February 24, 1950— 1) "Allocations Committee Sets New Pattern," Southwestern Jewish Press, pages 1, 8: In an all day session of the 1950 Allocations Committee, held last Sunday at the El Cortez Hotel, a new precedent in disbursing monies to be raised was set for the San Diego Jewish Community. For the first time, budgeting has been done prior to the campaign so that the contributor will know how the money would be distributed. The committee consisting of members of the Board of Directors of the Fund, organization presidents and members at large, formulated a pattern for the distribution of  money raised in the 1950 campaign.  Sol Price, chairman of the committee, announced that of the first $150,000 raised, 83 percent was allocated for the United Jewish Appeal and other Israel overseas agencies, 10 percent to local agencies and 7 percent to national agencies. Of the next $50,000, 95 percent to the United Jewish Appeal and other overseas and Israel agencies, and 5 percent to national agencies.  All over this amount would go to the United Jewish Appeal. According to Price's announcement the following organizations will be beneficiaries of the 1950 campaign: United Jewish Appeal, Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society, Jewish Telegraphic Agency, American Friends of the Hebrew University, American Committee for the Weizmann Institute of Science, American Technion Society, American Fund for Israel Institutions, National Committee for Labor Israel (Histadrut), City of Hope—JCRA, Jewish Committee for Personal Service, Leo M. Levi Memorial Hospital, American Jewish Congress, Jewish Labor Committee, Joint Defense Appeal, B'nai B'rith National Youth Services Appeal; Yiddish Scientific Institute, American Association for Jewish Education, Jewish War Veterans of the United States, National Jewish Welfare Board, Synagogue Council of  America, Training Bureau of Communal Service, Hebrew Theological College, Jewish Theological Seminary, American Hebrew Congregations, Union of Orthodox Jewish Congregations of America, Yeshiva University. The Allocations Committee heard Mr. Moritz Gottlieb, lay leader of Allentown, Pa., representing the United Jewish Appeal, state that in 1949 San Diego, in giving 88 percent of the monies raised through the United Jewish Appeal, had done an outstanding job and that there were not too many communities which had shouldered their responsibilities as well. Rabbi Leonard Greenberg, Los Angeles , spoke for the American Jewish Congress. Histadrut's spokesman was Sol Goodman, while Murray Goodrich represented the American Fund for Israel Institutions. Henry Weinberger presented the case for B'nai B'rith Youth Service Appeal.  Members of the Allocations Committee, besides Price, were Victor Schulman, Rose Neumann, Henry Weinberger, Ben Harris, Ben Feinberg, Harry Engel, Sol Goodman, Mrs. Dora Richlin, M.S. Berlin, Seymour Rabin, William B. Schwartz, M.W. Douglas, Lou Mogy, Sam Addleson, Alex J. Newman, Rodin S. Horrow, Abe Sackheim, Mrs. Gabriel Berg, Mrs. Sidney Goldhammer, Maxwell Kaufman, Rabbi Monroe Levens, Sam Slayen, Morris Neiderman, E.R. Bland, Sam Sosna, Dr. William Ornstein, Lew Pollack, Dr. David Miller, Dr. A.P. Nasatir, Frank Winicki, Rabbi Baruch Stern, Rabbi Morton J. Cohn, Morry Kraus, Nate Schiller, Edward Kitaen, Richard Levi and Carl Esenoff.

March 10, 1950—1) "'Keep the Miracle Alive' Will Take $283,000 For SD;  UJF Campaign Plans for 1950 Moves Ahead," Southwestern Jewish Press, Page 1: "Never before has San Diego Jewry seen such enthusiastic leadership in the pre-campaign period and in planning the drive," Murray Goodrich and Nate Ratner, chairmen, stated yesterday. "Most encouraging to us is the sincere interest being shown by community leaders in 'Keeping the Miracle Alive' in 1950. With the enthusiasm shown by everyone the campaign will be the best yet." Organization plans have been completed with the setting up of eight divisions in the Men's Group, a Women's Division under the leadership of Mrs. Selma Getz and a Christian division to be formed by Irving Friedman. The Young People's Division will be set up in the very near future. Captains and lieutenants of divisions, secured to date, read like a roster of leading citizens in the Jewish Community of San Diego. The Weizmann Division will be sparked by Louis Moorsteen, Its Penter, Louis Steinman, Ralph Hosenpud, Harry Snyder, Rod Horrow and Nate Baranov. Haganah Division will be officered by Sam Rassin, M.S. Berlin,, Edward Bland, Mickey Goldfarb, and Irvin Kahn. Al Newman, Milton Roberts, Sol Price, and Eli Levenson will be the dynamos to lead the Ben Gurion Group. Maurice Harris, Richard Levi, Harry Mallen, Eddie Kitaen, Jerry Freedman will spark the Palmach Division. The Magic Carpet Division will be lead by Morris Douglas, Dr. A.P. Nasatir, Morris Kraus, Abe Sklar, Sam Addleson, Harry Mallen, Bill Schwartz, Manny Fisher and Edward Breitbard. Again this year great things are expected from the Outlying District's Division which will be headed by Ben Harris, with Elmer Glaser of Oceanside, Arthur L. Cohen of Coronado, and Harold Sobel of Vista. A division to handle new prospects and those who did not contribute in 1949 will be led by Morris Niederman, Zel Camiel, Dr. Ornstein, Nathan Schiller, Henry Price, Dave Stotsky, Harry Dempsey and Mickey Fredman. The Commando Division to handle "Special Assignments" will have Max Rabinowitz, Harry Farb, Henry Weinberger, Saul Chenkin, Carl Esenoff and Victor Schulman as its leaders. The Professional Division will include Judge Jacob Weinberger, Dr. R.M. Stone, Dr. J.A. Rittoff, Dr. Fred Hollander, Ben Rubin, Carl Esenoff and John Ruskin. Cabinet members for the campaign to act as advisers to the chairmen were announced last week.  The Campaign Cabinet will consist of Murray D. Goodrich and Nate Ratner, chairmen of the 1950 campaign. Victor Schulman, Eli Levenson, Saul Chenkin, Max Rabinowitz, Louis Steinman, Rodin Horrow, Morris Douglas and Sol Price. The 1950 Campaign, "To Keep the Miracle Alive" will have a goal of $283,000 based on minimum needs of the 38 Overseas, Israel, National and Local Agencies participating in the drive. The goal is the absolute minimum and must be raised if San Diego Jewry is to assume its responsibility in this cause.  This year, as never before, plans are under way for the complete coverage of the entire Jewish Community of San Diego County.  Everyone will have an opportunity to help shoulder their responsibility in this great national cause.  More workers will be needed than ever before, according to Goodrich and Ratner, so that complete coverage may be effected. Organizations have been asked to provide workers and anyone wishing to volunteer may do so by calling Franklin 0171.  All community minded Jews are asked to participate by giving and working in the "Keep the Miracle Alive" 1950 Campaign, which will open in early April.

