Cairo Radio Attacks Israel London (JTA) — T h e United States, Britain and France were bitterly attacked this Week In a broadcast from Cairo which Indicated that the' Washington policy of appeasing the Arab countries at the expense of Israel is falling to appease Egypt. The broadcast sold that the Arabs do not expect the forthcoming meeting of the Big Three Foreign Ministers at Paris to kittle the problems between the Arab countries and Israel, "jit the creator of Israel, they cannot remove it from existence—the only settlement satisfactory to the Arabs," the broadcast stated. "The settlement of the refugee, ArabIsrael frontier, and Jordan water questions cannot possibly become the basis of any relationship between the Arabs nnd Israel for the simple reason which is closely con nected with Israel herself and her ambitions," the .. broadcast declared.

Tlie amount of $303,326 was reported in by Ernest A. Nogg, General Chairman of the 1955 Jewish Philanthropies Campaign, as of Wednesday noon, "We ard now entering the final phase of our campaign," Mr. Nogg said, "we have almost reached the two-third mark of our campaign goal. "All divisions are Intensifying their efforts to clean up their cards with all speed possible and increases which arc necessary in this . campaign." "• In the meantime, Harry Sldman, General Men's Chairman, announced that his division swung into action following a breakfast meeting of a number of enthusiastic workers held last Sunday morning. Mr. Sldman reported that the cards In his division were being processed by tho solicitors and that more than 30 per cent of his campaign goal has already been reported with a very substantial ' Increase. Sam Steinberg, Chairman of the Initial C"ts Division, reported (hat $249,499 has already been registered in pledges. The workers in his division have undertaken to clean up all the cards within the next ten days. Mrs. Mike Freeman, Women's Division Chairman, expressed confidence that the cards in that division, which represent the largest number of prospects, are coming in steadily and that her co-chairmen and advisors and workers are all engaged in a swift clean-up and follow-up operation.
