UNITED JEWISH APPEAL LAUNCHES EMERGENCY bRIVE FOR $50,000,000 IN CASH BEFORE END OF 1950
NEW YORK, (JTA) — For the first time in Its 12-year history, the United Jewish Appeal has launched a short-term emer¬ gency to raise $50,000,000 in cash before the end of 1960, to effect the Immediate rescue of large numbers of Jews from eastern Europe, Iraq and Iran, whose legal right to leave for Israel may be withdrawn at any time.
In announcing the special res¬ cue drive, Henry Morgenthau, Jr., U.J.A. general chairman, emphasized that both the Jew¬ ish Agency and the Joint Distri¬ bution Committee   are   without
the resources nece.ssary to carry them through the "critical win¬ ter months that He ahead." Mr. Morgenthau explained that the U. J. A. had exhausted the bud¬ get allotted for transportation and that unless new,^{unds are realized within the next 50 days it win be impossible to continue large-scale transports to Israel from Eastern Europe and Mos¬ lem countries.
The UJ.A. chairman stated that the U.J.A. had interpreted as "a mandate from the entire American Jewish community" the decision unanimously adopt¬ ed by the more than 1,200 leaders
of '15 major national Jewish or¬ ganizations and .500 local Jewish communities at the recent Nat¬ ional Planning Conference call¬ ing for an emergency campaign. He warned that the approach of winter had aggravated the posi¬ tion of many Jews in Arab coun¬ tries who) In anticipation of their scheduled departure for Israel, had .sold their homes and pos¬ sessions. He cited the case of 4,000 Jews In Teheran who, hav¬ ing sold their homes, were liv¬ ing in makeshift tents in the only Jewish public properly in Teheran—the Jewish cemetery.

This year, requirements were greater but less money was re¬ ceived for disbursemept.

If you, as you read this article find yourself in a similar position financially, y-our increase would be more than appreciated by the needy millions this money goes to help.
