April 10, 1947—"U.J.F. Workers Stepping Up Pace—To Reach Early Goal," Southwestern Jewish Press, page 1: With the Passover holidays celebrating the release of Jews from bondage, drawing to a close, the United Jewish Fund will intensify its campaign to raise $350,000 to provide food, shelter, medical aid and clothing for the Jews of Europe. Max Rabinowitz and Louis Steinman, chairmen of the campaign, announced that $000000 {Yes, that misprint appeared in the paper} had been raised by the Jews of San Diego which is more money than raised by the entire 1946 campaign. Eli Levenson, president of the United Jewish Fund, and Nathan Baranov, honorary chairman of the 1947 campaign, urged an all out effort to arouse the local community to the widest support of the United Jewish Fund drive for $350,000 of which approximately $300,000 will go to the United Jewish Appeal consisting of the Joint Distribution Committee, the United Palestine Appeal and the United Service for New Americans. The balance will be used for local and national needs. Workers in the Trades and Industries Division, Women's Division and the Young People's Division will be out calling on all prospects for their contribution. The Young People's Division led by Renee Perlmutter and Sallie Stone are showing the way, having raised $4335.00, $835.00 over their quota. Trades and Industries have pledges amounting to $121,342.53, while the Women's Division, with Julia Neumann and Bernice Soule at its head, have total pledges of $18,587.50. "Coverage," the most important word in the campaign, will come to life when the 2100 volunteer workers of the United Jewish Fund go out in full force to reach their prospects. {The following list appears in agate type}: Ben Feinberg, Morrie Douglas, Edward Breitbard, Dan Loewenthal, Phil Goldman, Marshall Naiman, Nathan Baranov, Harry Bennett, David Block, Abe Bronstone, Larry Cantor, Elliott Cushman, Jack Dembo, I.L Domnitz, Carl Esenoff, Irving Friedman, Elmer Glaser, Sander Goldberger, Everett Goldman, Murray D.

Elected by unanimous vote, Schulman continues the young dynamic leadership which has carried the Fund forward. Considered one of the outstanding young business men in San Diego, the new President of the Fund has devoted a great deal of time to civic activities and Jewish communal affairs. As chairman of the 1947 Allocations Committee, he introduced a pattern which drew national attention and which is now being practiced in many communities along the West Coast. With the assistance of his close friend, Jack Gross, Schulman guided the 1948 campaign in such a successful manner that it raised the largest amount in the history of the Jewish community of San Diego. In his very short acceptance talk before the Board, he stated, "I thank the Board for this honor and I hope that I will be worthy of it."

-1950-

March 10, 1950—1) "'Keep the Miracle Alive' Will Take $283,000 For SD; UJF Campaign Plans for 1950 Moves Ahead," Southwestern Jewish Press, Page 1: "Never before has San Diego Jewry seen such enthusiastic leadership in the pre-campaign period and in planning the drive," Murray Goodrich and Nate Ratner, chairmen, stated yesterday. "Most encouraging to us is the sincere interest being shown by community leaders in 'Keeping the Miracle Alive' in 1950. With the enthusiasm shown by everyone the campaign will be the best yet." Organization plans have been completed with the setting up of eight divisions in the Men's Group, a Women's Division under the leadership of Mrs. Selma Getz and a Christian division to be formed by Irving Friedman. The Young People's Division will be set up in the very near future. Captains and lieutenants of divisions, secured to date, read like a roster of leading citizens in the Jewish Community of San Diego. The Weizmann Division will be sparked by Louis Moorsteen, Its Penter, Louis Steinman, Ralph Hosenpud, Harry Snyder, Rod Horrow and Nate Baranov. Haganah Division will be officered by Sam Rassin, M.S. Berlin,, Edward Bland, Mickey Goldfarb, and Irvin Kahn. Al Newman, Milton Roberts, Sol Price, and Eli Levenson will be the dynamos to lead the Ben Gurion Group. Maurice Harris, Richard Levi, Harry Mallen, Eddie Kitaen, Jerry Freedman will spark the Palmach Division. The Magic Carpet Division will be lead by Morris Douglas, Dr. A.P. Nasatir, Morris Kraus, Abe Sklar, Sam Addleson, Harry Mallen, Bill Schwartz, Manny Fisher and Edward Breitbard. Again this year great things are expected from the Outlying District's Division which will be headed by Ben Harris, with Elmer Glaser of Oceanside, Arthur L. Cohen of Coronado, and Harold Sobel of Vista. A division to handle new prospects and those who did not contribute in 1949 will be led by Morris Niederman, Zel Camiel, Dr. Ornstein, Nathan Schiller, Henry Price, Dave Stotsky, Harry Dempsey and Mickey Fredman. The Commando Division to handle "Special Assignments" will have Max Rabinowitz, Harry Farb, Henry Weinberger, Saul Chenkin, Carl Esenoff and Victor Schulman as its leaders. The Professional Division will include Judge Jacob Weinberger, Dr. R.M. Stone, Dr. J.A. Rittoff, Dr. Fred Hollander, Ben Rubin, Carl Esenoff and John Ruskin. Cabinet members for the campaign to act as advisers to the chairmen were announced last week. The Campaign Cabinet will consist of Murray D. Goodrich and Nate Ratner, chairmen of the 1950 campaign. Victor Schulman, Eli Levenson, Saul Chenkin, Max Rabinowitz, Louis Steinman, Rodin Horrow, Morris Douglas and Sol Price. The 1950 Campaign, "To Keep the Miracle Alive" will have a goal of $283,000 based on minimum needs of the 38 Overseas, Israel, National and Local Agencies participating in the drive. The goal is the absolute minimum and must be raised if San Diego Jewry is to assume its responsibility in this cause. This year, as never before, plans are under way for the complete coverage of the entire Jewish Community of San Diego County. Everyone will have an opportunity to help shoulder their responsibility in this great national cause. More workers will be needed than ever before, according to Goodrich and Ratner, so that complete coverage may be effected. Organizations have been asked to provide workers and anyone wishing to volunteer may do so by calling Franklin 0171. All community minded Jews are asked to participate by giving and working in the "Keep the Miracle Alive" 1950 Campaign, which will open in early April.

