Sen. Klaver Files For Re-Election, State Legislature
.The amount of $550,000 was set as the campaign goal of the 1960 Jewish Philanthropies drive which encompasses agencies and institutions in Omaha, in the United States, throughout tile world and in Israel, Milton R. Abrahams, General Chairman of the Philanthropies Campaign announced this week. Goal—Absolute Minimum "This campaign goal is an increase of some $70,000 over the amount raised last year," Mr. Abrahams stated, "and represents the minimum needs of the beneficiaries included in our annual campaign." The amount of $550,000 was approved unanimously by a joint meeting of the Federation Executive Committee, and the Campaign Cabinet, which consists of past campaign leadership. This action followed the presentation of the needs of the United Jewish Appeal by Rabbi Isadore Breslau, a national officer of the United Jewish Appeal, and a discussion of the requirements of the Omaha agencies, Harry Trustin, Federation president, added. J-oeal Agencies' No.wl Local activities, such as the Home for Aged, the Religious Schools, the Center, the Family Service program are facing increased costs of operation. Addi-
tional funds are required to sustain the activities of these agencies which provide Omaha with its complete network of Jewish services. In addition, the needs of national community relations agencies have increased, due to current manifestations of anti-Jewish feelings. The educational and public relations work of these agencies must be strengthened in order to make their services more affective. Most urgent is the support of the relief and rehabilitation pregrams in Israel, where some 100,000 newcomers are still in desperate need of assistance. With tha security program draining Israel's own resources, American Jewry is called upon to help in a program whic his definitely one of succor and reconstruction. Hopes for Responso "Tlie goal adopted by our leadership is possible of attainment, Mr, Abrahams stated. It will be necessary, of course, to interpret the needs which must be met by the 1960 campaign. We hope that the members of our community will respond in a generous measure. "We are building up a fine campaign organization, and with the cooperation and understanding of all members of the community, we will attain our goal," Mr. Abrahams concluded.
