Herbert H. Schiff of Col¬ umbus, a member otthe Na¬ tional Campaign Cabinet ot the United Jewish Appeal, has been named to the UJA's National Cash Committee which is directing the Ap¬ peal's $40,000,000CashCol- lectlon Campaign, It was an¬ nounced today by Albert B. Adelman of Milwaukee, Chairman of the nationwide cash drive.
"Critical fiscal !;hortages combined with rising human needs threaten to curtail the vast relief and rehabilitation programs conducted by UJA agencies in Israel and 30 other overseas countries," Adelman said.
"To avert the human suf¬ fering threatenedby the Fund shortage," Adelman added, "the UJA has appotaited a 54-man Nationai Cash Com¬ mittee made up of key lead¬ ers of Jewish communities In all sections of the country to speed the collection ot $40,000,000 in cash troni pledges made thus tar to. this year's UIA campaign tor $75,620,000. It is Im¬ perative that the desper¬ ately needed cash sum be brought  in by June  30."
Urgent pleas that all con¬ tributions made to the 1967 campaign of the Uiited Jew¬ ish Fund and Council be turned into cash as soon as possible were sent out this past week, when tbe first billing ot current pledges was mailed to all contributors. Those who iiave not made payments to date are urged to do so without delay.

The Conference of Presi¬ dents of M^)or American Jewish Organization saldthe-   , action by BOAC "repudiates the  Chicago Convention oC   ' which Pakistan la a signa-  , tory." The convention de-     ; dares that "the ^es are-   - tree passage for cl\dl air-   , lines^  The  statement also   ¦ asserted that the BOAC ac¬ tion was "a challenge to every countiy" whlchpledg- ed cooperation to the United Nattons In maldng the 1967 LMernatlonal Tourist Year. ' a great world effort''?to stfe   , mulate intemational under- y" standing through the medium of tourism.
THE CONFERENCE of Presidents otM^or Ameri¬ can Jewish Organizations has no choice but to bring these tacts to the attention of the constituencies of its aftiiiated organizations across the country. We hope that BOAC will be moved to renew its flights through Israel to the Far East in keeping - with the spirit of Intemational Tourist Year."