At the first big gifts dinner 20 men had pledged a total of $42,200, an increase of 16 percent over their 1949 gifts. The figure, jointly released by campaign chairmen, Murray D. Goodrich and Nathaniel Ratner, indicated a campaign exceeding 1949 giving. Goodrich and Ratner, who were hosts at the dinner, reflected general satisfaction as a result of last Thursday's meeting. "We're moving fast toward the April 10th opening of the 'Keep the Miracle Alive' Campaign and at a high pace that shows how well people understand the desperate need," they stated. "We have confidence in this community that was confirmed Thursday night." Keynote of the dinner was sounded by Maurice Kompeniez, lay leader of Los Angeles, co-chairman of United Jewish Appeal and prominent Los Angeles manufacturer. "Israel," he said, "faces imminent attack from encircling Arab Nations, and is unprepared because so much money has been spent on the penniless newcomers. We are racing against time, racing to save people before they die, or before they are imprisoned forever," he continued, as he warned of the closing of the doors in Poland on April 15, and in all Eastern European countries. Present at the Goodrich-Ratner dinner were Victor Schulman, Nathan F. Baranov, Abe Ratner, Harry Snyder, Saul Chenkin, Louis Moorsteen, Irvine Schulman, Rodin Horrow, Edward Bland, Jack Gross, Harry Farb, Ralph Hosenpud, George Neumann, Max Rabinowitz, Elmer Glaser of Oceanside, Louis Steinman, Frank Winicki, Leeo Greenbaum and Abe Sackheim.

