Jews in Israel, according to Mr. Ginsberg.
"The vital humanitorian programs are programs.^ we instituted," said Mr. Gin¬ sberg, an(l they are and have always been our traditional responsibility. Israel cannot help support them, because of the staggering daily ex¬ penditures on defense."
Morris Mattiin, Associate Treasurer of the UJFC, and"^' Ira Monroe, head the large C^sh Collections Committee, which has been calling for payment of all or part of current pledges, so that the social welfare fabric of Israeli life can be main¬ tained on an even keel, l^y a continuous and increasing flow of cash to the United Jewish Appeal.
