$30,000 in First Response To Cosh Drive. Feder Reports About $30,000 in cash has come In during the past few days in response to the special Cash Appeal of the Jewish Philanthropies, David Fcdcr, Pledge Redemption chairman, reported today. "This Initial response Is most encouraging to all of us," Mr. Feder said, "because It means that we will be In a position to start making payments to some 200 agencies which receive funds from the annual Philanthropies Campaign. This list Includes Omahn, national and overseas agencies and institutions. Every Jew In Omaha has a deep concern 'and Interest in all of them," Mr. Fedcr concluded. From Initial estimates, it appears that an additional $100,000 In cash will have to come In during the month of December, to enable the Philanthropies to meet commitments to agendes which fall due at this time.
"So far," Mr. Feder Indicated, payments have been mailed by subscribers In response to our Initial call. We earnestly hope that we can avoid; setting up Bpedal follow-up committees to gather in the cash. Omahans have always maintained an excellent record In this respect, and we hope that wo can save many hours of volunteer efforts, if the response continues as It began."
