Appeal at Breakfast
Leaders Plan Drive
To Double Figure;
Harry Seeve Speaks
Pledge's totaling $50.0.00 toward's
, Freeport's contribution to the
United Jewish Appeal we're made at
a breakfast given in Temple B'nai
Israel Sunday morning. Approxi-mately
100 attended the breakfast,
over which Daniel Friedman, the
chairman presided. Pledges ranged
from $10 to $6,000. However, offici-als
of the campaign are not satisfied
and ulan,.tp solicit all Jewish resi-dents
pf'this.village with the hope
of raising the grand total to $100,-
000. f
Due to the urgent need for funds
at this time, every effort is to be
made to turn the pledges Into cash
as quickly as possible instead of
giving donors a year to pay.
The address was given by Harry
Seeve, a native of Palestine, who
ia administrative assistant of- the
United Palestine Associations, the
unified American Agency, which repr-esents
the Jewish Agency for Pal-estine,
the Palestine Foundation
Fund and the Jewish National Fund
which are supported by the Appeal.
The United Jewish Appeal is not
a tharlty, Mr. Seeve said, but fin-ancial
aid for the rebuilding of the
land of Israel.
—nationals-security
are not handed out on a sliver,plat-ter,"
Mr. Seeve asserted, but must
be fought for. The Jews are not In
Palestine by accident. It lls their
home and they are gathering there
for a purpose, which they ultimately
hope to accomplish and for which
they are ready to die willingly to
bring about national freedom."
Mr. Seeve referred to the six mil-the
Hitler regime in Germany and
pointed out Palestine ia the national
homeland of the race. The only
solution for those who "want to go
and become part of the Israel na-tion
is to win in the conflict to gain
possession of the land, he said. He
added, no country can carry on war
without outside help and insisted
this help must come from the Jews
in America.
"This Jewish generation has been
given a chance to~make the new
state of Israela dream of centuries
come 'true and should make the
most of it," he declared.
The dinner was sponsored by Mil-ton
Danziger, president of the
temple, Eliltu Herman, Dr. Philip T.
Bloom, Barney B. Fyvolent, George
-Maislen and Charles H. Rattier,
heads of-various organizations.

He called for a halt in these terrific

for the presidency to curry such a
change into effect.
The Surrogate was introduced by

'judge Howell said there was as
much coal in the Ruhr,as there is
in the United States.. He added the

there are quite a number of:

ludicrious situation "when we have

Would Label Aid to Europe
Judge Howell said everyone who
Is being helped should know from
whom the help Is coming. He said
few people were being, reached by
the short wave broadcasts, ~aml~
recommended that each packajp be
labeled-:
"This Is a free-will offering rff the
people of the United States and Is
not" to'be sold."
"1 think the people are entitled
to know from whom their help is
coming," he added. "I doubt if any
country receiving this aid will re-ject
It just because we let the
people know-from -whloin.it is com-ing,
Ari(J.,I don't think this step
would be interfering with the ad-ministration
of the. countries in-volved."
"What this country needs is a
complete change of philosophy of *
Government," the jurist declared.
"For 16_years we've been throwing
money away. John Citizen is being
treated as a criminal. Every move
to give him a chance to reduce his'
taxes is being fought. The" country
doesn't, want to let him say how he .
can spend his own. money. Every-time
someone "proposes a reduction
in government expenses, the hue
and cry goes up 'whece can it be
cut?'."
