Isadore Chapman, active communal and civic leader, has accepted the post of Initial Gifts Chairman of the 1956 Jewish Philanthropies and United Jewish Appeal Emergency Campaign, Mayor John Rosenblatt, General Chairman of the Campaign, announced today.

General Chairman of Jewish Philanthropies and UJA Campaign • With so much at stake in this year's campaign—the 'most critical campaign wo havo faced since 1948—We need 5iardworlring volunteers to lielp mobilize the great funds that must be made available to tho United Jewish Appeal. I am therefore calling on you directly, and I know you will respond with tho same great understanding that you have displayed in the past. Why do I call this the moat critical campaign since 19487 Simply bccAiuo now, as ten, the people of Israel aro faced with a deadly peril. With the Communists pouring arms into Egypt, the question for them bocomca one of simple survival. They are forced to allocato huge sums for defense-—they have no choico in this, because they don't lmovv how BOOH it may bo before they find these arms used against them. Even in their hour of terrible danger, however, tho people of Israel refuse to abandon their responsibility to other imperilled Jews. They are determined to keep the gates of immigration open for the tciM of thousands who wish to leave the tension and misery of North Africa. But it is up to tho Jews of America, through the United Jewish Appeal, to see that those refugees reach those gatc3, so that they may take up new Iive3 of dignity and opportunity. We must not fail them. To make this campaign a success many workers are needed, for they are tho heart of any campaign, those who do the actual plugging, the leg-work, the persuading. We havo so many ]ou3 to do to Achieve our goal. That is why I am appealing to you personally. Pleaso join us as An active campaign worker, Let mo know I can count on you by signing and returning tho form below, Mayor John Rosenblatt General Chairman, ' Jewish Philanthropies and UJA Emergency Campaign 101N. 20th it.
