The object of the drive is to raise enough cash on 1954 pledges to the Jewish Philanthropies campaign to enable the Federation to meet Its commitments to the agencies included In the annual campaign. "Some 200 agencies and institutions arc dependent upon tt|p cash that we will raise In this December drive. It is an urgent matter which will be brought to the attention of all subscribers of the Philanthropies campaign," Mr. Fcdcr said. ••' "Evpom all sides—from the United Jewish Appeal, from the Joint Defense Appeal, the B'nai B'rilh Institutions, national hospitals and religious Institutions, wo are besieged with pleas to provide the cash Which they need for their Important activities." Mi\ Fedcr stressed that because of the $325,000 loan from the bank* for the United Jewish Appeal Five Year Refunding Loan Project made earlier in the year, the Federation cannot borrow additional funds to meet the most urgent needs of its many: agencies. "We, therefore, must depend Upon accelerated incomo from our subscribers to obtain the cash so badly needed by our beneficiaries," Mr. Fcder emphasized, .Special mail appeals and billines are going out to all subscribers; an Immediate response will make it unnecessary to have a follow-up effort. \ •
