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.