Uncle Captain and D.J. were discussing with Abe Ratner the styles of slacks they wanted for their crew on the dream ship "Melody," which is now in the Harbor of Rio de Janeiro. The discussions were really terrific and provided many a laugh.

2) "Big Gifts Committee Goes Over The Top! Campaign for 1950 Hits Stride," Southwestern Jewish Press, page 1: The needy Jews of the world were not let down by S.D. Jewry. At the first big gifts dinner 20 men had pledged a total of $42,200, an increase of 16 percent over their 1949 gifts. The figure, jointly released by campaign chairmen, Murray D. Goodrich and Nathaniel Ratner, indicated a campaign exceeding 1949 giving. Goodrich and Ratner, who were hosts at the dinner, reflected general satisfaction as a result of last Thursday's meeting.  "We're moving fast toward the April 10th opening of the 'Keep the Miracle Alive' Campaign and at a high pace that shows how well people understand the desperate need," they stated. "We have confidence in this community that was confirmed Thursday night." Keynote of the dinner was sounded by Maurice Kompeniez, lay leader of Los Angeles, co-chairman of United Jewish Appeal and prominent Los Angeles manufacturer. "Israel," he said, "faces imminent attack from encircling Arab Nations, and is unprepared because so much money has been spent on the penniless newcomers. We are racing against time, racing to save people before they die, or before they are imprisoned forever," he continued, as he warned of the closing of the doors in Poland on April 15, and in all Eastern European countries. Present at the Goodrich-Ratner dinner were Victor Schulman, Nathan F. Baranov, Abe Ratner, Harry Snyder, Saul Chenkin, Louis Moorsteen, Irvine Schulman, Rodin Horrow, Edward Bland, Jack Gross, Harry Farb, Ralph Hosenpud, George Neumann, Max Rabinowitz, Elmer Glaser of Oceanside, Louis Steinman, Frank Winicki, Leeo Greenbaum and Abe Sackheim.  Other Pre-campaign dinners are planned by Saul Chenkin, and Louis Steinman, Louis Moorsteen and Edward Bland; Rodin Horrow, Its Penter and Milton Roberts; Max Rabinowitz and Sam Rassin.  The campaign will open on April 10, with Sunday April 30, being designated as "Magic Carpet Day" under the chairmanship of Morris Douglas.

2)  "Magic Carpet Day, Sunday, April 30th: Be A Worker or Stay at Home Until A Worker Calls on You," Southwestern Jewish Press, page 16:  Over 150 "Modern Miracle Workers" are expected to participate in San Diego's "Operation Magic Carpet" this Sunday, April 30th, Morris Douglas, chairman of the day, stated. Gathering for instructions at Beth Israel Center, the workers will breakfast (courtesy of the Jolly Sixteen) at 9:30 a.m., receive their lists and be off to knock on doors on behalf of the "Keep the Miracle Alive" Campaign of the United Jewish Fund.  "Magic Carpet Day," said Douglas, "is an effort to dramatically call to the attention of the Jews of San Diego, the needs of the Jews of Europe, Africa and the Moslem countries, as well as Israel, and to have the greatest possible coverage in the history of any campaign. We hope that our Miracle Workers will cover over 1200 prospects on this one day."  All organizations have helped in the recruitment of workers. To date, the following workers have signed their pledge to be the crew of the "Magic Carpet":  Rose Abrams, A.A. Abramson, Sam Addleson, Manny Adler, E. S.

May 12, 1950—1) "Magic Carpet Day Amusing Highlights," Southwestern Jewish Press, page 1: Vic Shulman (sic, Schulman) president of the United Jewish Fund, but one of the buck privates on Magic Carpet Day, came back and told the following story: "I had six cards, two people were not in and the other four were either sick or broke. I had to leave more than I brought back."...

2) A. Fisher, "Letter to the Editor," Southwestern Jewish Press, page 2: Dear Mr. Kaufman: I would appreciate your printing this reply to Mr. Sold Goldman's letter of your April 28th issue.  The point of my April 14 letter was, in essence, that all of us by working in a unified fashion for our U.J.F. would accomplish more for Israel and the particular agency of our interest than by placing the interests of that particular agency above that of the Fund. This was a statement of principle and was not pointed at any particular agency or person. It applies to any agency which places its interest above and to the detriment of the unified fund. Apparently Mr. Goodman feels it was intended only for Histadrut.  It is clear from Mr. Victor Schulman's excellent reply that Histadrut by not getting a "pre-campaign guaranteed allocation" an thus preferential treatment as compared to other agencies, has withdrawn from the Fund. In effect, Histadrut's leaders have told the Fund that they want their allocation or else they will make a separate drive.  If this isn't pressure, what is?  Yet Mr. Goodman states "to my knowledge there has been no pressure against the Allocations Committee."  If every agency took that rebellious attitude there would be no unified fund raising drive.  Mr. Goodman's statement that "Mr. a. Fisher, truthfully speaking, is unknown to me" is a surprising remark for a man of his unquestioned abilities to make. We have merely known each other for a period of over two decades and have been members of the same organization of which I was secretary for several years. Also I am certain that Mr. Goodman really doesn't advocate the censorship he implied. An honest discussion of principles, not personalities, is part of our democracy and the reason for this section of the Jewish Press.