-1951-

January 5, 1951—"Fund Annual Meting Pledges Support for 1951," Southwestern Jewish Press, page 4: Over 200 members of the United Jewish Fund gathered at the Annual Meeting and heard Victor Schulman, President, announce that $100,000 cash had been guaranteed before the end of the year to the United Jewish Appeal against the forthcoming 1951 campaign. Schulman stated that the Fund had been asked to contribute only $75,000 toward the fifty million dollar quota set by the United Jewish Appeal. $75,000 has already been borrowed from the bank and dispatched, the other $25,000 will be sent at once. A telegram from Henry Morgenthau, Jr., retiring General Chairman of the United Jewish Appeal, acknowledging the advanced gift, lauded the community for its speedy fulfillment of the appeal and the stimulation it brought to communities throughout America. A citation was an outstanding citizen and Christian was presented to Charles Davies, chairman of the 1950 Christian Campaign for the United Jewish Fund. Mrs. Selma Getz, Murray D. Goodrich and Nathaniel Ratner were presented scrolls at the dinner from the United Jewish Appeal by Eli Levenson, Regional chairman, "in recognition of self-sacrificing effort and leadership in 1950 in support of development of Israel and the preservation and renewal of Jewish life at home and abroad." For the first time the United Jewish Fund presented scrolls to organizations in recognition of their work. The San Diego section of the National Council of Jewish Women was cited for help to Jewish displaced persons resettled in San Diego. To the San Diego Lasker Lodge went a citation for "outstanding community leadership in Operation Magic Carpet in the 1950 United Jewish Fund Campaign." Announcement of the election of 9 persons to the Key Club for outstanding service and leadership to the United Jewish Fund of San Diego and to the community also was made. Besides Mrs. Getz, Goodrich and Ratner, they included Leon Heiman, outstanding worker, Mrs. Arthur Goodman, David Anfangar and Richard Silberman for their work on the Young People's Division; Morris Douglas for his leadership of Magic Carpet Day; and Irving Friedman for his outstanding communal activity. The following were named to the Board of Directors: David Block, Leo Brett, William Burnett, Harry Farb, Manuel Fisher, Jerry Freedman, Irving Fredman, Murray Goodrich, Ben Harris, Richard Levi, Julius Levine, Harry Mallen, Louis Moorsteen, Dr. Walter Ornstein, Sol Price, Seymour Rabin, Nathaniel Ratner, Ben Rubin, Victor Schulman, Mrs. Ann Shelley, Louis Steinman and Henry Weinberger. Reports were given to the meeting by Max Rabinowitz, Treasurer, and the Campaign Chairman, Murray D. Goodrich. Other reports were given by Ben Harris, Allocations Committee; Morris Niederman, Loan Fund; Henry Weinberger, Armesd Services, Walter Ornstein, Emigre, and Saul Chenkin, Nominating. In the report of the President, Victor Schulman pointed out that the 1950 Campaign had done better than the national level. It showed a decrease of 10 percent in pledges while the national decrease was 18 percent, and a 9 1/2 percent increase in the number of contributors, while the national level was a 4 percent decrease. Schulman pointed out that there was a great deal of loose talk about the Fund, and that he hoped that people would get their information correct. Speaking of the reserve fund, he stated that such funds were in pledges and had never been in cash, and could not be in cash unless the Fund stopped operation for one year. Executive Direct (Al) Hutler in his report pleaded for conversion of pledges in cash NOW so that the Fund might meet its commitments to the United Jewish Appeal for 1951's advanced cash. He reported on the Conference in Washington of the National Council of Jewish Welfare Funds and Federations.

2) "Big Gifts Group to Hear Reynolds," Southwestern Jewish Press, page 9: Sunday, March 18 will be "K" day in San Diego, according to Louis Moorsteen, Special Gifts Chairman of the 1951 United Jewish Fund Campaign. "'K' Day," he explained, "means 'key day' in this year's drive because the 'key' to the success of the Combined Jewish Appeal is in the Special Gifts Dinner Meeting on the 18th at the Don Room of the El Cortez Hotel." Correspondent Quentin Reynolds, America's best known foreign news reporters, will address the pre-campaign dinner meeting. A keen observer and astute analyst, Mr. Reynolds has been a foreign correspondent since 1933 covering an imposing list of war fronts including North Africa, Sicily, Italy, Russia and France. Reynold's reports have reached the American people through motion pictures, books, radio, special recordings and lectures. As a reporter he has worked with the New York World, New York World-Telegram and International News Service. In 1933 he went to Germany as a foreign correspondent. Returning a year later he became an associate editor of Collier's and went back to Europe at the outbreak of war as a roving reporter. Since then his reports have continued to illuminate events in Europe, and he has been particularly interested in the plight of European Jewry and in Israel. He has seen at first hand the DP Camps and the immigration to Israel. He was there when Israel became a State. He has interviewed Ben Gurion, Israeli cabinet members and plain citizens. Reynolds speaks on behalf of the United Jewish Appeal which will be allocated the bulk of the money raised in San Diego, for its three agencies: The United Palestine Appeal, Joint Distribution Committee, and United Service for New Americans, which are charged with the care of destitute Jews in Europe and North Africa, immigration to Israel and the integration of newcomers to the United States. Special Gifts Chairman Louis Moorsteen said that more than 200 persons are expected to hear Reynolds open San Diego's Jewish drive for $233,000 as part of its quota of the $232,000,000 goal of the nation-wide effort of the United Jewish Appeal.

