JEWISH ACTOR HONORED
MUNICH, (JTA) — The West German Federal Republic has conferred one of its highest hon¬ ors, the Grand CrosG of Merit with Star, upon Fritz Kortner. Germany's greatest living actor and stage director, on the oc¬ casion of hjs eSth birthday. Only three other Jews have received this distinction In the eight years of the federal republic.
Dr, Theodor Heuss. the Feder¬ al President, made the award hlch was presented to the actor by Dr. Wilheim Hoegner, Minis¬ ter-President of Bavaria. His name is also being Inscribed In the Qolden Book of the Jewish National Fund in connection with his birthday. Kortner Is a board member of the United Jewish Appeal in'Germany.
countries had imposed has "now been lifted'* to permit reunion of families. He expressed the hope that this would lead to immigra¬ tion to Israel from the Soviet Union   itself.
A fourth speaker, William Ros- enwflJd. said that every $1,000 raised  by  UJA.  "saves  a  life."
The Conference adopted a reso¬ lution calling upon American .Jewry "to match the superhuman effort of the people of Israel In helping to absorb thy new flood of   refugees." <
Noting that American Jewry had been "awakened to ita role and responsibility in the trans¬ migration of Jews fleeing from terror, persecution and Insecuri¬ ty" the reaoiution stated that the United Jewish Appeal has "high hopes that tho Jews of the United States wlli not relax in their ef¬ forts until every Jew uprooted from his home has been resettled in Lsrael or .lome other free land." IS HIS ADDIIFJSS tn the dele¬ gates. Rabbi Herbert Friedman said that the raiding of $44,865,000 in cash in tlie pu-st six month.H wiiH made po.s.sihie because the UJA Is fortunate in having in its top leadership men and women of the   highest   calibre dedicated i
persons who place their desire to | help their fellow men above all | other deslD'.s."
He cited that fact that 30 top UJA leaders had travelled 2,5(XJ.- 000 miles and vi.site<l 250 Ameri¬ can communities in behalf of the Kmergt'ncy Rescue Fund regular  1957  campaign.
Mrs. Jack Goodman^ chairman of the UJA Women's Division, praised the "women of America for responding .so warmheartedly to this historic humanitarian mis¬ sion" and urged them to continue to increase their gifts to meet the   increased   needs.
Morris W. Bcrinstein. president of the U.IA. n.s.serted that the "outpouring of cash — tho life- blood of reycue — means that the UJA can go forward with the iife-sHving worit, which is it.s reHponsibilily,"

Moses A, Leavitt, executive vice-chairman of the Joint Distri¬ bution CommiUee, reported on the progress of immigration to Israel and reported the rate of refugee flow during the remaind¬ er of  1957.
Stressing the fact that "we are today in the mldat of the greatest movement of Jewish refugees since 1949 and I98O," Leavitt pointed out that in the first five months of 1957 some 60,000 men, women and children chiefly from Eastern Europe, Egypt and North Africa, were moved to places of refuge with UjA aid.
The vast majority — some 42.- 000 — received haven In Israel; between 6,000 and 9.000 were moved to the United States. South America and other areas, while a similar number were given temporary refuge In Eur¬ ope. «^
Leavitt warned, however, that the refugee tide would reach a figure in the neighborhood of 125,000 before this year ends.