3) Lou Mogy, "Scene Around Town," Southwestern Jewish Press, page 5: The last Guardian meeting was something never to be forgotten. I believe it will go down as one of  the outstanding Jewish events in the history of San Diego Jewry.  Mr. George A. Scott was presented a plaque for his outstanding effort in community human relations. Sam Addleson made a magnificent presentation on behalf of the Guardians. Outstanding civic and spiritual leaders were present. Among the many distinguished men who spoke were the following: Judge Jacob A. Weinberger, Vincent Godfrey, James A. Robbins, Rabbi Baruch Stern, Rabbi Monroe Levens, Rabbi Morton J. Cohn, Victor Schulman, Reverend Dr. Thomas Law Coyle, Eli Levenson, Carl Esenoff, Murray D. Goodrich, Lou Steinman, Al Newman, Morrie Kraus and Zel Greenberg. Cantor Miller, assisted by Mrs. Florence Corwin, sang two beautiful Hebrew melodies. Mrs. Rose Neumann was introduced and the audience heard her thoughts contained in the hearts of both Mrs. Neumann and Mr. Scott. I can only say that I am particularly proud in having played a small part in this wonderful evening and presentation. It also makes a fellow feel good to know that something in principal which he fought for came to such a glorious and successful end.  ...President Victor Schulman of the United Jewish Fund wishes to remind everyone not to forget their contribution...

2) "Campaign Continues As Clean-Up Day Is Planned," Southwestern Jewish Press, page 1: Promoted to "Majors" for their excellent work, the leaders of Magic Carpet Day met last Wednesday to plan a "Clean Up Day" to "Keep the Miracle Alive."  Devised to make for the greatest amount of coverage possible, plans were outlined for the personal contact of every Jewish man, woman and young person in San Diego, who is not yet one of the 1,409 contributors who have given over $150,000 to date. With still $60,000 to be secured from 1949 givers who have not yet pledged in1 950, drive leaders are confident of exceeding 1949 results of $205,000. "Pledges and cash are vital," said Victor Schulman, President of the Fund. "If San Diego Jewry fails in its 1950 efforts and is forced to 'welch' on its commitments, not only will Overseas and Israel needs be affected, but national seminaries, hospitals and civic protective agencies, as well as local agencies such as the Jewish Welfare Society, San Diego Hebrew Home for the Aged, the Jewish Community Center and the Jewish Community Relations Council, may also feel the reduction in their programs."...

4) "S.D. Is Asked to Guarantee Thirty Additional D.P. Families Under Extended Bill," Southwestern Jewish Press, p.10:  San Diego has been asked to give 30 more community assurances for D.P. families so that they can enter this country, local Emigre Committee of the United Jewish Fund officials revealed this week. In a letter to Victor Schulman, president of the United Jewish Welfare Fund and Dr. Walter Ornstein, chairman of the Emigre Committee, Walter H. Bieringer, president of the United Service for New Americans, declared that extra community assurances for San Diego, as well as others from all over the country, are needed because of the recent extension of the D.P. Bill, which now makes 20,000 more Jews eligible for entry into this country. This will be the final commitment that will be asked of Americans, Bieringer declared, since the last group of 20,000 immigrants, will wind up the flow of refugees to this country.

June 9, 1950—"San Diego Responds To Plea From U.J.A. With $25,000," Southwestern Jewish Press, page 1:  Answering the United Jewish Appeal's desperate plea for cash, the United Jewish Fund ahs just forwarded another $25,000 of borrowed funds bringing the total advance payment to the United Jewish Appeal for 1950 to $75,000, according to Max Rabinowitz, Treasurer. In order to secure the cash with which to pay back the loan, workers are continuing to pound away at prospects who have not as yet made their contribution to get their pledges now.  Meeting at breakfast last Tuesday, Board Members of the Fund gave up the entire day to solicit gifts from larger contributors who have not as yet made their pledge. Fund activity continued during the day. Tuesday night the corps of Miracle Workers, under the direction of Morry Douglas, went from house to house to talk to prospects who had either refused or as yet had not shouldered their responsibility. With at least a possible $33,000 in larger gifts, $10,000 in smaller gifts still to be secured for the 1950 campaign, Murray Goodrich and Nathaniel Ratner, co-chairmen and the Campaign Committee agreed that the drive will continue until at least last year's figure is reached.  Goodrich and Ratner stated that while at this time, we are still running at 9 percent better than 1949  the need for cash is so great that we must use every pressure to secure contributions now. Pointing out that at this time last year the drive had $153,355.00 in comparison to $161,000.00 on June 2nd, the chairmen stated that every dollar contributed now is worth at least two dollars contributed at a later date. Victor Schulman advised the campaign committee that if we fall behind the 1949 figure, it means reduced allocations to the United Jewish Appeal, to other overseas agencies and to national religious institutions, hospitals and other national agencies.  he urges everyone to shoulder their responsibility now, and if they are not contacted to forward their contributions to the United Jewish Fund immediately.