Encouraging reports are coming from every side. The campaign shows a 30 percent increase in giving. At press time reports from campaigning headquarters showed the Women's Division still leading the parade of workers with $32,000 or 95 percent of their goal of $35,000. They expect to top their goal by the 30th, Mrs. (Sarah) Goodrich, (Anne) Ratner and (Rose) Neuman(n) stated. Special gifts led by quiet, hard working Lou Moorsteen already has exceeded last year's amount and has reached 64 percent of its goal of $120,000. Milt Roberts and Ben Harris report that their large gift workers are moving fast to take advantage of Bartley Crum's visit which raised over $11,000 in one of the finest meetings of the campaign. Aiding Milt are Yale Kahn, Jerry Freedman and Harry Farb who are working hard on the Liquor Division. The professional Men are being led by Dave Block, Carl Esenoff, Manny Fisher and Dr. Oscar Ravin, who are contacting doctors, lawyers and accountants. County areas and Tiajuana (sic, Tijuana) will be started this week according to the chairmen, with a meeting being held in Tiajuana and Ensenada in the very near future. The campaign has the united support of San Diego Jewry. Histadrut leadership and workers are doing an outstanding job under the generalship of Reuben Umansky and Sol Goodman. Zionists and non Zionists are working equally hard. All three congregations are giving of their men and women in this year of urgency. "Give today—tomorrow may be too late" is the slogan being carried by the workers to every organization, every meeting and every individual. It is a slogan inspired by the needs of the 38 agencies and institutions at home and abroad served by the United Jewish Fund. Give now and help end the campaign by May 6th, the chairmen urged.

"Though this represents an increase of 30 percent over 1951, my co-chairmen and I," said Jack Gross, "have faith in the Jews of San Diego answering the desperate plea of their brethren overseas. we are confident that every Jew in San Diego will play his part in this great cause." The formal announcement of the April 1st opening of the United Jewish Fund's Combined Jewish Appeal for 1952 put organization plans into high gear as Jack Gross and his Chairmen announced the appointment of William Schwartz and Louis Mogy as Manpower Mobilization Chairmen. Organizations cooperating in the campaign have already begun the appointment of their chairmen: Philip Abrams for the Cottage of Israel; William Schwartz for Lasker Lodge B'nai B'rith; Sam Addleson for Congregation Tifereth Israel; and Mrs. Ann Godes for Beth Jacob Sisterhood.

The current nationwide United Jewish Appeal Campaign will be launched officially February 24th in Miami Beach.

Under the campaign plan, free money (charity dollars) will continue to be allocated to the United Jewish Appeal, Histadrut and other Israel agencies, to national institution and agencies, ie: hospitals, religious institutions, Anti-Defamation League, American Jewish Committee. Local welfare agencies, members of the Federation such as the Jewish welfare Society and the Old Folk's home will also be beneficiaries.

These agencies are responsible for the care of Jews in Europe and Moslem countries, their immigration to Israel and America, meeting their needs in the new State and resettlement in the United States. An increased of 30 percent over 1951 giving will be necessary to meet the needs of the 1952 drive.

April 4, 1952—"The Campaign Is On—Advance Gift Sets New Precedent; "Change A Tent Into a Home", Southwestern Jewish Press, page 1: With this as their slogan, over 200 determined men and women mobilized into an army for the 1952 Combined Jewish Appeal of the United Jewish Fund and began an all-out offensive this week with a goal of $272,146 as their objective. Inspired by the Women's Division and the results of the work of the Advance Gifts Section, headed by the chairman of the campaign and the president of the Fund, workers will move quickly into every section of the city, carrying to every Jewish man and woman of the community the plea of the Fund on behalf of the needy at home and abroad and for the continuance of vital welfare, religious and educational services and throughout the country. In a spectacular Advance Gifts Drive, headed by Jack Gross, Sol Price, Harry Snyder and Louis Moorsteen, over $80,000 was secured in the first five days of their effort. This along with the 3 luncheons of the Women's Division, headed by Mesdames Loretta Gross, Helen Schulman, Freda Mallen, and Frances Strauss, which has raised to date $34,5000 brought the first 5 days' results of the campaign to an unprecedented $117,297 or 43 percent of the goal. Workers in the downtown and outlying districts were prepared this week to make known the tremendous requirements of the United Jewish Appeal, the fundraising body for the three major agencies in the field of rehabilitation, resettlement and reconstruction—the Joint Distribution Committee, United Israel Appeal and United Service for New Americans—all of them looking to the Fund for their local financing. These workers typified a community united in a common cause—people from varied walks of life and of different ideologies all joining in behalf of a cause transcending differences of any sort. Campaign leaders announced that a 30 percent increase is sought over last year's results in order to give the fullest aid to over 42 beneficiary agencies covering the field of agencies overseas, and in Israel, hospital, health and welfare agencies, religious, cultural and educational institutions, and community relations organizations in the United States, as well as local Jewish agencies. Mr. Gross stressed that the 1952 campaign is really three campaigns in one and includes assistance for immigration to Israel and the United States of Jewish refugees throughout the world; their care on arrival; the development of housing and industry in Israel; so that newcomers will be able to be integrated in the life of the nation; and aid to national an local institutions and agencies.
