Joseph Almogi, Israel's Minister of Labor, Genera] Shmuel of the Israel Air Force and Gerald Colbum, Campaign Chairman of Milwaukee, spoke eloquently and movingly of the critical situation in which Israel finds itself at this point in time. "It is five minutes to midnight,"' stated Mr. Almogi. "We are in desperate 'need of help, primarily bjBcause of our rapidly escalitting and un¬ precedented defense costs. These take, more than 90 percent of our .budget, and have forced the elimination of budget appropriations for health, welfare and education needs." >[
The action by the Board bf Trustees follows similar action taken by the Council 'Of Jewish Federations & Welfare Funds, at its board meetuig on Sept.. 12, when it unanimously^' adopted a Resolution, supporting Israel's , request ^ irom American Jewry "of $400,000,000 of the one billion dollar goal -which has been
set for world-wide Jewry to raise for Israel in 1971.
The following statement was unanimously adopted by the more than 250 Presidents, Campaign Chairmen and Executives of the largest Jewish Federations in America:
"We are convinced beyond doubt that ,$400 million is most urgently needed by the UJA. These are times of crisis. They involve the most critical needs - the most critical responsibilities - by far, we have ever carried.
'"At the same time, our action must provide for pressing needs here at home -, needs which require in- ,creased gifts for our regular fund - just to meet the rising costs of inflation,and to deal with pressures of problems that do not stand still, for which action cannot be delayed. "
"Tliese needs must be assessed most earnestly by each community, so that it will concentrate ' its^ resouices on its most im¬ portant priorities - in the
Egypt f Soviet Union PushFor General Assembly Debate
UNITED NATIONS, (JTA)-Delegations to the Geiieral Assembly are gearing themselves for a full-scale debate this week on the Middle East. The crunch is coming from the .Arab slates Which are ac- cusihg;the United States and IsraeT'of; torpedoing the Mideast peace talks uridei* Ambassador Gunnar y. Jarring. Egypt's Foreign Minister. Mahmoud Riad, Ayho was reported yesterday to have warned ^that Egypt would not reiiew the 9(^day cease-fire with Isirael which ends midnight Nov. 5, is diie to  address   the   General
Assembly toward the end of' .the week. Informed sources here jsaid Mr. Riad is ex¬ pected to ask the General Assembly to impose sanc¬ tions on Israel for its con¬ tinued occupation rpf Arab territories. Al|Sthe same time, Egypt has mounted a concerted drive to pressure the U.S. and Israel to resume the pieace talks which were - temporarily suspended on Oct. 2 when Dr. Jarring > returned to Jhis post in Mosco\y as Swedish am¬ bassador to the Soviet Union. Dr. Jarring is schedilied to return to UN headquarters this week.   Indications are
that Egypt watits the peace talks resumed despite iiharges by the U.S. sOid Israel that numerous violations of the cease-fire standstill accord continue. Mr. Riad, it was reported from Cairo, "Stated that' Egypt would agree to extend the cease-fire only if Israel "agrees to contact Jarring and'declares she is ready to carry'^ut the Security Council resolution (of Nov. 22, 1%7)." Israel withdrew from the. peace talks last month after charging Egypt with continued violations of the truce accord.   Ttie U.S.

Too Early To Evaluate Egypts Condition For Cease Fire Ext.
JERUSALEM, Oct. 11 (JTA)rPremier Golda Meir said in reply to a question at today's cabinet'meeting that it.was too early to evaluate Egyptian Foreign Minister Mahmoud Riad's statement that Egypt would agreie to a cease-fire extension only if Israel returned to the GunnarV. Jarringrled peace talks, Mts. Meir observed that an authorized version of the stateinent was not yet at hand, but : reiterated that Israel would return to the talks onlyifter a rollback of
the SAM missiles illegally emplaced in the standstill zone by Egypt with the aid of Soviet personnel. Political circles here called' Mr, Riad's threat hollow. By-all the rules of logic, they said, Egypt must want a truce epctension, but "In the Middle East men'sactions are not always guided by logic. Thus one can never know." The political circles also noted an article ihiPravda, the Soviet Communist Parly newspaper, that said a truce extension would be "a blow
to the plans of Washington and Tel Aviy,"; indicating
-Kremlin interest in an ex¬ tension. The source added that Egypt's aniipunced intention to seek  the .j^ijc-
' pulsion of Israel from'j^ihe United Nations was notMbe taken fearfully, biit tiiat nevertheless Israel is "getting ready to meet the onslaught," The sources said it was ^certain, that Egypt could not have niade such -a proposal without ftiU coordination' vvith the Kremlin.
same spirit that Israel is limiting its funds to its most - urgent priorities. "TTiis applies also to capital ftmds.  We have full  con¬ fidence in the maturity, ' judgment and iiitegrity with .. which each community will do this -.'delaying what can ' be delayed - doing only what must be done,
"The days and months ahead are .days and months, of: sperilous decision. The most%e can possibly do will be required of us. IT MUST BE DONE."
With the United States accepting a quota of $400 million, Canailian, Western European South African and South American coimtrie^ are being asked to raise $200 million. Israel is also seeking a world wide Bond sale of $400 million^for economic developm.ent, which will total the one hiUion dollars sought, sutetantially more than was raised immediately after the Six-Day War in 1967, but considered a minimum for the critical needs of Israel.
, In reviewing the action of the CJF, and after hearing at first hand of'these critical needs and the crisis which faces Israel, the -Board of Trustees of the United Jewish Fund and Council unanimously adopted the followuig Resolution:'
1. Ih view of the magnitude of Israel's tremendous biirden to proyide fbr and to maintain its miUtary and defenscposture, to secure and protect its nation and its people with .social services,
uhousingi.etc., all of which it is imoB^b'do economically,

($400 million for Israel and $100 million for domestic nebds.) It is the sense of those attending this meeting that a goal of $3,QOO,000 be approved' by the Board of Trustees for .both the Regular. Fund and'the Israel Emergency Fundi
2. In view of the crisis in Israel and the un- prece»dehted magnitude and herculean taisk of raising $3,000,000, tvvice the aimbimt achieved in the highly successful 1970 Campaign; and, in view bf the fact that a maximum effort will be required by the leaders and workers, along with maxijnum: and un^ precedented levels of givingi it is the sense of this group that, nocapital fund cam¬ paigns be undertaken by the'