June 23, 1950—1) "Fund Pleads With San Diego To Step Out of  '400' Class." Southwestern Jewish Press, page 1: Using those who have not as yet made their pledge to "Keep the Miracle Alive in 1950," to do so immediately because of the cash emergency of the United Jewish Appeal, Murray D. Goodrich and Nathaniel Ratner, co-chairmen of the campaign revealed that $102,000 in cash had been forwarded by the Board of Directors of the United Jewish Fund to the United Jewish Appeal. "Every effort must be made by every right thinking Jew," they said, "to reach our goal so that a minimum allotment can be made to the United Jewish Appeal. Unless we do that we are shirking our responsibility as Americans and as Jews." "There are," they continued, "approximately 400 individuals in our community who have not as yet given. many of them will give, but we wonder what they are waiting for. They know how much they are going to give and we need their pledge and cash now, so that we might be able to further help those who really are in need."  The Campaign Committee announced that coverage in 1950 had been more complete than any year preceding this campaign. They feel certain that there is no one in the San Deigo Jewish Community who can say he or she has not been personally contacted.  Victor Schulman, President of the Fund, urged those who had cut their contribution in 1950 to consider bringing it back to the level of 1949 gifts. The needs, he said, are just as great if  not greater than thhey were in 1948 or 1949.  No one has suffered so that they cannot make at least the same gift as they made last year.  Make a contribution now to the "Keep the Miracle Alive" Campaign of the United Jewish Fund. Send your gifts to the United Jewish Fund, 333 Plaza.

A site committee consisting of Irvine Schulman, Abe Ratner, Max Rabinowitz, Ben  Rubin, Victor Schulman and Lou Moorsteen has been appointed to seek a permanent home for the organization. An area of approximately five acres is being considered. Everything will be new...no remodeling of old structures...easily accessible...near a golf course.  The Towne Club policy will be one of service to the community and does not exclude any one from taking part actively or otherwise. There is a token temporary membership of $5.00 per member. Anyone interested kindly notify Rod Harrow or Abe Sklar.  A letter mailed to the Southwestern Jewish Press, marked for the attention of the Towne Club, will be forwarded.

July 21, 1950—"S.D. Guarantees Care for 27 More D.P. Families," Southwestern Jewish Press, page 8:  In an emergency meeting of the Board of Directors of the United Jewish Fund, called to hear the report of the Executive Committee, the Board of Directors of the United Jewish Fund acted favorably on recommendation to take an additional 27 D.P. families in 1851.  San Diego will guarantee jobs and housing for 37 Jewish displaced families in addition to the 36 Community Assurances already given for this year, Victor Schulman, Pres., announced. This means that some 90 additional Jewish displaced persons will be able to resettle in this area under the liberalized DP Act recently passed. 25 families already have been resettled her since the first of the year.  The additional community assurances were recommended by the Emigre Committee of the United Jewish Fund, and the Executive Committee of the Fund, in response to a request from national officials of the United Service for New Americans that every additional displaced person allowed under the new Act be brought into this country.  Some 65 families, representing about 200 individuals, already are in San Diego on community and corporate assurances  basis, according to Albert A. Hutler, Executive Director of the United Jewish Fund. In addition Hutler estimated that the same number have been resettled here on the basis of individual assurances, of which the committee has no record.

August 4, 1950—1) "Fund Appeal to Re-Open Drive in September and October," Southwestern Jewish Press, page 1:  Knowing that every dollar not raised by the United Jewish Fund in San Diego means someone's life, the Board of Directors of the Fund have agreed to reopen the 1950 Campaign in September in order to reach the minimum needs of $205,000, announced Murray D. Goodrich and Nathaniel Ratner, Chairmen of the campaign....Emphasizing the fact that the needs are not only overseas, but national and local as well, the chairmen stated that the San Diego Hebrew Home for the Aged and the Jewish Welfare Society are large beneficiaries of the 1950 Campaign. In checking through the records, it has been found that several officers and leading figures of these institutions have not as yet made their contribution to the campaign. Victor Schulman pointed out that unless the minimum amount is raised, not only will the overseas agencies suffer, but these local agencies will of necessity be forced to take cuts in budget.  Reports indicate that Campaign Workers have done the most outstanding job in the history of fund raising in the San Diego Jewish Community. Every family known to be Jewish has been contacted, and more contributors have been secured in this campaign than in 1949, yet many former contributors and some newcomers have failed to see the importance of contributing at this time. "Individuals and families who do not make a contribution to the United Jewish Fund are poor members of the community," said Victor Schulman, president. "A community worth living in certainly is a community worth giving in," he continued. "I urge everyone who has not as yet given to do so now. Let's do the job and do it now. If it is not done now, we will spend the balance of the year working until every individual in San Diego has stated his position."

Organized by the Jewish Welfare Board, the National Catholic Community Service and the National YMCA to finance USO type programs, ASAF will become active in San Deigo in the very near future. In collaboration with the Jewish Welfare Board, Victor Schulman, President of the United Jewish Fund, appointed Henry Weinberger as chairman with Rose Neumann and Maxwell Kaufman as the Jewish members of the local committee to help in the formulating of local plans.

August 18, 1950—1) "Goal of Reopened Campaign to be 1949 Figure," Southwestern Jewish Press, page 1: Goal of the United Jewish Fund Campaign, which will be reopened in late September will be $25,000, according to Victor Schulman, president of the United Jewish Fund. "We have to date missed our expectation of $205,000, which was raised in 1949, by $25,000," Schulman stated. "We know that this money is in our community, and can and must be secured from those who have not given enough in 1950, and from those who for one reason or another have not as yet made their contribution to this great cause."  There are now about 300 individuals who pledged in 1949 but who have not made any pledge in 1950...

I was under the impression it was the plans for their new home. Upon further examination,  it was merely the Racing Form, with the winning horses as selected by Murray Goodrich and Its Penter.... President Rod Horrow wishes to announce that the membership drive for the New Towne Club is now open. As you know, land has been purchased adjoining the Mission Valley Golf Course and plans are under way for the new Club House.

