--- the way to give is as never before.
NEW YORK, (JTA) — The CouncU of Jewish Federations and Welfare Funds, of which the UTFC in Columbus is a member, issued a report on the accelerated efforts being made in the communities throughout the country to reach every Jewish family for contributions to the Israel Emer¬ gency Fund of the United Jewish Appeal.
The report emphasized that on entering the second vteOk of "the- unparalleled mag¬
nitude of giving" for Israel's humanitarian needs the res¬ ponse of the communities continues to be "almost be¬ yond belief." But, it added, maqy contributors in the communities have not yet been reached for their gift. "They need only to betall(ed to; their response is cer¬ tain,"'.the CJFWF stated. The report said that screening of all givers ot $1,000 or more to the rejg- ular campaigns was under¬ way for personal solicit¬ ations of contributors in that category- who had not yet
' made gifts to the Emergency ,Fund. For contributors tothe regular  campaign in.the ia®tf*^of r$1005«fo?$l;000,^* asories of Aind-raising.,
, meetings was being sched-.. uled. In some communities, the report said, the normal campaign structure was being reactivated. In others,' individuals were being in-- vited to attend at least one of the several meetings scheduled in almost every Jewish community.-
The Jewish Welflare Fed¬ erations of San-Francisco reported that the drive was well over $1,000,000 after an <9enlng meeting brought $786,000 from 26 contribut¬ ors. Top gifts included $125,000 and two of $100,000, one of them added to a reg¬ ular $35,000. The Federation remitted $1,800,000 in fiill (»i its 1966 commitment to UJA and an additional cash payment of $1,000,000 on current regular and special emergency gifts.
THE COMBINED Jewish Philanthropies of Bostonre- ported contributions of more than'$3,500,000 to the Em¬ ergency Fund. The CJp said. gifts to the Fund were aver¬ aging twice as much as reg¬ ular gifts and thatthe spread was growing. The CJP has already remitted $4,150,000 to the UJA.

Israeli Consul Visits Columbus
BY MICHAEL FEINSTEIN
Chaim A. Salaman, Consul of Israel (Economic Affairs) for' the Mid-West and also director of the Government oflsrael Investment Author¬ ity for the Mid-West, visited Columbus this weeli and was interviewed by this reporter Sunday in < his hotel suite. - Salaman; who was inlsrael during the war and has just returned recently, spol<e on the state of Israel's economy prior, to kthe war and then what the war has done, both directly and indirectly, to her econoniy today.
PniOB TO the war Israel was experiencing what was termed a recession, caused in part by the Government itself and compounded by an unforeseen factor. Accord¬ ing to him the econcony was. "hot" — Its Gross National Product had been high for some time and the govern¬ ment decided to slow it down. What they did not plan on,, however, was a rapid dip ini immigration. This caused a^ slowdown in the building in¬ dustry which spread to as¬ sociated industries and made a slowdown policy more ef¬ fective than desired.
