Feiiiberg Warned to UJA Oash Coraitfes Robert M. Feinberg. a member of the UJA National Cabinet, has been named to the.National Committee l a u n c h i n g United Jewish Appeal's Cash Collection Campaign to meet critical Jewish needs in Israel and overseas. Commenting on his appointment, Mr. Feinberg noted that "while the Arab armies shattered by Israel during, the Six Day War have- bt-un rebuilt and rearmed at no cost, the Israel taxpayer is being called upon to make greater and costlier sacrifices to maintain Israel's' defenses against those armies." In addition to s h a r p 1 y rising taxes, every Israeli has been assessed 2 weeks' salary as his share of a new $100,000,000 defense loan. "The people of Israel can no longer share with us the lingo costs of immigrant absorption," said Mr. Feinberg. "We must assume full responsibility for the cost of building homes, medical services, education and rehabilitation.