Goodrich and Nathaniel Ratner, general co-chairmen of the 1950 Keep the Miracle Alive Drive.  San Diego's effort in the "C Campaign" will be part of a national mobilization organized by the United Jewish Appeal, for cash collections and additional contributions.  "The crises in Israel," says Eddie Cantor, "means that every Jew must shoulder his responsibility and make a sacrifice so that immigration will continue." If you have not as yet made your contribution, or if you wish to increase your pledge, do so now by mailing your gift to the United Jewish Fund, 333 Plaza.

At Wash Conference," Southwestern Jewish Press, page 1: The Council of Jewish Federations and Welfare Funds' 19th Annual General Assembly—national business meeting of the organized Jewish communities—will be held December 1-3 at the Hotel Shoreham, Washington D.C., it was announced today by Stanley C. Myers, Miami, CJFWF President. Community leaders from all parts of the United States and Canada acting as delegates of their central Jewish organizations will discuss major problems facing Jewish communities in 1951 and outline plans for meeting total Jewish philanthropic responsibilities in Israel overseas and at home.  The CJFWF Mr. Myers pointed out is the national association of community organizations serving 800 cities as their instrument in dealing with national problems and in providing central services in budgeting, community organization, social planning, campaigning and year-round interpretation. Member agencies of the CJFWF annually raise more than 90 percent of all funds used for Jewish welfare purposes.  Victor Schulman, President of the United Jewish Fund, and Albert A. Hutler, Executive Director, will represent the San Diego Jewish Community.

2) "Desperate Need!" Plea of United Jewish Appeal," Southwestern Jewish Press, page 1" An urgent appeal growing out of the extraordinary conference held in Washington two weeks ago has been made to the Jewish Community of San Diego by Henry Morgenthau Jr., National chairman of the United Jewish Appeal, according to Victor Schulman, President of the Fund.  A $75,000 cash advance for the United Jewish Appeal for its work in Israel, through the Joint Distribution Committee and the Jewish Agency is urgently needed from the United Jewish Fund as an advance on 1951 Campaign. Schulman said, "this matter now under consideration by the Board of the fund, can only be answered by the complete cooperation of the members of the Fund. If those who pledged in the 1950 Campaign will completely or even partially make payment immediately, it may be possible to advance cash to aid in meeting the crisis. Every effort will be made by the members of the Board to meet this request, which they know means keeping the lifeline of Israel open, but the cooperation of those who have made their pledges for 1950 is most urgently needed now." Mr. Morgenthau's letter to Schulman stated, "The immediate pressing problem confronting Israel cannot wait until most of these plans are implemented and therefore the conference unanimously approved a special resolution, the urgent responsibility of American Jewry to assist Israel through the United Jewish Appeal. Basic points of this special resolution are that, (1) $50,000,000 in cash be made available to the United Jewish Appeal by December 31, 1950, and (2) that the Jewish Communities of America commence their 1951 campaign as early as possible. In trying to assess the total $50,000,000 responsibility among the Jewish communities of America, it is our feeling that a fair share for your community be $75,000." What is done depends on what the community is willing to have done. Your payment now will help us to give the answer you want to give!

3) "Fund Approves Committees' Allocations," Southwestern Jewish Press, page 6: Checks were in the mail this week for organizations which share in the proceeds of the United Jewish Fund Campaign. According to Victor Schulman, President, the Board of Directors of the Fund, approved completely the findings and recommendations of the Allocations Committee.  The bulk of the money distributed went for overseas and Israel organizations, and institutions. National agencies and institutions receiving allocations from San Diego's United Jewish Fund included religious, educational, cultural, health, welfare service and community relations organizations as well...According to Schulman, the Allocation Committee has not been discharged and will meet again to distribute any excess money raised in 1950 on the basis of 95 percent to Israel and overseas, and 5 percent to national organizations. Sol Price is chairman of the 1950 Allocation Committee.

December 1, 1950—1) "Fund Annual Meeting To Honor Davies on Dec. 17," Southwestern Jewish Press, page 1: "Remember the 17th for the 17th." That's Louis Steinman's way of urging attendance at the 17th Annual Dinner Meeting of the United Jewish Fund on Sunday, December 17th at 6:30 p.m.  Meeting in the sky-high Marine Room of the San Diego Hotel, the business agenda will be highlighted by the election of members to the United Jewish Fund Board for a two year term as well as the yearly report of the president, Victor Schulman, and Executive Director, Albert A. Hutler.  "All good citizens of the Jewish community should take advantage of their rights by voting for members of the Board who are the Trustees of the money collected for Jewish agencies in San Diego, and for making various policies which affect Jewish communal life," Steinman stated in his announcement. "In the past five years the United Jewish Fund of San Diego has been the recipient of $1,012,000 which has been distributed by the Jewish community of San Diego through the Board of Directors of the Fund."  Annual awards to outstanding Jews for their communal work in the community will be announced at the meeting.

2) "Wash. Conference Proposes Central Israeli Fund," Southwestern Jewish Press, page 7: Recommendations to implement the creation of a Central Israeli Fund and Budget, and to assure long range stability in American Jewish fund raising will be presented to community delegates for discussion and action at the 19th Annual General Assembly of the Council of Jewish Federations and Welfare Funds. The Assembly is scheduled for December 1-3 Shoreham Hotel, Washington D.C.  Stanley C. Myers, Miami, CJFWF President, in announcing developing program highlights, underscored the importance of the three-day Assembly.  More than 700 leaders of Jewish communities from all parts of the United States and Canada will review major problems facing American Jewry in 1951. Acting as official delegates from their communities, the leaders will map plans for meeting total Jewish responsibilities in Israel, overseas, nationally and locally.  Victor Schulman, Pres. and Albert Hutler, Exec. Dir. of the United Jewish Fund, will attend all sessions of the conference. Proposals of the Institute will be designed to insure the most efficient manner of utilizing funds raised to meet Israel's most pressing economic needs. They will deal with the central Israel Fund and Budget; the role of philanthropy in relation to the projected bond drive, private investment and inter-governmental loans; and the character of programs to be undertaken by American Jewish organizations raising funds for Israel.  The Council of Jewish Federations and Welfare Funds is the national association of community organizations serving 800 cities as their instrument in dealing with national problems and in providing central services in budgeting, community organization, social planning, campaigning and year-round interpretation. Member agencies of the Council annually raise more than 90 percent of all funds used for Jewish welfare purposes.

