X ~ RELIplOUS NEWSSERVICE PHOTO By Joseph Polakoff WASHINGTON, (JTA) - Congressional sources ex¬ pressed deep concern Dec. .3 over apparently well- lased reports that the Ford Administration has chopped ¥800 million from Israel's re- (Rested $2.3 billion ih finan¬ cial assistance in the 1978 U.S. fiscal year that starts next Oct. l. Reports that the reduction of more than a thira" of the amount' Israeli Defense Minister Shimon Peres had asked for was necessary in view of' increased costs caused by inflation is not yet official. Spokesmen at the" , White House, the State De¬ partment-and the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) told the Jewish Tele¬ graphic Agency, that the budget is not yet finished and until it is made public, changes can be made in it. However, the JTA learned that the budgeting decisions on the Middle East have been' completed. President Ford is to present the budget to congress about Jan. 17, three days before he leaves office. The new Congres convenes Jan. 4. By law tht / new budget must be preX . sented 15 days after Con¬ gress meets. "If the Administration wants to destroy the chances. of the moderates in Israel to - win the election in „ the spring, this is the way to do it," one Congressional source said in expressing the view that the cut would strengthen the opposition in Israel because it would indi¬ cate a lessening of U.S. int¬ erest in Israel's well being. Another commented that the cut could be a fatal blow to Premier Yitzhak Rabin's . ' retention of power since he .had commented, favorably during the U.S., election cam¬ paign on Ford's record' toward Israel. James Lynn, director of the OMB, was seen as having ; persuaded the President to reduce Israel's requested $1.5 billion in military credits and $800 million in economic supporting assist¬ ance. Lynn was said to have fought granting assistance to Israel for the three-month transition between the 1976 1977 UJF Campaign Shows Successful Beginning The 1977 United Jewish Fund Gampaign (UJFO, under, the chairmanship of Irving JS, Schottenstein, be¬ gan with one of .the Fund's most successful efforts. At an Advance Gifts Par¬ lor meeting, November 23 at the home' of Leslie N, Wexner,,a traditional event for the past two years, 25-. contributors present pledged over $1,000,000, representing ' a 15% increase of the gifts of those present, compared > with their 1976 gifts. Never in the history of the UJFC was so much raised, at so early a time in a non-crisis setting.

Blatt, Millard Cummins, William Glick, Murray Greenberg, Herbert Grossman, George M. Levine, Marvin Katz, Myer, Meliman, Tom Lurie, Samuel M. Melton, John B. Resler, Sanford B. Sanford, Herbert H. Schiff; Melvin Schottenstein, Marvin. Silberstein, B. Lee Skilken, Morris Skilken, Ernest Stern, Leslie Wexner, Jack Wallick, Gordon Zacks, Mrs. Harry Wexner, MrsrSamhel M. Melton, Irving Schotten¬ stein and Adolph Sommer. Young Men's Orientation Day Results In Increase Of 128.9% The Young Mens Division of the United Jewish Fund Campaign held one of the most' successful campaign events in its history whenR. Alan Rudy, a distinguished lay leader from Houston, Texas, was the guest at the Young Men's Workers Orientation Day which was conducted on December 19 at the Holiday. Inn Airport. - The program .commenced with introductory remarks by Dennis' Meliman, 1977 chairman of the Young Men's Division. Irving Schottenstein, 1977 General Campaign chairman -re¬ ported on the progress of the campaign and noted that it is showing- an overall, sub¬ stantial increase. | I Mr. Rudy, the 1975-76. na¬ tional chairman' of the- United Jewish Appeal's Young Leadership Cabinet, reviewed the current econo¬ mic situation in Israel and sensitized the 25 workers to the severe economic crisis. Mr. Rudy, along with Jeff Paine and Dennis Meliman, conducted a mock solicita¬ tion. This was done in order to teach the workers -the "do's and don'ts" of ef-- fective solicitation. Follow¬ ing the discussion of solici¬ tation ' techniques, the workers divided into four groups. After intense discus¬ sions within each group, the workers made their 1977 committments.' . '. Mr. Meliman stated, "The results of this orientation were phenomenal. We registered an increase of 128.9% on 15 cards. With this kind of committment from - • our workers, the 1977 cam¬ paign will most assuredly be a great success." Following this meeting, individual solicitations have been taking place in all divi¬ sions, in addition to several fund-raising affairs. At a worker's training session of the Advance Gifts Division, 13 workers pledged $132,155 as compared to their 1976, gifts of $110,000, for a 20% increase. The total results to date represent $1,157,615 com¬ pared to $1,028,471 for 133 gifts. The leadership of all the divisions are heartened- by this initial response and are confident that this year's campaign can achieve a sub¬ stantially greater amount against last year's achieve¬ ment of $2,630,000; It is also noteworthy that at this time more than 50% of the gifts of the members of the Federa¬ tion Board of Trustees have been committed, represent¬ ing overwhelmingly in¬ creased giving. Ernest Stern, president of ihe Federation expressed for the board as well as the cam¬ paign leadership the con¬ viction that there is clear- recognition for the need of "raisingmore-money to.build a strong Jewish community in Columbus, while at the same time meeting the .-needs of overseas. 'and 1977 budgets in which Israel received about $2 billion for each year. Con¬ gress, and the Administra¬ tion compromised after Con¬ gress had suggested $550 million. Meanwhile, White House' sources indicated to the JTA that Ford would present to Congress before his de¬ parture his promised delivery of sophisticated weapons to Israel, including weapons not yet on the mass production lines. The sources said the Depart¬ ments of State and Defense have completed their study of the equipment Ford said Israel is to receive but ag¬ reements on delivery dates and costs have not been reached by the two countries. When Jimmy Carter be¬ comes President Jan. 20 he can alter the Ford presenta¬ tions to Congress. Congress itself would have much to say on both the budgeting and the arms. Judge Hill, Other Experts To Be Panelists On Juvenile Justice National Council of Jewish Women (NCJW) groups all over the country are working to improve the juvenile justice system. Through th.e|r systematic study of the juVenile, courts, police and probation departments, de¬ tention centers, institutions, and laws, NCJW women have become, cognizant of the failings of this system. Beginning as-outside ob¬ servers of the juvenile jus¬ tice system, Council women, "through tftfehrinvolvement, have becortie insiders who are actively working to pro¬ mote justice for children. < In Ohio, NCJW, in coali¬ tion with other interested groups, is organizing regional networks to review and "evaluate services to youth, especially- unruly youth. Plans are in the mak¬ ing for Columbus to be a base for its metropolitan area network. In order to increase com¬ munity understanding of the .juvenile justice system, the Columbus Evening .Branch of National Council of Jewish Women, in conjunction with the " Jewish Center, will present a panel of experts from the • field. These panelists include: The Hon. Justice John W. Hill , John W. .

This timely community af¬ fairs program will be held in the Adult Lounge of the Jew¬ ish Center, 1125 College Ave., at 8 p.m. on Wednes¬ day, Jan. 5. A question and answer period will follow the panel presentations. Moon Condemns Anti-Semitism Rev. Sun Myung Moon, the South Korean founder of the Unification Church, has de¬ clared that his movement "categorically condemns anti-Semitism, the most hideous, abject and cruel form of hatred." Rev, Moor took, a full-page ad in the New York Times Dec. 19 to clarify his ' position or. Judaism and the Holocaust. In response to the Korean preacher's declaration, Rabbi Marc Tanenbaum, na¬ tional interreligious affairs director of the American Jewish Committee, ex¬ pressed the hope that Rev.
