Zionist District Hits Half-Million Mark In Bond Drive
HOUSTON RABBIS RAP SCHACHTEL
HOVSTON, Texas.(JPS)—The Houston Rabbinical Association has adopted a resolution con¬ demning as "untoiindeil and an Insult to the vast' majority ot American Jews", a statement by Rabbl Hyman J. Schaxhtel, of Congregation Beth Israel ot this clly, asserting that Zionists "woulcl ghetlolze" the Jewish people. Rabbl Schachlel, whose congregation last year relegat- eci Kashrutfi observers antl Zion¬ ists to  second    class    member-
Jack .Schiff, cJialrman of the Bond Drive Committee of llie Zionist District,.announced this week that the dl.strict has .sold a half-million dollars worth of bonds in the 7lh War Loan Drive. This Is as of Saturday, June !lth.
Mr. Schiff and his committee are very much gratified with the results lo dale and want lo ex¬ press their appreciation to all of those who have helped so far. They, however, feel that the job isn't done yet, both frnm the »tandix>int of the bond .sales of Franklin County, as well as from the standpoint of sales by the ZlonLst Organization.
The War Bond Committee is therefore calling upon all mem¬ bers and friends of the district to do some more of the good patriotic work they have done to date. They would like to malie the sales $000,000 or over. Mr, Schiff fully expects to real-_ ize that, if every one co-oper¬ ates.

I'^ir while the greater |iortion nf the Fund liuoia is tn be de\'otet.l to the t'niicd Jewish Appeal for re¬ lief overseas, vital Jewish In- lerests in this c'ounlry are pro¬ tected and institutions which are beneficiaries of the United .Jewish Fund.
These agencies, some 55 or over, are becoming significant¬ ly more lm|)ortant as events de¬ velop. Some of them combat antl-Semltlsm and anti-demo¬ cratic sirtiverslve groups. Others carry on a,s cultural, civic edu¬ cational, philanthropic and re Uef agencies.
There Is but one answer to the apixjal for all of Iheni, and that is that all thinking and Intelli¬ gent people will give and give mor-e generously than they have ever done before".