Baranov, and Eli H. Levenson, Past Presidents.  Mrs. Gabriel Berg, I. L. Domnitz, Edward Bland, Morris Douglas, Saul Chenkin, Rodin Horrow, Alex Newman, Abe Ratner, Morris Niederman, Dr. Robert Stone, Milton Roberts, Nate Schiller, Abe Sackheim, Harry Snyder, Sam Sosna, Maurice Harris, Ralph Rosenpud.  Petitions for additional nominees must be presented to the office of the United Jewish Fund, 333 Plaza, not later than December 15, 1950, 12:00 noon.

4) "Fund Appeal for Quick Payment of Pledges," Southwestern Jewish Press, page 16: Declaring that lack of relief money is causing needless suffering to people overseas who have already undergone terrible hardships, Victor Schulman, President of San Diego United Jewish Fund, this week appealed to all Fund Campaign Donors to pay their pledges without further delay.  "Our community in San Diego," he said, "has established a good record in its payment of pledges. However, large amounts still are outstanding, resulting in unnecessary suffering by needy people who already have suffered too much. Though we have, by borrowing, been able to pay most of our allocation to the United Jewish Appeal, we are now being asked to forward additional cash based upon what we expect to collect in 1951." Schulman's appeal to the community came as he was about to leave to attend the General Assembly of the Council of Federations and Welfare Funds in Washington D.C., where one of the major problems on the agenda will be continued aid for overseas and Israel as well as meeting local needs in the Jewish community. Dr. Joseph Schwartz, Director General of the Joint Distribution Committee revealed recently that unless cash is immediately forthcoming, JDC will have to stop its migration program. This serious step will be made necessary since the JDC has already spent its full 1950 budget for migration purposes. It was pointed out that his unprecedented move will shut the door on thousands of Jews still left in Rumania, Bulgaria and other countries.  Urging everyone in the community to do his part by converting his pledge into cash at this time, Schulman stated that our community can handle its responsibility if cash is made available. Pay your pledge now with cash so that beneficiary agencies may receive their allocations now.

December 15, 1950—1) "$100,000 Borrowed to Save Lives," Southwestern Jewish Press, page 1: Answering the request for $75,000 cash by the United Jewish Appeal in its emergency campaign to raise $50,000,000 in cash before the end of 1950, the United Jewish Fund of San Diego electrified American Jewry by voting to borrow $100,000 for forwarding to the United Jewish Appeal as an advance on the 1951 campaign.  "Since our 1950 allocations to the United Jewish Appeal are almost paid in full and in view of the tremendous cash needs of the United Jewish Appeal to carry on the program of resettlement in Israel and in Europe, we will borrow this money as an advance on our 1951 Campaign," Victor Schulman, President of the Fund, told Louis Boyer, outstanding Los Angeles philanthropist who spoke to the Board of Directors of the Fund in advising him of the action of the Board.  Mr. Boyer, in his reply stated, "It is inspiring to us laymen who have our families and travel far and near, to have extended to them the respect and consideration that was given to me at this meeting. And topping this off with San Diego's sterling show of leadership and their ready response to increase UJA's official request by this additional thirty three and one-third percent is one that will stand me in good stead throughout the years in my work for Jewish causes."  The United Jewish Appeal's short term emergency campaign to raise $50,000 in cash before the end of 1950, will effect the immediate rescue of large numbers of Jews from eastern Europe, Iraq, and Iran, whose legal rights to leave for Israel may be withdrawn at any time. With all of these facts before them, the Board of Directors of the United Jewish Fund of San Diego agreed that the need was so great that the 1951 Campaign must be mortgaged in order to take action now. The Jewish community of San Diego has established a good record on its payment of pledges, always having paid its commitments in full. However, at this time, large amounts are still outstanding and every contributor to the Fund is urged to convert his pledge into cash now.

