Southwestern Jewish Press, October 16, 1953, Page 1
While two new agencies were added to the list of beneficiaries of the United Jewish Fund, the National Jewish Welfare Board received the largest increase in allocations of any agency according to the report of the distribution of the monies raised in the 1953 campaign just released by the Fund.
Finding that the National Jewish Welfare Board, working with men and women in the service, was in a critical financial condition, the Fund increased its amount by $500 from $2,000 in 1952 to $2,500 in 1953.
The National Community Relations Advisory Council and the Jewish Publication Society of America were the two new agencies added to the list of beneficiaries which are to receive money in 1953 from San Diego’s Jewish Community.
The report of the Allocations Committee which was, in the main, approved by the Fund Board of Directors at its October meeting, indicated that needs of the United Jewish Appeal for its activities in Europe, Moslem countries, and in Israel are still as great as they were in 1952. Therefore, the report stated “every effort will be made to give the United Jewish Appeal $110,000, which is the same amount received by them from the Jewish Community of San Diego in 1952.”
Though only $196,000 has been raised in pledges to date, allocations of the Fund are based on reaching the goal of $210,000 before the end of 1953 according to Murray D. Goodrich, President of the Fund. Other allocation(s) that were made are:
