community where we poured out
millions in the days when the future of the surviving Jews waa

past campaign chairman, pleaded
with the workers to get behind
their leader and carry out their
obligations.

gigantic," Mr. Ullman de-lared.
"btu it can be done If each worker
takes a solemn oath to fulfill his
obligations to Lou Golden and to
our people In Europe and IsraeL"