2) "Fund Annual Meting Pledges Support for 1951," Southwestern Jewish Press, page 4: Over 200 members of the United Jewish Fund gathered at the Annual Meeting and heard Victor Schulman, President, announce that $100,000 cash had been guaranteed before the end of the year to the United Jewish Appeal against the forthcoming 1951 campaign. Schulman stated that the Fund had been asked to contribute only $75,000 toward the fifty million dollar quota set by the United Jewish Appeal. $75,000 has already been borrowed from the bank and dispatched, the other $25,000 will be sent at once.  A telegram from Henry Morgenthau, Jr., retiring General Chairman of the United Jewish Appeal, acknowledging the advanced gift, lauded the community for its speedy fulfillment of the appeal and the stimulation it brought to communities throughout America.  A citation was an outstanding citizen and Christian was presented to Charles Davies, chairman of the 1950 Christian Campaign for the United Jewish Fund.  Mrs. Selma Getz, Murray D. Goodrich and Nathaniel Ratner were presented scrolls at the dinner from the United Jewish Appeal by Eli Levenson, Regional chairman, "in recognition of self-sacrificing effort and leadership in 1950 in support of development of Israel and the preservation and renewal of Jewish life at home and abroad."  For the first time the United Jewish Fund presented scrolls to organizations in recognition of their work. The San Diego section of the National Council of Jewish Women was cited for help to Jewish displaced persons resettled in San Diego. To the San Diego Lasker Lodge went a citation for "outstanding community leadership in Operation Magic Carpet in the 1950 United Jewish Fund Campaign." Announcement of the election of 9 persons to the Key Club for outstanding service and leadership to the United Jewish Fund of San Diego and to the community also was made.  Besides Mrs. Getz, Goodrich and Ratner, they included Leon Heiman, outstanding worker, Mrs. Arthur Goodman, David Anfangar and Richard Silberman for their work on the Young People's Division; Morris Douglas for his leadership of Magic Carpet Day; and Irving Friedman for his outstanding communal activity. The following were named to the Board of Directors: David Block, Leo Brett, William Burnett, Harry Farb, Manuel Fisher, Jerry Freedman, Irving Fredman, Murray Goodrich, Ben Harris, Richard Levi, Julius Levine, Harry Mallen, Louis Moorsteen, Dr. Walter Ornstein, Sol Price, Seymour Rabin, Nathaniel Ratner, Ben Rubin, Victor Schulman, Mrs. Ann Shelley, Louis Steinman and Henry Weinberger. Reports were given to the meeting by Max Rabinowitz, Treasurer, and the Campaign Chairman, Murray D. Goodrich. Other reports were given by Ben Harris, Allocations Committee; Morris Niederman, Loan Fund; Henry Weinberger, Armesd Services, Walter Ornstein, Emigre, and Saul Chenkin, Nominating. In the report of the President, Victor Schulman pointed out that the 1950 Campaign had done better than the national level. It showed a decrease of 10 percent in pledges while the national decrease was 18 percent, and a 9 1/2 percent increase in the number of contributors, while the national level was a 4 percent decrease. Schulman pointed out that there was a great deal of loose talk about the Fund, and that he hoped that people would get their information correct. Speaking of the reserve fund, he stated that such funds were in pledges and had never been in cash, and could not be in cash unless the Fund stopped operation for one year.  Executive Direct (Al) Hutler in his report pleaded for conversion of pledges in cash NOW so that the Fund might meet its commitments to the United Jewish Appeal for 1951's advanced cash. He reported on the Conference in Washington of the National Council of Jewish Welfare Funds and Federations. He pointed out that it is anticipated that the year 1951 will be a much better year, and the United Jewish Fund should raise the amount of money that it raised in 1948. He stated that Israel was in crisis, and that what had been gained might totter if assistance was not continued by American Jewish communities.  Cantor Joseph Cysner of Tifereth Israel Synagogue and Miss Barbara Cohn entertained with musical selections. Louis Steinman, chairman of the Annual Meeting Committee, chaired the meeting. Other members of his committee were Morrie Douglas and Rodin Horrow.

February 2, 1951—"Fund Drive to Open April 1st," Southwestern Jewish Press, page 1: "What we do not do now, we may never be able to accomplish," said Victor Schulman, President of the United Jewish Fund in announcing San Diego's Combined Jewish Appeal for 1951 would open officially on April 1st. "The free dollar for Israel—the philanthropic dollar—is still the most important dollar in the economic crisis which confronts Israel today," continued Schulman. "Besides the stability of Israel and assistance to immigrants who are still arriving, 15,000 a month, there is the problem of reconstruction and rehabilitation of Jews throughout the world, especially in Europe, and the need of money for the resettlement of those who are able to come to the United States. Our local needs," Schulman said, "are expanding and with the impact from servicemen, and newly arrived immigrants, as well as defense workers in our community, the needs of our local Jewish agencies will be greater than ever before. National agencie3s, consisting of religious, health and welfare, cultural and educational institutions as well as community relations organizations needs must be met. These are the over 35 institutions which are beneficiaries of the United Jewish Fund of San Diego, and for which we urge an all out effort in the one large Jewish Campaign—the combine Jewish Appeal for 1951." Preparations are under way to procure the largest campaign organization in fund history. Volunteers for the office will be needed shortly, as well as volunteer workers for the campaign. Anyone wishing to volunteer at this time is asked to notify the office of the United Jewish Fund, Franklin 0171.

Reports from William Schwartz, Chairman of the Allocations Committee, indicate that pre-campaign planning, on a percentage basis as accomplished in 1950, will be followed again in 1951. Four major fields of service will be included, according to Schwartz, in the 1951 Campaign—Overseas and Israel, National Agencies, Local Needs, and the Emigre Program.  Carl Esenoff, San Diego Federation of Jewish Agencies Leader, stated that local budgets would be presented to the fund at its next meeting for inclusion in the 1951 Campaign.

Their devotion to Jewish philanthropy and Jewish life has set an outstanding example in our community. Following their acceptance of the appointment, they issued a joint statement, "It is with a deep sense of the great responsibility involved that we accept these positions. We know well the task before us, we recognize continued needs overseas, in Europe, and in Israel, and we know too of the requirement of the many local and national agencies which are financed by the United Jewish Fund. "We have been assured by the members of the Board of Directors of the United Jewish Fund and by many others that we will receive their full support and cooperation in this important philanthropic endeavor. Our local community will rise to the needs of the situation and give its wholehearted support as it has in the past."  It is planned to accelerate the campaign, with the special gifts divison scheduled to get underway on March 18th, and the official opening of the Combined Jewish Appeal, scheduled for Sunday, April 1st.  Organizations are urged to begin planning their part in the 1951 campaign.

2) "U.J.F.

"Though this campaign has been gratifying in that it has exceeded 1950 by 9 percent to date, it is disappointing in the number of contributors. Slightly over 1200 pledges have been received this year in comparison to 1650 in 1950," stated the general campaign co-chairmen, (Rodin) Horrow and (Morris) Douglas. Campaign leaders are continuing the effort to reach the commitment of $233,920 needed for minimum needs of the 38 organizations which are beneficiaries of the Fund. Personal solicitation will continue as well as an intensification of mailings to those who have not as yet contributed... President Schulman announced that the allocations committee, chaired by William Schwartz, would begin to meet during the summer months to make recommendations for the distribution of the money raised in the campaign.

