Launching of the special driva yesterday followed an emergency meeting Friday at which more than 300 representatives of the . country's major Jewish communities voted for the drive. Their action came after a personal plea from .Israel F o r e i g n Minister Moshe Sharett In which ho called upon Jews in the free world, and especially in the United States, to "bear the.brunt" at this tuns of Israel's immigration, agricultural development and economic consolidation. Mr. Sharett stated that Israel regards the reception, absorption and resettlement of North A'rlcan Jews a priority task in view of the fact that so many have asked to come, "It must be the concern of American Jews," Mr. Sharett declared, "to see to It that this highly creative work. upon the success of which our entire future rests, should not onljr not bo jeopardized by the present emergency but should, by very reason of it, expand and prosper." The plan for raising the extra $25,000,000 was presented to th» .'i00 community leaders at the emergency conference by William Iloscnwald, general chairman of tho UJA, Edward M. M. Warburg, UJA president, and Rabbi Herbert A. Friedman, executive vicc-chalrmnn of the UJA. The plan as adopted "enjoins the United Jewish Appeal to take immediate steps to raise a special UJA fund of 525,000,000 to be separate from, and additional to, the sums that the UJA will raise In 1958. through its regular nationwide campaign."

Mr. Shnrctt said that "the demarcation lines along the IsraelArab frontlens can bo altered, but only by mutual consent, and not by force. There might be mutual adjustments if the Arabs and the Israelis met withinthc framework of the armistice agreements," he stated. Among some of the statements made by Mr. Sharett, In addition to his comment about Sir Anthony's proposal, were: 1. "What the Russians hope to gain by the Czech arms deal with Egypt Is a foothold of Influence in the Middle East to counter Western moves which they see as a potential danger." 2. "Tho generous financial support given Israel development by contributors in the United States Is nn indication of the hopefulness and tho confidence in Israel's future, and not a sign of Israel's economic weakness. Israel might require assistance for development purposes If it had peace and consequently had to spend less for its defense forces." 3.