August 3, 1951—"'Bank Must Be Paid,' Says U.J.F. Treasurer," Southwestern Jewish Press, page 1: "Cash is vitally needed by the United Jewish Fund to meet the obligations to the bank and to agencies which are beneficiaries," said Nathaniel Ratner, Treasurer, in urging contributors to pay their pledges now as the Fund announced 1951 pledges of over $204,000,000. Ratner stated that the loan from the bank, secured in order to make an advance to the United Jewish Appeal during an emergency period, had to be paid before the 15th of August and agencies were pleading for advance payment at this time. "The only way this can be accomplished is for those who have made pledges to convert them into cash partially or in full at this time."  Campaign Chairmen Rodin Horrow and Morrie Douglas pleaded with non-givers to rush their contributions immediately since the Fund is still short of meeting the minimum needs for its beneficiary agencies, local, national and overseas.  Though praised very highly by the United Jewish Appeal as one of the outstanding 12 communities in the United States in 1951 for the job being done by San Diego Jewry, the campaign chairman and President, Victor Schulman, stated that there are many who have not as yet contributed and many who have not given enough. Of them we ask that they send their contribution immediately to the Fun headquarters at 333 Plaza so that the vast services of Fund agencies can go on in a measure consistent with the needs to be met.

There could be no greater disaster than the collapse of Israel." These were the worlds of Vice President Alben W. Barkley Sunday night when he addressed a rally in Tifereth Israel Synagogue, at which a new community total of $200,000.00 was pledged for the purchase of State of Israel Independence Bonds.  The Vice President's talk so stirred the community that the leadership of the United Jewish Fund and the San Diego Committee for B.I. G. (Bonds of the Israel Government) is taking steps to guarantee $250,000 worth of bond purchases within the next ten days. "It is essential that Israel fortify its economy so that it can continue to take its place with the free nations of the earth. No nation can stay free without a solid economy and these bonds that you are being urged to pledge will guarantee to insure Israel's continuing to take its place with the free nations of the earth," Barkley told the hundreds of members of the San Diego Jewish Community who were present in the Synagogue.  Presiding at the rally was Louis Steinman, chairman of the San Diego Committee for B.I.G.; the sponsoring organization for the Vice President's appearance in San Diego. Victor Schulman, co-chairman of the San Diego Committee, presented an 8-foot scroll to the Vice President expressing the Jewish community's appreciation to Barkley. The scroll will be available for more signatures at both Temple and Synagogue and meetings in the next few weeks.  Hundreds marched to the dais of the Synagogue to give their pledges to buy parts of the $500,000,00.00 Israel Bond issue.  George A. Scott, president of the San Diego Council of Churches declared, "The cause of Israel is both for Jews and non-Jews."  He paid tribute to the Vice President and said, "his talk was one which should have been heard by all Americans."  Mr. Scott expressed his concern for Israel's economic future by purchasing a $1,000 bond in the name of Jerry Levens, son of Rabbi Monroe Levens.  Before the rally, Vice President and Mrs. Barkley were guests at a dinner in the Hotel Manor. Rabbi Monroe Levens delivered the invocation and Cantor Julian Miller led in the signing of the "Star Spangled Banner."  Acting Mayor Schneider welcomed the Vice President on behalf of the city and urged the all out support of the sale of Israel Bonds.

-1952-
January 11, 1952—1) Monroe Levens, "An Answer to Mr. Victor Schulman's Open Letter," Southwestern Jewish Press, page 1: Mr. Victor Schulman's letter in the Jewish Press adds very little weight to his contentions. His article is self-defeating and quite amazing. I say "amazing" because it purports to answer an article of mine in the "Tifereth Israel Shofar." Yet nothing is said about the issue discussed in my article, except to have one phrase ripped out of context. In my article, I criticized one particular action of the Executive Committee of the United Jewish Fund—the preparation of a ballot, which I regard and still regard as undemocratic. I said nothing at all about the United Jewish Fund's accomplishments, and I most certainly made no evaluation o fits directors. To say that I "slandered" certain men whom Mr. Schulman names is gross misrepresentation.  I personally spoke to eight of the nine persons named by Mr. Schulman asking if they felt they had been slandered. every single one answered "No!" I can't understand on what basis Mr. Schulman makes his unwarranted and unfounded statement. Actually, I believe his statement is an indication of an emotional impatience, and I shall so regard it.  Mr. Schulman says my article "exemplifies" the attacks to "undermine the Fund." Yet at the same time he talks about the great success the Fund has had. The two statements just don't go together. Mr. Schulman is perfectly welcome to discuss any aspect of my service in San Diego before Congregation Tifereth Israel, or its affiliates. Tifereth Israel serves over 600 Jewish families directly in one way or another, through membership, its affiliated groups, educational system, etc.  It serves all 1500 of San Diego's Jewish families, directly or indirectly as all they Synagogues do. Mr. Schulman is welcome to present his case to them. Since Mr. Schulman's letter does not deal at all with the subject of my article, it can be psychologically interpreted only as an indictment of a deteriorated situation, the source of which should be certainly studied.  I want to join with Mr. Schulman in stressing this point, for Tifereth Israel, in the past two years, has been subjected to "unwarranted and unprincipled" accusation, sniping and derogation. Mr. Schulman hopes his letter will "clearly define the basic issues." He has, of course, clarified no issue of any kind, nor has he established any case whatsoever. Nevertheless, I am confident in Mr. Schulman;'s sincere and honest intentions to effect unity, harmony and cooperation, even if his methods are inadequate. Mr. Schulman will recall that, on several occasions, I,  of my own volition, visited him in his offices, just as anxious as he, to find the way of cooperation and good-will.
